- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 1 day ago:
He believes that there is a bibilical antichrist alive right now, and he can stop it but also shouldn’t. He’s disconnected from reality so severely, he lives in a completely different world. The fact that he’s rich is not a testament of his professional capabilities, but to the fact that in current capitalist environment, the only prerequisite for being rich is to be lucky and have zero morals

It might be you just got unlucky. Mine is still going strong all this years, and I use it often.

- Comment on U.S. Tech Layoffs Hit Two-Decade High in October 1 week ago:
I work for a European company, and we had a major car company as a client. 6 month ago they abruptly stopped working with us and fired a bunch of their engineers, and now they hired again and are trying to negotiate a new deal with us.
Your story might be an answer to why - Comment on What is the catalyst that actually causes (financial) bubbles to burst? 1 week ago:
A lot of people learn nothing from their experience, you’re not alone in that

You hadn’t been around for dotcom craze then.
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 2 weeks ago:
The main weight in an electric plane is a battery, and the energy density in that isn’t good enough yet, and it’s possible that it can’t be better with the current batteries we have, and we need a battery on a different set of elements
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 2 weeks ago:
The point is that under the best conditions up close centimeters away from your face you can just about see 0.1. And we’re talking 4 times that two meters away.
Text on the modern tv does look better though. Bu how much of that is that all the technology got better, colours are more uniformed, the light emmiters are more consistent, there is less dead space, etc.
It’s like that old gimmick with cameras and megapixels. Cameras were getting better, but not because the number of megapixels was bigger, still that’s the only number everyone cared about, so they started selling numbers that didn’t make any physical sence. - Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 weeks ago:
Right? “Yeah, there is scientific study about it, but what if I didn’t read it and go by feelings? Then I will be right and don’t have to reexamine shit about my life, isn’t that convenient”
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 weeks ago:
If my quick calculations are correct, the 70 inches screen at 1080p has a pixel size of about 0.7 mm give or take, where 4k would be about 0.1-0.2.
0.1mm is a smallest size of a thing a human could potentially see under very strict conditions. A pixel smaller than a millimeter will be invisible from a meter away. I really, really doubt its humanly possible to see the difference from the distances a person would be watching tv.The thing is, the newer 4k tvs are just built better, nicer colour contrast, more uniformed lighting, clearer glass, and that might be the effect you’re seeing

This video exactly explains the thing you’re missing about it - Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 3 weeks ago:
It doesn’t matter if you can disable it by cutting a wire, it’s the same amount of security in this case.
There were of course alarms that you couldn’t disable by cutting an obvious wire, just like there are smart alarms that you can’t actually hack easily. - Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 3 weeks ago:
Do you seriously think old alarms were unhackable?
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 3 weeks ago:
Learn skills that will be easily transferable across countries. Look for a country you would like to live in, learn the language if necessary, research where they are hiring.
Do it before Trump’s third term, there will be a lot more chaos then - Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 4 weeks ago:
I absolutely don’t. Since we’re talking about bad cases anyway, I don’t trust a developer to be diligent in finding bugs in their code more than I believe they will try to make all the tests pass. And it’s easier and better for the ego to achieve that if you write shit tests that only cover cases that you know will work.
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 4 weeks ago:
What an inspiration to us all
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 4 weeks ago:
Devs are more invested in code they wrote themselves. When I’m writing tests for something I didn’t write, I’m less personally invested in it.
This, I think, is a very bad part of the problem and shouldn’t be happening regardless
- Comment on Mozilla's Firefox adds Perplexity's AI answer engine as a new search option | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
My main problem with that, is that it actually doesn’t use the sources it lists. It does it sometimes, and other times the links have nothing to do with the generated text, and some of them might be also non existent, but because it’s not always wrong, it makes people complicit, nobody actually checks the sources, but believe it more because the links are there.
- Comment on Mozilla's Firefox adds Perplexity's AI answer engine as a new search option | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
The issue is them adding it to your list without user’s input or even notification. This is unpleasant behaviour that shouldn’t be normal, even if this time there is no damage.
- Comment on Mozilla's Firefox adds Perplexity's AI answer engine as a new search option | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
Thankfully it’s easy to remove yet. But this sneaky automatic addition is still annoying.
- Comment on Mozilla's Firefox adds Perplexity's AI answer engine as a new search option | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
It’s not a search engine, it’s a random text generator disguised as an engine. It’s worse than Google, if you can believe it. We don’t need more shit that is worse than Google
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 5 weeks ago:
Just like shovels existed before the gold rush and will exist after humanity’s death. But we have a saying for a reason
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 5 weeks ago:
Oh believe me, it wasn’t just luck. They have special labs full of people who’s whole job is to find another unexplored niches that can buy their cards. And they only make specific single purpose cards only when the market is mature enough to justify the spending, which is also smart.
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 5 weeks ago:
Nvidia are very smart in that regard, ethics aside. Very early on they decided that selling cards to gamers will not give them the infinite growth everyone so desperately desire, so they started looking for what does, and they were consistent at it ever since. Every tech bubble of the recent history is powered by Nvidia cards. How much they contributed to the hype (and damage) is not entirely clear, but that’s not zero for sure
- Comment on The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe 5 weeks ago:
Capitalism’s biggest lie is that people have freedom to chose what to buy. But they have to buy what the ruling class sells them. When every billionaire is obsessed with chatbots, every app has a chatbot attached, and if you don’t want a chatbot, sucks to be you then, you have to pay for it anyway.
- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 5 weeks ago:
Different set of cookies, different set of preferences, bookmarks, history, etc. If you need to completely separate two instances, for example one for work and one for everything else, you can only do it with profiles
- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 5 weeks ago:
Morrowind. Playing it, modding it, breaking it, trying to fix mods, writing new mods, all of it. Morrowind was so fun, for some time it convinced me that Bethesda might be a competent company

I use them all the time, they’re great. I learned about it from another random Lemmy comment

You can use containers all you want, just don’t create another profile and you’re golden.

You can actually get some test validity oversight out of AI review
You also will get some bullshit out of it. If you’re in a situation when you can’t trust your developers because they’re changing companies every 18 months, and you can’t even supervise your untrustworthy developers, then you sure as shit can’t trust whatever LLM will generate you. At least your flock of developers will bullshit you predictably to save time and energy, with LLM you have zero ideas where lies will come from, and those will be inventive lies.
