    What does that even mean? Aaron Swartz cowrote creative commons which was to allow for sharing some rights, not all rights. Aaron would not have stood for the scalping of people’s work to create profit driven AI models. Do you just make things up without having any knowledge on the subject?







  • Using AI on libraries you know inside and out (you know all the attributes of the classes you’re working with and you know what the arguments are for every function) feels great. Using AI on libraries you’re not familiar with will simply cause you to lose time because AI will give you code that returns different object types than the library is expecting. Then, instead of understanding why you’re asking it to fix it, it will try variations of similar code and make up an excuse as to why now it’s fixed, despite it having no clue what the problem was. Even if the code “runs” you’ll have to refactor it anyways because code is not one size fits all.

    It can be useful to sparking creativity but if you’re not reading documentation you’re just looking busy while not accomplishing much

    My immediate reaction is that the owner probably took the picture himself trying to go viral and immediately took it down. Nothing gets solved in this country anymore unless there’s a dollar to be made and looking like a good person is somehow more important than being a good person. Why would the person even read it on the front door? Why not discretely package some food and put it next to the dumpster with a note stuck to it? Nothing about this makes sense when you analyze it. The few real heroes of this country are unsung, the rest is just virtue signaling.

    I do think women being rude for no reason is wildly misunderepresented just because a man really has no recourse. Last time I was in Costa Rica(my country of birth) I had been socializing and getting to know people and danced with a couple strangers, got some Instagrams, etc. it was a dance club in a very touristy area so it had a mix of locals and foreigners. I said hi to a girl that was in a corner by herself and she screamed “get the fuck away from me.” I had never been spoken to like that by a stranger and I wanted to tell her that’s not an appropriate response when you’re visiting a country that isn’t yours(she was clearly Asian-American). If she had spoken like that to someone who’s mentally unstable or is one of those “scary locals” she’s probably afraid of she might end up in a dumpster somewhere. I just walked away and tried to forget about it, didn’t even respond to her, but I still think about it from time to time. A lot of the time, your perceptions will influence reality and if you live your life with the assumption that guys are creeps well you might end up being rude to someone who has nothing to lose.



  • It used to be a way bigger deal when computers were very memory scarce, if you needed to say, represent 1024 values, that means you’d use 10 bits or 2 bytes, the remaining 6 bits could be used to store other related information like flags but more often than not it would be waste (unused values that still have to be represented as 0s)

    These numbers are pretty arbitrary nowadays but they still show up a lot in computing. They didn’t choose 256 so they could represent it in a byte, the real reason is probably that groups larger than 256 can’t realistically be managed by users.

    That’s my 2¢ anyways.
