It’s been a few days since this was posted, has google killed it yet?

Ya, that’s fair. If I was doing something I didn’t care about time on, it did work. And we weren’t talking hours, it it could be many minutes though.

The situation is tragic… their attempt to hide behind their ToS on that is fucking hilarious.

It does work, but it’s not really fast. I upgraded to 96gb ddr4 from 32gb a year or so ago, and being able to play with the bigger models was fun, but it’s not something I could do anything productive with it was so slow.

Lol dude.

The text insertion is being done by LLMs now in major IDEs. It can be local or cloud based.

Keep your head in the sand if you want.

JetBrains is offering it in their IDEs as well and they are big. You’re right that it’s becoming very common now, and it is LLM based.

Friends at uni handled that problem by disallowing landscape view instead of handling it hahah

😭

Such a tragic and common ‘solution’ because it doesn’t actually solve it, it just delays it until someones minimizes the app for 30 minutes and re opens it, or one of the many many other ways that also trigger it.

I’ve had some apps that I do lock to portrait, but I would disable that flag on debug builds, since rotating the phone was the easiest way to test for some of those bugs. I didn’t worry about a good looking UI since it’d be locked in portrait, I just used it to test for bugs.

Pretty sure there was one over 100k file at one of my old workplaces. It kept growing and growing and was the most critical file in the business. Like if that file suddenly vanished, the business would be done or shut down for at least a year, maybe two kinda thing. Re-certifying the output of that file would probably take 6 months alone.

It had a partner file, also very important, but not as, which was much smaller around 20k-25k

For anyone who knows and understands Android development, process death, and saved state…

The previous dev had no understanding of any of it, and had null checks with returns or bypassing important logic littered all over the app, everywhere.

I could only assume he didn’t understand how all these things were randomly null or why it was crashing all the time so he thought oh, i’ll just put a check in.

Well, you minimize that app for a little bit, reopen it, and every screen was fucked visually and unusable, or would outright crash. It was everywhere. This was before Google introduced things like view models which helped but even then for awhile weren’t a full solution to the problem.

It was many many months of just resolving these problems and rewriting it the correct way to not have these problems.

I had some absolutely beautiful RxJava2 chains in an app I worked on once. Can definitely be abused and done poorly though.

The first time something goes wrong with that complicated setup, it probably pays for a decade half a century or more of it’s fee.

You can also use a post-install “Playbook” to rip all the adware and spyware out of Windows

Does that actually persist across forced updates? I know they’ve been known to re-install things on updates before.

I wonder how long ill be staying on my AM4 motherboard… those updated CPUs for gaming that AMD came out with might be my only option for a long time.

I went to a tech event recently and got to chat with other other tech people, and it’s been awhile since I’ve been able to do that. We nerded out talking about caching. It was great.

capitalists claim market prices are the true source of truth

Until any sizable amount decides to sell and it all falls apart because it’s actually not the source of truth lol.

AI can be such a good kiss ass, think of all the emotional suffering it’ll save existing CEOs from having to endure kissing ass of people they hate.

except their employee benefits package is guaranteed to touch companies impacted by it.

I don’t think it was a bug making the configuration change, I think there was a bug as a result of that change.

That specific combination of changes may not have been tested, or applied in production for months, and it just happened to happen today when they were needed for the first time since an update some time ago, hence the latent part.

But they do changes like that routinely.

I’ve never heard of this happening before? I’m sure it has, but first time for me.

Let’s assume for a moment that all OS are going to go this way.

Of all the modern well used OS, microsoft is the one I’d trust the least to do it.
