  • I mean I’m not a fan of Ai but that kinda makes sense to prevent expensive loops. An example being I know Google gemini has(and has had for several versions) a bug where it can get stuck repeatedly reading a file. I saw a video from a YouTuber which got stuck in this loop, it cost him 183 dollars in 40 minutes. What if he started it and then went home on a Friday evening? I just did a quick calculation based on it running 5pm Friday till 9am Monday and it would cost $17, 568 setting a limit to prevent this type of issue makes sense. Fun fact, by random chance there’s exactly 96 intervals of 40 minutes over that time frame.





  • Bigger question…why would anyone care? Atleast Monica was an adult, yeah you could probably make a case for work place harassment but that’s about it.

    And before anyone says he was impeached for it, no. He was asked by congress if he had sexual relations with Monica. He said no. Evidence was revealed he had atleast a blow job, based on the stain on her blue dress. He was impeached for lying to congress and won basically by claiming a blow job wasn’t “sexual relations”.








  • I hate when they remake classic games as a totally different genre. Imagine if they did that in other media… “We are making a new breakfast club movie… It will be a space opera!”… “everyone loved hit me baby one more time by Britney Spears, we are remaking it as a mumble rap”… “the taming of the shrew by William Shakespeare was successful, what if we made as an animated TV show like Rick and morty?”

    I’m all for remaking starcraft but keep it as an rts with updated graphics and modern features.




  • In my experience code review is often about the logic rather than the code itself. For example do you really need to copy the whole user object just to read their username? Can’t you just pass the username in as a string instead? Static validation and test suites should already of eliminated any code errors. If you show up to a code review and the code doesn’t compile, you’re going to have a bad time. Stuff like calculating the same distance between two objects multiple times should be called out in code review, maybe extract that into a function. Reaching out to a database to get the same value repeatedly should be called out, maybe store it as a local variable.

    One time I was reviewing some code which interfaces with an external third party piece of hardware which the api required the serial number for licensing. The programmer hard coded the serial number into the code. If we swapped it due to hardware malfunction we would need to update the software. If we got a second one we would need to maintain two code bases. This should be in a configuration file or something. Ai will not catch that. Static testing won’t catch this. Test suites running on the piece of hardware we had, wouldn’t catch this. Only a human reviewer would.
