Spellforce 1

Tap for spoilerThe evil mage, who we hunt the whole game, just escapes from the hero character during the cutscene through the time portal that sends him back, where he understands what he have done, becomes the white mage and summons the hero character (as the game does at the beginning).

Might sound like an interesting plot but I was really annoyed the game ended up without giving me the ability to slap the bastard.

I just say "sorry". I mean, inventing reasons don't do any of us any favors. They know I will not give anything after I say sorry. Does it matter to them, why?

TBH despite I don't like this specific idea, nor use Firefox directly, I do like the usage of local inference vs sending your data to thirdparty to do AI.

They just needed to do it OPT IN, not OPT OUT.

That you, personally, think you are seeing this is great, works for you.

We have a POC group and everyone I've spoken that tried the tool reports productivity boost. So it's either that everyone is under impression they've boosted their productivity, while they didn't, or everyone actually did boost their productivity. And I find the later to be more likely, because there is no reason for these people to lie.

Uh, idk how they got that number. It goes against the observations of literally everyone in the industry, so maybe it's not the industry that is biased, but the benchmark they did is incorrect?

Like just several sprints before I've saved my team by generating proto contracts taking backend repo as a context, as backend was busy with other higher important things to unblock us. No AI here means we would be blocked full stop for the entire sprint. And when backend did generate the contract, it was almost identical, and the diff in contracts allowed to identify the issue in the entities they send.

True, some tasks can be done faster without AI, because you have the context and the amount of code volume is actually fairly low.

But

while the "high developer familiarity with [the] repositories" aided their very human coding efficiency in these tasks.

My brother in Christ, in big enterprise project chances that you have some familiarity with the code, well, they are non-zero, but also not that high.

19% drop in what?

This whole USA diplomacy is fucking whack. Lots of confusion on what, why, where.

First, after Witkoff dialog in russia, Trump told European partners that there would be exchange Kherson/Zaporizhzhya (russia moves out) to Donetsk/Luhansk (Ukraine moves out).

Then next day Witkoff says russia is not planning to retreat from anywhere.

Next day, EU leaders demanded a call with Witkoff, where he confirmed the deal is "Ukraine moves out of Donetsk in exchange to ceasefire".

Fucking clowns.

Wonder what did they put in the system prompt.

Like there is a technique where instead of saying "You are professional software dev" you say "You are shitty at code but you try your best" or something.

Yuck. Well then again we sit in Lemmy, and the lead dev is a proud tankiest tankie. Open source do be like that.

Then do care to look for? There are PRs, there is a dev that approves changes. It's stupid to resist agentic AIs when they boost productivity by a lot.

Well yeah I can agree here, USA is a fucked up country. I'm not from it. They aren't good example of neither capitalism, nor democracy (two parties on a country of the size of EU lol).

This "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" rhetoric clearly doesn't work for people in capitalist developing countries.

Why? I am from capitalist developing county, from rather poor (but sane) family. Those, who try, find the options.

USSR went from literal feudalism to competing in the space race

USSR was the fucking feudalism. My grandma didn't have her passport till 80s. Without it she wasn't allowed to move from the region, while forced to work at kolgosp.

USSR took the already wealthy state, with factories and all, and brought it into chaos, murdering people for the ideals of the revolution. And before you say "well they were killing wealthy capitalists so it's OK", ...they even murdered anarchists, also lefties.

Then they disarmed people. Then they did the literal fucking genocide of Holodomor, stockpiling food that was rotting in the hangars trying to sell it to the West while the people had nothing to eat, and they were executing them for "stealing food".

But hey, free housing. They were also offering poets free apartments. The catch? The whole building was wiretaped. Half of the residents were 3-letter agencies that monitored all contacts inside the building. And while they were doing genocide, they were forcing local poets to write stuff to glorify the regime, and tortured/sent to camps ones who didn't bend.

And yeah lol space race. Aka guide to lose your empire without any war. Even USA wasn't ready to this turn of events. The fuckers tried to save USSR from collapse.

All in all, nothing did as much damage to my people as the fucking commies. And nazies tried their best.
