Another guess just based on the terms is it could be a method that throws your json object into a black hole and returns the version of the object that is stretched out to infinity.

Though that’s just an optical illusion, in reality the object would be ripped apart by the gravity or extreme radiation, depending on whether it was a small or large black hole.

Your guesses are more useful, but I can’t fathom what goes on in the mind of JavaScript devs.

Maybe the client’s interpreter’s autocorrect will fix it at run time.

Sounds like someone bullshitted their way through school to get a technical degree, not realizing that their bullshitting depended on the person they were bullshitting not being good or confident with technology, which gets rarer when you go into a technical career.

Haha I have also done an interview where the person had a friend in the room feeding them answers, though this one must have assumed his mic was worse than it was and didn’t mute at all, so we could hear the mumbling of answers. To make it even funnier, though, their friend wouldn’t have gotten hired either because none of their answers were good.

I kinda wanted to tell them they should find a smarter friend to help them cheat at interviews but instead just thanked them for their time and ended the interview.

Though tbh, I wasn’t really impressed by any of the new grads from the schools we were looking at. Some of them made me wonder if they learned anything at all about software development during their time at school.

Also acceptable: JavaScript? Ok shoot me.

Ironically, LLMs are pretty good for helping optimize non-LLM workflows. Brainstorming a list of things that already exist is something they do well. And even if they hallucinate some entries, just move on to the next one. And having them help with one time setup or debugging specific issues is way more efficient than having a workflow that involves them regularly.

Yeah, I gotta say that while shit is looking pretty bad on the corporate producer side of things, this society/system has bred a ton of entitled consumers that think their desires are important to anyone that can make or do things.

Even if you’re paying someone for something, that doesn’t mean you can dictate what they do or how they do it. Or even that they need to offer you what they willingly offer others. There’s some people where no amount of money would make dealing with them worthwhile, let alone what they are willing to pay for special treatment.

But with FOSS, there isn’t even the incentive of money greasing the interaction. It’s just pure entitlement. No one owes you anything just because you’re interested in their project or skills.

Now show me Alien if it had been released in 1999 instead.

Aborts after 5 seconds, realizing the entertainment value will be pretty much entirely laughing at the ridiculous things it got wrong which is already old

I believe it is an attempt to use an argument that they will care about. You could write a brilliant piece about how that many bots hurt culture and society but if the ones you want to convince don’t gaf about either of those, they probably won’t even read what you have to say, let alone change anything because of it.

Or, more likely, they won’t even see anything here, at which point that comment becomes more of a “they aren’t even very good at what they want to be good at”.

Like from my pov, the top of the corporate world doesn’t just not care about those things but is actively trying to destroy them because they think they’ll do better in a world where none of those things are as they currently are.

Oh, how long until an AI ends up swatting people. There will probably even be different categories:

1. Legit swat scenario, wrong address (or otherwise incorrect details make it turn tragic)
2. Caller deliberately trying to swat innocent victim, AI goes along with it and adds credibility (not that humans seem to take away much credibility, so maybe this one shouldn’t really be a black mark for AIs if it does happen)
3. AI just misinterprets a caller’s description, deploys swat team
4. AI doesn’t trust the caller’s description, deploys swat team (anyone ever seen an agent start suspecting they were in an adversarial situation where something was injecting things into the context? I have)
5. AI uses dispatching tool incorrectly, accidentally deploys swat team

While we’re talking about glasses technology, it seems like oil resistant coatings have finally gotten really good. My eyebrows are pretty oily and would smear on the top middle corners of my glasses all the time. But my latest pair just has a tiny bit of smudging there. I can press them against my face and wiggle my eyebrows right against them and it’s still only a bit smudged.

To answer your question, it’s because whoever controls these technologies going in to the cyberpunk dystopia will have a lot of power in it. And the ones inventing it aren’t really thinking about whether they’ll have the supporting power to hold on to control of it.

It’s not just money but also expertise required to build, run, and maintain the fabs, which are each different specialized skills (or more accurately an umbrella of different specialized skills). While these people certainly exist, I don’t think there’s a large pool of them waiting to get hired. And with memory production being so concentrated in Taiwan and South Korea, it will be difficult to poach workers because (as I understand) both cultures are big on loyalty to the nation.

That’s not to say I disagree that anyone else should try to get into the memory fab game (or chip fab in general) as I think the market needs more players, but it’s easier said than done, even if you have a ton of money to throw at the problem. Look at Intel, they struggled on the fab side and already had fabs going as a leading chip producer. Or AMD, who sold their fabs because they were struggling to keep them profitable.

Though I also think that governments would be smart to subsidize (or outright socialize) chip fabs, as depending on others to make these is giving up on a lot of economic power (which can affect military power, so spreading chip production out more could increase world stability).

I have a new interpretation for the second amendment: it is a right to bear arms. As in bears, the animals, all americans have the rights to their arms. Not to like remove them or anything, more like intellectual property rights, as in you have the right to create, possess, distribute, sell, relicense, modify, make derivatives of, reverse engineer, request the design schematics of, and repair any art or technology based on bear arms.

They’d have a case for vandalism, since the overhead cameras will show who is at each camera as it gets scratched. If someone is watching in real time, they could catch someone doing this before they leave the store.

It will always be an arms race. If someone develops a new style that doesn’t look like AI, then it’s only a matter of time before an AI model can generate that style.

And the future I see for this arms race is eventually it will be better than humans at producing art that doesn’t look like AI.

I’m at the point where I think AI generated shit should be judged on its own merit rather than for whether or not it’s AI because eventually we won’t be able to tell from other factors and any attempts will end up hurting humans more than the AIs (because they have no feelings to be hurt and will just continue while some portion of the humans will get discouraged and stop bothering to try).

Plus, at least with programming, saying code sucks because it’s AI generated is weak. If a code submission is shit, there will be technical reasons that it is shit that have nothing to do with who (or what) wrote it.

That’s the reddit sub. Apparently he’s got r/linuxsucks101 there. The image from this OP looks like Lemmy.

That thread started out looking like the uncanny valley but is definitely satire as it goes on.

And I corrected it to Gerudo and started playing Gerudo Valley in my head.

Though if I just repeat the first phrase n times before continuing with the rest, I can make it more like a Gerudo Valley Sandstorm.

He’s taking it as seriously as some people take their jobs.

Ah shit, I’m dripping implication all over the place.

Maybe a dumb one.
