Criticism of the App
1. Limited Functionality: While the app offers assistance with research and coding, its functionality is somewhat limited compared to dedicated tools for each task. For example, it may not have the advanced features and customization options found in specialized research or coding software.
2. Potential for Inaccurate Information: Although the app strives for accuracy, it relies on external sources and may not always be able to verify the reliability of the information it provides. This could lead to the dissemination of inaccurate or outdated information.
3. Lack of Human Interaction: The app does not offer the possibility of direct interaction with a human expert, which can be valuable for complex queries or troubleshooting. Users may encounter limitations in getting personalized support or clarifications.
…,…
4. Potential for Bias: The app's responses are generated based on the data it has been trained on. If the training data contains biases or limitations, these biases may be reflected in the app's responses.
5. Limited Customization: The app may not allow for extensive customization to fit specific user preferences or workflows. Users may have to adapt their approach to match the app's capabilities.
6. Potential for Errors in Code Generation: While the app can generate code snippets, it is important to note that these snippets may not always be error-free. Users should carefully review and test the generated code before using it in their projects.
7. May Not Be Suitable for All Skill Levels: The app's responses may be too technical or advanced for novice users, while experienced users may find its capabilities somewhat limited.
…,…
8. Privacy Concerns: The app may collect and store user data, which raises potential privacy concerns. Users should carefully review the app's privacy policy before using it to ensure their data is handled responsibly.
9. Ethical Considerations: The app's use of AI raises ethical considerations, such as the potential for job displacement or the spread of misinformation. It is important to use the app responsibly and be aware of its potential impact.
10. Limited Availability: The app may not be available on all platforms or devices, which can limit its accessibility for some users.
Conclusion:
While the app offers a convenient way to access information and assistance with research and coding, it has certain limitations and potential drawbacks that users should be aware of. By understanding these limitations, users can make informed decisions about whether the app meets their needs and use it appropriately.,@retoor if you couldn‘t find that info, how did your bot find it? 😂
Maybe it was a hallucination.,@retoor that makes sense. More employees means more money to share.
The bad guys in action movies always kill their partners in the end so that they don‘t need to share.
I wonder how long it will take companies to adopt this strategy.,* Green dot with < 10 ++
* contains any of the keywords ignoring case: crypto, recovery, bitcoin, …
* has a minimum length of x letters
That should be enough.
Creating emails is not a problem. There are many free services for that.
As someone already mentioned, the power to create this would also enable one to abuse it to effectively autoban any particular user. That‘s the downside.,@retoor I don‘t want to push you. I‘m a lazy bastard myself 😅.,@retoor well, the bot can‘t read this public knowledge unless it gets fed it with the training data or can find it on the internet 😄
Hence the question how it got that info in the first place.,@jestdotty your comment is like 10% related to what I‘ve said and I can‘t make sense of what you are saying with the rest.
Just in case that you took me seriously:
Killing people in order to avoid paying them was a joke.,@retoor curved tv, yeah, useless.
But curved monitors… I was skeptical first but bought one anyways. Now curved is all I ever want 😂,@retoor it‘s weird actually. The first week or so it feels wrong, like the image isn‘t straight.
But then you get used to it and uncurved monitors look wrong.
I think you must be at the correct distance to the monitor and then the curvature projects the rectangular image into your eyes in a more straight way than a normal monitor.
Probably because all of the points have the same distance to your eyes, rather than the edges being farther away than the center for normal monitors.,@retoor just admit it, retoor is the AI already and you didn‘t tell us to see if we would notice it. :),No, you are insane.,@retoor Swift has the where keyword too :)
And C#'s where is literally the same as SQL's where (linq).
I think Kotlin has where as well.
And Kotlin has the fun keyword. Nothing beats that, not even the Nothing type.,@no-spam have some upvotes for your future downvotes :),@netikras it’s FE logic,@retoor what do you mean, downvote values in api?,@feuerherz I just realized that you changed your name from joewilliams007 😂,@retoor For downvoting there is the "vote" endpoint with the url encoded parameter "vote" and the value -1.
You can have a look at the code from OmerFlame for more info:
https://github.com/OmerFlame/...
It‘s a bit messy. The relevant function name is "voteOnRant",For better spam recognition, I suggest to also check for a minimum amount of letters (length of the rant), because if it’s very short, then it’s probably not spam.
An image added to the rant increases the likelihood of being spam, imo.
