Inertia?

For repetitive tasks, it can almost automatically get a first template you write by hand, and extrapolate with multiple variations.

Beyond that… not really. Anything beyond single line completion quickly devolves into either something messy, non working, or worse, working but not as intended. For extremely common cases it will work fine; but extremely common cases are either moved out in shared code, or take less time to write than to “generate” and check.

I’ve been using code completion/suggestion on the regular, and it had times where I was pleasantly surprised by what it produced, but even for these I had to look after it and fix some things. And while I can’t quantify how often it happened, there are a lot of times where it’s convincing gibberish.

There were tons of options with multiple HTML elements with a sequence of CSS properties to reliably provide vertical centering (and also use vertical space at the same time) back in the days.

Now, between flex and grid (mainly flex for me, I find them more convenient) all the HTML scaffolding we used to make this work can be removed to get the same result. That’s what I mean with “no trick”.

Well, we’ve been vertically centring content with no-trick pure CSS for years now, so, good I guess?

(most) films and video games requires a bit of engagement from you.

Some people decided that they needed a buzzword for something that have absolutely nothing to do with the web, and they decided to use Web3.

Anything “web3” you can think of is a regular webservice, that have no technological difference with “web2” (whatever this was), and may or may not behind the scene communicate with some form of blockchain (which may or may not be a real one too).

That’s web3. And note that I didn’t even bother to go check what happens on the blockchain side, that is already so removed from the web it’s insulting people calls this web3.

Your first mistake was thinking the company training their models care. They’re actively lobbying for the right to say “fuck copyright when it benefits us!”.

Your second mistake is assuming training LLM blindly put everything in. There’s human filters, then there’s automated filters, then there’s the LLM itself that blur things out. I can’t tell about the last one, but the first two will easily strip such easy noise, the same way search engines very quickly became immune to random keyword spam two decades ago.

Note that I didn’t even care to see if it was useful in any way to add these little extra blurb, legally speaking. I doubt it would help, though. Service ToS and other regulatory body have probably more weight than that.

I would not do anything, claiming that I’m preventing myself from making the world a worst place.

Haha joking. I’ll start auditing open source project for free and improve the overall security of our whole infrastructure.

I’d say for two reasons. First, laws are written by a bunch of old people (at least in the head) that love the stuff. Second, full prohibition does not work anyway.

There is no world where these tools exists and Nintendo does not know them. It’s not some deep darknet secret lore hidden behind seven-VPN. Anything that happens online about emulation, all the company knows it exists and how it works. The threat never goes away.

No, see, god is omniscient, omnipotent, and petty, so we have to do their biding in fear of their wrath. But also incapable of keeping people in line, so we have to act in their name.

One of them (the Portal demake) used Nintendo’s proprietary code/libraries without permission, prompting a request to take it down, the TF thing ripped off Valve’s assets without permission and redistributed them, which got a DMCA. If you see this and think “Valve is out taking down everything they can like Nintendo” you really missed something.

Those were already handled by dedicated people in most places.

I’ve heard there’s also electron in there. Software developers will stop at nothing!

Don’t worry, their competitor product, that would be chosen over them anyway because of the price, will also rot your body and teeth all nice.

Or stop promoting a system where the only way forward is always “more”, designed to leave a majority in the dust. Inflation is artificial, people getting more miserable by just not wanting to abide to that system is also artificial.

This is the main point : the breach of the trust we could have in state agencies and doctors. Hopefully the lesson stick this time.

Given what transpires about the US on the international news scene, I’m not sure putting that to a democratic vote would yield the result you expect, sadly.

Nobody in his sect is paying attention. The rest of the world is looking at this with anxiety.

they are just trying to get every dime out of this and make it a seasonal booster

They’re not trying anything; that’s what viruses do when they are not eradicated.
