Ah yes, putting a Nazi in charge of the most powerful military in the world while starting a global trade war is somehow good for the world.

Ok guy.

The dipshit swing voters don't pay attention to anything but their wallet, and all they knew was that prices were lower in 2019 than in 2024. That's as far as their ability to think about the president goes. 90% of swing voters don't give a shit about anything else.

It was infuriating listening to NPR interview undecided voters and their response would be "wHaT's KaMaLa GoNnA dO fOr Us?" Stupid greedy motherfuckers will get what's coming to them.

Bet commenting this would get you a ban on reddit these days.

Lol, that's ridiculous. At least here they aren't requiring us to do that (yet).

In my case, this is modular js code. Copilot doesn't know how to test the internals of the module so it just calls them directly, which would cause an exception because the function would be undefined.

I end up rewriting the test myself whenever it does this because there's no reason to export those functions, it would just cause problems. Typically all this requires is changing the test inputs so the internal logic is covered by the test. It's just too dumb to know that, because it doesn't actually understand the code at all.

I asked the same question in our meeting about it. They apparently have metrics tracking as part of their contract for copilot. But they also want to see demos etc. Basically forcing us to do busy work and increase stress so the execs can justify blowing money and political capital on AI.

Yeah mine is demanding that we prove that we're using copilot to generate code.

I wouldn't care so much if copilot wasn't a hot pile of garbage. It's incredibly slow, constantly fails halfway through generating a file, can only handle updating or creating one file at a time, and the code it comes up with always needs manual correction to actually work.

I mainly use it to generate unit tests and it frequently makes shit up that clearly won't work. Like directly invoking non-exported functions that I deliberately choose not to export, because they don't need to be exported.

90% of the time it actually takes me longer to use copilot. The only thing it's good is autocomplete.

The Kamala speedrun? Did she deport thousands of people to El Salvador?

Tech execs have absolutely massive egos.

Oh cool, more mass surveillance tech.

They're already doing that. Unless they do something about outsourcing this is a meaningless policy.

Anyone who's been arrested here knows what a bunch of bullshit that is. The psychopath American people created a legal system that's as harsh and dehumanizing as they could possibly make it under the constitution, and now it's going to get worse.

The cop car seats are made out of hard plastic, and there are no seat belts. They literally want you to fucking die on the way to jail. It happens in a regular basis, and no one cares because this country is full of vengeful sociopaths. They don't care if you're innocent or guilty. They don't care what you were charged with (for me it was smoking weed). And that's just the beginning.

The American people have made it plainly obvious for decades that the constitution is just a piece of paper that gets in the way of their bloodlust and cruelty.

Anyone who's surprised by America veering into fascism has only known this country from a coddled point of view. The current dictatorship is a wet dream for a lot of Americans, and they aren't going to change their minds until he destroys the country, and even then they'll probably celebrate it.
