I really really enjoy the parinfer experience. Even more now that I tweaked the code a bit. I mean, joining and splitting a full file of lines on every typed character seems a bit out of scope for a plugin. So I changed the implementation to not do that and BOY OH BOY IT S FAST! Next step is using bytes instead of strings... To be continued

How do you change password on devrant? I am looking at all the options and all I can do is delete the account. Is it hidden somewhere? I have been looking at the items on the right.

I am on webbrower.

Can’t believe it’s been a year already. Currently enjoying a month-long break from work, almost halfway through it. Realizing that I’m at an age where I need to recover from going to a museum, which is wild. But I’m taking the time to visit museums during my PTO instead of just sitting at home binge watching shows like normal.

Unrelated, I tried to crochet a Chucky doll and it turned out.. interesting.

are you ready for new era?

DevRant has been dead for a while. Time to liven things up.

Never really had issues with Java, but this is so funny to me.

To date, the high score for toilet seat slams is 5 in one day. Not sure we will ever beat that score.

While you're rewriting your unit tests because someone requested a fundamental change in your well tested solution, I am fact checking memes like this the whole morning.

We're not the same.

Yapping about security tonight. Let's not talk about privacy. I have a very good quality camera for just 20 euro staring at me and mechanically following me wherever I walk that sends it's data trough China. If I watch the camera live stream on my app it goes trough China.

Well, thing is, I prefer the Chinese government above my own to know shit about me.

That scary light is the infrared light modus.

It has a 32gb card in it and it only saves when there's activity or sound. It can watch until two weeks back. It's not full HD iirc but it's very clear. Even at night. Really should not be possible for 20 euro.

Spent 36 caffeine-fueled hours birthing “Ella Effortless Learning & Lookup Assistant,” an AI know-it-all that trawls old Slack threads, spits out instant answers, and even pings #faq when it’s not sure so the humans can bail it out. In theory she keeps learning and someday replaces the intern we never hired.

Reality check: the judges were not impressed, my team walked away trophy-less, and my ego’s on life-support. So here’s the repo (brace yourself for last-minute Canva slide-vomit, and more buzzwords than a VC pitch):

My board game based on mandavoshka is almost done and if you like to test it via Testflight, please do.

https://testflight.apple.com/join/...

I know, a board game isn’t exactly very exciting but I wanted to do this for ages.

It‘s meant to be played on a tablet with up to four players sitting around the device.
So the controls are rotated to the side of the current player.

You can also select the computer to play for a player, but it doesn’t play very well.

The app icon and the background images are generated by chatgpt because I‘m shit at designing.
It was a real pain in the butt to make chatgpt generate repeatable (tiling) textures.

The app will be free but I added in app purchase to unlock the color picker for each player. It will be the cheapest price of 0.29 €.
I‘m doing it to get experience with iap, not to make money.
You can test the iap for free during the Testflight phase.

So, it took more than a hour to generate the prompt of this application. I also designed how it would look upfront using gpt5. Ultimately i did let claude generate it all.

It's an application that will give an idea about how much you actually get for a million tokens. To give better insight how much AI costs for a normal user that only uses it for questioning and not automation.

The application to test that, became very beatifull with exactly as i have asked.

Living the dream... I might be insane.

Breaking Bad, European edition

This is the thing that OpenAI just misses with fine tuning of their models making their training almost impossible. It always fail on some content. It even failed once when trained with his own historic chat messages. So they went trough the LLM before! But later declined!

This is using Mistral. While I would never advise to pay the mistral chat, their API platform is top notch. It's like OpenAI but actually working decent.

For people that don't know, fine tuning works like this (kindof standard), it's a JSONL (json splitted by new lines) in exactly this format:
{"messages":[{"role":"system","content":"You are good api bot"},{"role":"user","content":"Are you cute?"},{"role":"assistant","content":"Hell yeah!"}]}
{"messages":[{"role":"system","content":"You are good api bot"},{"role":"user","content":"Did Epstein kill himself?"},{"role":"assistant","content":"He did not unalive himself."}]}

You can be jealous, it's fine.

I may frame this.
