  • Replit CEO on AI breakthroughs: ‘We don’t care about professional coders anymore’

    Jump

  • You wouldn't even have to reach as far as malware. All software has bugs. To think that AI will produce perfect bugfree code because "it's a computer" is laughable. So inevitably there will be a need to debug the code, across servers, filesystems, databases, APIs, you name it. In tens if not hundreds of thousands of lines of code, which might even be compiled. Surprise, an LLM can't do that.

  • As a developer I always enjoy asking these clowns why anybody should buy their products when AI will soon allow consumers to build these apps themselves, which is just a logical progression if you don't need coders to create software.

    I know of course that this isn't going to happen anytime soon. It's wishful thinking from their part and it shows a complete lack of understanding both what LLMs can and cannot do and what it takes to design and implement anything bigger than a batch script.

    Edit: I also can't help but feel personally offended whenever some corporate drone gloats about replacing developers. It didn't happen with low-code, it didn't happen with no-code and it won't happen with AI. But it hurts every time.

  • Anyone else already exhausted by 2025?

    Jump

  • Probably, but the headline will start with "US invades“ or "US demands“ or something along the line. Filtering out anything that starts with "Trump" is safe

  • Donald Trump has gone silent on working class cost of living issues

    Jump

  • Trump going silent is indeed newsworthy. If only he would go silent on all the other topics as well.

  • Zuckerberg calls for "repopulation" of "cultural elite class"

  • I just tried to search for a blocklist. Not easy to find. This one looks promising though. There is also a link to another repo containing subdomains (which should not be needed but could be more recent)

    Please verify and use at your own risk. I haven't tested it yet.

  • Please, for the love of God, just stop giving him attention

    Jump

  • I don't think my disinterest in most of the things that fall out of Trumps mouthhole is a sign of denial. Most of these are outright lies, baseless accusations, exaggerations, narcissism, and pure hatred. I'm not obliged to let this affect my life. I'm also an EU citizen and as such I have a natural distance to US politics. (I know that the orange turd's actions have grave consequences for EU citizens too, to be clear, and this is something I can't ignore)

    Jump

  • The difference for me personally is if news articles start with “Trump says“ or with "USA does“. I am very much done with the former, just to keep my mental health intact.

    What's the "dark side" of the industry you work in?

    Jump

  • Could you elaborate on that?

  • YouTuber LegalEagle sues PayPal over 'sleeping leech' Honey extension | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I just checked the original video. It works a little bit differently than plain URL replacement. They open another tab in the background and then send a manipulated URL to get the affiliate cookie set to their own. Guess it's for the courts to decide if that is a legal practice or not. But to me it seems that the malicious extension sends a manipulated URL to the server pretending to do that on user's behalf, without his knowledge. That is classic malware behavior.

  • It's more than that, at least from a EU perspective. Don't know what is legal in the US, but manipulating URLs in an obviously malicious way and without the user's explicit knowledge and consent would be highly illegal here.

  • Is there a search engine that blocks websites known to create low effort/AI generated articles?

    Jump

  • I don't know. Maybe Google is actively limiting results for Startpage. When I don't find what I'm looking for in Startpage I switch to Google and boom, adequate search result. I refuse to permanently go back to Google though.

  • I'm using Startpage too, but I have a feeling that the search result quality had a massive drop lately.

  • It has been two years since the release of ChatGPT. How has it impacted your work or personal life? What changes have you experienced, and do you see it as a positive or negative influence

    Jump

  • I think you're absolutely right, but in our company this will turn out to be shortsighted. Because we would actually need some creativity to do better in order to save our jobs.

    Jump

  • Some of my coworkers show me their chatGPT generated drivel. They seem to be downright proud of that, like they would be gaming the system by using chatGPT instead of using their own head. However I think their daily work seems to consist of unnecessary corpo crap and they should really be fired and replaced with chatGPT.

  • Fox News host gives Trump voters 1 huge reality check: ‘Let’s be realistic’

    Jump

  • You're right that regard. I was simplyfing the matter by only using wages as the primary factor. Of course it is a combination of factors which drive production costs, many of which you just explained. However, the end result is the same: Building products on shore is expensive. Someone has to pay the price.

  • Musk wants to abolish consumer agency that has been a ‘model of efficiency’

    Jump

  • I remember last time Trump was in office. There were massive tariffs on european products as well. There are no communist countries in the European Union. Trump and his gang openly push the "America first" narrative and that very obviously means that every other country in the global market is under attack, even those who were traditionally viewed as allies. Communism is not the issue here.

    We'll see if the US manages to bully the world into submission but I have my doubts. A free global market is bound by capitalist mechanics. If the US is not an attractive trade partner the export profits will be made elsewhere.

    Jump

  • I very much doubt that tariffs and pissing off basically everyone outside if the US will help a goal of a global free market.

  • Fox News host gives Trump voters 1 huge reality check: ‘Let’s be realistic’

    Jump

  • You'll be surprised how expensive everything is to build if you pay domestic wages instead of buying things dirt cheap from other countries where wages are low due to slave-like working conditions. This is probably what Trump wants to establish in the US, but when other factors like housing, food etc are already way more expensive than they are in those countries, this creates a poverty hellscape for y'all. The result will be that people can't even afford to live at the standard of a chinese factory worker. Enjoy.
