PUBG is still kicking! More so in Asia, but I still play semi regularly w my friends

I keep seeing this “buy a gun” advice. Do you have any evidence that a gun will actually help? Your likelihood of dying to a gun and specifically that gun skyrocket, and there is little in the way of evidence for it being effective self defense (that I have found):

I can understand wanting to feel protected and safe, but introducing an efficient killing device into the situation may not be the safest choice.

I would guess it’s possible. I had a friend with a hacked Wii and it could run like anything. Probably easier today than it was then to sideload

edit: I’m probably wrong! See below

They also say the controller mapping is a challenge in the emulation software, but doable. It’s the wii version so I bet the aiming and whatnot is going to be wonky when using a controller or kbm vs the other releases.

I use AI as a rubber duck or to get general ideas all the time. For example, I wanted to make a “hand” of cards splayed out using css, so I asked AI and it gave me a nice starting point I could tweak without having to fuss with figuring the formula to tilt which element at which angle. It’s also quite good at guessing what boring boilerplate code I need to type next.

Another example: I was trying to figure out an architecture that adhered to OOP/SOLID principles for a specific task, and asked for an example implementation. I was able to test and think through a ton of permutations before landing on what I was taking to prod.

I think it’s a nice tool for the toolbelt, but it isn’t replacing a programmer anytime soon. You have to know what to ask and be able to intelligently analyze what it spits out to you

What HN client is this?

Many people write tests before writing code. This is common and called Test Driven Development. Having an AI bruteforce your unit tests is actually already the basis for a “programming language” that I saw on hackernews a week or so ago.

I despise most AI applications, and this is definitely one. However it’s not some foreign concept impossible in reality:

The Hacker News crowd uses this phrase every other sentence so it was almost humorous to see it used here. I thought this was a shitpost

ahh feels like home

He goes into their tech and how they do JS splitting and stuff. Looks old, but they’re using modern techniques afaik

Slightly Disappointed But Also Relieved You Don’t Type Like This Anymore Jaden

That’s true, but it devalues other labor which can be similarly/more difficult or skilled. I skimmed this article, but it seems to convey what I mean:

I understand what people mean when they say “skilled labor” and I don’t think it’s intended negatively normally fwiw

“Skilled labor” is such a bullshit concept

Why is React Native garbage?

Exactly what you think!

Trump says he’s the ‘father of IVF’ — and that he just recently learned what it is

Weird the example he gave isn’t imperative, which I think would be “Fix a null pointer dereference in …”

Confidential Dolby code was pushed, though just some headers files.

Minority Report maybe

asyncio.run(easy_peasy())

That’s fair! Takes time to get used to. Modern editors make this easier by highlighting the current indent level, or can even make the top X lines of the current closure “stick” to the top of the editor for those really long blocks.
