3·8 天前That’s unfortunate. Can’t say I’m surprised. Google is garbage.

71·8 天前You’re right, I apologize, it’s really 3 lines of code repeated over and over. It’s repeated for each monitor/action (brighten/dimming) being performed. The script file it technically 47 lines because I have 3 monitors and 10 different shortcuts.
Here’s the first action for the first monitor. Just edit the name and the brightness amount and voilà. The comment inline code formatting might put it on one line.
^!+PgUp:: Run, D:\Programs\ControlMyMonitor\ControlMyMonitor.exe /ChangeValue "MSI G274QPF" 10 20 returnTo be honest, I hesitate to even consider this example programming. The only thing it’s doing is executing a single command when a key combination is pressed. It doesn’t require really any programming experience. No loops, variables, scope, no time complexity, nothing.
Using an AI robbed them of learning even the smallest of concepts and they have not grown as a result.
It’s the same thing with any other concept; I don’t need to dedicate my life being an auto mechanic, but I should at least be able to know how to change a tire when I need to.

63·9 天前You’re dictating to and micromanaging an algorithm. Cringe individuals would refer to themselves as “Prompt Engineers” or something like that.
Instead of actually writing the code and understanding what each function actually does, you’re basically just skimming whatever the output is. You’re not gaining experience in programming by doing that and you may not be aware of what exactly everything does. Could be harmless until something unexpected starts causing issues.
For your specific case, an LLM seems completely overkill. I’ve also setup my desktop monitors to change brightness via a couple keyboard shortcuts using ControlMyMonitor and AutoHotkey. It’s like 10 lines of code.
I’ve never heard anyone actually complain about this, lol.

46·9 天前That works as long as you have the cookies for it; it won’t work in private browsing. Using OP’s method works in private browsing, too.
Both are good.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?English
8·1 个月前UI that isn’t customizable is shit. I don’t mean it needs to be Myspace level, but enough to make it comfortable to use.
Someone else said they hate infinite scroll. I love infinite scroll. Implement both.
I was interested in an open source fitness tracking app that didn’t use a measurement system I’m familiar with. The dev basically said “fuck off” when someone asked about implementing it. Well, the dev has less exposure and their app has less users as a result.



Sounds like a fucked up, rare trading card.
