You have to get familiar with the codebase at some point. When you are unfamiliar, in my experience, LLMs can provide help understanding it. Copying large portions of code you don't really understand and asking for an analysis and explanation.

Not so far ago I used it on assembly code. It would have taken ages to decipher what it was doing by myself. The AI sped up the process.

But once you are very familiar with a established project you had work a lot with, I don't even bother asking LLMs anything, as in my experience, I come up with better answers quicker.

At the end of the day we must understand that a LLM is more or less an statistical autocomplete trained on a large dataset. If your solution is not on the dataset the thing is not going to really came up with a creative solution. And the thing is not going to run a debugger on your code either, afaik.

When I use it the question I ask myself the most before bothering is "is the solution likely to be on the training dataset?" or "is it a task that can be solved as a language problem?"

I find it more useful doing large language transformations and delving into unknown patterns, languages or environments.

If I know a source head to toe, and I'm proficient with that environment, it's going to offer little help. Specially if it's a highly specialized problem.

Since SVB crash there have been firings left and right. I suspect AI is only an excuse for them.

The study was centered on bugfixing large established projects. This task is not really the one that AI helpers excel at.

Also small number of participants (16) , the participants were familiar with the code base and all tasks seems to be smaller in completion time can screw results.

Thus the divergence between studio results and many people personal experience that would experience increase of productivity because they are doing different tasks in a different scenario.

My pseudo random number generator is shit.

47

Super predictable.

I will need to raise a security ticket.

Sorry, all users of lemmy are my alt accounts. I can only pretend so many different personalities.

I would stop normalizing the theory that immigrants are here only to do badly paid jobs.

I've hear too many times "without immigrants who would work in insert miserable badly paid job?".

Immigrants are not here to do the most miserable jobs without getting properly paid for it.

I think progressive forces should stop with that discourse. I find it a little dehumanizing. If you don't want to do that shitty job I don't know why anyone would think that a person, only because they are an immigrant, want to do it for you.

Can AI do balconing?

Depends on the animal. Home raised chicken, for instance, can almost live on human lefts.

Insects also eat things that humans really do not consume, for instance.

Very high compression rate. Filesize of download can be less than half of the original in some cases.

Kerbal Space Program 2 still hurts me.

All downvotes in our own conversation do indicate a clear pattern, though.

You need to take into consideration those are small communities, post per month may not be that high, and post may not get a lot of engagement. If you are a mod of a small community I can see why you should check and worry about even little things. Size of the community and the threats they usually endure make it relevant I think.

After reading more of the OP I'm inclined to think that the mod actions were overly cautious. Probably they should step down a little. I'm a big fan of mods issuing warnings before a permanent ban (and with small communities it's possible to do without getting overwhelmed). I'm starting to think that they should just message OP stating that they have seen that they had only issue downvotes in the communities and that they will need to take actions if nothing changes in the future, or something like that. Anyway, I'm thinking that ban was not justified.

Still think that people tend to be too happy with the downvote button. It has its uses, but systematic downvoting without good reasons it's not good lemmy etiquette I think.
