I have never tried seriously coding with AI. I just ask ChatGPT for snippets that I can verify, to save a few round trips to Google and API docs.

However the other day I gave ChatGPT a relatively simple assignment, and it kept ignoring the rules. Every time I corrected it, it broke a different rule. I was asking it for gender-neutral names, but it kept giving last names like Orlov (which becomes Orlova), or first names that are purely masculine.

Is it the same with vibe coding?

Has been my experience as well, never used ChatGPT for anything but as an interface to external documentations and understanding unfamiliar syntax.

Tried using it for the first time for vibe coding and was quite disappointed with the overall result, felt like a college student hastily copy pasting code from different sources for a project due tomorrow.

Maybe I just gave bad prompts…

Back in 2019, I submitted a GSOC proposal for Apertus. They wanted to add frame serving capability [1] to their RAW image processing software OpenCine [2]. Even though my proposal was rejected, I ended up learning a lot from their coding challenge [3] which was mandatory for submitting a proposal.

Reading research papers to understand Demosaicing [4], learning C++ coding guidelines, RAW file format, code reviews and feedback from Andrej and others at Apertus was really fun. At the time I was still a sophomore at college so I asked and made a ton of mistakes. Thanks Andrej [5] and team for being patient with so many of us! :)

My 2 cents is that evolution of combat is good actually, up to a point. Because the apm and tick rate are limited, getting good after a certain point means memorizing an exact rotation, learning keyboard shortcuts, memorizing the boss mechanics to know when to switch to a shield and res or whatever. Point being it’s not really fun. After a while any minor mistake on a challenging boss screws you up really bad.

EOC has no place in Runescape which has a global tick system. Ability usage feels sluggish compared to other games.

> 9000 people who make products that suck should do something else with their lives.

So you not liking some products isn't just grounds for you not using a product, isn't just grounds for telling other people not to use the product, it's grounds for everyone working at the company that makes that product, related to it or not, to be fired.

That's one hell of a leap from your opinion to ideas about what's best for the world.

I can no longer tell the difference between most HN and Reddit comments. Shallow, hateful and opinionated.

Hmm I feel like the best way to "game" these interviews is just to learn solutions to the top 100 leetcode questions and then act as if you're figuring it out on the spot. That's what I started doing in preparation for a Facebook interview but I think that's not actually going to happen in the end anyway due to the hiring freeze and also the ridiculous H1B situation.

Recently gave an interview where they asked me to open my Leetcode profile, and checked if there are any prior submissions to the asked questions. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I switched from ansi-term to vterm (https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm) and its performance is much better (specially when dealing with large bursts of output).
