Independently of what your position to vibe-coding or LLMs are: Vibe coding just isn’t any programming paradigm. A programming paradigm describes the structure of the program, often on a grammatical (programming language) level (e.g. declarative vs imperative). While “Vibe Coding” can lead to using one or the other paradigm, but is not a paradigm itself, it’s a tool to achieve that, similar as using an IDE with code-completion to generate code.

As audiophile as I am (own very expensive (> 1k) headphones for instance) and additionally I’m musician/producer.

I don’t think you can hear the difference between 320kbit bitrate vs flac in a blindtest (this is important, to avoid biasing yourself). I could notice what was a 128kbit mp3 and flac in a blindtest and already that was minimal (and is likely mostly related to the 16k cut-off of 128kbit mp3), but 320kbit, nope…

If you notice a difference it likely has to do with different mastering/LUFS etc. not the compression artifacts themself.

Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).

I’m really keen to see when this happens to Tesla, I’m thinking about shorting the stock, it’s so vastly overvalued, and there’s strong competition and sales are crashing everywhere (because of too much Nazi)

My brother did this accidentally… twice… Don’t ask me how you manage to do this twice…

TBF there are ways to completely disable updates in Windows (I just did in my VM because it should literally only run 3 programs which are not working with wine)

I’ll use it also often. But when the situation is complex and needs a lot of context/knowledge of the codebase (which at least for me is often the case) it seems to be still worse/slower than just coding it yourself (it doesn’t grasp details). Though I like how quick I can come up with quick and dirty scripts (in Rust for the Lulz and speed/power).

Ughh I tried the gemini model and I’m not too happy with the code it came up with, there’s a lot of intrinsities and concepts that the model doesn’t grasp enough IMO. That said I’ll reevaluate this continuously converting large chunks of code often works ok…

Not sure about the communities you’re visiting, the subreddits I seldom visit (because enshitification) have rather smart people.

Basically, the industry is not investing in new blood.

Yeah I think it makes sense out of an economic motivation. Often the code-quality of a junior is worse than that of an AI, and a senior has to review either, so they could just directly prompt the junior task into the AI.

The experience and skill to quickly grasp code and intention (and having a good initial idea where it should be going architecturally) is what is asked, which is obviously something that seniors are good at.

It’s kinda sad that our profession/art is slowly dying out because juniors are slowly replaced by AI.

but it can be a very helpful assistant.

can, but usually when stuff gets slightly more complex, being a fast typewriter is usually more efficient and results in better code.

I guess it really depends on the aspiration for code-quality, complexity (yes it’s good at generating boilerplate). If I don’t care about a one-time use script that is quickly written in a prompt I’ll use it.

Working on a big codebase, I don’t even get the idea to ask an AI, you just can’t feed enough context to the AI that it’s really able to generate meaningful code…

modular factory-like automated meal production line, not AI.

Define AI… LLMs are just a part of that.

It’s definitely better than say a year ago, but it’s always a new small issue. Like suspend is not working, or shutting the monitor off crashes the graphics stack etc.

I really hope they get their shit together and build a solid wayland support at some (not too distant) time. But the amount of issues is small enough for me that I’ve switched to it.

Probably should’ve been “installing and using nvidia drivers”.

Additionally use Kawase-Blur with a lot of blurring, and this is a non-issue.

it will work for 99,9% without any flaw

Unfortunately not anymore.

And it doesn’t help, that Mozilla is also slowly turning towards enshittification… (since they fired all servo devs…)

Right, but you can also create accounts on different instances, so not really protected. Actually I think it’s very difficult to really filter bots when they’re done right, especially in times where LLMs start to be increasingly more popular.

Yeah though I think it’s a little bit too political at times. I get it, Trump and Musk is destroying the USA from within, but I don’t need to read about it in every second post…

My fear is that, if lemmy gets too successful, that regarding bots the same fate may occur.

Yeah destruction is done quickly, reputation and generally constructive policies (especially internationally) takes time.

What the US/Trump-Administration is doing, is just dumb (even for themselves). Europe almost has to slowly(?) cut ties with them, with what they’re currently doing. And I do think “cutting ties with the US” increasingly gets more popular for a reason… Let’s just hope that the same fate won’t come over europe and that the current success of right-wing parties in europe is temporary…

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.
