Managers usually love to say they, too, coded back in the day, but they didn’t, they wrote some small scripts and thinks everything is easy like that so why not use AI, and why is it taking long to fix that bug?!
To be fair, some of us were real developers with real experience; you just don’t tend to hear us making claims about how easy dev work is and how AI is going to take over all the coding.
The comment I replied to wasn’t cheering on a murderer.
The comment I replied to was trying to convey that an impoverished person may feel like the reward money for turning in a murderer outweighs any moralizing over the murder itself. That the dollar figure could be literally life changing and they may feel they have no option but to turn them in.
And people downvoted that. Hence my shaken faith in people’s ability to empathize.
The downvotes on this really make me question my faith in humanity.
“He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time.”
Really?
Fox “News” person and Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense.
Jesus it’s uncanny.
He’s being handed the keys to a government position allowing him to make decisions that will impact American lives, potentially with impacts to others as well; for the first time ever caring about what he thinks is actually wise.
I was also born in ‘84; the 90’s were pretty rad though for a kid so the doom and gloom didn’t really start until around 9/11 for me.
I mean, ATP has only been around for two years, mastodon has been around for 8 years with 6 years of development on AP.
Development takes time, I feel like “show it to me now or it’s a lie” is a poor take.
Yeah this is still true as far as I know. Honestly this is probably what allowed BS to gain a foothold; I like mastodon too but asking new users to pick a server was always going to be a source of adoption friction.
Well we need to Fill The Swamp right?
The Manhattan Project? Really? We’re just openly comparing Trump initiatives to wartime efforts to create weapons of cataclysmic power? An initiative that changed global politics by further pushing it into fear?
Putting all that aside, a project that would have cost $27 BILLION dollars today? That’s “government efficiency”?
It’s so stupid I can’t even find it funny.
No kidding, I had a brief moment where I hated him slightly less but then I remembered all the tangible harm he has done and it went away.
“F*** unity… We have the votes. And they tried to kill Trump,” he said in another expletive-laden post, referring to Democrats.
Is someone going to tell him?
I love this. Full stop.
We need more clean, minimal design like this across the web.
Yeah I’ve been a Kagi subscriber since they opened up. My normal usage is perplexity when I want details about a topic summarized and Kagi when I am looking for a website.
Kagi also has some ethical concerns; like a shitty attitude towards compromises to support human safety (refusing to add suicide prevention links comes to mind) but the perplexity guy just took it to another level.
I assume that they’re still benefiting from your use via analytics and training data.
Damn. I liked Perplexity. Sucks to delete it, but this guy can fuck directly off.
Good job, bees. Have one of all my pollen on me.
ITT: people absolutely refuse to accept that accidents happen—even to smart people—and the consequences can be mitigated through non-knowledge-based precautions.
I refuse to keep a round just stored in the chamber. In fact, I think it is incredibly stupid and irresponsible to do so. But, like, just put a fucking magazine disconnect in there too, just in case I make a mistake eventually.
