You just described 90% of coding

I received counterfeit goods multiple times due to this. I set up a subscribe and save order and they would let random retailers fill the order with fake products. Amazon collected the money and just did not care, they need to be held accountable for these things.

mIRC scripting is what got me into programming. The summer I found it as a kid I was immediately hooked, being able to write code that actually interacted with the world and did something blew my mind. I was so into the 'war channels' where everyone would kick each other and optimization was key.

Getting the dockerfile order right is critical due to how docker caching works.

Even if you aren't an expert it is trivial these days to copy/paste it into chatGPT and ask it to optimize or suggest improvements to the dockerfile, it will then explain it to you.

Just as the engine replaced physical strength, artificial intelligence, through models like large language models, is now replacing cognitive labor and thought.

From the article "Muscles grow by lifting weights" yet we do that now as a hobby and not as a critical job. I'm not sure I want to live in a world where thinking is a gym like activity, however if you go back 200 years it would probably be difficult to explain the situation today to someone living in a world where most people are doing physical labor or using animals to do it.

Age is also a factor. From stories I've seen in the news it tends to be much older women. From stories I've heard from friends it is young men.

Great idea! It is cool seeing how you took this concept and made it real, end to end. I'm also considering getting a flipbook.

At what point do we stop calling them graphics cards?

With LLM generated code (and any code really) the interface between components becomes much more important. It needs to be clearly defined so that it can be tested and avoid implicit features that could go away if it were re-generated.

Only when you know for sure the problem can't be coming through from that component can you stop thinking about it and reduce the cognitive load.

I love seeing fun little projects like this

Commander Keen was my childhood and then later mIRC scripts were my life. My mind was blown by being able to program something that could interact with real people like mIRC. My love for coding started there.

I always have a tab open with merrysky. I really like the extra detail they show in the graph of wind/temp/precipitation and the break down of the day.

For Seattle area in particular most weather apps will show the entire week as cloudy and rainy, but there is a lot more to it and merrysky is able to surface that.

Replacing even a small amount of your gaming time with consistent exercise goes so far.

Once you realize that you can actually achieve anything you set your mind to just by making a routine you will find yourself wanting to shift the time and effort going into games into real world success.

I got adjustable dumbbells last year and it was the most impactful change of the year for me. It is amazing how far regular exercise goes.
