Somehow all of these are one HS code.

I really think for “AI” coding that local models are the future.
It’s basically free to run them on hardware you might already have, doesn’t have the environmental issues that data centers have and you don’t have to share your code or project details with anyone.
I’m a bit ambivalent about the ethics of the training data—for coding stuff that data is mostly open source code. I don’t have an issue with my MIT-licensed stuff used for this, but I know other authors do and their preferences should be honored.
I’m hoping that we get “clean” models for this in the future.
Generally I don’t think LLM-assisted programming is universally applicable to all software development but it can be a useful tool.
I also don’t think LLMs are useful for much else (coding is like a one in a million special case). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The code is here, if you're interested: github.com/madrobby/png-to-sca

#Caturday as it should be.

A light-grey cat lies comfortably in my lap. Next to me another person is visible holding a tablet, of which only the edge of the screen is visible. Both humans are wearing treck suit bottoms.

Might as well make a full post
Do NOT wipe your phone to hide it from law enforcement - Unless there is evidence on your phone of worse crimes than 'destruction of evidence'.
"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" etc.
For Android users there is a far less risky option. Create a second user on your phone.

Separate user,
separate PIN,
separate lock screen,
separate lock screen wall paper,
separate CONTACTS,
separate BROWSING HISTORY etc.
Leave that user as the logged in/locked user whenever you'd wish to shield the main account from prying eyes.
Officer: "UNLOCK YOUR PHONE!"
Me: Sure
Officer: "Wtf, man you play a lot of backgammon. Move along"
You didn't disobey the command.
