  • the beginners who try it are constantly asking questions about why their generated code doesn’t work

    Because it ain’t here to generate all their code for them. It’s a glorified autocomplete and suggestion engine. When are people gonna get this? (not you, just in general)

    I use CoPilot myself, but if you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing yourself, you and CoPilot will both quickly hit a dead end together. It doesn’t actually understand what you want the code to do. Only what is similar to what you have already written or prompted for, which may be some garbage picked up from a noob on the web somewhere. Books and research using your meatbrain are still very much needed.

    I had to start using my damn phone alarm again after my useless Google speakers failed to trigger them a couple times. WTF, do they save the alarms on the cloud or something? Seems like something that should be running locally and should rarely fail, it’s a damn alarm, not a Space Shuttle.









  • I suppose nobody read the article before pulling the “Elon bad” trigger (I get it though). This is happening the same way Toyotas end up in the hands of ISIS. They’re being smuggled through all kinds of back channels and the true account user is not the same as the account owner.

    I don’t think this is one we can fully blame him for. These Starlink systems are just too convenient and useful for a less advanced military to not try to take advantage of it somehow.







  • Me at 14 trying to recreate my favorite palm-muted metal strumming patterns from songs I know: “what the hell why does their shit sound so good and thumping and my shit sounds like AM radio static in a tin can?”

    Me, many many years later: “BASS! IT WAS ALL MISSING THE FUCKING BASS!”
