Microsoft recall should fill out my stupid timesheets at work

to run old software without the person who made the software to have to update to newer operating system and library APIs

lazy compatibility layer that will explode into virus avenues one day I'm sure 😁

anthropic's AI is the best one anyway

good on them for not surveillance or military

let's see how long that lasts lol

well it's an advice even outside software. for those productivity people (mostly students). it's given to business people, too

while in software I used it... used it in game development (and didn't get very far when I did, attributed the issues to something else at the time), I didn't realize it was the task dividing that was actually the problem... in this case I just had a bunch of people go through my apartment and make a mess of it, and I had written down everywhere that needs fixing and cleaning after them. but it's just easier to be in a room or on the way to a room and fix/clean stuff just as I see it (which is also how I coded)... but then because it was a lot of work I would stop at arbitrary spots (put a lot of pressure on myself to NOT code this way and it made me dread it) and then I spent forever correcting my stupid todo-lists... and it's much easier I guess to see how annoying and unhelpful all this is with physical things than abstract things

could also start a political revolution for funsies. write a Magnus opus for the ages

would love to have this problem tho -.-

jelly. cri

been hanging with a friend and he expresses similar things. it's like he's bored of life. he conquered things and now there's nothing really bugging him

he wants kids cuz of it

for some reason they wanna add user activity to AI training

... I'm at this stage currently where I don't believe in refactoring as a general

like so what if the code is messy. you can still read and understand it so leave it

and if the whole codebase sucked (like architecture, performance, old libraries, etc) instead of refactoring it I would just make a new app

so refactoring doesn't really make sense in my mind

it's not like business cares about what you have to deal with. so getting used to working on crappy looking code seems fine. later some other devs will come in and decide all your style guides were ugly and start refactoring again for no reason. and on it goes endlessly. the computer can read it fine though. so you're just giving yourself work that no one will appreciate anyway. and liability because 100% things will always break

I mean refactoring is always gonna break things either way

if you're there changing things anyways refactoring is going to break less things if you're doing it piecemeal like that. some refactorings have to be over whole architecture though and that's when you can't do it piecemeal and the chance of breaking things and how many things you'll miss and break goes way up

@Lensflare that's what I said lol

@D-4got10-01 I literally don't understand and am unsatisfied with the herding/socialization theories. raaghhh

people are dumber in groups and you yourself are more invested in your own betterment than anyone else ever is of yours. the whole herding idea is disasterous

@whimsical baiting my egocentricity there wah wah wah

what does it say!

@whimsical psychiatrists don't say that. they just manipulate you into taking drugs, by literally leveraging social myths instead of educating anyone about science or studies which you'd figure they would bother with but they don't. evidently

theory of mind is a skill that most suck at

because the information readily and easily comes to their mind they think you would comprehend it to the same degree they do. when that's not the case. for you it's new information, for them they walked over that information tens or hundreds or maybe even thousands of times so their neurons are quite well trained in that information but for you it's all new so it's far easier to miss some detail, and that's even if you have good neurogenesis to be able to retain most of the information from a dense lecture where someone describes systems you may have not personally seen or experienced so it's pretty difficult to even know where to pack away their descriptions within your head

RTFM was a good defense once upon a time and they're missing out, tsk tsk tsk

sub string / slice ranges never bugged me maybe because my first exposure to such was game development where you did a random number generation between 0.0-1.0 and then multiplied that with however many values/elements of something you had and then converted the float back to an integer which would naturally round the index down... so you could never have an inclusive higher bound. it was just elegant

and if you dug into those things (which no one ever did) you'd find out that when he was a kid he carried a briefcase or something and thought he was gonna go fly to Africa to save the Africa kids and how silly that was because his dreams were unrealistic (I forget the details frankly. something about falling for a scam? idr)

and at this point the audience goes "awwww"

and then he gets promoted to some high caliber project even though he failed the last all of the ones he was ever on. because he's got the cultish attitude tech loves

@whimsical people 100% judge you based on your age and if you wear glasses and say the buzzwords. your actual competence doesn't matter

pretend to work 80 hour weeks while pretending to be too busy to be in the office more than 30. winning combo of an ex boyfriend of mine who worked in AI for NASA and everyone thought he was a super genius when I couldn't ask him anything technical. but he wore fancy nerd clothes, fancy designer eye glasses which apparently stereotype people to seem smart, copied autistic excited nerd body language, and kept referencing papers that exist that he never understood, name-dropping, etc... every person he ran into he told them a different salary amount that he made. nobody has ever even asked me my salary so how does that conversation come up so many times I wonder. guy had ideas about everything in science and tech that he wanted to do and kind of like "ran hours long presentations" on his world-changing tech ideas that he never did nor even planned to

the criticism will continue until the natural limits to physics are agreed to be something else

idk what's even a steam scammer

@Lensflare so being proud of your baby is perfectly rational

@Lensflare I mean all your ancestors got together cuz they found each other attractive (for the most part), so the genes on how you look and what you find attractive should converge barring some unlucky combination

the propagandizing will continue until rich people get richer

I do wonder how the hell they decided on the cadence/personality of the AI. I find it so annoying

@whimsical AI companies paid money to anna's archive to get all the pirated digital books we have ever written that were digitalized

I read that shit

ofc then AI won't actually give you quotes from any of that content (I tried) because then it would be a "copyright violation", lawl

so maybe EM dashes came from the fact AI isn't trained on garbage. there were efforts for like a decade to sift the garbage internet and the good stuff and only feed the AI the good stuff. I do find this offensive. They would do this for AI but never the humans. assholes.

but I would guess most of its data is old books, so EM dashes

and then the factories came...

they're having time of their life, these buzzwardos

... one of the companies I invested in just sent me a promo email and it's written by AI. I'm meaning to actually read it and see how hard they botched this but quite honestly I should probably sell at this stage because this is too dumb to recover. they're consumer-facing. there's no reason to do this, their product is not content. and yet they are

tech companies saved all their tax evaded, extremely high margin profits for 50 years and finally have something to spend all that money on

so probably not anytime soon

not this, but that
