  • That call out was after the first class, I didn't tell him he was out and said "See you next week". Still, he didn't show up on the other 3 classes, though those were also very rainy days, so I can't say what was the reason he didn't show up again

  • It had its fair share of shit and that gradually increased with time, but LLMs are like a whole new level of flooding everything with zero effort

  • Last November, I gave some volunteer drawing classes at a school. Since I had limited space, I had to pick and choose a small number of 9-10yo kids, and asked the students interested to do a drawing and answer "Why would you like to participate in the drawing classes?"

    One of the kids used chatgpt or some other AI. One of the parts that gave it away was that, while everyone else wrote something like "I want because", he went on with "By participating, you can learn new things and make friends". I called him out in private and he tried to bullshit me, but it wasn't hard to make him contradict himself or admit to "using help". I then told him that it was blatantly obvious that he used AI to answer for him and what really annoyed me wasn't so much the fact he used it, but that he managed to write all of that without reading, and thought that I would be too dumb or lazy to bother reading or to notice any problems.

  • Why can't we go back to small phones?

    Jump

  • I miss the times when I found 5" phones big. Now they just seem small because everything else is pushing 7"

  • If someone were to ask you for a sign you aren't an AI, what would be the first thing about you or your existence/life that you'd cite or point to?

    Jump

  • If I say anything civil, whether right or wrong, they'll think I'm any of the mainstream chatbots. If I speak like a typical 4channer, they'll think I'm elon's AI.

  • It seems anything that isn’t the Unix way of doing things can be questioned.

    I think Unix is the thing that indirectly gets questioned most often, because everyone wants to be on the "right" side of how to unix things (see latest rust in kernel for a very recent example). When I think about it, unix alone feels like a recurring xkcd standards comic

  • And, the next ultra-big step: How would a non-techie figure this shit out?

    They wouldn't, because the people calling the shots in the tech world create UX with a focus on it sucking for everyone

  • TIL that "nginx" is pronounced "engine-x", and not "n-jinx"

  • Did plenty of those back in college. Java server stuff to run with Tomcat

  • If I self host mastodon and matrix, and shutdown the device, when I turn it on again, will it receive all the activity that happened in the meantime?

  • My dummy understanding is that each instance could be considered a "client", in the sense that they're always on the lookout for data from other instances whenever the latter generates new content. Either that or, when one connected user checks what's on a different instance, it downloads to the local cache, ie: if I, from programming.dev, am the first to check this thread, a copy gets saved locally (cache) in the programming.dev server, which might check back on the original source in the case of any edits.

  • Henry, son of Henry and grandson of Symeon, first appears in 1225.[2] He too was rich and owned multiple properties in the city.[1]

    He sold an island to the King

    So, 80 pounds back then was probably pocket change for Henry, son of Henry, grandson of Symeon, ex-owner of an island

  • What is your personal most hated company or corporation?

    Jump

  • Itaú, largest private bank in Brazil. Thanks to a 1995 law, all earnings from stock shares' dividends are tax exempt. They're always lobbying and pushing forward legislation to make the rich richer, to the point that they managed to found, together with other bankers, a political party, Novo, who fiercely defend libertarian economic values and sidestep individual liberties.

    Second would be Microsoft. They took over the computer world in the 90s and didn't pay for their crimes. All they did was try and pretend nothing bad happened and that they totally wouldn't ever do anything similar again, pinkie promise. Nevermind the office2007 standard never fully working on alternative software, nevermind microsoft teams, pay no mind to them buying out github, nevermind their shit being inside pretty much every government around the world. They hold absurd amounts of power.

    Third place goes to all non state owned petrol companies. Thank you for your continuous funding of bogus research against scientific climate facts and, more importantly, in funding assholes the world over to ensure climate change and global warming go full throttle. Fuck you with a hot exhaust pipe.
