  • Yeah but note this is also a huge stereotype. Like with a lot of differences between men and women, the difference isn't that big and there is a huge overlap between men and women. On average men see a little bit less color than women, but this doesn't hold up on an individual level. And with the huge overlap it isn't by definition every woman sees better than a given man. So depending on the individual it's perfectly plausible the man in a couple actually has better color vision than the woman.

  • Back in the day I used to play Vietcong online. Campers were a huge issue in this game, ruining the gameplay for many players. So me and a buddy put "Camp cleanup crew" in our names and we would play on local servers. We learned all the best camping spots and would kill anybody camping there. We did our rounds going from spot to spot killing the campers, leaving the rest of the players alone. Sometimes a camper would get one of us, but as they usually had the sniper rifle, they were reloading when the other of us rounded the corner.

    I'm not sure it really helped anything, but I'd like to think so. We had a lot of fun, that's for sure.

    A couple of months after the game had a huge outbreak of cheaters, some funny (changing their player model into a tank or something like that). Most not funny, becoming invincible, having infinite ammo and no-clip/fly mode. The game was dead within weeks with all the servers shutting down because it became unplayable.

  • Please note being colorblind doesn't mean everything is in gray, that's only in very rare cases and isn't the case for dogs.

    Most eyes see color by having cells that are sensitive only to certain wavelengths of light. This is normally a bell curve, which means a those cells are sensitive to a larger part of the spectrum. There can also be overlap in the spectrum different cells are sensitive to.

    The concept of color isn't a physical thing, the cells just respond to parts of the spectrum. The brain however interprets those signals and assigns concepts to those signals. This is what we call color. At a young age we teach our children if you see this signal we call this red, this signal we call blue etc. Because this only happens in the brain this is somewhat subjective and we can have colors that aren't directly related to a wavelength of color (like magenta, but also stuff like white, black and metallic colors for example). This is also why we can trick our brains to see a color, just by mixing around some signals. This is how stuff like monitors, TVs and colored led lights work, they just emit enough energy in the right parts to trick our brains into thinking it's a certain color. Back in the day we didn't do this very well, which lead to "harsh" light, which looked right on a glance but caused headaches and fatigue or even pain when looking at it for a long time.

    There are different kinds of color blindness and to different degrees. Online are simulators where you can see how people (or dogs in this case) view the world. There are also animals that are sensitive to a greater range of the spectrum, in their eyes they would think we were the colorblind ones. So colorblind doesn't usually mean literally can't see any colors. In reality a lot of people are slightly colorblind and would never notice it. It's like the stereotypical discussion of the wife wanting to paint the wall eggshell instead of off-white and the man not being able to see a difference between those two.

  • What are you talking about? You can get both solid and stranded cable on spool. Depending on the standard you might be required to terminate into a patch panel or jack, but you can get just about any cable on a spool you might want.

  • Yeah those job hoppers are the worst. You can always tell right away what kind of person those are. I've had to work with a "senior" dev who had 15 years of experience and to be honest he sucked at his job. He couldn't do simple tasks, didn't think before he started writing code and often got stuck asking other people for help. But he got paid big bucks, because all he did his entire career was work somewhere for 2-3 years and then job hop and trade up. By the time the company figured out the dude was useless, he went on to the next company.

    Such a shitty attitude, which is a shame because he was a good dude otherwise. I got along with him on a personal level. And honestly good on him for making the most he can, fuck the company. But I personally couldn't do that, I take pride in my work.

  • Agreed. I wanted to test a new config in my router yesterday, which is configured using scripts. So I thought it would be a good idea for ChatGPT to figure it out for me, instead of 3 hours of me reading documentation and trying tutorials. It was a test scenario, so I thought it might do well.

    It did not do well at all. The scripts were mostly correct but often in the wrong order (referencing a thing before actually defining it). Sometimes the syntax would be totally wrong and it kept mixing version 6 syntax with version 7 syntax (I'm on 7). It will also make mistakes and when I point out the mistake it says Oh you are totally right, I made a mistake. Then goes on to explain what mistake it did and output new code. However more often than not the new code contained the exact same mistake. This is probably because of a lack of training data, where it is referencing only one example and that example just had a mistake in it.

    In the end I gave up on ChatGPT, searched for my testscenario and it turned out a friendly dude on a forum put together a tutorial. So I followed that and it almost worked right away. A couple of minutes of tweaking and testing and I got it working.

    I'm afraid for a future where forums and such don't exist and sources like Reddit get fucked and nuked. In an AI driven world the incentive for creating new original content is way lower. So when AI doesn't know the answer, you are just hooped and have to re-invent the wheel yourself. In the long run this will destroy productivity and not give the gains people are hoping for at the moment.
