  • If it ain’t broken

    But it is…

    I still have (or rather had) some screen-tearing somewhere. I very much have annihilated that issue with settings in X11 (though some application somewhere still has issues, be it the video player). And it just feels clunky non the less.

    Although I’m currently not using Hyprland, it really feels nice to use, really flowy. I’m currently testing COSMIC (which is reasonably still in alpha, as I got issues with *** nvidia, like suspend sometimes hangs the computer).

    That said, I think it’s still ok to wait until the whole ecosystem is well supported in wayland, and *** nvidia finally got their wayland shit together.




  • As you’re being unkind all the time, let me be unkind as well :)

    A calculator also isn’t much help, if the person operating it fucks up. Maybe the problem in your scenario isn’t the AI.

    If you can effectively use AI for your problems, maybe they’re too repetitive, and actually just dumb boilerplate.

    I rather like to solve problems that require actual intelligence (e.g. do research, solve math problems, think about software architecture, solve problems efficiently), and don’t even want to deal with problems that require me to write a lot of repetitive code, which AI may be (and often is not) of help with.

    I have yet to see efficient generated Rust code that autovectorizes well, without a lot of allocs etc. I always get triggered by the insanely bad code-quality of the AI that just doesn’t even really understand what allocations are… Arghh I could go on…


  • Yes, I know, I tried all kinds of inputs, ways to query it, including full code-bases etc. Long story short: I’m faster just not caring about AI (at the moment). As I said somewhere else here, I have a theoretical background in this area. Though speaking of, I think I really need to try out training or refining a DeepSeek model with our code-bases, whether it helps to be a good alternative to something like the dumb Github Copilot (which I’ve also disabled, because it produces a looot of garbage that I don’t want to waste my attention with…) Maybe it’s now finally possible to use at least for completion when it knows details about the whole code-base (not just snapshots such as Github CoPilot).



  • So unreliable boilerplate generator, you need to debug?

    Right I’ve seen that it’s somewhat nice to quickly generate bash scripts etc.

    It can certainly generate quick’n dirty scripts as a starter. But code quality is often supbar (and often incorrect), which triggers my perfectionism to make it better, at which point I should’ve written it myself…

    But I agree that it can often serve well for exploration, and sometimes you learn new stuff (if you weren’t expert in it at least, and you should always validate whether it’s correct).

    But actual programming in e.g. Rust is a catastrophe with LLMs (more common languages like js work better though).