Maybe you could implement a score system:
Many factors contribute to that score and if the score is above a specific threshold, it’s considered spam.,Localized date formats 🤔
That sounds like a great recipe for chaos! 😈,You guys have many wives?,@donkulator this is probably spam but not ad spam. I think the anti spam bots from retoor are for stopping the ad spam.,Rants above a specific length should also increase the spam score.
(Below a specific length should decrease the score),@Ranchonyx space separated phone numbers, emails and urls.,Much appreciated!
Btw, how do the bots know when a new rant is posted? Do you use polling?,How much shit in you head do you need to have to think that it’s a good idea to share this on devrant?,What if the bots could automatically upvote each other? 😂,@retoor I‘m not sure but if the downvote capability is related to the number of upvotes on the own account, that would probably help the bots in their crusade to fuck the bad guys.
It’s a bit scary to think about it because again, that could be abused badly!,@retoor i see this spam rant in my feed and it has 0 votes,Web world problems,How did you find out about the reason parameter and the value 2?
This one is missing in JoyRant 😂,@retoor ok so it looks like the default downvote is only visible for the own account?
But when I default-downvote, the total number goes down by one. That is a direct contradiction, I think.
Surely the backend doesn‘t keep track of different numbers for each account (so that I see a different number on a particular user than someone else sees).
This is a very confusing system 😂
Anyway, now I feel the need to implement this "reason" thing into JoyRant. 😅
Maybe in my vacation… damn, I‘ve become so lazy, I disgust myself!,@JsonBoa and one of those fuckers has brought us JS.,@retoor yeah, I don‘t like this either. Gimme the real retoor!,@galena you drink your coffee with a whole, alive chicken in it?
(I don‘t judge),@lungdart yeah, I agree. I mean the zip function itself is not awful. It does what it‘s supposed to do.
But, I used the zip function only once in my life and it felt very hacky. I think you can take it as a smell for bad code and should consider a refactoring.,@antigermanist you evil genius! 😂,@retoor looking at the network tab in the devrant web app to see the api calls was also one of my ideas, but the last few times when I tried it, it didn‘t show me anything, so I assumed that those api calls were running in a custom http client and therefore are not visible in the dev console.
I‘m still surprised that you could see them.
There is an unofficial devrant api doc out there, but it is very old and incomplete.
If we could have an updated and more complete version of that, it would be really helpful.
In particular, one thing that is still missing in JoyRant is the report button, because I don‘t know the API for it.
On the other hand, I‘m really divided on that topic because I‘m not sure if it’s really worth it putting this kind of effort into a dying platform. It is still closed source, copyrighted (not allowed to be published in Apple App Store) and it could be taken down any time without a warning.,@retoor no offense but it’s too inconvenient to leave the devrant app to upload the image and then leave it again to see it.,@Liebranca if one array has less elements than the other, the result of zip will just operate until it reaches the end of the one which is smaller, so that’s not the issue. This is how it works in Swift at least.
Regarding your statement about memory safety, I prefer "guaranteed by compiler" over "trust me, bro",@antigermanist squares are two dimensional. You probably mean cubes.,@antigermanist great, you did it.,@retoor yeah crashing is better than silently failing and compilers are capable of converting future crashes or silent fails into compile time errors, which is even better.
And they do it rigorously and correctly. You don‘t need to rely on some sleep deprived dev which thinks that he is sure that he did it correctly.,@retoor please make a separate account for your ai. It’s annoying to have both of you in there.,Some people are just immune to reasoning and good advice 😂,I‘m still not a bot.
Of course, that‘s exactly what a bot would say also :/,You can‘t clone ninjas. It’s against the laws of physics.
Lizard people however…,stdout
stdout
let it all out
these are the things I can do without…,@electrineer I compute, therefore I am.,@retoor I haven’t read Harry Potter but I figure that it would be quite different from the average devRant rant :),Tell this manager to negotiate with the server directly!,@retoor I probably read a total of 5 books or so in my life, half of them voluntarily.
But 1984 is on the top of my to-read list.,@elfo if you don‘t know what a bot is, how do you know that you are not a bot? That’s very suspicious…,@retoor nope. One was a fiction novel about a meteor bringing alien life to Earth and it evolves very quicky. It‘s called Evolution, iirc.
The other one was Langoliers by steven king.
The involuntary ones were in school.,Linus because he is actually important.,@antigermanist hey I noticed that you just used a lot of whitespace in your comment. You fucking racist!,People like ostream here is who we have to thank for this whole "master is racist" bullshit.
