Huh, didn’t realise it was that old. TiL I guess.

15… Years? On the fediverse? How’d ya manage that without time travel?
- Comment on Pretty sound reasoning here. 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s probably fair to say that suggesting that a finger in the barrel of a gun would stop a bullet is a least 10x, if not 100x, worse than the Nazis.

- Comment on Science Journalism 1 month ago:
No. It’s all a bit hand-wavy and nebulous tbh; I think the only leg it’ll have to stand on will be if and when entanglement effects are seen to have a predictive power over complex states that we simply haven’t seen; and IMO at that point it ceases to be an argument about consciousness anyway

I don’t really give a shit what you think, divorce is a big deal
- Comment on Very thankful 1 month ago:
Pretty condescending to tell somebody you don’t know that they need to get divorced too. Tbh libidos can go to shit after kids so yeah. Maybe my funny joke wasn’t so funny. Ah well, I always have had a crap sense of humour
- Comment on Very thankful 1 month ago:
For real though, why is everyone heading straight to divorce, instead of talking about how to tap that wife

Software is really hard. Replacing something that needs to continuously have new features added to it because it’s not been replaced yet… You’re running to stand still

I think it’s just that having a mistress at all is generally frowned upon these days.
- Comment on 77% Of Employees Report AI Has Increased Workloads And Hampered Productivity, Study Finds 3 months ago:
I think the actual problem is that they won’t know when they’ve got something that compiles but is wrong… I dunno though. I’ve never seen someone doing this and I can only speculate tbh. I only ever asked ChatGPT a couple of times, as a joke to myself when I got stuck, and it spouted completely useless nonsense both times… Although on one occasion the wrong code it produced looked like it had the pattern of a good idiom behind it and I stole that.
- Comment on 77% Of Employees Report AI Has Increased Workloads And Hampered Productivity, Study Finds 3 months ago:
No arguments from me that it’s better if people are just better at their job, and I like to think I’m good at mine too, but let’s be real - a lot of people are out of their depth and I can imagine it can help there. OTOH is it worth the investment in time (from people who could themselves presumably be doing astonishing things) and carbon energy? Probably not. I appreciate that the tech exists and it needs to, but shoehorning it in everywhere is clearly bollocks. I just don’t know yet how people will find it useful and I guess not everyone gets that spending an hour learning to do something that takes 10s when you know how is often better than spending 5 mins making someone or something else do it for you… And TBF to them, they might be right if they only ever do the thing twice.

I have no idea why the engagement with this was down votes. So your friend thinks having an LLM to answer questions will help to learn Linux? I imagine he’s probably right.

Don’t knock being perpetually high. Some of my best code I wrote in my mid-20s
- Comment on 77% Of Employees Report AI Has Increased Workloads And Hampered Productivity, Study Finds 3 months ago:
Yeah but the idea of AI in that kind of workflow is so that the product guy can actually do it themselves without asking you and in less than 30 mins

I don’t get it, am I meant to have sympathy for this couple? They speculated on the value of some land going up, it did, they thought they deserved more. Boo hoo.

J (technically it’s a whole unique programming language with a learning curve that’s arguably more of a learning cliff, but it’s very heavily geared towards maths and also has some nice graphing modules)
- Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking? 7 months ago:
Hah weird I’ve been feeling the opposite - like, it feels like there’s more content on here than when I joined, ain’t that weird. Although maybe I’m using ‘stuff I like’ and ‘upvotes’ as a metric and you’re using “community and interaction” maybe? Would seem to make some kind of sense
