reasonably well

hmm not in my experience, if you don’t care about code-quality you can quickly prototype slop, and see if it generally works, but maintainable code? I always fall back to manual coding, and often my code is like 30% of the length of what AI generates, more readable, efficient etc.

If you constrain it a lot, it might work reasonably, but then I often think, that instead of writing a multi-paragraph prompt, just writing the code might’ve been more effective (long-term that is).

plan it correctly and the actual implementation of the correct plan will take no time at all.

That’s why I don’t think AI really helps that much, because you still have to think and understand (at least if you value your product/code), and that’s what takes the most time, not typing etc.

it‘s just different.

Yeah it makes you dumber, because you’re tempted to not think into the problem, and reviewing code is less effective in understanding what is going on within code (IME, although I think especially nowadays it’s a valuable skill to be able to review quickly and effectively).

Unfortunately it’s a general theme in Open Source. I lost almost all motivation for programming in my free-time because of all these AI-slop(-PRs). It’s kinda sad, how that Art (among others) is flooded with slop…

It’s not correct according to this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bondi-epstein-files-system-collapse/

So seemingly fake news.

And feet. Athlete’s foot is a thing, wearing the same kind of shoes all the time doesn’t help with moisture.

Edit: just read the last three words… Well at least now there’s an explanation why it’s bad for feet.

Yes, and blending in between, including RGB, can enhance the quality of light as well to estimate a natural light source.

There’s various metrics, like CQS, CRI or newer versions of it.

It’s basically about how close the wavelength spectrum is compared to a black-body radiator given a color temperature (e.g. an incandescent lamp or the sun).

Though IME, the light quality of a real white LED is better than the mix of an RGB led. Also interesting: the cooler the LED is the higher the quality of the light.

No it’s not entirely clearly defined. But a few elements appear in all of them: Anti- communism/socialism, dictator, far-right idiologies, nationalism…

I wouldn’t say any if these are desired by leftism, or rather opposites.

Honest opinion, I don’t think they would ever be the bad guys, only a dead or non-existent Nazi is a good Nazi.

But I guess the unfortunate thing is that ICE would group together and an actual civil war starts (in which ICE likely has the upper hand, as it gets funded by the government and Nazis are more likely to have firearms I guess), which is probably exactly what the Trump Administration wants, I don’t know it’s a pretty bad situation there…

I’m using a Kaffeelogic Nano 7 sample roaster, which is quite simple to use and produces consistent results. I actually think almost all of my roasts were at least as good as high quality roasts I get locally.

That’s an absolute shame, because there’s tons and tons of cool coffee shops absolutely all over the place doing really cool, interesting, imaginative, and downright tasty things with coffee that you’re missing out on.

Maybe not around here (it’s not the biggest city though), I think I tasted every worthwhile coffee in the city so far. Some are ok, but nothing that really stands out. It’s also more meant figuratively (though there’s still some truth… after habituation on good coffee, previously ok-coffee is now bad… so I got really picky over the time of my coffee-nerd-career)

Starbucks coffee isn’t really intended to be enjoyed straight, it’s supposed to be made into milk drinks where the dairy, syrups, and toppings provide most of the flavor, and for that use case, it’s adequate.

Yeah it’s americans perversion of coffee. It’s more like soft-drinks with coffee-taste or something like that…

burnt toxic shit Starbucks sells as “coffee”

Yeah they roast way too dark, probably to hide the cheap coffee they use and possibly because their extraction is shit.

I can’t drink coffee anywhere else anymore, since I’m roasting myself, and perfected extraction with a Cafelat Robot (low pressure, which I think works better with lighter roasts).
