- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 11 hours ago:
Can already confirm they are doing that.
Well yeah, I guess I meant more that this trend is increasing.
We marked ourselves as “AI powered” . Nobody is using our AI tools after they go live. We can see the logs.
Did using the buzzword help at all with shareholders or customers though?
The executives are building dog shit unrealizable tools right now that nobody uses
Don’t even need to build them sometimes IMO. Friend pointed out that the excellent notetaking app she was using claimed to use AI and then she found this comment on reddit from one of the people behind it:
While FlowSavvy’s auto-scheduling is considered AI in the broad sense that it performs complex tasks that mimic human intelligence (and is exactly what people are looking for when they’re looking for “AI scheduling”), it does not ML/DL. Instead, FlowSavvy uses a carefully-designed deterministic algorithm to schedule tasks predictably, reliably, and quickly.
Everyone seems to be super happy with it as an AI auto-scheduler lol

I predict that for a while, corporations will lie about using AI more than they actually do, just because it’s still being hyped. But then everyone will stop giving a fuck.
- Comment on YouTube will start using AI to guess your age. 15 hours ago:
IIRC that is one parameter they actually mentioned taking into account.
I guess my 2006 or 2007 or whatever YouTube account (which, yes, I later connected with my Google account - not all that much later, in fact) will perhaps qualify me for adult-only content finally.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 1 day ago:
I’m Estonian, I unfortunately can’t say it’s free, as it costs 5 euros per visit for ER and specialty doctors and 2.50 per night stayed in hospital if you have surgery or something.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 1 day ago:
But then neither does China. Is what I’m saying.
By the Chinese definition of it, it’s very close.
In 2024, approximately 92.0% of Americans had health insurance for some or all of the year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau
For China it was 95%
Neither country gives you free insurance unless you’re old or poor enough.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 days ago:
I think you’re unfamiliar with at least one of the two systems then because they’re described as pretty similar by people who have lived in both countries. Both are pay 2 play, American one is just more expensive.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 days ago:
Doesn’t America also have near universal healthcare then? The system is pretty similar, get insurance through work unless old or poor

- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 2 days ago:
Why if I already need to know Docker for work, but not the others
I’ve used Kunernetes but not Ansible lol
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 2 days ago:
Yes, that was my point, you (generally) link statically in Rust because that resolves dependency issues between the different applications you need to run. Cost is a slightly bigger, bloatier binary, but generally it’s a very good tradeoff because a slightly bigger binary isn’t an inconvenience these days.
Docker achieves the same for everything, including dynamically linked projects that default to using shared libraries which can have dependency nightmares, other binaries that are being called, etc. It doesn’t virtualize an entire OS unless you’re using it on MacOS or Windows, so the performance overhead is not as big as people seem to think (disk space overhead, though… can get slightly bigger). It’s also great for dev environments because you can have different devs using whatever the fuck they prefer as their main OS and Docker will make everyone’s environment the same.
I generally wouldn’t put a Rust/Cargo project in docker by default since it’s pretty rare to run into external dependency issues with those, but might still do it for the tooling (docker compose, mainly).
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 3 days ago:
True, Docker does it better because any executables also have redundant copies. Running two different node applications on bare metal, they can still disagree about the node version, etc.
The actual old-school bloat-free way to do it is shared libraries of course. And that shit sucks.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 3 days ago:
Main benefit of Docker for home is Docker compose IMO. Makes it so easy to reuse your configuration
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 3 days ago:
Actually docker is excellent for building from source. Some projects only come with instructions for building in Docker because it’s easier to make sure you have tested versions of tools.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 3 days ago:
Both your examples actually include their own bloat to accomplish the same thing that Docker would. They both bundle the libraries they depend on as part of the build
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 3 days ago:
That could’ve been iTunes if their interface didn’t suck ass and if they didn’t go for the subscription-only model in Apple Music.
I swear for years it was THE place to buy music. I mean I never did, I didn’t have access to a card with online payments enabled as a teen, so I just pirated everything anyway. But it seemed like the default place.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 3 days ago:
Wait, can’t you just load non-Amazon books on the Kindle? I thought this is only about the ability to redistribute books you buy from Amazon.
I mean I’d still sure like to hear if there’s a good alternative. But if not, I think you can still use it, just don’t buy Amazon books for it. Recommend researching first though.

Back when I was younger and my Tinder age minimum was set to 18, you’d see a lot of profiles with 18 or 19 as the age that said “actually 15” in the bio.

Well there were a lot of people who hid jews with more success and I dare call them heroes. You have to keep in mind that Landa was exceptional and he himself said most German soldiers were useless in finding hiding places.

- Comment on proof of wormholes 6 days ago:
That’s also true. I don’t remember mine having any fever or significant discomfort beyond colics in the first months. Teething is when the pain started so like 2 or 3 months in IIRC. Then we definitely had to break out the stuff once or twice. Ex said she asked the doc for advice with that but who knows, she wasn’t exactly honest about anything ever. If she says the sky is blue, I’m going to triple check it at this point. Luckily I have a very healthy and happy baby, barely ever has a fever or complains about anything besides hunger and sleepiness.

- Comment on proof of wormholes 6 days ago:
Yeah, acetaminophen is like the most common painkiller and fever reducer. They make syrup versions of it you can give to children. And, uh, suppositories for babies that are too small for the syrup.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 6 days ago:
There’s branches of conservatives who fled reddit long before we all did. But then they were all openly nazi too. Voat was one site and I forget what the other nazi reddit clone was called.

Thing is, you don’t need an account for YouTube to work. And if you use an adblocker, it’s actually pretty hassle free too.

They gain fame through memes like this mostly. They’re also pretty good actually.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 1 week ago:
Not in either of the universities I’ve been to. You can go study IT if you want the catch-all, computer science is computer science and is NOT meant to be job prep. In fact, you’re expected to go to vocational college for job prep, not an academic university.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 1 week ago:
