12·19 days agoElon Musk actively hinders his companies from succeeding. People need to stop glorifying his involvement in companies he paid to have his name on.
Too expensive these days

5·1 month ago‘Refuse’ makes it seem like a choice. ‘Are unacceptable to the ideology’ is fairer imo.

Morons. Or rather, they think we are morons, and are betting they’ll somehow make enough money to survive so literally don’t care if the planet burns.
CNN called it ‘Temu Versailles’ the other day, seems very apt.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Should we treat environmental crime more like murder?
3·2 months agoVeritasium has had a couple of videos that are basically this recently:
How One Company Secretly Poisoned the Planet (54:08)
Exposing Why Farmers Can’t Legally Replant Their Own Seeds (46:59)
This is the Natural Disaster to worry about (41:07)
Would be interested if there are channels dedicated to this kind of thing though
Its an abstraction for neural networks. Different individual networks might vary in number of layers (columns), nodes (circles), or loss function (lines), but the concept is consistent across all.

Europa / Europe and the EU + EEA@lemmy.world•Jewish man arrested after his Star of David ‘antagonised’ protesters
17·2 months agoAbsolute ragebait masquerading as news
The Metropolitan Police deny that his arrest was prompted by the Star of David, and said the man was arrested for allegedly “repeatedly breaching” an order to keep opposing protest groups apart.
The quotes in the title should at the very least surround the entire statement ‘his star of David antagonised protesters’ if they want to pretend. The way it stands is deliberately misleading.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why are AI companies suddenly opening up coffee shops?English
53·2 months agoThis is 100% the answer, the only solution to the model decay from LLM outputs overwhelming the web is to start collecting data IRL.
This is also why companies like OpenAI are desperately investing in ‘AI wearables’ that no-one wants. They have to get the unpolluted data from somewhere, and recording real conversations will at least mostly have come from actual humans instead of AI.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Nigel Farage is cosying up to the US anti-abortion group that challenged Roe v Wade. Women in Britain should know that
2·2 months agoAs you’ve repeatedly pointed out I’m making generalisations for the sake of brevity. If you think I’m talking about you that’s a you problem.
Point out for me where I’ve used the word ‘all’. If it comforts you, feel free to read my original comment and all other comments that trigger this defensive response in you as:
(There are) men in this country (who)…
Rather than
(All) men in this country …
Since I would read the comment I replied to the same way.

31·2 months agoThinking women deserve bodily autonomy is not a high standard my friend, do better and stop playing a victim.
If that pushes you away from me then good, please stay far away.
Also congrats on identifying that jokes can be ironic.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Nigel Farage is cosying up to the US anti-abortion group that challenged Roe v Wade. Women in Britain should know that
52·2 months agoPeople’s bodily autonomy being taken away is what we are talking about, regarding the original thread and the removal of abortion rights.
Many men in my life and around the world demonstrate the point that they only care once they have a daughter, including the comment I responded to. Directly contextualising it around his daughter but not his wife, or his mother or his sister? I also take great issue with placing the onus on women to ‘wake up’, when they are generally much more cognisant of the issues that affect them, and it is the responsibility of men to also take a moral stance, and not continue to ignore damaging policies that do not directly impact them, or worse, support them due to rising misogyny.
Personally I think ‘souring the conversation’ would be to complain about an obvious joke mirroring the language of the comment I replied to, to make some sort of ‘not all men’ plea, in a thread about a prominent politician with a wide base of support from young men moving towards an anti-abortion position.

Of course they won’t make it in house, they’ll contract some company to do it as cheap as possible, and it will run like hot garbage and probably have a tone of bugs and security vulnerabilities.
Remember the track and trace app they spent £10 Billion on?

2·3 months agoI’m also a convert to Niagara. It’s a radically different take from the standard iphone-esque app grid, but once you get used to it it’s really efficient.
I found it also made me much more aware of how many apps I had installed that I was never using, which I’ve now mostly uninstalled for a much cleaner list of apps I actually use.
I’m a software engineer and I’ll discuss it with you, rather than just down voting and walking away.
Your use case for AI allows it to excel. Writing self contained scripts and small pieces of functionality for automation is a great use case for AI, but it isn’t what software engineers do. There is a saying that you won’t have a design problem in a code base under 10,000 lines, then all you have is design problems, and this is what AI is bad at. It can’t maintain or update or extend much larger code bases, and it can’t interpret user vagueries into concrete requirements and features.
For me it is useful for prototyping, and for boilerplate code where I know exactly what I want but its faster to prompt it than to type it all out. I wouldn’t use it for anything critical without carefully reviewing every line it generates, which would take longer than just writing the damn code.
I also have a big problem with the reliance a lot of people are building on AI. Remember how every other service you’ve used goes through ‘enshitification’? This will happen to AI. Once they need to be profitable and the shareholders need to get paid, the features will get worse and the prices will go up, and you will have to pay those prices if you can’t work without it. Just something to bear in mind.
Use it if it’s useful. Don’t become reliant on it. You seem interested in coding, why not try coding something simple yourself? Try looking up the documention to see if you can use your wet brain first, and only go to the AI after. You might find you actually enjoy it, or solve problems faster because you remember how you solved them before.






Such as ‘starving and killing children is wrong’. Take a long hard in the mirror.
