It’s also great if you have a general knowledge of something but don’t know the details. Like today I needed to do some database introspection using queries in Snowflake, I knew exactly what I needed but not where the database schema is located etc., so I let GPT write the query instead.

Or some time ago I needed to get all instances of classes implementing a specific generic interface in .NET, the code eventually dabbled into the very specifics of the runtime, it would’ve taken me much longer to find out with documentation.

All in all, it’s my opinion that AI is great if two conditions are met:

• you know exactly what you want to do and you can specify it to very tiny details
• you have the knowledge to verify whether the result makes sense without running the code (or at least the knowledge that it can’t break your app or computer)

Ah, thanks I wasn’t aware of the book, nor of that particular detail of murder.

GIMP is nowhere close to Photoshop in usability. Don’t know about others.

Yeah, gamblers, famous for their understanding of odds.

After they tried to do a coup, they had to diversify. Making pizzas is less likely to cause falling from a window or mistake novichok for sugar.

I love the Ristorante line of their pizzas. Sadly the store I usually buy stuff from no longer sells my favourite one.

Can I join the pandemonium instead?

2 was really boring. Though I didn’t like even True Colors. But the original and Before the Storm are some of my most favourite games altogether.

Stupid term people use for “writing” code without the knowledge of programming by using AI.

Kinda the next level of running random code from the internet without understanding what it does.

I (and everyone I know) eat every day, world hunger is blown out of proportion!

Hey, Cheryl/Charlene/Cristal/whatever was awesome!

I’m probably out of the loop, what’s the significance of the words starting with D?

You think being brave is not being afraid? In this case, not being afraid means you’re dumb, not brave.

And thanks to Proton you can now do pretty much everything that you can do on Windows. Unless you do graphics design.

Can I pick the tattoos?

Or as I like to call it, “an unexpected unpaid work in my free time.”

Sure, sure. I think it was obvious what I’m talking about, but yeah, you got me.

No, it probably isn’t more dangerous in the direct sense. But it’s more dangerous in the subtler ways. Look, I’m from a country where we had the Soviet bland of dictatorship disguised as communism and let me tell you it’s very similar to the Chinese bland.

You have to censor your opinions because you might end up in prison for saying the wrong thing to the wrong people. And the worst thing, you don’t know what you’re missing because the government and its secret police tries really hard to make sure you don’t know how much better it is.

I believe that you had a superb time as a tourist in China, after all they only show you the good parts as a tourist. You’re simply not allowed anywhere that might shed light on their propaganda.

I’m not saying US is some kind of utopia or whatever, but pretending China is a good country to live in is crazy and dangerous.

Yep, the two tiny plates do the grounding. There are two standards in EU, Type E (with the grounding PIN) and Type F (with the tiny plates).

If you want some with the grounding pin, come visit Czechia! We use the Type E. I think France does as well and probably others.

Do you folk have any other talking points than “but USA bad”? This question is not about USA, it’s about fucking China.

You sure nothing’s as terrifying? I think being an Uyghur in a Chinese concentration camp might be even worse.
