Hazzard

Alright, guess I'll reiterate my usual beats here. AI code assistance is interesting, and I'm not against it. However, every current solution is inadequate, until it does the following:

1. Runs locally, or in an on-prem instance. I'm not taking it up with legal or security if I'm allowed to send our proprietary code off to be analyzed on a foreign server. And I'm not doing it without asking. It just isn't happening.
2. It has to be free, or paid for by my company. It's cool, and it might help me work, but paying a subscription fee on something that only benefits me at work is essentially the same as a pay cut. Not interested.
3. It has to analyze the entire repo. In my current tests of ChatGPT, for most cases I've spent long enough giving it context that I could've just... solved the problem myself. It needs to have that context already.

What a fantastic read! Quite funny throughout, and genuinely insightful.

Don't love the framing of this paragraph from TechCrunch. It's not that they're charging for the API. That's understandable and obvious, and we all wanted the platform to survive. I'll be happy to volunteer to contribute to lemmy development/server costs/app development one day. It's that they're grossly overcharging for the API to such an extreme degree that paid subscriptions to third party apps actually lose money.

In April, Reddit announced its plans to start charging developers to access data through its API. The move was obvious — to restrict third parties from accessing Reddit data that can help build text-generating machine learning models such as OpenAI’s GPT 4. Developers building apps and bots to assist people using Reddit and researchers who wish to study the platform for noncommercial purchases were among the few exceptions. However, as a result, third-party apps, including popular Reddit client Apollo, found it difficult to pay for those charges and decided to go offline. Various popular subreddit moderators came in support of those apps and developers and started protesting against the API pricing move.

Good, Bethesda doesn't have the best reputation for technical excellence (earned), so I'm happy to hear they're being aggressive in partnering with those who do to make this thing run as best as it can at launch.

Huh? I thought they were working on a Bond game, when did an "online fantasy RPG" come into the mix?

Oof, so counterproductive. I'm a hard reviewer, always try to hold others to the standard of code I'd like to work in, and be held to myself, but every once in a while I see a PR that's just... no changes required.

I love just hitting accept without making any feedback, it means my coworker valued my feedback and actually internalized it. Trying to laser in and nitpick something unnecessary would be a waste of all our time.

My #1 desire for a new Bethesda game is for them to figure out how to make console modding good, and to do it early. Would love for the next generation of nexus mods to have console stuff from the get go, and for the missing tools to immediately be good enough to not require PC specific tools to expand it like SKSE.

Hopefully they've already looked at SKSE, and made sure Starfield supports that stuff natively.

Just worked for me on mobile, maybe the site was having issues? Worth another shot.

Personally, I'm subscribing to the belief that the fediverse's attribute of "true censorship is impossible" is a benefit, not a curse. Every prior example of censorship has just morphed into "advertiser palatable". Which is bad for everyone.

More than happy to have access to instances that will take the kind of drastic action you're suggesting, access to my own "block" function, etc. Let them come.

The fediverse will inevitably host some messed up stuff. Counting it a blessing that those people have a clear place to go to and sequester themselves off.

So ultimately? More than happy to have an instance that agrees with this extreme anti-censorship posture. Sh.itjustworks is fine in my books. I can block the community, just like I could block subreddits on Reddit without abandoning the whole platform. Hell, even write a script to block everyone who's subscribed to the community. The power is yours now, and nobody can take that away. That's the fediverse.

Thank you! Was looking for this just today, as I'd seen it on Reddit before making the jump, but couldn't find it!

I used an extension a while ago that changed CSS colour values (#ababab) into little coloured dots, that became a colour picker when clicking on them (while still letting you input RGB or Hex, ofc), and it was pretty awesome!

So, I could unironically see this being really nice. Although... I think this would need a pretty narrow context, something like if x == true would look pretty confusing as a toggle, I imagine. But assigning x = true? Bring it on.
