Programming@programming.dev•Separate community for AI coding?English
3·6 days agoI still have my reservations, but I’ve changed my mind about “vibe coding”.
Juniors vibe coding? Awful idea. It stunts learning. Non-programmers vibe coding? Aside from small scripts, anything exposed to the internet is a dangerous thing.
Experienced programmers who already know what they’re doing? Code assistants can be a bliss for tired fingers and wrists.

Ask Science@lemmy.world•How close are we to infinite power? Being able to cheaply in our everyday lives? Or are we trying anymore?English
1·6 days agoYeah, “infinite power” is waaaaaay too much power. Unless OP refers free, uninterrupted power that covers any necessity humanity will ever need, without damaging the environment. This is infinitily less power than infinite power.
I believe this can happen, though not in my lifetime.

3·6 days agoShit, I wonder if something similar will happen with AI.
“Remember the time when running AI required at the very least a very powerful computer running one or more GPUs at 100% capacity? Or entire datacenters costing millions of dollars per month? Crazy, right? Today you just tap your watch with a local AGI, using a couple of CR-2032 batteries that last 6 months, and you can ask it to create a multi-week vacation plan around the Caribbean in mere seconds.”

1·7 days agoNice strawman. Nobody talks about the “European Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen” either, so what’s your point?
Or Newfoundland.
“Top” and “Bottom”.

2·7 days agoYou probably know this, but aside from that, Claude has “plan mode”. When writing, hit “Shift+Tab” a few times until you select it. Claude won’t immediately start coding when you give it instructions.
Also, ask him about the "superpowers* and “ask questions” skills. Game changers too.

2·7 days agoIt’s a weird way to phrase it. I actually have dual citizenship. I say “I’m X and Y” not “I’m X or Y”.
By the way, you’re technically correct when saying "American or European " because you come from the Americas (the continent). But if you’re referring to the United States of America nationality, then you’d have to say the other country’s nationality as well.
But back to the main point, let’s say that you’re about to become French. You’d say "I’m American and French. Or “French-Americam” or “American-French”. “I’m French or American” sounds weird.

5·8 days agoDo you tell Claude to make a plan first?
That helps me tremendously. Whenever something needs to be modified, I tell it to update the plan first, and to stick to the plan.
That way, Claude doesn’t rewrite code that has already been implemented as part of the plan.
And understanding the plan helps understanding the code.
Sometimes if I know there will be a lot of code produced, I’ll tell it to add a quick comment on every piece it adds or modifies with a reference to the step in the plan it refers to. Makes code reviewing much more pleasant and easier to follow. And the bugs and hallucinations stick out more too.

What are you implying? That there will be a catastrophic galactic collision?
Because that’s not happening. Look it up.