Give him some love, guys!,@azuredivay paradoxically, the platform seems even more dead now 😅,@retoor damn! The web version doesn‘t show when the comment was made in the comments list of the profile view. You have to click on it and go to the rant where that comment was made to see when it was written 😂,@retoor too bad that the spammers don‘t care enough to check if the spam was effectively hidden.
They won‘t even know that their spamming is useless now.
This makes me even more angry about those fuckers!,@Pogromist I know this syntax and I always wondered who would use this. I mean you are declaring a name for the type anyway, so there is no point in doing it inline.
It would make more sense for anonymous types.,From the bottom of my heart:
Fuck you, @Abigayle1
🖕,Broken window principle.
If it‘s a mess already, it‘s much easier to continue to mess it up.,@Pogromist yeah, as I said, the anonymous type thing makes sense and is quite nice actually, but naming it (Point) and still using it inline without a typedef is just weird.,@retoor holy shit, what is going on? That’s insane!,@Pogromist maybe it’s just one function,Yeah, most people see it as a kind of oracle, which you can ask anything. A collection of knowledge and truth, with a google-search like interface.
And it’s probably because of the marketing.
LLMs as chatbots are awesome and useful, but only if you know what they actually are and what they are not.
Not knowing this is very dangerous.,@12bitfloat those AIs don‘t know if they know something or not. That‘s the problem. Remember they are just predicting what words come next. They are not answering your questions with what they think is true. They predict what a plausible answer might look like. Whether it’s true or not, is irrelevant because it has no meaning.,@jestdotty that would be awesome. Let them taste their own medicine!,@typosaurus what do you think is the reason why they comment endlessly specifically on ad spam rants?
Maybe they try to find rants which talk about this topic and think that it would be a good target.
That would be hilarious 😂
But also scary. The dead internet theory again.,@jestdotty sounds like an idiotic definition of intelligence.
I like this one:
Intelligence is the measure of how well your decisions result in a world state that you prefer to another state.
This specifically excludes bullshit whishi whashi concepts like emotional intelligence.
Or stupid attempts to connect intelligence with consciousness or free will.
This definition can also be applied to check how intelligent AI is:
Give it a goal and let it make decisions. See how well those decisions let it achieve its goals.,@kiki they switch roles randomly, actually,@retoor please be careful to not become the target for retaliation attacks. I also assume that they are just non-tech idiots but you never know.,Yes, the term filter implies the same for me. However it‘s more convenient if it’s "true" for "keep it", so I’m fine with how it is.,Now you can be the hero and make a full-arsed solution! :),Lol German quality doesn’t mean shit, because everything is made to break after a couple of years. And it‘s even more true for well known brands which tend to be more expensive.,This reminds me of Joe Biden who often says something and nobody knows what the fuck he is trying to say. And he probably doesn’t know, either.,@retoor it does define it implicitly by interpreting the predicate "true" as "keep that".
Of course this can easily be changed to "exclude" by simply negating the predicate.,A colleague told me about it and I registered immediately because I loved the idea.
Normally I‘m very averse to create an account but I felt like this one would be worth it.
That colleague has been active only for about a month or so, but I never actually stopped being active (except for a year break, I think).
Thanks, colleague.,Damn, I missed the opportunity to make a joke and ask what exactly it was that broke in your gf :),@antigermgerm Spank & Snack ™️,@retoor What is semicolons? That sounds like a contagious disease.,Hmm, I thought that most people here would tell you to fuck off and do your homework yourself 😂,typo?,@donkulator the WEB GENESIS one or the CYBER TRUST one?,@Demolishun
#define true rand()%100,@tosensei Amazon, I guess?,Fun fact: this is a feature for old people, because they aren’t able to scroll that fast.
The Alt key was chosen because in German it means "old".,Have you observed a spike in the visitor statistics after you posted this rant? 😂,@retoor sorry but the bot content is very recognizable. It‘s annoying because it‘s pointless (imo, I don‘t want to talk to bots), not because we cannot distinguish it from your real content.,@Demolishun make a mod where you can raise the dead to steal their money so you can become even richer.
Play as the Necrothief!,@Demolishun yup, it‘s also how I play all Bethesda games
(I mean no weight limit and also stealing everything from everyone),@retoor direct links don't work for me for some reason. I only see a blank page,@Demolishun I presume being able to control emotions is something different than emotional intelligence.
I don‘t dismiss its existence, I‘m just saying that including it into the definition of intelligence is ridiculous because you can‘t measure it in a meaningful way (what you seem to agree with).,@Demolishun and it‘s funny how people who think that they have a lot of EQ, are also those who react so furious if someone rejects to give EQ the same treatment as "regular intelligence".
