Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I was experimenting with DeepThink today for some code and not super happy with it. It's worked great on other non-code stuff I've thrown at it, but today it hit me with a lot of unnecessary imports, over-condensing code examples, and i think mixing up languages.

Of course, I didn't have much better luck on chatgpt afterwards either. Which was surprising tbh. It kept screwing up my context window, refusing to let me split my data across multiple prompts. 4o, free though, so I wonder if they're just limiting me because I'm poor. I've had much better luck previously.

edit: this was supposed to be in your other post. lol.

I thought you were gonna lead into a bit about Trump admin using AI decision making

lol. I feel silly.

I haven't tried it for coding yet. I've had pretty mixed experience with models in this regard, so I mostly don't tend to bother. The most I do is try to get them to generate sql queries.

lol, yeah I use them for that a lot too. Pain in my ass. :hahaha

I don't code as a job, but I deal with codes for solving simple problems and automating certain office work. I use it extensively to write loops and nested loops because I can't keep that shit straight in my head and always make a +1 or -1 mistake that I can't find. And I haven't had it give me a bad loop in any language yet.

Nice, at the end of the day if the code does what you need it to that's a win.

Is there a place online I can use DeepThink? Or is it only available for me to run on my own machine?

https://chat.deepseek.com/ There's a little button in the bottom left of the chatbox to turn on DeepThink R1.
