on Peer reviewing is torture now in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 13 Sep 2026
I saw this advice too, the problem with being very detailed is a question why not use a less ambiguous languages to do it?
Why not write the explanation in language like Python. Why should I write it in English when I can say the same thing in Python and it is actually easier to do for me.

Maybe I have some ridiculously high standard, but whenever I used it, I wasn’t happy with what it generated.
I noticed that the time it did it + the time for me to review it and possibly fixed was at best the same amount of time it took me to write, at worst it was longer.
For hard problems that I stumbled on it was useless.
For simple problems it worked and produced good code, but it still took less time for me to write it than waiting for Claude to finish thinking.
Everyone swears that they can produce good code with LLM and it is others who are bad, and LLM is force multiplier to them. But from what I see the only time it can speed up their work is if they never review it or even take time to understand the actual problem they are trying to solve.

I’ve seen too as I have to review it. AI produces very professionally looking bad code.
It is so weird to explain, but that’s basically what I see.
Before LLM I could immediately tell someone’s code is crap, now I have to spend a lot of time trying to understand what it does to reach the same conclusion.

We’ve looked at alternatives for obvious reasons, but we’re still on discord. All the alternatives we looked at come with some compromises. Often they lack some critical feature of discord.
I’m no discord user so unlikely I will have an answer, but if you genuinely looking for help you should list what those critical features are (I mean the fact that those services don’t have these features means they weren’t critical for the devs that created them).
Ideally you could list service that was closest to what you want and the features that it was still missing.

What IRC server are you using?
-
on Discord Is Bringing Back Age Verification for Millions of Users in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6 Sep 2026
IRC is older than World Wide Web, and unfortunately there wasn’t as much innovation over years.
It was designated for a live chat so thought of also storing history and replay it didn’t make sense then (the reasoning was that if you needed to send something that’s not live, why not use email?)
Though people come up with own adhoc solutions like for example mentioned bouncer, some networks also had memo service where you could leave a message and there were also bots storing channel’s log.
If features like these are important to you, I didn’t think you will be happy with IRC, adding them would require rearchitecting the whole thing.
You can see for example slack doing it (it is heavily influenced by IRC although it evolved so much that maybe that is less visible now)
I didn’t have a chance to play with it yet, but I heard Matrix could be the successor to IRC.
Nothing against IRC, I spent years on it and loved it, but it isn’t great if important features for you are things like chat history when you were offline, embedding pictures in chat, threads, audio/video chat etc
The things where IRC still rules is: simplicity, very low resource requirements, and no accounts need, just pick a nick and you are in (this is also why keeping history for each user is so hard to add, when servers didn’t really handle accounts.)

on [Opinion] Apple CEO Tim Cook's Legacy Is Dull Products And Spineless Capitulation in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5 Sep 2026
That’s a different thing though. It is driven by marketing people, they want each iteration look different to give people impression that they aren’t purchasing the same product every year.
Apple does that too for example each release of their phones has a bit different look.

The main thing I remember about Tim Cook was him making me realize how wealthy white cisgender gay men were hardly different from wealthy white cisgender straight men.
Same with Bessent, or maybe even worse.
They want us to flight because of color, gender, sexual orientation etc. so we don’t notice that the real war is a class war.
It’s sad that so many people still don’t see this.

I heard they are hiding behind explanation that their maps update data automatically from USGIS databases, though that is lame explanation as they can easily override it, like MapQuest did.
When he was changing name of Gulf of Mexico they didn’t have problem to make it show only four US audience.

on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement in c/games@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026
Wasn’t the original premise of DLSS to add performance and now they even falling on that?
I’m not as familiar with it, but from what I understand DLSS was switching rendering to a lower resolution then used algorithms to upscale the video to make it look as if it is high res.

All of those companies are trying to fuck us over. Purchasing from any of them right now is expressing consent.
If you want things to change show some self control or go to piracy if you really can’t.
The only company (with two exceptions) that I actually paid for games is GOG. Exactly because they don’t include DRM and also provide offline version of their games.

I think this particular one is unrelated to auto complete and more to on screen keyboard.
For example in my keyboard the backspace is next to “m” so hiring it accidentally is easy. It also is close to enter and I’m frequently hitting it instead. It is frustrating, and makes me wonder why they just didn’t put it in the top right corner as it is on normal keyboard.

on Google Has Removed Manifest V2 Extensions From the Chrome Web Store, Including uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
Honestly I didn’t recall anything where things are stuck.
Are you sure that the issue on Android isn’t caused by closing a link and the app opening Firefox in its context?
If this is such a percentage issue I’d there big open about it?
-

That sounds like maybe you have something else set as default browser and instead of Firefox and that something is messaging it up.
I use Firefox exclusively and it works everywhere.
Unless, URLCheck (highly recommended) is somehow fixing this issue. But I don’t remember having it before either.

In my area they seem to send answer alerts that link to Xitter. And you can’t see alert unless you have an account.
There’s no good reason why they shouldn’t post those details on their own site, but they won’t until people put pressure on them.

Chrome Web store doesn’t have uBlock Origin anymore it has uBlock Origin Lite, which just shares the name, but it is a different product that works with what little left chrome provides.
I think authors of uBlock Origin should never have released the lite version, it looks like it is creates a lot of confusion and keeps people using browser created by ad company.

Yeeeesss…, but typically it is easier to determine how reliable the person is from the test of the context.
Since Gemini is fed by the reason directly or might be fun exercise to ask it about yourself and while in some questions it will answer correctly or just loves to invent new things.
This works especially well if the person owning the account did not worry as much about privacy. So you hear many true things and also a lot of bullshit.

The problem with AI is that while 80% of the time it will provide correct information, but 20% of time it will generate very convincingly sounded bullshit.
This is the danger of it… You test it few times and then you start trusting it. Kind of like that farmer that destroyed his whole crop.

At the same time YouTube offers a prompt to generate more AI content.
No, this is just a stunt to claim that it is difficult to detect AI slop, when in reality they want that content as it is more addictive, especially to kids.
I think Adam Conover has a good take what they are doing: youtu.be/pauBYSQ1K_c
I will add one more reason that he missed. They might want law passed that would ban open source implementation and give them monopoly to work on it.
