I used to be annoyed back when it was just used to cheat investors out of their money.
But now? Now it's the real deal, my friend.

As a developer for 44 years, I hate AI. Todays development systems have so much of that garbage in them. I hate it when it keeps changing my code while I'm trying to type something. I know what I want so please stop messing with me. It really lowers my productivity.

So I am not the only one fed up with all the automatic code insertions...
I was working on a C# project in VS 2022 and got so annoyed with this idiocy that I went back to VS 2019, where I am staying for the time being...
In VS 2022 I tried setting ll of the options off that may have been supporting all the code insertions but nothing worked...

I use Bing Chat GPT for help, but yeah, I think I would be better off if we could go back to the 80's man. One of my favorite games as a child was Neuromancer. Wish they would bring the original version back so I wouldn't have to do the "dark room" emulator gig.

I just see AI as another way to make people dumber than they already are...
I don't see the need for it in my development projects...

I see current "AI" as a tool that can be helpful if the user is aware of its limitations. But it definitely doesn't meet my definition of Artificial Intelligence.

yeah, not going to put it up yet again as I've been shouting and waving to get of that wagon for like... years???

I'm tired of hearing about it on all the tech sites I visit.
Since I retired a few years ago I haven't come across a need
to even try any of the AIs.

I'm so excited. Less so by the cloud cover, but there are good patches of blue sky and the pinhole camera is doing its job.
Last one I saw was when I was about 5 years old in Melbourne.

The video of the event from Austin and Dallas was (is) spectacular!

Clear here in Phoenix.
We also saw the one last October from L.A.
I'll have to plan better for the next one. I put a pinhole on my DSLR, but it wasn't satisfactory.

We live in Dayton, OH and we just viewed the eclipse.
Amazingly enough, the sky was clear. Using certified glasses we watched the last minutes before the total eclipse.
We then viewed the actual full-on eclipse and it was absolutely amazing!!
It's so crazy that when you can finally see nothing in thru the glasses that there is still all that ambient light behind the moon.
When we looked at it with the naked eye (at the appropriate time) we were also able to see a tiny solar flare at the bottom which looked like a jet of red / dark orange light coming out while the rest was a white halo around the entire moon.
it was so much better than I actually even anticipated.
I think I'm so used to bad weather / clouds that I didn't expect much.
But the weather was perfect and the eclipse was freaking amazing!!!
EDIT -- Additional Thoughts
1. When full eclipse occurred, our outdoor automatic lights turned on. Very funny.
2. It is amazing how powerful the sun is that even when it is blocked out almost entirely, there is still so much light shining.
3. It was definitely a very cool "life-moment" to see that, but also glad I didn't have to travel to see it, because it all comes & goes very fast.

That's probably just attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

Thanks for posting that. I was guessing that what we saw was a solar flare but I wasn't sure.

I was in the path of totality, but it was cloudy. Was super cool to witness. Managed this snap on my phone during totality. Wish it was a bit clearer though but the clouds got in the way.

Those clouds probably worked out in your favor.
I had a completely cloudless sky, and the sun was still so bright my camera's sensor couldn't come up with anything showing the moon as clearly as it is in your picture.

I did turn down the exposure a wee bit. Not that I'm a pro photographer, but the sun is so bright you can't see anything hardly unless you do.

I finally found a use for an old welding helmet that I found in a storage locker. (at the time my nephew was in welding school and I thought he could use it...however, not cool enough for him)
What surprised me was how long the event lasted from my viewpoint of around 500 miles east of the path. For a full hour or so it was around 80% coverage. Our skies were clear, and I could see it perfectly through the welding glass. The entire event lasted for almost 3 full hours.
I was asking someone else this morning about using home-made pinhole viewing devices...I vaguely remember doing this when I was a kid and getting frustrated that it didn't work...or it was cloudy...or I was impatient...too long ago!

October '76. I'd parked the wife and kids with my parents in Melbourne while I spent a few weeks working in the USA.
Got back to Melbourne that morning. Really needed some sleep, but managed to stay awake to see it. Awesome!
