Why does this sound like NL posted this?!

What's the book called?

⚠️ An active phishing attack is targeting crate owners by asking them to "confirm that your email address is still active". These messages are not from crates.io, and should be ignored. (We will never ask you to confirm that your e-mail address is still active.) ⚠️

That's really cool! Maybe huge tests like these really can serve as a foundation to make flakes stable 🤔

Also bots would mass follow people to get follow backs

Yup! It's a real issue in any growing codebase, I just think the intuition of good developers is better at anticipating changes to requirements than current LLMs. It sounds borderline impossible to me to make a training dataset that captures this large scale understanding over evolving systems.

I call these things LLMs produce in codebases "Vibe Vestiges", maybe you will find the term fitting :)

Giraffes have a vestige called the recurrent laryngeal nerve. It's takes a >4 meter long detour through the entire neck to reach a different part of the head.
As giraffes evolved the nerve got more and more wasteful. Vibe coding does the same to your codebase.

Oh that's nice, I love my casio but I almost never wear it because I like the smartwatch data.
I think you convinced me to buy a kit ^^

Thanks, good to see the community is big enough for lix to exist when regressions are made :)

Why lix over nix? Is it just so the alternatives are good if the nix team ever happens to spontaneously combust?

So true, untested backups are scaaary

Amazon holds engineering meeting following AI-related outages Amazon's ecommerce business has summoned a large group of engineers to a meeting on Tuesday for a "deep dive" into a spate of outages, including incidents tied to the use of AI coding tools. The online retail giant said there had been a "trend of incidents" in recent months, characterised by a "high blast radius" and "Gen-AI assisted changes" among other factors, according to a briefing note for the meeting seen by the FT. Under "contributing factors" the note included "novel GenAI usage for which best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established".

We’ve been saying this for years, Gen AI is not a reliable engineering tool! 🥲

It's really good to be aware of what's you give up when you outsource to ai. Kudos

That's very nice. Too bad ai code often sneaks in unannounced tho

Can we just build more solar please, it's free energy

Ya got me good, I thought it was real for a sec

Cool! Can it handle banking apps and calls tho?

Your heart knows it wants it

Ohnooo, I thought it was a really good feature

In domains I'm not experienced in, sure, it can produce a basic working artefact faster than me, but I feel as though this tricks you into believing its peaks are higher than your own.
If you rely on it, your own ability to reach those peaks will decrease, shifting your perspective even further

I wonder if it really is as powerful as you make it out to be.
I don't see much evidence of it writing code that is truly hard to write, the kind that isn't near the middle of the bell curve.
Sure, it will replace many people, but won't the scaling curve flatten before it reaches top performers?

this fine fish fixes his fins

10/10 would recommend (it's only been a few days with this setup so maybe take with a grain of salt but tailscale work nicely)

Same here, somehow only set it up like 2 days ago

I found an unused 25 euro microsoft giftcard in a drawer yesterday idk where its even from and idk what I would even do with it I gotta find a prince that needs it and can then give me diamonds or something

I read that email preparing for the worst, and my server costs like 2 euros a month more

+2
If you ever see me using another os just know a body double has replaced me

The first time I tried it, it also didn't stick. The initial hurdle is definitely real, but imo it's worth it.
Nothin wrong with Arch tho, I think I'd probably be on it if not for NixOS. Oh and another thing is you can just use the nix package manager on Arch to try it

It's finally time to let yall try out Ratebit! It's a cross-platform recommendation site that lets you define the algorithm yourself!
