Yo whatup

  • Turn down your volume?

  • Course they are. Who else could possibly think that being tolerant of Nazis is a good game plan for a social media site

  • At least Tom won't be affected. He's a genius.

  • Looking at code on somebody else's screen is entirely missing the point of using tabs over spaces. The entire point is that mine looks like how I want and theirs looks like how they want even though the file is identical. We can each have wildly different tab width and it'll look wildly different to each of us when we program. That's again the point.

    Code formatters are great! I love them. Using tabs over spaces is objectively a better formatting option. One of my favorite features in code formatters is that they'll swap out spaces to tabs for you insane people who insist on mashing the space bar to indent.

  • What's yaml have to do with anything? It's like python with syntactic whitespace which is unrelated to this discussion. The Tab vs Space debate is entirely around non syntactic whitespace which doesn't effect how the code is parsed. And yes Python technically does both tabs and spaces but it's all sorts of fucky.

    Terminal editors while still used a ton aren't really what I was referring to. Newer terminal editors such as Helix have tab width configured per language most of which default to a width of 4 spaces but toml/yaml both default to 2 spaces. I was mainly referring to GUI editors as frankly that's just what most people use nowadays. JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, Eclipse, VS Code, Notepad++ were primarily what I was thinking of as I've used all of them and they all default to a tab width of 4 hence why I said nearly universal. Also I said nearly terminal editors being the only editors I've used that don't default to a width of 4 seems like a fair usage of the term.

  • Then don't? The whole reason nearly all the spaces guys do 4 spaces is cause that's the nearly universal tab width. You won't like this but the same exact argument can be made for spaces yet I'd bet you haven't even once configured the width of those.

    I don't actually change tab width, it's the default 4 spaces equivalent for me but just because I don't take advantage of the ability doesn't mean I should prevent others from doing so.

  • Sometimes. I love auto formatting, I spam the shit out of it more than I spam save but it's definitely not perfect. It gets real confused with inconsistent indention like that. Especially with Python it'll fuckup

  • It's the new NFTs and Crypto but it's not blatantly a scam so the companies that skipped out on those sure as shit will be hoping onto AI

  • Tabs are objectively the better choice as it allows each dev individually to decide tab width in their editors. Spaces in contrast don't allow this same flexibility as they are used for much more than simply indentation, for example you likely put a space after each argument or operator IE func(arg1, arg2) or 1 + 2.

  • Saying that Facists are Facists is trivializing the holocaust? How's that work? The fact Nazis were Facists doesn't trivialize the fact that other groups are also Facists. Facists like to kill people that's kind of their whole ideology. Fascist ideology leads directly to the kind of ideas the Nazis had.

  • That sucks. USSR by definition was a fascist regime so I don't really care what they want

  • It's always as a "See!! Socialism bad!!" but yep they were literally fascist, Rushia too and yet here we are with people still thinking communist Rushia was communist.

  • I mean the big ones people like to point at (Rushia and fucking Nazi Germany) sure as shit weren't doing communism or socialism

  • You should refine your thoughts more instead of dumping a stream of consciousness on people.

    Essentially what this stream of consciousness boils down to is "Wouldn't it be neat if AI generated all the content in the game you are playing on the fly?" Would it be neat? I guess so but I find that incredibly unappealing very similar to how AI art, stories and now video is unappealing. There's no creativity involved. There's no meaning to any of it. Sentient AI could probably have creativity but what people like you who get overly excited about this stuff don't seem to understand is how fundamentally limited our AI actually is currently. LLMs are basically one of the most advanced AI things rn and yet all it does is predict text. It has no knowledge, no capacity for learning. It's very advanced auto correct.

    We've seen this kind of hype with Crypto with NFTs and with Metaverse bullshit. You should take a step back and understand what we currently have and how incredibly far away what has you excited actually is.

  • It's called "prompting" and anybody doing it deserves mockery

  • Still waiting on the programmer part. In a nutshell AI being say 90% perfect means you have 90% working code IE 10% broken code. Images and video (but not sound) is way easier cause human eyes kinda just suck. Couple of the videos they've released pass even at a pretty long glance. You only notice funny businesses once you look closer.

  • Uh yes, they do. It's the same group of people falling for this stuff over and over. Crypto, NFTs, Self Driving, AI now. What's important to them is being able to point at this stuff and make a wojack face

  • Fuck me man that's what I get for writing that just before bed

  • Lol yeah. I don't even really write C++ but I sure as shit know a bunch of syntax and junk haha
