My bro, your TA wasn’t better at coding because “higher IQ”. They were better because they put in the hours to build the instincts and techniques that characterize an experienced developer. As for LLM usage, my advice is to be aware of what they are and what the aren’t. They are a randomized word prediction engine trained on— among other things— all the publicly available code on the internet. This means they’ll be pretty good at solving problems that it has seen in its training set. You could use it to get things set up and maybe get something partway done, depending on how novel your idea is. An LLM cannot think or solve novel problems, and they also generally will confidently fake an answer rather than say they don’t know something, because truly, they don’t know anything. To actually make it to the finish line, you’ll almost certainly need to know how to finish it yourself, or learn how to as you go.

Agree on all points. Act 1 was the best. Your reward for playing all the way through is you get to play Act 1 again, as a full-fledged game of its own.

I see it’s a popular tactic to accuse the whistleblowers as being the ones with the real problem, which is a bullshit attempt to suppress discourse on the topic. I have another idea: that maybe those who claim that this picture isn’t sexual have been overexposed to much harder child sexual content, and as a result this picture doesn’t register on their radar. Speaking as someone who has not been exposed to any child sexual material, this is immediately, obviously meant to titillate.

Yeah, they can be useful, but not in the way that the snake oil salesmen would like you to believe. Code completion suggestions are kind of a wash: often close but needing corrections, to the point where it’s easier to just write it myself. Vibe coding really only works for basic, already-solved problems. Many kinds of code changes take such a level of precision or so many back-and-fourths with the AI that it’s more efficient to describe the logic in a programming language than in English. But AI can help with large repetitive tasks, though. Use it like a refactoring tool, but for refactorings not offered by your normal tooling. It’ll get you close, then you put the final touches on yourself.

True for me too, only I did buy a PS5, then a Steam Deck, then built a Linux gaming PC. I doubt I’ll ever go back to PS again, not after this gen.

What? No. No, dawg, no. Ignorance isn’t a virtue. Knowledge and expertise are something to be proud of.

No we are not. Our “representatives” listen to their corporate masters, the ones who line their pockets and fund their campaigns. They don’t listen to us.

LLMs are absolutely not able to create wonders on par with the pyramids. They’re at best as capable as a junior engineer who has read all of Stack Overflow but doesn’t really understand any of it.

It’s been a long, long time, but I don’t recall having the impression that any of the so-called harem actually desired him at all. Rei was apathy toward everything, I don’t recall Asuka showing anything but competitiveness, disdain, and occasional grudging respect, and Misato treated him like a kid brother. And yeah everyone needed therapy!
- Comment on Buddy baka 6 months ago:
Whatever. I collected and watched Evangelion on VHS back in the 90s. Maybe “incel” isn’t quite accurate, but Shinji really was quite a pathetic wimp of a protagonist.

Btw she was hospitalized after a savage defeat while piloting a mech where the pilot feels all the damage as if it’s happening to them. Her mech was ripped apart and devoured by a pack of hostile umanned mechs.

The whole movie, even the whole series was pretty fucked up like this.
- Comment on Buddy baka 6 months ago:
I believe it’s a recreation of a scene from one of the endings of Evangelion. My hazy guess is the movie “End of Evangelion.” Asuka (on the GPU) lies unconscious in a hospital bed. Shinji (incel protagonist) stands over her. He shuts the door to the hall and breathes heavily for a few seconds, then this shot with white instead of gray.
