  • AI Software Development – What Does The Data Say?

    Jump

  • I wasn't implying that LLM's have damaged the science or statistics of forecasting. I was implying that they could have degraded the software at any point in the chain from data collection device firmware, to ingestion pipelines, to the app on your device; perhaps even impacting the meteorologists ability to perform quality work themselves.

    Except maybe in the US due to the DOGE debacle - but even then, why fuck with it?

    Changing ANY data source will always have some degree of impact on ALL statistical modeling that utilises it. Global meteorologists have depended on data captured from NASA/NOAA satellites in some capacity since the 1970's, by virtue of Americas lead in the space race and soft power in offering this data freely to everyone since the 1970's.

    DOGE/Fascist crimes specifically targeted government scientific institutions and their ability to operate.

  • Yeah I was gonna add the weather part could be entirely explained by climate change and fascisms war on science, but forgot.

    I'd never heard of the 5G impact, so thanks for that. I consider it unlikely unless there were a significant change in 5G spectrum usage during the last year. 5G has covered most Australian major cities since 2021, and 5g coverage is essentially non-existent outside of populated areas (90% or more of Australia).

    Weather forecasting is actually one area where AI should far exceed what humans could ever possibly achieve without it. It is impossible for humans to process and adapt to the changing patterns across hundreds or thousands of variables interacting with each other in real time.

  • It's obvious if you actually use software beyond the average literacy of a talking chimp. I use hundreds of apps across iphone, mac, and linux os's. Literally none of them have noticeably increased in quality, stability, or feature-set beyond their average between 1-5 years ago.

    Mac and iphone appear to have more bugs and shittier quality control than at any other point in the last decade.

    Quality software is getting harder and harder to find thanks to all the slop-abandonware being promoted by slop-content and slop-SEO on slop-enshittified search engines.

    I notice far more idiocracy-grade errors in digital content, cx, business processes, product listings, etc than ever before.

    Weather forecasts have gone to dogshit in the last 2 years. Even same-day forecasts can shift on a dime unpredictably. It's at the point where I check 3 apps. Until this year, I never had a time where I woke up to 0% chance of rain and sunny, then looked outside to see rain. Not a sun shower. A rainy day hour-long downpour.

    Auto-generated subtitles are great for content that was never going to receive human attention, but they're clearly being used to replace humans. At least once a week I notice a major contextual error that completely alters the perception of the line/scene, and there's no way to submit corrections.

    Art, culture, and knowledge are being actively corrupted, bastardized, and destroyed.

    The future simultaneously sucks while being dumb as all fuck. Complete clown show run by the idiot criminals, rapists, pedophiles, scammers, and thieves.

  • Facebook ads are so hard to block that uBlock Origin stopped filtering them

  • Fair. Better to focus on ads embedded everywhere else. Not much point trying to block the ads once you're inside the ad store.

  • The greed and narcissism of modern consumerist society has given everyone a dog-eat-dog worldview where working together as a species to solve problems, and making minor sacrifices, is "communism". Moral and ethical bankruptcy is "freedom".

    Why plant a tree for future generations when you believe it won't survive the climate in 50 years, or it will be felled to generate value for shareholders?

  • Windscribe: Proton VPN got caught running secret price tests on users, then denied it. Their own code revealed the opposite

  • CEO made the exact same mistake most capitalist "Liberals" make, going all the way back to the Weimar republic and Hitler; believing what fascists say, are acting in good faith, and ignoring their actions; instead of being corrupt criminals and sociopaths who don't care about the meaning of words.

    Jump

  • My entire comment history is filled with criticism of capitalism, and I have a bunch of issues with proton, but this is just sad and not something I care about.

    They are testing what price point is most attractive for NEW customers on a 24 month intro offer. Both of these offers revert to the standard price after 24 months.

    Windscribe, as a 5 eyes based VPN, is not trustworthy, and posting "gotchas" like this makes them even more suspect. Proton is one of the only providers that offer a permanently free VPN. Windscribe has no free option.

    Personally, I think a moral company would offer permanent discounts to long term customers, but there isn't a single company on earth I'm aware of that actually does that.

  • I dunno about the last few years, but historically Fox's polling was high quality.

    They're not idiots. They're fascist propaganda operatives. They can't wage effective psychological warfare campaigns or rig elections without knowing where to spend their time and effort; what works and what doesn't.

    His job is to sell the big lie of a rigged election if the fascists lose. Their entire purpose is to disinform.

  • The entire American healthcare system is predicated on denying healthcare. That's why it costs twice as much to deliver a crime against humanity.

    Is Trump and the current crop of nazis the worst? Yes! Are 90% of all D's and R's over the last 30 years to blame for the current crime against humanity? Also, yes!

    It turns out that a political class of criminally corrupt corporate whores, only involved for personal financial gain, devoid of all morals and ethics, are incapable of benefiting "the people". Who woulda thought?

  • EU fines Google €890m for competition breaches over search and apps

  • You don't understand. Most of the worlds retirement accounts are heavily invested in these too-big-to-fail corporations. The worlds richest upper percentiles are directly tied to the profitability of the richest thousand corporations. If we start holding these criminals accountable for their crimes, that means less money for you and all the "uncle toms" that help perpetuate the late stage capitalist oligarchy. We couldn't have that now, could we? Remember how much you like money? How much you like products? Who needs ethics or morality when you have money?
