I open the editor and remove the characters in the lines. Very slowly and calmly, as a meditation exercise. Of course, I could also use sed, but anyone can do that.

In fact most of the std is useless and prohibited in embedded. The C++ standard library is awful mess. C stdlib gets flak for unsafe functions and undefined behaviour but that's just because people don't understand what type of shit C++ std is...

Many posts provide examples of sample code for which I am very grateful, but one thing I often find myself doing is removing '#' from the start of the line when copying lines into some shell script. How do others deal with removing this...

Nice :-) What a great tutorial! You might also want to check out here: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAcaQiq14yw It includes configuration of X, and also configuration of LAN. Since this video, I ported 86Box to FreeBSD so that you can...

Is the situation like this from the boot or did it happen on the fly? My brainstorming questions: Any chance there is process of fw being upgraded that locked the whole disk? Any other processes running on the system that might indicate...

Perhaps too complicated for today's AI, but it is also pattern matching, the phrase "code documentation system" is a pattern, otherwise it would not exist, and new means apply chaos to find something else than the "c++ code documentation systems"...

Then that nonsense starts to evolve and converges into meaning. I am curios what AI would come up with If I asked it to create a new c++ code documentation system.

Perhaps most of the time humans are processing patterns, from the very beginning of their life. These LLM have something called "temperature", if it is 0, it is deterministic, selects as next word the one with highest assigned probability, as...

Maybe I should start banning some folks. You either follow the directions of the mods/admins or you're going to find yourself on the receiving end of the ban hammer. Is that clear enough for you?

If AI ever truly reaches genuine creativity, the world will become a fundamentally different place. That moment wouldn’t just be another technological milestone it would be an evolutionary event. Creativity is effectively the threshold of...

Rapidly approaching the trashbin.

Indeed, and that speaks against your principle of writing documentation before coding. Better short comments in the code. And my idea was to leave the final documentation to AI using code and comments. But someone said it is bad troff code...

Because in American culture we don't get offended by others who are smarter, it's not a thing that happens here it would be seen as very strange, people would even think you have something wrong with you. So my natural assumption was that must be...

When did I insult anymore? Because of this? How about I spell it aout to you because clearly your reading comprehension is shit. Meaning "people get offended when they meet someone more intelligent than them." that most be a european thing...

That was extremely rude! In the United States as a coworker you would have gotten in serious trouble for this comment.

I disagree in my culture nothing I said was out of line or even odd. It would be like me getting upset at you for expressing things you find odd in your culture.

Nope just pointing out cultural differences. In the United States saying "Fag" in public would likely get you killed. In fact, I felt uncomfortable writing it.

This whole thing has been on topic. It's about AI how did you expect it was going to go?

You are adding geography, a parameter that has no influence in the phenomenon. AI would have probably not done it. Perhaps the reason is that you expend too much time at work with top engineers and do not have contact with normal people.

Is there still some things on topic to come?

I was reference the fact that the person from Europe said... And I said Because In the United states if you get upset the toaster made better toast than you people are going to think something is wrong with you!! But of course the Europeans...

It is normal human behavior. Stupidity is normal. Psychologically it is projection. If these people feel stupid because they see some people being more intelligent than them, then they do not acknowledge the cause of this bad feeling in them, in...

Wait until you see the next one.

Isn't part of Russia in Europe?

There are a number of guides online that show one how to create DOS bootable USB floppy disks, but these all follow the same theme: Obtain preformatted floppy image. Write image to USB stick. The problem with that is that you're stuck with...

When you create a jail with poudriere, it copies the host's /etc/resolv.conf. Looks like you may have created those jails when your host's /etc/resolv.conf was a bit dodgy. You can set an alternative file it should copy to the jails (at creation)...

It must be a European thing, you don't really see that very often in the United States, we would view someone with that reaction as possible having a mental illness.

I have very frequently the experience that some people get offended when they meet someone more intelligent than them. I can imagine that people acting that way, and so stupid to also personalize AI, do get upset.

That isn’t comfort it’s a distinction. AI can solve problems; engineering is deciding which problems are worth solving and how they fit into reality. And it was a honest response, I don't get upset because a tool can do a particular task better...

16-current just replaced GNU diff3 with a BSD version. The only piece of GPLed software left in FreeBSD is now dialog/libdialog.

So how do I know they can write good documentation? Because the ones who do now have a job. Good docs aren’t harder than coding, we only tell you that to make you feel special, so you keep doing the job we don't want to do.

Excuse me that I am impolite, but is this answer perhaps mere comforting? Of course, and I know a little of troff, but only a little. To do the work, it would take a lot of time, also for redacting the text, and hence I would not do it. I said...

It should work in FreeBSD shells/bash as well as in any Linux distro, because keybindings syntax and functionality are determined by the library that is used to deal with user input. shells/bash uses readline, no matter the OS. But for instance...

I presume -x means remove all current bindings for the key sequence. You probably want to use -r on FreeBSD. You can find the documentation in editrc as directed from sh. The manpages for shell builtins are don't actually document their syntax...

I hate writing documentation. We give that job to the people in the company no one trusts to write code.

The company I work for has a $25 million contract with OpenAI, which gives us access to models that aren’t available to the public. AI is insanely good at programming and teaching, but the versions the public pays to use are not the same ones...

Without looking at link: `roff` isn't guaranteed to render properly on a BSD OS because BSD uses the `mandoc` program (a parser) to render `mdoc` macros. All the AI generated manages I've seen are full of mistakes so I would be careful. AI may be...

And all these proponents of AI forget one thing, one thing that Henry Ford had understood. AI bots don't buy whatever you offer.

As one who used to work in a news TV station--though its been decades--and has a relation in TV news today, this is true. As far as using AI to program, clay still doesn't mold itself.

If you just want to engage in an activity you like, and don't mind finding the mistakes, there's nothing inherently wrong with that in most cases. But, there are so many documents that need to be produced and maintained for most projects that...
