Digressing: The irony is that it's a language with one of the best standard libraries out there. Wanna run a http reverse proxy with TLS cross compiled for a different os? No problem!

Many times I used it only because of that despite it being a worse language.

Oh for fucks sake, how am I supposed to do my computering now. I already switched to lix after the last drama. Hopefully more people will pick aux up now.

They need debugging tools specifically designed for AI-generated solutions.

What the hell does that even mean, lmao?

Focus on AI tool literacy: Developers using AI tools daily show 88% favorability compared to 64% for weekly users. This suggests proper training and integration strategies significantly impact outcomes.

What kind of drugs are they on

Film photography is my hobby and I think that there isn't anything that would prevent from exposing a displayed image on a piece of film, except for the cost.

Depending on film it might not be easy to tell exposing an image from a real picture.

The "hybrid" digital instax cameras work this way, it's just a digital camera that has a way to internally expose the picture on the instant film.

It's trivial to do analog prints from digital images too, just requires an inkjet printer and a special film to print out the "digital negative".

The only way in which it may succeed as a deterrent is that it actually costs some money (film and processing is not cheap) and requires actual work to do those extra steps.

I fucking hate them for ruining the em dash, I liked to use it from time to time

Well, they can't fully outsource thinking to the autocomplete if they get asked whether some actions are okay.

Second observation is that when a thing gets cheaper it's used more, i.e. they'll be pushing even harded to shove it into everything.

Are they trying to imply that when they will make it cheaper by shoving it everywhere? I honestly can't see how that logic is holding together

Meanwhile in the LLM "search engine" land: https://a2mi.social/@dave0/113031300914816116

Surely it is helping to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful
