The amount of reference material it has is also a big influence. I’ve had to pick up PLC programming a while ago (codesys/structured text, which is kinda based on pascal). While chatgpt understands the syntax it has absolutely no clue about libraries and platform limitations so it keeps hallucinating those based on popular ones in other languages.

Still a great tool to have it fill out things like I/O mappings and the sorts. Just need to give it some examples to work with first.

Playtests typically involves a full on NDA for this reason. If your playtest is aimed at creators that are allowed to stream it’s not a playtest, it’s a marketing exercise.

That hit my timeline the other day. The amount of work that has been put into that video must have been insane.

There’s actually an HAI video on that. Those names were actually a direct result of an attempt by Amazon to curate their products better. https://youtu.be/_Bq-6GeRhys?si=ih1eyBLJwo7KAVuS

I have a 4gbit line, and while I usually use Usenet to download a lot of torrents still easily reach 2-3gbit up/down.

I’m working in live video and there’s a lot of proprietary codecs out there that vlc doesn’t play by default. Most of those are lossless/very high bitrate lossy formats designed to be encoded and decoded quickly for things like instant replays, so not something the average consumer would get their hands on.

I actually started going to the gym a few weeks ago not having done proper physical exercise in the last 13 years. A large portion of the random pains and cartilage grinding are just straight up gone already.

Was gonna say, before the Dutch did that stunt with time dependent speed limits the ‘unlimited’ sign just meant 130kph. At the border would be a sign explaining this and that’s that.

I definitely rely on documentation more than copilot, since I’ve noticed that the code it writes is only ever as good as your own codebase.

Most of the stuff I code is API wrappers to get arbitrary data into a format our broadcast graphics system can understand. Once all the data structures are properly defined copilot is extremely useful in populating all the API endpoints.

The actual problem solving is getting the data in the first place and morphing it into the correct format.

I’m very much a novice coder, but I often find myself doing the opposite. Write a good comment and let copilot write the actual code.

Some of that blame is on Amazon as well, they send out emails to people that bought the thing being like “someone asked X about the product you ordered, do you know the answer?”.
