  • Bank boss sorry after describing workers as 'lower value human capital'

  • It's not even that since they usually end up paying more for AI even when it produces far worse results. The rich just hold a contempt towards the working class and would rather the money they'd use for salaries go to their rich tech company friends in the form of AI-use invoices

  • Two men charged with creating AI-generated porn under new law targeting 'deepfakes'

    Jump

  • No, no, it's only the AI's responsibility when the actor is a poor old corporation that didn't mean to break any silly little laws 😖

    If the actor isn't rich or a mega corporation however, well, that's different and the user should be locked up for good and how dare they sully the good name of the sexual harassment bot the poor old corporation created

  • Stop Using Pull Requests

    Jump

  • I hate having to harass people to review my PRs too but getting rid of them entirely seems insane to me. Most of the issues with pull requests can be sourced more to the size of changes rather than their existence. If you can keep your PRs small enough that someone can review it in 5-10min then things get a lot easier for everyone but deleting the step entirely means nobody is watching what's being submitted

    Like, you might have someone working on something in a new codebase but misunderstanding the architecture or just going in the wrong direction in general and a review is the best way to correct course before getting too far in

  • Even my own code sometimes.

  • That exact chain of events happened to me at my last job and I audibly laughed realising it was my own code. To my own credit though, it was a file I had written four years prior which at that point was more than half my whole career in the past

    Mark Zuckerberg Just Told 8,000 Employees Their Layoffs Are a Line Item in His $145 Billion AI Bill

  • Meta is largely the reason for the current state of the world via their purposeful boosting of alt-right talking points. They've helped incite a genocide ffs. They're not actively on the streets shooting people but this is what the company pushed for

    I'm not American but I am in tech and have been unemployed since January and even though my financial situation is grim, Meta and Palantir are two companies I would never, ever work for or even apply to. There's always plenty of other companies to apply to (which is what I did and I start somewhere tomorrow!)

    Rising Fuel Prices Are Making Return‑to‑Office Mandates Harder to Defend

    Jump

  • My car has been broken for weeks but I haven't bothered fixing it because I can walk to everything I need and own an escooter (and a bike i'm slowly fixing) for anything further. Even my new office is only a 25 minute walk away. I'm not even sure what gas prices are right now and I don't really care

  • I'm so tired of every new software project being some new AI thing

  • Google is discontinuing its free web search index for developers

    Jump

  • Wow, that site makes you buy a subscription to reject tracking. How is that legal?

  • For those who have tried MBin, is it a good Lemmy alternative?

    Jump

  • Thank you for the writeup! I wasn't actually familiar with the C4 project structure and it's cool that Mbin went with thay. I do remember Ernest and how that went down but I was curious about the Monero-pimping stuff. I was digging a bit but I couldn't find any information on that point

  • For those who have tried MBin, is it a good Lemmy alternative?

    Jump

  • but the guy who was mostly responsible for it is a bit of a twat and mostly used it to pimp Monero

    Oh damn, I missed that bit if fedi drama. Is there a writeup of what happened anywhere?

  • Why is a company or person that doesn’t exist physically in Utah at all responsible for adhering to Utah’s laws?

    This line of thinking is dangerous as it allows companies to disregard any sane legislation as long as their servers are located in a "safe" place. A large portion of websites accessible from Canada are served from US servers, for example. American companies ignoring Canadian laws because they don't have Canadian-based servers would be a nightmare

    If a company makes any money off users in a geographic area (which includes ad view revenue), they have to follow the rules there which is a GOOD thing - even if it's ridiculous in this case

    Also endorsing governments selectively blocking websites is just bad for obvious reasons

  • I think it really depends on the work the program does and how effectively it uses caching, concurrency, etc. Something like data serialisation would probably be a lot slower in Python compared to something like handling simple UI event triggers which might only have that 0.001 difference
