Comment Re:Vibe Coding != AI Coding (Score 1) 31

I was going to comment this on another thread, but I'll just reinforce this here. As far as my definitions go:

Vibe Coding means you're interacting with the LLM completely in text and have very little or zero knowledge of the code it's actually building outside of whatever can be described or displayed in the conversation with the LLM.

LLM/AI-Assisted Coding means you're going back and forth with the LLM, sharing the responsibility for the code and its organization. One of you writes code, maybe the other refines it -- the human retains knowledge, understanding, and shared authorship of the system being built.

But, I do acknowledge that maybe some don't look at it like that. This is just how I differentiate those two terms and types of interaction.

I'm pretty sure they're saying that people that are very good at math to the point where they could have a career that uses it heavily are not often the people who decide they want to teach in middle school. The people who teach in middle school are usually people who want to teach children.

Second the Galaxy Tab lineup. I've had two of them starting with an S2 back in 2016, then an S7 in 2022. They do exactly what I want, have incredible battery life and great screens. The pen stuff can be easily disabled if you don't want to fuss with it. Especially the S7 is built in a very sturdy way.

Many people confuse freedom to express/practice religion with freedom for an institution to select/enforce/practice/whatever religion. Students have always been free to express and practice their religions in schools individually or in groups in organization, it's just that the school can't tell them which to express or practice and it can't lead that practice.

I wish I could give a nuance pill to half of the population.

Comment Re:Those are not "Podcasts" (Score 1) 106

I guess the way that I look at that is that they probably also distribute the audio of the video via traditional podcast, audio-only mediums, but there is also a video where you can see the people talking that has been edited. That said, I was previously annoyed at the same thing, but the older I get the better I realize that getting annoyed at people repurposing words is a losing battle. (See: drone, AI, et al)

If you're on Android, you can use ReVanced. It replaced Vanced and probably can't be stopped because all it stores is patches, and it doesn't distributed patched versions of APKs. The patching is done on your phone using ReVanced Manager.

Comment Re:Compliance training videos (Score 1) 88

I've actually quite often spent the time while un-skippable, un-speed-up-able videos are playing of people droning on in mandatory training courses to reverse engineer the code and find ways to skip to the next chapter such that the system thinks it was legit. Sometimes I fail and sometimes I find a way, but either way, I'm occupied until the next "check-up quiz" comes up where I can just use reasoning to figure out the answer without paying any attention to whatever the talking heads said.

Honest question about the difference between US and UK English: I know that in UK English, companies are plural, so it's, "Microsoft are releasing a new ..." But you wrote, "The Daily Mail are losing [its] shit [...]" Is that correct? I would've expected, "The Daily Mail are losing their shit(s)," or something like that.
