I just started messing with linux on an old laptop. Tried VNC and got annoyed. Switched to xRDP and it works as intended but performance is lackluster on a local network.

Anyone have thoughts or tips?

Especially if you just need placeholder art you can use AI to drop in general ideas and later replace the art by a partner or contractor.

If you get a demo off the ground with “alpha” graphics and look decent you can market it better and maybe build a team.

I think a big benefit for this is also motivation. You no longer have a blocker due to missing art or issues with an artist.

Uhh… need a character design for the mayor. <<AI art placeholder>> ok now text… <<AI first draft dialog >> ok now code…

No more excuses!

Today you would have a physical duplicate of something in orbit to test code changes on before you push code to something in orbit.

Caiman looks the most like a dragon head. Mmm…

I’m a fan of the extra HP.

Extra AC and damage can be a slippery slope tho.

Agreed!!

But not to be confused with training pets tho.

You can still have a trained dog that you spoil with some things.

For example: serve steak to your dog that’s not allowed in the kitchen. So they sit patiently at the edge drooling away.

Any alternatives to a food processor? I got a vitamix…

Upvote for cute kitty.

Downvote for massive kcup box.

Neutral on this one.

Yeah essentially welding with a 3d pen

Speaking as someone who wetn cheap and got an ender 3. I’ve spent 90% of my time with printer maintenance and calibration. Not printing…

My go to is a refurbished slim mini pc. Like a dell or HP for sub $100

Another newbie here.

It’s worse when you go to bed and get your clarity as you’re trying to sleep.

Now you gotta decide if you wanna wake up, stay up or get up… I try to settle for writing a note.

Camera?

Like a Webcam camera? What’s the use case? Can you map the pins to a SPC like a raspi or ardrino?

Nice write up. Crazy how fat cats find ways to milk the cash cows.

I’m reminded of how the freaking NFL of all things is considered a non profit somehow. Simply due to the fact that they pay themselves so much money.

My fav thing is two things.

1. It reuses MY OWN CODE STYLE. So if I ignore a suggestion and setup a try catch in my own quriky way it’ll actually reuse it later on when I’m scripting. This works best when you add comments for the sections you write FIRST. So you comment # create array for x data it’ll do that or try catch for query it’ll give you a suggestion for the next block right away.

2. DEBUGGING. github copilot can see your terminal and script so it’ll give you a detailed breakdown and suggestions. Blew my mind the first time.

I 100% agree. I especially love when copilot literally just starts making up shit that doesn’t work or doesn’t exist. Like it can’t be wrong. It just freaking guesses… God forbid it can’t admit it doesn’t have enough data to answer the question.

Best part is when you say “that command doesn’t exist” it’s like “I apologize. Here is a real command to accomplish your task”

SMH

Again, to your point, I agree that copilot is amazing if you already know how to write the code you want. We’re smart enough to know that the suggestions will work for our task. It’s definitely not smart enough to replace you

Basically auto power on after restore power.

Meaning if you get unplugged (or power outage) turn back on like any other networking gear.

… I tend to get down votes when I say copilot has improved my work a ton.

Most of my code isn’t ground breaking shit. I gotta write a script for my task. It’s 90% copying with 10% modifications for my use case.

It also does comments for me…

I wrote a script the other day in like 30 min tested working that would’ve been 2 hrs easy.
