“Hey why is it taking you so long to review my PR?”

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The AI found issues with its own code

[–] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 22 points 1 month ago (3 children)

My absolute favorite thing about LLMs is how when they do that they explain the problem with "my code" to me.

watching it mansplain to itself why it was wrong is quite the amusement.

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

It hurt itself in its confusion!

"I see the problem. You don't know how to code."

People tearing apart on their own code wasn't in the training data as much.

[–] Angelusz@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Duh. AI's trained on average human data, will produce average results. Want bliss? Train them on Architects.

Is this a real and stupid, non-functional set of stairs?

Or did someone create a cool/definitely impractical staircase where the second flight is on hinges and you lift it up to access the middle floor?

(Edit: I say this because the second flight looks like it's made of wood and maybe not entirely fixed to the floor.)

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

I have seen pictures of actual concrete stairs like that, many years ago.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

Totally possible someone installed the form work for the stairs the wrong way and blocked off the lower ones.

Or they’ve mocked the building and instead of removing the old concrete stairs just walled them off like this.

Things like this are often a protest by the builders against the architect. They spot a problem with the design, try and tell them and get shouted at. They then build it to the design, knowing it's stupid, so the architect has to swallow the cost of fixing it.

I want to be a fly in the wall for that conversation.

A fly with a bucket of popcorn.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's nice.
Although I don't understand how come an Architects drawing goes straight to a builder without a Civil Engineer in between.

[–] tomiant@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe its was an uncivil engineer who refused to cooperate.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

It’s concrete.

[–] tomiant@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Both stairs are perfectly usable on their own.

*Parks my car cross-wise in front of yours, blocking you in.*

Yes. They technically are.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The first one is against code too. No railing on the landing.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Well, if it were at a gap, as would be expected of a normal staircase, it would have enough space for the door to open and for someone to enter it from the side.

I would not want to live in that room either way.

Blud forgot to think in 3d.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was thinking with portals

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I need to replay those games. So good. And the new stuff as well.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it works though. you just need to turn off clipping.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And then you find yourself on a journey to the centre of the Earth.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

happens to the best of us.

[–] tomiant@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

I have had this dream several times.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 month ago

Second picture is indeed an accurate building of the left drawing. Both set of stairs are drawn in section, implying that they are on the same plane.
