OK, last few. This was an insane amount of work. Especially since it's graded A-- on most categories regarding quality, consistency, and structure. AI considers the code 84% human written - that's how far it is from slop. Reality: we still miss around 30 pictures.

Coool, four people tried out the quizzes: https://devplace.net/quizzes

Do not be scared, some are hard, but some are very simple. It is max ten questions for most quizzes.

Update soon: show right answer if the user is wrong. Making a mistake is ok, but not learning of it, is where I draw the line.

@blindxfish i made your game of Thrones quiz and nailed 90%. https://devplace.net/quizzes/63b4d69a1017-game-of-thrones-test-your-knowledge#comment-019f9e97-6e7e-7130-a30d-4367962018d5

But you did not do it yourself? And did you let Devii first do deep research before making the quiz? Anyway, it was a good quiz.

Arsonists in Italy Used Live Cats as Kindling to Start Forest Fires

Italian authorities have launched an investigation after arsonists in southern Italy used live cats as "living kindling" to start devastating forest fires.

The method is as brutal as it is effective. Cats were found with rags soaked in flammable liquid tied to their tails. The rags were set alight ...

White Traffic Lights Are Coming - Here is How They Work

A new traffic light has appeared on the streets of Rome - and it is white.

The white signal is not a replacement for red, amber, or green. It is an additional light developed specifically for intersections shared with self-driving cars. When the white light illuminates, autonomous vehicles take ove...

Every good idea was done a long time ago by people smarter than us. See how long that old Internet keeps scaling. Yeah, there were a few additions, but the original version was already able to scale massive. And now we're all typing on Google "how to scale" and go for AWS. We've made a long terrible way.

2
retoor retoor

Wow, you're right, this is not a good idea at all.
Also, the art of autonomous vehicles is that they understand our signals.
If we would customise the infrastructure, what would be the fun of that.
If that was an option, the complete autonomous vehicle would be radically different (and better maybe).
Maybe, because you can't chip pedestrians or whatever or have different sensors for it.
I just realise infrared.

Yup. This doesn't seem like a good idea to me, also. Looking forward to tomorrow's news about some accident related to that.

I agree to this. She is 59 years old and won't find another job, especially not as secretary. And it was for a NEW boss.

Looks like the employer had been malicious towards her. That aside, !liking someone is !a reason to fire them.

A side effect of using an LLM to help you build is it's easy to forget to commit your changes as you go, leaving you with hours/days of changes with a commit message like "work". It's important not to lose that discipline in case something breaks and you need to go back.

retoor retoor

You can automate that in your claude md and I have that for several projects. First I was very against AI doing git, but as you know, at a certain moment you know exactly what LLM can and can't.

But good for mentioning, I will automate this for devplace as well.

1
cuddlyogre cuddlyogre

Part of my problem is I didn't expect to use the LLM as much as I did. Small tweaks turned into giant features the more I trusted it and I just forgot to commit between changes. I'm getting back in the habit, but now the project's history is forever a mess.

1
retoor retoor

Yeah, happens much with LLM development. It requires full-time management and taking maintenance into account when doing stuff. This is my first quite big project that is developed for so long using an LLM. Since it's public-facing and open source, I'm extra motivated to do well.

But indeed, it starts with a little bit fix here and there, then you gain trust and it goes: prrrrr, failure, prrrrr, prrrr, prrrrr - success, hopefully.

But when an LLM did implement something bad, it has a hard time to recover from it because it always autocompletes. I had something weird in the chat function of this site, and whatever I did, it kept giving bad result - while a chat is not so hard to make for that thing.

I'm wondering if I should buy the Continuous Delivery upgrade in the farming game, or leave it. Does it even make sense when you are using a bot that plants automatically, anyways? Will there be more mastery upgrades in the (near) future? ๐Ÿ‘€

Also, the biggest crops are many times not the best. It fluctuates. Your bot should choose the crops based on data. You don't realise it yet - but I got you guys almost made daytrading bots for alpaca markets. I'm doing you guys a favor.

I was on the bicycle.

I mean don't do it because it is impossible to change crop then. It's a bit buggy feature. There should be half minute delay so user or bot has time.

For me, the breaking of the 'ADB via Ethernet' would suck. It's kind of a nice feature when, while mirroring the device, I can connect to it via reliable Ethernet, instead of the Wi-Fi.
Hmm... also, it seems like the Desktop Mode would suffer from this, as well.
