  • 128 Democrats join House Republicans to block AOC, Al Green bid to impeach Trump

    Jump

  • Curious about what time you were referring to when Democrats were better. I suppose they were OK during Obama (ACA was a corporate-friendly solution, there was a huge wealth transfer from the government to financial institutions and corporations, there were tons of drone strikes, and anti-immigration ramped up though). During Clinton they cut social programs significantly, and implemented the draconian three-strikes law.

  • 'We're done with Teams': German state hits uninstall on Microsoft

    Jump

  • Used Teams for a bit. Seemed fine, just used it like any other IRC clone. Didn't use it for video. Windows has a lot of annoyances; death by a thousand cuts. The Windows ecosystem also sucks: to the point where graphic card and mouse driver installers try to install spyware.

  • Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Try to Woo Back Elon Musk

    Jump

  • He absolutely believes in those things, and has shown multiple times he's willing to light his money on fire to support his ideals. He's idealistic (adjacent to the neo-fascist Dark Enlightenment movement), and not just simply motivated by wealth.

  • I think this is only a small part. Interest rates are kinda high. VCs only want to invest in companies with AI exposure because of all the hype. From companies I've interviewed with, offshoring seems to have accelerated dramatically (companies only had or wanted a few US devs to manage larger Indian teams). I've visited career pages of companies working in the business domain I have the most experience with, and all open software positions are exclusively in India.

  • I have over a decade of experience as well. Nobody in my small personal "network" knows anyone that's hiring right now (I hate the fakeness of networking for networking sake, and am not very social, so I don't have much of a network). I've applied to hundreds of job postings over 6 months, interviewed with maybe 6 companies, and rejected usually just because they were also interviewing 10-20 people for the same role, and another person had slightly more experience with a specific part of their stack, or they just liked another person more for whatever reason. I believe all remote job postings get 1000s of applicants, and every one local to me get 100s.

    It all kind of reminds me of when I tried using online dating apps, lol.

  • Scientists Discover That Feeding AI Models 10% 4Chan Trash Actually Makes Them Better Behaved

    Jump

  • Kinda weird GPT4-Chan wasn't referenced. A guy fine-tuned GPT-J on 4chan, then deployed bots to write posts. I guess it was more of a stunt than academic or scientific, but training on 4chan improved the model's performance on a truthfulness benchmark.

  • Google Restricts Android Sideloading—What It Means for User Autonomy and the Future of Mobile Freedom – Purism

    Jump

  • Kinda depressing that all of big-tech seems to have given up "innovating" (finding applications for publicly-funded research), and have become rent-seeking dinosaurs.

  • AI company files for bankruptcy after being exposed as 700 Indian engineers - Dexerto

    Jump

  • but it turns out all that cash was going toward a workforce of over 700 Indian engineers, rather than an AI.

    I doubt much of that cash was going to their workforce. Should have though.

  • Python needs an actual default function

    Jump

  • Guess I just prefer languages that do it this way:

     
        
class AClass {
  var aProp = 0

  fun aMethod() {
    aProp++
  }
}

    Though I suppose confusion and bugs can happen when you do something like:

     
        
class AClass {
  var aProp = 0

  fun aMethod(aProp: Int) {
    // `this.aProp` is needed to access the property
  }
}

  • Python needs an actual default function

    Jump

  • I've always found needing to manually add a class instance parameter (i.e. self) to every object method really weird. And the constructors being named __init__. Not having multiple dispatch is kinda annoying too. Needing to use decorators for class methods, static methods, and abstract classes is also annoying. Now that I think about it, Python kinda sucks (even though it's the language I use the most, lol).

  • US court blocks Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was kind of hoping this fascist government would fail-fast so we could start rebuilding.

  • The Republicans’ Budget Makes No Sense | Congress is trying to preserve the illusion of revenue while cutting taxes.

    Jump

  • I think some people in the admin actually want that. A lot of them are heavily into crypto and other assets such as real-estate, and they won't be able to balance trade as long as the USD is the world's reserve currency.

  • The Republicans’ Budget Makes No Sense | Congress is trying to preserve the illusion of revenue while cutting taxes.

    Jump

  • I think they could just print money to pay instead of defaulting because the debt is denominated in USD (still disastrous though).

  • Trump officials ‘created confrontation’ that led to arrest of Newark mayor

  • There are multiple videos to corroborate.

  • current large models like ChatGPT model more “neurons” than are in the human brain

    I don't think that's true. Parameter counts are more akin to neural connections, and the human brain has something like 100 trillion connections.

  • Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I'd guess it's mostly the AI autocomplete stuff. I.e. you keep on typing until the AI guesses it right then press tab to save keystrokes. LLMs are really bad at making test cases in my experience; they, ironically, can't do the simple but nuanced computations needed to figure out what the output should be given the inputs, or to recognize and test the edge cases.

    Donald Trump Jr. co-founds new private members club, Executive Branch, with a $500,000 fee

  • How are Americans preparing for the Trumpist supply shock?

    Jump

  • I think shortages will be short-lived as companies and retailers just have to suck it up and pay more. People won't be able to buy as much stuff, so layoffs and a recession or depression are likely, but there's not much I can think of doing to prepare for that.

  • FBI arrests judge in escalation of Trump immigration enforcement effort

    Jump

  • Probably because the article is from a business news outlet. I have heard a lawyer talk about the case, saying it was very unusually for her to be arrested for such charges (Leeja Miller I believe; not really a journalist, just a youtuber).
