I recently needed to implement some batch processing logic in our code to account for some api level restrictions (the code already pulls from the api in pages and date ranges, but if I specify a date range too wide or a batch that would get too many records back, it gets rejected, so we need to break it down and run the date range in batches). I tell this junior developer what the issue is, and what we need to add to the existing class in our codebase. I follow up with him after a week, and this is what he sends me.

Boilerplate code from chatgpt that has almost nothing to do with what we discussed. And how can you even give me a whole ‘working’ code without even testing it? He didn’t even clone our original repo and test it as is to understand why we need what we need. AI sure is making programmers dumb.

Yeah I used deepstack before, and it had a lot better detection times, but recently BI switched to using CodeProjectAI as the supported ai, so I moved over to that. It’s not as performant as Deepstack. Maybe I should try going back to deepstack even if it’s not officially supported.

I bought that desktop exactly for that reason. The video recording itself seems to work fine, but the ai model seems to be struggling sometimes, and even when it works, it takes about half a second or more to make a classification. That’s what I want to improve with the gpu. I’m reading up on openvio, and it seems impressive, but only on frigate. Do you have any experience with Frigate vs Blue iris? What are your thoughts?

It’s running windows 10. The software code project ai supports gpus with cuda support, which I assume are Nvidia cards. I’m using it currently only for blue iris to monitor my security cameras. Blue iris uses code project ai for object detections like human, animals, etc. It has been running okay for a couple of years without GPU, but I think adding a GPU would definitely improve performance and speed.

Can I Google myself in your office?

When I interviewed junior devs for my team, I had zero theoretical questions, and only two coding questions which were basically code that had to be debugged, and once it was running, for them to implement some minor things that I asked them to implement. I said I don’t mind if they googled, I only wanted them to share their screens while they worked, so that I can see how they worked and how they googled/adapted the answers to their code. I interviewed over a dozen people ranging from freshers to 4 yoe, and you should see how terrible they were at googling. Out of all them, only one fresher came close to being good in the interview. Even ‘4 yoe’ devs who ‘spearheaded’ various projects sucked at basic python and googling.

Good luck with that. Nintendo just sued GRUMBOSS for $2.4M and shut the project down.

And then it suddenly works because I built a russian roulette using the random function

Complaining about reddit is part of the process. Let them do the same thing you did when you first migrated over.

Thanks for the suggestion. I use windscribe as a vpn. Do I use tailscale instead of windscribe, or are they two different things?

Thank you. How does it compare to a raspberry pi, or a mini pc at home? Is the draw that it’s available 24x7 and on the internet?

ELI5 what a VPS is?

The power of Sun, in the palm of my leaf!

You need to confirm each month that you’re still using that url if you’re in free tier. Otherwise it won’t be registered to you

I used duckdns for my jellyfin server, but after a week or so I started getting malicious site warnings from Firefox, and had to ‘accept the risk and continue’ every time. Ended up going back to noip. It’s a pain to renew every month, but I haven’t had any other problems with it.

Why don’t they ever accidentally delete loan records?

This will always be funny. Does anyone know what the original is?

It kind of makes sense for strawpoll, because without some sort of cookies, they wouldn’t know if the same person is voting multiple times. But they should say something like ‘incognito mode makes the votes inaccurate, please visit on normal mode’

For me it’s because all these companies hate Linux for some reason. I have Amazon prime, Hulu, HBO max, and Apple TV, but they would only show sd if I’m on Linux.
