... and and and and ...@davidrevoy She's finally free, I have been dying for this part of the series
Evelyn Estelle@andnull @davidrevoy I'm also happy for it. I needed something positive.
By the way, compared to regular LLMs, Rubber Duck has excellent security and privacy. It is also free from most copyright issues.
I should have made an April's 1st webpage...
FriendlyLinuxBat@dragonfi @andnull @davidrevoy And way less likely to annoy you more with "Thats the best idea anyone had thought of ever!" and "you are not just asking questions — you are asking the right questions" types of responses
Brahms@friendly_neighbourhood_bat @dragonfi @andnull @davidrevoy otoh, if the rubber duck is telling you how awesome you are ... 😁
VANTABlack@davidrevoy Great Comic. I remember accidently using tutors as rubber ducks when I was in college lol. It really is a good way to figure things out.
Tykayn@VANTABlack2000
Dont worry, it also works with colleagues after XD
stefan (stefbun)
lovely comic
Artanux - Simon Lefort@davidrevoy : I often use a forum to explain my technical problem and to receive help. Regularly, it helps me to clarify the problem and I find the solution myself...
Velvet@davidrevoy Cepper has come so far 
Haelwenn /элвэн/ 
@davidrevoy Cepper? First time we hear about her name I guess?
@lanodan Yes! It's official, it's ... 🥁 ... Cepper & Parrot! 😆
@davidrevoy Haha :D

Laura@davidrevoy @lanodan Oh. I got Amall right away, but I couldn't figure this out.
Flore@landelare
I didn't even realize that there is something to "get" behind Amall... Would you mind to share?

Wow, same as Flore, thx Charles for the tips !
Zekovski 🧣@davidrevoy @nartagnan @charles @landelare @lanodan @flore
Je savais pas non-plus qu'il y avait une blague.
J'ai connu quelqu'un qui s'appelle Amal alors j'ai pas cherché plus loin. 😆

@Zekovski @nartagnan @charles @landelare @lanodan @flore En bonus pour les Francophones, à voir l'image dans l'en-tête de la MR que @Nartance (qui fait la trad fr) m'a envoyé hier https://framagit.org/peppercarrot/webcomics/-/merge_requests/1234 🤣
Nartance@Nartance @davidrevoy @Zekovski @charles @landelare @lanodan @flore
Tant de génie 🤩
Merci de nous en faire profiter 🙏
@davidrevoy @nartagnan @charles @landelare @flore Punaise m'a fallu un moment pour celle-là. ^^
Je pensais à une blague style "(I) 'am all (ears|…)" au début vu que c'est une elfe.

Kevin Smith@davidrevoy @lanodan So does that mean her name is meant to be pronounced with a hard "C"?
Diego Mascarell ⁂ 
🏳️🌈
Milagros Marrero@MascarellDiego @davidrevoy @smithkm @lanodan Same rule applies in Spanish. I associated it with Céfiro though, so my brain pronounced it *Céfer*.
Solitha@davidrevoy Oh dear gods. I know you mentioned her name in passing before, and I wondered...
And now my head hurts 😂
mohs@davidrevoy @lanodan well if she is ever going to meet the other two, it will surely be in the "bad word joke hell", at least carrot can have something to eat.
What exactly happens, when a cat eats an avian intelligence?

Steven Sandoval@davidrevoy Most everyone has more than one mind since they have more than one brain hemisphere. Sometimes we just need a quiet moment to hear our second thoughts speak above the cacophony of our first thoughts.
Albert WestraI don't know why, but this gif was just going through my head when I was reading the comic.
But yeah, sometimes all we need is a muse to help jog our memory.
zivi@davidrevoy happy ending
Lisseuse@davidrevoy i cannot boost this as often as it deserves to be boosted.

@davidrevoy Sometimes, it's works.

Glad to have a modern revamp !
David, Jeff, thanks a lot for how inspiring your are !
Rubber Duck Problem Solving
At Stack Exchange, we insist that people who ask questions put some effort into their question, and we’re kind of strict about it. That is, when you set out to ask a question, you should… * Describe what’s happening in sufficient detail that we can follow along. Provide the
Stefan Baur 8 * 💉@davidrevoy Gee, and I thought it was "IGNISME!" Whoopsie!
ticho@farbenstau @davidrevoy The true ancient incantation is "Ful Ir".
@ticho @davidrevoy Yol Toor Shul!
@f4grx Yes! Good to reach this part of the arc for Cepper: a closure, a solution... she grew. I'll probably end the Avian Intelligence arc here and move on.
Firestarter_OL
COMPU73E ❄️@davidrevoy I hope this isn't the last we see of her
Linebyline@davidrevoy Good idea. I've enjoyed this arc a lot, but you're right, it's time to move on to other subjects. I hope we can check back in on Cepper and her Aquatic Inanimate coding partner sometime down the line, though.
Tealful Eyes@davidrevoy I love this because this is pretty much exactly how I handle programming in most cases. I say out lout the logic I want and at most I look up the syntax to accomplish each part. Other times I write/draw out a diagram (which feels like summoning lol)
Snapai 
I am pretty sure the most valid "vibe coding" is just writing your spec as comments in a blank source file, then debugging it until it does what you wrote. No LLM required.
@Snapai @davidrevoy I'm unsure if you are implying that I "vibe code". I have never done such or plan to do so. I am saying that as I code I tend to write/draw and speak out loud my thoughts as I do so and if I do not know the exact syntax for a a specific thing I need search documentation or my notes for it.
No why would you think that I was implying that?
@Snapai @davidrevoy
Because I mentioned my own approach of working through coding and your reply to me comes off as placing my approach in the same hat as "vibe coding" or it being less valid than commenting in files, ending with "No LLM required". It reads odd to me as a reply to my statement hence why I was unsure.

Goteer Txuria@davidrevoy plus the duck fools the school into thinking you've got the ai they asked for!
NullDott 🎩 (Comms Open 3/4)@davidrevoy for a moment I read Creeper instead of Cepper lol
dmynerd78@NullTheFool @davidrevoy Glad I wasn't the only one >.> Too much Minecraft

But... but.. where are the profits? I was told there'd be so much profit!?

@davidrevoy The wisdom of the ancients 🦆
Toon Link 
@davidrevoy Ooooh, Amall looks intrigued. Maybe it's the start of something good!
It doesn't get more sandboxed than that, too. XD Rubber duck keeps all your secrets!
