For repetitive tasks, it can almost automatically get a first template you write by hand, and extrapolate with multiple variations.

Beyond that… not really. Anything beyond single line completion quickly devolves into either something messy, non working, or worse, working but not as intended. For extremely common cases it will work fine; but extremely common cases are either moved out in shared code, or take less time to write than to "generate" and check.

I've been using code completion/suggestion on the regular, and it had times where I was pleasantly surprised by what it produced, but even for these I had to look after it and fix some things. And while I can't quantify how often it happened, there are a lot of times where it's convincing gibberish.

Any decent person who would have been "overly optimistic" at the time would have supported epic, and just that. There was no need to go out of his way to trashtalk others like a whiny bitch, especially when at the time said "others" where the place they had a chance to make money before.

Because saying things, even if they are known, is a thing humans do for various reasons. It seems that sometimes they need to be reminded simple truth.

It's true though. Saying this is not necessarily meant to be the end of a discussion.

This is only a threat to people that took random picture at face value. Which should not have been a thing for a long while, generative AI or not.

The source of an information/picture, as well as how it was checked has been the most important part of handling online content for decades. The fact that it is now easier for some people to make edits does not change that.

It was either that or eating your head off.

Does these "companies" includes the one that were outed for just doing computation on plain old processors and claiming they had made huge breakthrough in quantum computing?

They want to sell thinner phones, but the optics needs some room to be useful, so it shows. The little range they can get with keeping that much width do a lot for image quality.

There were tons of options with multiple HTML elements with a sequence of CSS properties to reliably provide vertical centering (and also use vertical space at the same time) back in the days.

Now, between flex and grid (mainly flex for me, I find them more convenient) all the HTML scaffolding we used to make this work can be removed to get the same result. That's what I mean with "no trick".

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Well, we've been vertically centring content with no-trick pure CSS for years now, so, good I guess?

Hey, anything that's not Silver Energy is ok in my book as far as hell portals are concerned.
