Don't. It's a horrible overheating piece of crap. I literally cannot shoot more than about 3 minutes of video with the flash turned on (at 1080p, not 4k, and not encoding as hevc either). The phone overheats and turns off the flash.

Keeping the phone in my pocket, out of direct sunlight in my car? I see the "3d buildings have been disabled because your phone needs to cool down" every single day. And I live in Malta; in the summer it's a 20 minute trip, at most.

And even then, the battery life sucks anyway.

Android 16 is buggy af too, though that's not specific to the 7a.

does the regex search for what you wanted to? Does it work in all cases? Can I be confident that it will find all instances i care about, or will I still have to comb the code manually?

tests can never prove correctness of code. All they can prove is "the thing hasn't failed yet". Proper reasoning is always needed if you want a guarantee.

If you had the llm write the regex for you, I can practically guarantee that you won't think of, and write tests for, all the edge cases.

that would be more believable if they didn't release the apple vision pro.

Or the years they took biding their time before they finally implemented battery charge time estimation on ios.

Or the time biding their time refining, erm, copy and paste?

Come on!

oh for fuck's sake. A mistake is rendering the wrong emoji. Sending your password to elsewhere is inexcusable

not us! We're busy spending millions to put copilot in the offices of public service employees! And we're receiving "training" and encouragement to use it! (I work in the maltese govt's datacenter, ffs)

and the only reason it's not slowing you down on other things is that you don't know enough about those other things to recognize all the stuff you need to fix

by special casing a lot of things. Like expert systems, in the 80s

yes they can. I regularly do. Regexes aren't hard to write, their logic is quite simple. They're hard to read, yes, but they are almost always one-offs (ex, substitutions in nvim).

1% slowdown is pretty bad. You'd still do better just not using it. 19% is huge!

no, they aren't processing high quality data from multiple sources. They're giving you a statistical average of that data. They will always be wrong by nature. Hallucinations cannot be eliminated. Anyone saying otherwise (irrelevant of how rich they are) is bullshitting.

python is a language explicitly designed to resist any form of proper optimization. It just can't be made fast
