  • AI doesn’t do feelings

    How can I have a serious conversation with these annoying answers? Come on, you know what I am talking about. Even an AI chatbot would know what I mean.

    Any AI chatbot, even “general purpose” ones will read your code and will return a description of what it does if you ask it.

    And particularly AI would be great at catching “useless”, “weird” or unexplainable code in a repository. Maybe not with the current levels of context. But that’s what I want to know, if these tools (or anything similar) exist yet.

    Thank you.




  • I don’t care if the solution is AI based or not, indeed.

    I guess I thought it like that because AI is quite fit for the task of understanding what might be the purpose of code in a few seconds/minutes without you having to review it. I don’t know how some non-AI tool could be better for such task.

    Edit: so many people against the idea. Have you guys used GitHub Copilot? It understands the context of your repo to help you write the next thing… Right? Well, what if you apply the same idea to simply review for malicious/unexpected behaviour on third party repos? Doesn’t seem too weird for me.

    I just got to know about Delta Chat which sounds fantastic as it basically uses your email but wrapped as chat.

    XMPP and Matrix are other good options too, although these require creating an account (Delta Chat can work with your normal email account).

    The good thing about these last 2 is that they have calls and all that stuff.






  • If you were getting bald (which you might not) you’d have 2 options:

    • hair transplant (if needed) and medication for the rest of your life.
    • shave/trim and move on

    I’m generally for team 2. I’d hate medicating (which from internet opinion has various long-lasting unwanted side effects) for the rest of my life for such stupid thing.

    I must confess, I have the benefit that I don’t look that bad. Also, being fit becomes much more required when bald, 😅, you have to compensate your older look; and side effects from exercise are virtually all positive. So I’ll take it.
