I am also a LineageOS user, though this feature seems like a good feature. You can block apps from being able to access your local network, which seems like a welcome restriction.

How would you undo the psychosis while still using the thing inducing psychosis??

I write code myself all day, as I have always done

That’s great. If you enjoy it, do what you love

more and more software engineers are finally starting to see the consequences of relying on LLMs for software development.

And they are adapting how they use said LLMs, not ending its use. People are developing and refining it constantly. They will keep refining until they get consistently good results.

Writing code has never been the bottleneck.

The problem is always ultimately with management. But if management is able to give an impossible deadline, and AI is able to meet that deadline, wouldn’t that make a human writing, testing, refining the code the bottleneck? Management could make bad decisions, see the results of those decisions very quickly after AI writes it, and have the AI revise it (wash rinse repeat) much faster than humans could write and revise the same code. To management’s dismay, humans are also more likely to give their opinions about how their idea is unrealistic. Management doesn’t care what you think, they want you to do what they say. And AI does just that. Management’s poor decisions would have even fewer consequences since it could be revised so quickly.

Also in all the places I worked 99% of the code was not copy-pasted.

Yea, it was attempted humor. The classic “copy paste” joke, though I admit it didn’t read well.

AI generated slop

It might be slop now, but we can’t assume it will always be that. If AI gets to a point where large pieces of code can be written almost instantly with zero bugs, then we will definitely have code written almost exclusively by AI. I agree that some of the very complex stuff would actually be cheaper to pay someone than pay the for the computational power for an AI to do it, but that is probably about it.

Whatever people feel about that is totally fair. I am not saying I think it’s better, I just see that is the ultimate outcome. And an outcome I think most of us will live to see in the not so distant future.

These chat bots are spreading psychosis on a scale so massive the damage is gonna take years to undo.

take years to undo

You said it would take years to undo, saying it will be undone. What were you talking about being undone in a thread about code being written by AI, if it wasn’t about undoing code writing AI? If the psychosis is induced by AI, wouldn’t the usage of said AI have to cease?

It doesn’t matter if AI is as good as they claim. Right now, and every new moment, is the worst AI will ever be. Don’t be shortsighted and assume since it can’t currently do X it will never do X. 2GB of RAM was once a lot of RAM. At the time, we would have said what on earth would anyone ever need 32GB of RAM for.

Not to mention who knows how many bugs AI has already found and fixed in Microslops code. It’s already in the thousands, that’s for sure.

And before someone starts throwing insults for me “defending” AI, I am strictly talking about AI as a technology. I am not talking about what the mega corps are doing to create said AI. The legislature needs to be quick to stop these companies from destroying the planet trying to innovate AI the fastest. Despite that, I can still recognize AI as the innovation that it is. There are a lot of things AI does not belong in, but unfortunately writing code is one of the perfect use cases for AI.

It’s funny you think it’s going to be undone. We are not going back to a time where humans type code for any serious commercial product. As they said in the article:

Fowler isn’t saying developers will stop reading code, or that software engineering is done. His point is that manually typing code line by line, in an editor, is becoming the least interesting part of the job.

But there will be a point where very little code is written line by line by humans. Though I suppose most of it was already copy pasted anyway.

Why would someone do that on the internet? I thought this was a safe place Q.Q

Per the vault warden release notes:

We strongly advice to update as soon as possible.

With the vulnerabilities being patched these days, it seems ill asvised to disable automatic updates for something as critical as a password manager.

Is it actually your drive slowing you down? Do you have a hard drive or SSD? You could run ReadSpeed to see the speed at different segment of your drive. If it’s slow across the whole thing, that’s probably why it’s so sluggish. If it’s just the beginning and end of the drive on an SSD, you might be able fix it.

Certain files, involving a certain island.

I agree with the fact that there are not thorough diagrams with part numbers and wirijg diagrams like there used to be. A part of it is the fault of the manufacturer, and a part of it is just the way things are made now. Circuit boards are not as simple as they once were to include comprehensive wiring diagrams. They could absolutely break the modules into different boards and label the boards with different part numbers, so rather than replacing a resistor you’d just have to replace that board. It’s also not clear to me how many people actually have a comprehensive understanding of the item being sold.

But there is the obvious fact that companies want you to buy another one and not repair it. It’s often cheaper for them to not repair the product themselves, and just replace the entire unit. They dont keep a surplus of parts for repairs, nor do they want to spend the man power troubleshooting and fixing the issue. It’s just cheaper to replace it entirely. If they themselves will just replace rather than repair why would they bother keeping detailed documentation. If anyone cared for the enviornment more than money, they’d probably do it. But we all know how that goes.

I would also add that even previously they were prioritizing money. It was just cheaper for them to make it repairable, especially if they are going to offer some sort of warranty. It was also good for business since it made customers happy. I think at some point it became cheaper to do it the way we do now

I partly disagree with what you say. The subscription appliance garbage absolutely do lock advanced user manuals behind paywalls. But it isn’t not rare (at least right now) to still find products with good user manuals. There are usually separate documents with one being a “quick setup” and another being a full “user manual”. Avoid the worst offenders and you should be okay.
