  • The tooling around AI should be to improve the quality of the programmer. Not to write the code for the programmer.

    For example if you ask an agent how to scale things well, and best practices in architecture, it will have a lot of resources on it. But that does not mean the code it will produce when you ask it to write a programme will consider and include the best practices it gave you in a separate question. That is the ‘intelligence’ part that LLMs cannot have. If you ask a it to do a certain way it will create it. Context tries to address this by prompting the user to give more, but that is not persistent.

    This is exactly why senior devs finding LLMs works for them, because they know ‘how’ to do it, and they explicitly state it. But at the same time junior devs feel they think the code written by LLM is the ‘best’ way so solve a problem and superior in quality, even if it is not, because they don’t know any better.

    Tooling should be able to help the developers improve their knowledge and skill on ‘how’ to do it. Instead it always focus on writing the code. I want to add that I’m not talking about algorithms. But every aspect of coding, in which the programmer needs to know ‘how’ to do it.


  • Also note that almost all of the Europian countries abstained from voting. I think we are seeing the effects of colonialism.

    The resolution talks about ‘reparatory justice’ which I think these colonialists, and countries benefitted from slave trade are afraid of. I feel they see it as, if they agree to it they will have to take actions now and in future, and have to pay or compensate for the injustice.

    The justification given by US is utter bullshit. Wealth of western countries mainly came from extracting resources, both human and material, from Asian and African countries. Claiming otherwise is just ignoring the past and neglecting the injustice.



  • Amm… That means British Monarch in India had conscience, when Mahathma Gandhi was promoting non-violence and hunger strike. Which I don’t think is true.

    In India it worked because British was sure that if they use force against someone promoting non-violence the retaliation will be uprising of a violent mob. Atrocities in India reached a high were majority of the people were affected by it and fed up by it. Like the modern times it was not possible to sway the public opinion through media of any kind.

    Gandhi was a saint in practice‌, but more than that he was shrewd politician, who identified the weakness of British monarchy in India.

    I don’t know much about American History. But I believe that America not having a conscience could be one of the reason why the non-violence will not have worked. I am not sure if that is the primary reason. Can someone with more knowledge in American History provide an elaboration on this point? I feel there will be some missing context.








  • The full story is much more complex, and dark. Even one of the main contributor Argo Tuulik, went bankrupt and had to do gofundme for legal expenses. The CEO of the studio ZA/UM successfully created a narrative infront of well known YouTube channels like People Make Games, (On a side note, I always felt that particular reporter was so bad at his job), that the original creators were problematic to work with. A main reason behind the comoany going down is a convicted scammer who is a friend of ZA/UM’s CEO. People who left the studio and tried to spin up successor peojects. I think there were three different projects announced as the successor. None materialized. Several other opportunists tried to exploit the people behind the original game.

    The whole story can be made in to several seasons long TV Drama.




  • Great. This looks really good. Eyes and lips are amazing.

    Just a suggestion, looks like the eyebrows can be improved. Also the freckles feeld kind of patches, and weirdly uniform. May be brush size variation will help with eyebrows?

    Again I don’t mean to say negative things. I am just sharing what I felt.
