Maybe he’ll wake up with a conscience one day and start an epic redemption arc and… Eh, who am I kidding
Iunno. I think it should derive from a mandate by the masses.
21·1 day agoI found LLMs to be useful for generating examples of specific functions/APIs in poorly-documented and niche libraries. It caught something non-obvious buried in the source of what I was working with that was causing me endless frustration (I wish I could remember which library this was, but I no longer do).
Maybe I’m old and proud, definitely I’m concerned about the security implications, but I will not allow any LLM to write code for me. Anyone who does that (or, for that matter, pastes code form the internet they don’t fully understand) is just begging for trouble.
Even the diehard Trump fans would probably not be okay
Given the number of diehard trump fans who wish harm to other members of the US and agitate for an internal war, I doubt this is true for the majority of them.
They got called out for allowing nazi and other content. They cried “free speech!”. Eventually they said “we fixed” by which they really meant that they only let you post Nazi (and similar) content if you don’t directly call for the killing/extermination of people. That’s where it was the last time I read about it, so I assume they’re still quite happy to take money from and give money to some of the worst people around. No clicks from me.
It’s… Beautiful.
21·2 days agoI think there is a European bias and maybe a (perceived?) prestige bias to Castilian as well.
My knowledge may be dated and it may vary by state, but the “I want to go to uni” track had a two-year requirement of a foreign language. When I was in school, French and Spanish were the only choices and most people wanted to study Spanish. My school system had German as well at some point, but it was cut before I got into highschool in the mid '90s. Some schools have Latin, Japanese, and others as well.
A lot more than two. Even within Latin America, there are some fairly interesting differences in grammar, vocab, and pronunciation.
2·2 days agoI just got tired of always middle-clicking because I would inevitably forget to, close the tab I was using, and get annoyed. I actually ended up needing to post on that site eventually, so the account has purpose now, at least.
American workers also want American wages. The problem is wages have been a race to the bottom. So, even if the US could magically get the labor, materials, capital, locations, etc. to produce things, they would be waaaaay more expensive than now. Not that reducing mindless consumption is a bad thing in my mind, but this would still be true of essential goods. This still remains true even with his attempts to undo all kinds of environmental regulations.
I wonder if widescale immunity reset could lead to a resurgence of something like polio which we’ve almost eradicated.
Well, my username is because I got tired of a website only allowing you to set opening all links in new tabs if you had an account, so it might be hard to die by internet tab. I also religiously close tabs as soon as I’m done, so I never have that many open. If we can loosen the rules: drowns by bad genie wish in tab cola.

As an android user (Pixel), I’ve only ever opened AI by accident. My work PC is a mac and it force-reenables apple intelligence after every update. I dutifully go into settings and disable that shit. While summarizing things is something AI can be good at, I generally want to actually read the detail of work communications since, as a software engineer, detail is a teeeny bit important.
Now call that C program from some other program in another language.
“It’s going” for me isn’t a positive response, but I’d say it’s more neutral than anything. I wonder if age and/or region factor in. If my answer is something like “well, I’m still alive” that definitely means nothing good is going on (or, perhaps more accurately, I can’t see the good because of all the bad at that particular moment).
I’m on board for people being required to learn some second language, but to take a way a people’s language is basically cultural genocide. There are so many things buried in the nuance of usage, the grammar, and other things that are lost if the target language doesn’t have those features. As a second language, this doesn’t so much matter, but as a forced primary language (such as in the schools many aboriginal peoples were forced into), it is devastating.
