- No one is chatting at the moment.

We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.
-
-
Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
-
But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.

SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back

I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering -
jonas:
will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?

I am doing my first Vibe Coding project. In installed the environment and tools according to instructions but it is all chat doing this for me at my direction. It is fun really and holy shit I might finish in 2 hours what it would have taken a day to in my Access and this would be an electron app complete new

Man the AI is good about gaslighting about security though. I've had several times where I pointed out security problems and it tried to convince me that with a tiny tweak it suddenly becomes secure
-
jonas:
Like using a distrobox as a "secure" container, and when I point out that's not secure at all, it claimed that specifying home will make it secure

Yeah I finished the app today and it is bad ass. Like ChatGPT codes way better and faster than me that is for sure. The app is unsecure AF though and I would never put it anywhere it was obvious. I did not even show it today, the boss never made it in, but I showed the office and they liked it and frankly, I do software for a living and I am qualified to judge this kind of stuff and... Holy Shit this is a game changer. It took me around 4 hours to finish the app from design to end and that is much faster than I could have done it in the outdated MS Access the thing it replaced was in. Good Stuff! Had tons of fun doing it too! Work has not been fun in a while - today was fun!+1

The Helper:
And really, I did not do it, chat wrote all the code I just pasted it in, tested it, acted like Chats eyes on it and just learned. I learned VS Code, how to use the Terminal and a bunch of Powershell and Command stuff, I used Git for the first time and learned how to save, search, start my server, stop it, run the tests, do some debugging - all the freaking fun stuff - chat wrote all the code+1

The Helper:
I think the key was the 40 minutes of that 4 hours that went into the design of it. The thing was fully specced out before we started and the only reason it took so long was I had never done any of it and had to get used to the navigation and workflow.+1

The Helper:
React, JS and AG Grid are the tools that I know i used along with git. I learned alot but it will be a minute before I fully understand everything I am doing in these environments because I am really just following instructions.+1

jonas:
I think people who aren't logged in can't even see this chat, so your message letting them know they won't be able to register is also hidden xP

jonas:
but yeah on LLM they're pretty capable now, I used opencode to build a custom agent for some tasks I face, and the custom agent ended up doing better than either opencode or specialized tools that have been developed for 20 years by humans
-
jonas:
at the same time it is so stupid and making insanely dumb mistakes, I had to stop it several times from doing really dumb things that would work for just a few cases but would be totally broken for more serious workloads, or sometimes were always broken (like just drop some responses from the LLM, then continue with some fake message) but would not trigger immediate problems
-
jonas:
I had to babysit it a lot, I'm not sure if in the near future better models will come around at a similar price point. If the price increases by more than 10x, it will be cheaper for me to do it myself again
