Oh, I was talking about GitHub copilot that’s in visual studio.
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 3 days ago:
I’m usually just very targeted in what I ask it to do. I keep it to things I know will be in the basic reference books or on stack overflow. It basically just saves me from having to look up and apply existing examples to my code.
It makes for a pretty good ORM.

Generally it’s hidden, but there are a number of caveats as JRaccoon says.
It’d be good to know which instances proxy images and which don’t. It’d also be nice if some of this was controlled by your client if using an app.
It’s also fairly easy to end up on another instance. And any articles you click on will take you to a domain that collects your IP.
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 3 days ago:
Copilot isn’t bad, but generally I agree.
It’s a tool that can be helpful, or you can just create problems for yourself down the road.
It’s a lot like building a house. After all the drywall is up, it’s hard to tell if the studs are 18 inches apart or five feet apart, but you’re gonna find out eventually.

You guys agree and it’s just the word “subsidy” he has an issue with because subsidies have the connotation of helping actual people.

We’re gonna need this “requires Internet connection” bit to be in reviews.

Ignorance, fear, or are you just following the kid’s trend of anti-ai, pushback against corporate desperation?
- Comment on I built a self-hosted period tracker because I couldn't find one worth using 2 weeks ago:
It’s not realistic to expect no AI assistance in coding in 2026.
It’s also not a stand-in for a human. There’s a huge field of gray where it’s unclear how much of it was fully vibe coded vs how much is carefully hand reviewed and/or written.
I’ve been a professional developer for decades and I’ve done both. Obviously I’ve hand coded stuff for many years. The fully vibe coded stuff is personal, to test and learn the capabilities of the tech. My professional stuff I watch much more closely, and I’m much more targeted in what I’m having the AI do.
That said, if I were gonna use this I’d actually review the code. I’m not recommending this guy’s stuff, but you can’t rule it out on the basis of ai assistance alone.

Omnissa is a registered trademark of VMWare. They’ll be around to collect royalties shortly.
- Comment on The Pentagon’s Claude Use in Iran Is a Reminder that Anthropic Never Objected to Military Use 2 weeks ago:
It’s not a very solid point. They said they may become necessary at some point, but right now they’re irresponsible.
They’re not ruling it out in the future, but their focus is on today’s problem.
- Comment on The Pentagon’s Claude Use in Iran Is a Reminder that Anthropic Never Objected to Military Use 2 weeks ago:
I mean, yeah. They’re the only ones trying to hold out some reasonable constraints.

You buy 5 bitcoins for $450 each in 2016. It’s what you can afford. You sell them for $10,000 each in 2018, timing it decently just before a bigger drop.
Congrats on your $48k.

It’s a teen drama mostly aimed at teens, but with a sex scene.

Watch episode 6, skip the rest.

It’s perfectly logical. The Sun is loud as shit. Or it would be if there was air to transmit the sound.

People still play this one. mud.arctic.org
Though I didn’t mean it has to necessarily be text-based. More that that ancestral path was more interesting than the WoW one. This is what EverQuest was born from.
One of the bigger differences is that not everything was questing. You just explored, and part of your motivation to level up was the ability to explore places that were previously inaccessible.

Here’s a free one for you.
Discard pretty much anything learned from or after World of Warcraft. That game warped the genre for decades, largely for the worse.
Go back to MUDs. Iterate from there.

“find an actual progressive” aka 3rd party
lol no. You don’t get to strawman and then be a rude piece of shit about it.
- Comment on Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC 4 weeks ago:
Subservience to the FCC and the administration is the excuse. The real reason is that David Ellison is afraid the dem might win.
The majority owner of CBS is Paramount Global, which itself is controlled by Skydance Media, a company led by David Ellison (son of Larry Ellison), following a significant acquisition of the Redstone family’s stake in mid-2025.

Either that or it’s exactly what it says on the tin. I wonder which is more likely.

Thank you. I was just thinking that someone needs to grab this, and it was going to be a pita if I had to be the one to do it.
(More copies are always welcome.)

And it’s a hell of a brave thing Colbert and crew are doing in speaking out.
They’re patriots at a time when speech isn’t free.

I mean, I generally agree with you, but like most things this isn’t black and white. It’s a nuanced thing that needs to be handled with care. I get it; Large movements are terrible at nuance.
While we’re two years out from the start of the campaign, we can certainly encourage the Dems to find an actual progressive.
Hillary was better than Newsom. It’s funny that California Dems are blasted as the most liberal, when they might be the most conservative Dems outside of West Virginia.
Yes, anything is better than fascism. That point was more important 18 months ago, and might be more important again 12 months from now.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 4 weeks ago:
On the other hand, this is a fine time for this conversation. We do have roughly a year to find a candidate that’s not fucking Newsom just because he could meme for a minute.
I don’t mind a few memes in our politics, but I do want there to be some kind of substance under the memes. And not the substance Magats have found under theirs, 💩.
