Atariage on Chrome suddenly quit working. I am getting the following 500 error when trying to open an Atariage.com site. But it seems to be working fine on Firefox? When I try to open in Chrome it first gives the following in the URL "https://forums.atariage.com/admin/install/" then it adds the comment segment on the end. Did a certificate just run out?

Just got on my other laptop and this is not happening, I will try to restart the other and see if it disappears.

None of my programming friends whom I have talked to have yet been able to tell me a single use case for AI saving them time, save creating a code framework - a task that takes mere minutes anyway.

hehehe a number of my programmer friends say they spend more time fixing AI code than it would take to write their own.  IIRC, Google has directed its programmers to not use AI for code.

A restart of my win11 laptop didn't fix this issue and now Firefox is starting it on the same computer. Would anyone know if a known virus would cause this. It's just happening on Atariage. This is the same computer I was getting the Windows Defender messages on about a week or so ago.

I think the only people who are finding it creates the code faster are those who couldn't write it anyway, and there are no metrics at all about whether the code that was generated /actually worked/.

 

I have to admit, when setting up my Linux NAS on a mini-pc last month, I had quite some bash scripts written by ChatGPT. 

 

It understood very well what I wanted and created code with error-checking and comments, which ran immediately. In some cases I started simple and added features in the dialog ... ignore .zfs directories, write a logfile, ...

 

It was fun. And spared me from learning the bash syntax, in which I have no real interest in.

Sounds like the future is coming at us quickly.

So, that's what I see on America's Funniest Home Videos!  (I call it Pratfall Theater).  Must confess, it's amusing watching people walking into walls and stuff-- only because it isn't my $2000 TV that got knocked over and broken...

K-R.

When you got to transport the whole library of congress with you, imagine the amount of PDFs you can carry with you now:

DJ's here in Calgary, I did lunch with him once and saw some of his robotics projects.

 

Oddly, he also knows one of the guys I worked with down in San Francisco at Neato. ;) Small world!

Per the new Roku user agreement on forced arbitration, I sent a written opt-out to Roku's general counsel.  I included my Roku account information, TV serial number and purchase receipt.  They received it on April 2, 2024.  As of tonight, April 14, 2024, my TCL Roku TV still requires that I accept the agreement in order to use it.

 

I brought up a support agent on chat, who told me that I could continue using my TV by performing a factory reset, after which I would be limited to live TV and HDMI.  This is not what I understood would be the result of the opt-out.

 

I am pursuing this further.

If you can convince a local TV station to do the story that gets people's attention.

Better if it's a national network station where the story can get distributed across the country.

There are options.
