Honestly I thought the article was going to be about that episode when I saw the headline

I was reviewing some coordinate conversion code one time and a developer’s method of creating unit tests was to run their code, generate a result, then make that output the correct result for the test. Except the result was wrong based on other utilities doing the same conversion, and also failed edge cases.

For me, it’s because I have no idea what I’m actually choosing from. The description of the burger says it has cheese, lettuce, and tomato. The picture shows pickles and mayo. The patty doesn’t even look like meat. I’m not expecting a professional menu when I go to a burger place, but I’m expecting accuracy. If there was a burger place next door that just had pics of food off a mobile phone printed on the wall, I’d choose there instead.

From what I recall talking to a photographer, the burger is all actual ingredients. They push everything to the front and angle the shot so it looks bigger than it is. That’s why you just see buns when you get yours, all the ingredients are in the center. But it’s possible to recreate the same pic with enough time and attention to detail. Lighting makes a huge difference as well.

Is the ticket $5 cheaper? Or are they just pocketing the difference?

It goes to show how actually powerful modern hardware is, and how much of it is squandered by modern software.

> Operation Raven starts with one image: a helicopter running dark over a sleeping city

Is it the image that accompanies the article? Because it’s currently blasting a searchlight onto the ground, kinda kills the stealth.

That’s why I caveated it with fully using AI. If they’re using AI as a tool within their workflow, it doesn’t fall into the same bin as the vibecoded games that are being referenced in the article.

Unfortunately reached its billing limits before I could see it (to save others the click)

There’s two kinds of people making games (fully) with AI:

- I have a passion for making games but not the skill, and this lets me achieve my dream

- I can crank out games in an hour, and as long as I get 100 purchases over its lifetime I’m making money

> He said every search was related to his federal law enforcement work and denied using the system for personal reasons.

Assuming that’s true, why wouldn’t he have his own flock account to do his searches?
