  • I did see someone write a post about Chat Oriented Programming, to me that appeared successful, but not without cost and extra care. Original Link, Discussion Thread

    Successful in that it wrote code faster and its output stuck to conventions better than the author would. But they had to watch it like a hawk and with the discipline of a senior developer putting full attention over a junior, stop and swear at it every time it ignored the rules that they give at the beginning of each session, terminate the session when it starts doing a autocompactification routine that wastes your money and makes Claude forget everything. And you try to dump what it has completed each time. One of the costs seem to be the sanity of the developer, so I really question if it’s a sustainable way of doing things from both the model side and from developers. To be actually successful you need to know what you’re doing otherwise it’s easy to fall in a trap like the CTO, trusting the AI’s assertions that everything is hunky-dory.





  • I watched it yesterday and only a couple things I have to add.

    First is that the bipartisan CHIPS act basically shovelled taxpayer money into Micron’s pockets to increase their manufacturing, but they are reducing their consumer output anyway, so Steve’s point is consumers are not getting anything out of the subsidy they made.

    Second is, since any potential increase in production is to cater to their largest data centre customers only, Steve is suggesting that this could be part of a push to move people to subscription-based cloud computing by making personal computing tha you buy and own unaffordable.



  • Edit: I think there are better answers downthread than mine, but I hope my first comment spurned them on.

    Not the most experienced bash guru at it but let me see…

    • does the while condition have to be within [ ] brackets?
    • Also I can’t figure out what your condition is, it seems to have an unclosed quotation mark.
    • Most bash while-do-done loops I’ve made have a comparator like -ne for not equal or -le for less or equal to. So for example: while [ $variable -ne 5 ]; do











  • This is one area of many where I think Manitoba’s Kinew led provincial NDP shines, his inclusion of the rights of French language Manitobans along with the rights of Indigenous.

    The language itself I think is not a big deal, Carney fumbled through French 101 again in a matter of months to become Prime Minister. But I do think if the NDP wants to make inroads with Québec’s Bloc and Liberal voters they need to be more in touch with Québec culture.

    I think the federal NDP still has more work to do in self-reflection. I hope they make use of this opportunity. Even if you don’t like BC’s NDP, hopefully you can appreciate that Eby is listening to genuine internal criticism from unions and labour activists, BCFN and environmental supporters within his party during the review.
