  • Yeah, it's honestly mostly an issue of me dipping into programming and not properly sticking to it for long enough to wrap my mind around some concepts. I heard all the warnings that "learning to program is usually one of the hardest things someone has accomplished" because of how late we learn it and all the other complications. I also, however, have heard my whole life that I learned fast and picked things up easily. Boy oh boy was one of those messages more useful than the other lol

  • I'm not dead yet, which means there is still more I can do to affect this situation. This is not the time to forfeit.

  • They might not deserve it, but so much can be gained by being more gentle than people deserve. The people who mistreated MLK didn't deserve his kindness, but he gave it anyway and that played a huge part in how influential he was

  • Nah, this isn't the time to ridicule them. They're realizing they've made a mistake. This is a crucial opportunity to say "Yes you did, and that's okay. Let's fix this together"

  • This is a solid use of AI.

    Basically the equivalent of saying "Take a look at these characters and run it against a huge database to see if you find anything similar with documentation of its purpose"

  • For anything that doesn't seem entirely obvious I try...

    I've come to teach myself that I have no idea what "entirely obvious" is.

    This function is 3 lines long why am I boggled by it right now? I should have written a comment

  • Have you tried actually following random strangers with no identifiable credentials unsolicited advice on your health and well-being? Like have you really tried?

    Personally, I think you can get rid of this behavior by punching yourself in your dreams as hard as you can. I don't see anyway that this could harm you and it will instantly solve your problems because I'm a super genius and you should listen to me.

    Don't be that ninny

    I'll do what I want! Lol cheers, PTSD fucking blows. I'm not violent but I always wake up in a panic, no matter what the situation is. Jolt up with a sharp breath every morning and then sit there doing breathing exercises for 20 minutes

  • Microsoft co-authored paper suggests the regular use of gen-AI can leave users with a 'diminished skill for independent problem-solving' and at least one AI model seems to agree

    Jump

  • To agree with you in different words, I would you argue that you can compare it to a calculator. Without the reasoning, a calculator is basically useless. I can tell you that 1.1(22 * 12 * 3) = 871.2 but it's impossible to know what that number means or why it's important from the information there. An LLM works the same way, I give it an equation ("prompt") and it does some math to give me a response which is useless without context. It doesn't actually answer the words in the prompt, it does (at best) guess-work based off the "value" of the text

  • Hello. I'd like to rekindle some of your optimism. In a little tiny corner of America, I know of at least one man with a plan to fix this situation.

    The plan is relatively simple, start networking. You don't need to make friends per se, but relationships are powerful. Once you have established a relationship with enough people with similar issues to you (think coworkers, family members, people in your neighborhood, etc) start creating co-ops/non-profits. Food/housing are your best bets to get a foothold. As each co-op stabilizes, start on the next. Again, food/housing. Food can be done as a mutual fund and evolves into food drives. Housing starts with "you can crash" and eventually evolves into a non-profit expense-sharing apartment complex with a rent cap.

    That last bit might be confusing. A non-profit, expense-sharing apartment complex with a rent cap looks like:

    "Your rent is due, this month it cost us $X to keep the lights on, water running, land owned, etcetera. We have Y tenants, which means we need $X/Y from each tenant. Due to the 30% AGI/$1700 (whichever is lower) (according to average rent in America) rent cap, some high earners may be asked to contribute a slightly higher amount than listed above. If this policy applies to you, a second notification will be sent to you."

    Eventually, combine them. Why shouldn't your tenants eat for free? You just add "bellies full" to that list up there.

    The best part about this plan is that you can give up at literally any point without really fucking with your life too much. The whole plan is basically "make friends and offer to pay their bills until no one needs to pay bills anymore"

  • And that's exactly the thing, the threat model is so different. In gamedev, they're thinking about those networking issues for sure but man oh man are they WAY more worried about RCE in those drivers you mentioned earlier.

    Why? For the same reason Emacs is a text editor, internet browser, and Spotify client. For the same reason that "will it run doom" is even a question. Because their game got hacked before they even opened the first text file to make the game

  • And that's not even to mention security. I'm in a CS course right now, and sure we talk about cyber security and social networking and blah blah blah.

    Go ask a game dev about their security patches and you'll see the WORLD of difference in the two spaces

  • Agreed, and I kind of wish CS and game dev weren't considered so similar. They both program, sure, and those skills can be moved.

    Go ask a Microsoft dev to explain game theory, hotkey availability, and UX. Then, ask a game dev the same questions. You'll get wildly different answers because they wildly different goals

  • Which apps do you allow to give you notifications?

    Jump

  • Every time I have to manually go into my authenticator I think to myself "I should really turn on your notifications so that I can just do this from the top-menu"

    And then I hit my confirmation, close the app and don't think about it again until I manually open it again lol

  • How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?

    Jump

  • I play a lot of idle games in my free time. I really enjoy getting home from work, setting up my machine and watching it work.

    So, I went and got a factory job where I go in, set up my machine and watch it work for 12 hours. I'm really good at my job, too, because I don't hate it

    I got a small dose of this at work. My coworker has a safety incident, almost fucked up her hand. She got made the safety champion the next day, and was concerned about the optics.

    My lead told her "don't worry what they think of you" but brother you are a leader. Public perception is your strongest tool. You absolutely should be worried what we think of you
