Just recently tried T3.chat, I'm blown away at first glance just how much faster it feels over chatgpt

Bluey is just all-around a good show--I've watched some with my nieces/nephews 🙃

Don't get me wrong, AI generated code is cool and can be useful, but to entirely use these tools without understanding any of the code being created is ripe for security vulnerabilities, bugs, performance issues, and scalability problems.

Vibe coding is akin to racing a car at 120 MPH by providing directions to the driver, who has only ever seen videos of cars being driven before.

My new Framework 16 laptop is here--time to assemble and get Linux installed!

Ooh thanks for the share, this does look really cool!

Not yet having done day 10--this is amazing out of context 😆

I'm pretty sure recursion is the right call here. Yes I'm still mad about it 😆

James Ebert @jamesebert.dev · 09/12/2024

Finally caught up on AoC again, Day6 threw a wrench in my progress for a minute there 😅

I just completed "Resonant Collinearity" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/8 Enjoyed this one a decent amount tbh

James Ebert @jamesebert.dev · 08/12/2024

FWIW as someone who also really struggled on Day6 Pt 2, I found Day 7 to be refreshingly easy (I don't like it at all, but it wasn't that hard IMO). So maybe that can be hope inducing? 🤷‍♂️

James Ebert @jamesebert.dev · 08/12/2024

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7 Surprisingly easy! I still hate revocation though... 😆

James Ebert @jamesebert.dev · 08/12/2024

I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode And oh boy did I struggle with this one! This ended up being a really good reminder to take breaks (as often the answer will come, it just needs a lil time) and to regularly reevaluate the target I'm building towards

James Ebert @jamesebert.dev · 06/12/2024

I just completed "Print Queue" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/5 I honestly really struggled with this one. I'd be interested in seeing other people's solutions or any writeups on their approaches, so I can learn something from this particular puzzle

Same, it took like 1/10 the time to solve pt 2 vs pt 1

Yeah that's a mood--my brain just about imploded trying to do the diagonals for some reason 😆

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4 Oh boy, I struggled with this one for some reason. Those diagonals man 😬

Also if you didn't know about it already, regexr.com is an amazing site for working with regexes, makes its 2000% better

I just completed "Mull It Over" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/3 Regexs are fun--the pre enabled aspect in part two definitely threw me for a loop for a half a second.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

I lean towards using the DID directly as it's the source of truth for that user, rather than having that mapping that could cause additional issues down the road 🤷‍♂️

no, but there are a bunch of other solutions that could just be prioritised - like 'new accounts can't DM me', 'users without verified emails can't post', etc. etc. even more innovative stuff like reverse social proofs (blocked by X of my friends...) - and that would require giving up a lot less

Ahh I suppose that could work! Hmm.. gonna have to think on that for a bit..

That's a really interesting idea--any thoughts on the backup/sync and usage on mobile problems w/that approach? 🤔

Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2 Lol I'm a bit behind because I decided to create a CLI tool specifically for AoC -- been fun to mess with, even if it's essentially entirely useless 😆

adventofcode.com

Yeah that's a very fair approach--especially given the so-far friendly nature on bsky

Ahhh that makes sense, thank you! I was going to do so anyways, but understanding the reasoning behind the rule helps me. "Also the creator asked real nice" <- got a good laugh from me 😆

Golden @infinityspork.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

You could consider creating a feed specifically for independent journalists that way it doesn't pollute your main bsky feed but you still can access that as wanted/desired? Food for thought 🤷‍♂️

Do we know why this is a thing? I can't really think of a reason this is a requirement ya know?

James Ebert @jamesebert.dev · 02/12/2024

I am definitely not opposed, but doesn't it just lead to a lot of effort doing bot whackamole by encouraging bot creators to spread out likes, etc? It seems like a difficult problem that doesn't have perfect solutions, so maybe whackamole is a good approach. 🤷‍♂️
