I use ai tools for embedded code generation regularly. They are getting noticeably better by the month. The tools that wrap the ai direct it better and the reasoning systems really work out pretty complicated systems quite well now. One still needs to know how to architect stuff, and be aware to redirect it when it goes off the rails, but there’s absolutely no doubt that it speeds up coding and can do a good job.

They are terrible now, but they will get better and better. The code will be at least AI-assist generated regardless.

Do they really? And do you care? I mean I understand if they tell you it’s based on Unity or what other framework systems, because that would dictate a certain look and feel area, but the programming language?

But why should it matter at all? They don’t list whether the game was written in c++ or c# because it makes no difference. What matters is the game play. If it’s good, it’s good.

Ok. I admit I’m not really into the scene and so I’m talking generically. But I see my daughter watch hours of YouTube of other people playing new games and commenting (rather moronically) on them. Seems like a pretty it should be pretty easy to see if the game is worth your money before you buy.

Check out demos, read reviews. If it’s good it’s good, if it’s bad it’s bad. What does it matter how it was made?

Only a small amount of the powder gets removed by brushing. It mostly functions by absorbing the grease and staying on the hair. And adding perfume. Which works, so it’s great and all. Proof that it doesn’t take all the grease away is that you can’t just keep applying dry shampoo, eventually it gets really nasty.
I don’t understand the ablist part. I’ve used the stuff on my daughters occasionally just because typical chaos mornings made it really useful. But I had to explain to them how they still needed to wash their hair regularly. Same would go for someone who has difficulty washing their hair for reasons other than running out of time.
Use whatever tools work for you. But the marketing of the product is quite misleading - but effective as can be seen by people thinking it actually removes a significant amount of grease from the hair. - Comment on Dry Shampoo is the teenage girl equivalent to teenage boys' Axe Body Spray 1 week ago:
Where do you think that comment is wrong?
- Comment on UK wind farms generate a record 22.7 GW of power on a single day 2 weeks ago:
New tech is almost always more expensive as it is being developed. It becomes more efficient over time as it scales up and as improvements are figured out. You only see the new tech becoming available at the retail level once it’s cost has come down to around the same as that of existing solutions (unless there are non-market forces, like governmental policy at play). So the new stuff comes in at the same price, but then has the potential to get cheaper to produce. Of course, unlesss there is an abundance of supply, the retail user won’t see a cost reduction (unless there are non-market forces, like governmental policy at play) because the business using the new tech will charge what the market will bear to maximize profits. And the market cost is already established with the old tech.

- Comment on YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, diplomats, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 2 weeks ago:
Interesting take. But there is some truth to the notion of ‘human nature’. Humans do act certain ways; we retract from pain, we attempt to solve problems and communicate. Whether it is ‘human nature’ that dictatorship power corrupts people can only be inferred by the examples we have seen. If you can show that a dictatorship didn’t lead to abuse of power in some significant number of cases, then it would be proven false. But there’s the problem - and it’s more of a logical one - no system can make everyone happy and so from at least some perspectives, any political system will be seen as corrupt by some. So we can never have a dictatorship that isn’t considered corrupt. Just like we can’t have a democracy / capitalist society that isn’t considered corrupt by some. All we can do is look at observed general patterns and try to extrapolate. And there aren’t enough examples to do a really convincing statistical analysis. So far it seems that humans in power always abuse that power, so it’s reasonable to conclude that that is a natural human tendency, like continuing to breath when able.

- Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds 1 month ago:
Fair. But most of these cars have voice controls that are even safer than using an array of buttons. I’ve never felt unsafe in my wife’s Tesla except when they once moved the defrost control early on. But that was when I started using the voice controls and never look back (haha - unintentional play on words there). My Kia won’t even let you use the touch screen to type in an address while it’s in drive - however it’s voice control for navigation is terrible. But it allows car play and Siri is plenty adequate for voice control with navigation.

Touchscreens are infinitely reconfigurable. And the solution is cheaper. Some like the cleaner look when avoiding all the buttons and knobs.
- Comment on The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy. 1 month ago:
At this point not telling people to stay home from voting isn’t good enough. It’s great to discuss different views. But especially when heaping criticism, you must balance that with warranted criticism of opposing political sides. Making a point about the democrat’s failure to stop the abuses by Israel needs to be alongside the context of the republican’s stated goals to flatten Gaza and turn the area into a trump casino. Otherwise you are damaging the democrats relative reputation and so promoting worse outcomes for the people of Gaza by helping the GOP. If you can help with the bigger picture while also helping with specific causes, that’s great.
