@cmconseils for the record, this is untrue. we're a collector and have a paper copy of that manual. they do not have names.
it's funny though :)
While this is correct, this is not True. So says Blue Ricky

If the blocks were named, wouldn't Alexey Pazhitnov, the Russian who wrote Tetris in Russia, have named them "Dmitri", or "Boris and Natasha" etc.?

@ireneista @cmconseils okay I went to double check because they do have names but I know that they're a weird unofficial thing meant to make discussing the game in the abstract easier.
And I found this: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/i-just-learned-the-names-of-tetris-blocks-and-theyre-perfect_uk_66b4a6e8e4b042ee2cd02cd3
Apparently, this joke fooled Jeopardy.

@pathunstrom @cmconseils yeahhhhhh it's perennial (always with that exact same shopped photo), which is why we weigh in any time we see it

@pathunstrom @cmconseils we've been meaning to make a short video of us flipping through our copy, but since we don't use a smartphone we also don't have an easy way to do that

@isol @cmconseils Yes.
there's not a specific page that appears to have been the source of the doctored one, it looks like it was made from whole cloth

@cmconseils Anyway, this is what named Tetris blocks will do in 21st century, anyway:

"Someone on the internet" - haha, at that point it became funny.

@rubenerd @exchgr also, note that weather app has all the things I probably wouldn't have bothered doing on a small throwaway project because they're tedious: Good test coverage, every static analysis option possible, nice packaging and automatic deployment to the server when tagging a release via Github actions. All that would have taken me days to write by hand, even though that's exactly the kind of stuff I do every day at work, versus a few minutes of prompting and occasionally correcting.
-
@aeva ahh I see, makes more sense knowing about swipe. I never did figure that out myself, heh.
-
@rubenerd @exchgr I could have built the weather app in...maybe 3x-4x the time it took? But, I probably wouldn't have, because I didn't want it three or four times more than that amount of effort.
I've got two other much larger projects that haven't really launched yet, that have also taken remarkably less time than I would have required doing it myself.
I hate being "rah rah AI", but I'm not going to lie on the internet about it when I know it's gotten really good at writing code.

@johnlogic Iâd remove the AA and the âjust classesâ from education. If youâre concerned about gaps, you already call it âcareer impactâ so it doesnât have to be complete.

By posting on here, tapping into my social network is exactly what I'm trying to do.
I've heard that weak ties can be the most powerful, especially when job seeking.
I also have a pretty extensive professional network, as I volunteer for the world's largest technical professional organization, IEEE.

@rubenerd @exchgr I was dragged into it by my employer, as I like having health insurance, but it works. Over the holidays I built a bunch of stuff (an absurd amount of stuff), more working code than I've ever written in such a short time in my life. I wanted a weather app without ads, so I built one in a couple of hours. https://wthr.lol/ (And, if you're curious about code quality, it's here: https://github.com/swelljoe/wthr.lol )
I've used it to find bugs in huge projects and build from scratch.

@aeva *it turns out, sometimes the juice is not worth the squeeze
-
@rubenerd @exchgr yeah, I read all the studies and felt quite smug about AI, as well. And, then I actually built some stuff and found some bugs with current gen frontier models, and my priors were upended.
I'm not saying I like it, as it's going to cause a tremendous amount of disruption, and not in a good way, given who holds every leadership position in government and industry right now. But, I simply can't pretend it doesn't work, anymore, because I've seen it with my own eyes.
