I've lately been making my git commit messages with AI
  • y’all need to speak for your own companies. obviously some companies will not allow it, and I’d be personally skeptical of allowing it if I ran a company - but I also work at a place that effectively has given a quiet go-ahead to use it, with objectively talented engineers regularly making use of LLMs for boilerplate and other aspects of work.

    obviously, there’s some calculus on when to use it, and you better damn inspect your outputs, but treating as a blanket rule that OP is a terrible employee at their company when you don’t know the company is rude as hell and uncalled for.

  • I've lately been making my git commit messages with AI
  • it’d be interesting to see some examples of what your script came up with - I’m a bit skeptical of what an AI would come up with in terms of a commit message, and I’d think you’d need a pretty complex system to get commit messages to be maximally useful. I’ve found LLMs can stray towards being too high level and struggle if you ask more specific questions.

    but I could also see it as being helpful for a sort of audit log for what changed, and I don’t think it would be too harmful, as long as you’re checking what the LLM is generating and making sure there’s corresponding code changes, that it’s not hallucinating etc.

    hard to tell without examples - perhaps you could expand your post with some?

    an aside, sorry you got such an overwhelmingly toxic response. the amount of angry people on this platform who feel the need to morally educate everyone around them objectively sucks and makes it a really unpleasant place to be.

  • The EV transition trips over its own cord
  • To be honest, other than the argument of “everything is political,” I get where The Verge is coming from.

    When I was a kid about ten years ago, it felt like EVs were uncontroversial and just the next logical step for cars. I don’t remember nearly the same levels of backlash. People in my family on both sides of the political spectrum didn’t really care too much one way or the other on them.

    Now it feels much more scrutinized, both by people on the right who don’t typically care about environmental issues, and some leftists who want transit instead. And that scrutiny tends to be pretty harshly worded.

    Maybe it’s down to factors like the costs of EVs. They’re damn expensive so I could see why people would get more frustrated at them. Though how they’re “woke” escapes me.

  • Ubuntu 23.10 break graphical installer for local deb packages
  • respectful counterpoint: marketshare is important, especially if we want to get more users to use ethical softwares instead of corporate controlled proprietary messes.

    that doesn’t mean this particular issue needs to adapt to a Windows-style approach (and in fact it already can with flatpakref files, AppImages, etc.), but dismissing accessibility to people unfamiliar with Linux or dismissing having a goal of increasing Linux usage is harmful to the longevity of desktop Linux in society, and harmful to the goal of competing with the monopolistic, proprietary platforms that currently dominate.

  • FBI indicts three in insider trading scheme that utilized Xbox 360 chat to hide comms | Ringleader could be looking at as much as 165 years in prison
  • I hope this is ironic. I use Lemmy because Reddit blocks mobile usage and there aren’t good clients available. Sick of having to wade through bullshit extremist takes like this on every thread.

    Sure I’m progressive, and despise the rioters, but calling for their deaths is insane. Nobody should support or advocate for state sponsored violence and execution. Ever.

    Texas is literally in the process of murdering an autistic man for false science. Constant extrajudicial killings defines our reckoning with policing. How idiotic and tone deaf do you have to be to call for an even more punitive system, and advocate for hangings of all things?

    They are getting multi year sentences in our torturous prisons, where upon release they will be marked with a felony charge and never able to work any good job or live any kind of good life again. That is sufficient, if not objectively excessive.

  • Bruno HTTP client, offline alternative to Postman/Insomnia
  • Yeah, I’m annoyed by this as I’m looking to script a rudimentary Bruno->postman tool, so I won’t be blocked at work on Monday. means I need to dig into their tooling.

    they have an internal bru2json method that is used when exporting a collection into a single file, so I wonder what the benefit is keeping it in the proprietary format at all. maybe it makes it a bit easier to edit by hand, which is a supported use case, but there’s JSON tooling to enable good autocompletes/schemas iirc

    EDIT: I has made script (very wip) https://github.com/wtpisaac/bruno2postman

  • Bruno HTTP client, offline alternative to Postman/Insomnia
  • I saw that too, but I couldn’t tell if it was a community or corporate backed thing; I also don’t like that it’s only available through a browser (I know Bruno is Electron, but having a separate desktop app is nice to me)

    At minimum Hoppscotch sells some kind of Enterprise Edition https://docs.hoppscotch.io/documentation/self-host/enterprise-edition/getting-started

    I don’t know the details, but I’ve just gotten burned too much. Bruno seems genuinely fully libre, no bs, so I’m hoping that it gets more traction.

  • Bruno HTTP client, offline alternative to Postman/Insomnia
  • yeah but it removes access to all but one collection - you can’t organize things into separate collections without a login anymore. plus if you have existing collections, it’ll block access to it unless you downgrade (which seems to forcibly update even if you turn updates off)

  • Bruno HTTP client, offline alternative to Postman/Insomnia
  • might be a cool thing to try and contribute

    out of curiosity, what does that mean precisely? being able to import/export an OpenAPI spec? (not super familiar with OpenAPI, I know you can get an OpenAPI collection in a json file)

    insomnia just enshittified itself and requires cloud login like postman, and force upgrades you from the old version even if you disable updates. this blocked me at work today.

    this client looks great, wanted to boost it here in case anyone else got screwed by Insomnia this morning.
