It's not very good at it though, if you've ever used it to code. It automates and eases a lot of mundane tasks, but still requires a LOT of supervision and domain knowledge to not have it go off the rails or hallucinate code that's either full of bugs or will never work. It's not a "prompt and forget" thing, not by a long shot. It's just an easier way to steal code it picked up from Stackoverflow and GitHub.

Me as a human will know to check how much data is going into a fixed size buffer somewhere and break out of the code if it exceeds it. The LLM will have no qualms about putting buffer overflow vulnerabilities all over your shit because it doesn't care, it only wants to fulfill the prompt and get something to work.

C++ because I use it for embedded systems, interfaces with and can easily use C code (opening up the ability to use 40+ years of libraries and already written code), and I'm 43 years old and don't feel like learning an entirely new programming paradigm (I like OOP it makes the most sense to me).

I like being able to drill down and manage all my own resources like memory, etc. when I need to as well. I'll use raw pointers with higher level abstractions all day depending on what's convenient.

Say goodbye to human spaceflight for an entire generation. We made a huge mistake hitching everything onto this fucker's stuff.

I've been waiting for us to leave LEO since I was a kid in the 80s and it now looks like I might be dying without ever having witnessed even a moon landing. I envy my parents.

Unless China or India or Russia pull something off. They're all we have after this.

Are you proud of being this way or some shit? Does being a jaded dick to others online make you happy? Give you fulfillment? Pathetic.

Oh look it's the butane blasted bullshit my local dispensaries put into their "complementary" and "giveaway" prerolls after they make their wax.

You don't need a trial for a crime that never happened though. Thoughts are not crimes.

Killing someone who acknowledges their urges are fucked up, tries to get help, and has never sexually abused anyone is also disgusting. And fuck you too if you're about to call me a pedo or a pedo applogist for having that belief. I stand by innocent until proven guilty.

What, you think Taco Bell party packs are for the whole party?

It's not healthy to repress part of who you are or what you enjoy and hide it from everybody (yes, some, like your boss and coworkers maybe, but not all). It's nice to have a couple IRL people with shared interests or who don't mind.

 

Bye bye stack was nice knowing you.

 
 

In 2005, NASA had a program that allowed you to enter your name to be placed on a CD-ROM that was to be put on the New Horizons probe to Pluto. I was able to look mine up and still see the certificate.
