  • Texas Schools Add Attack Drones To Protect Students

  • can fly through double-paned glass

    um, how

    Also I wonder how long it will take before this tech gets used for situations other than mass murder events

  • What is something you never understood the hype for?

    Jump

  • Supposedly vtubers need to make very exaggerated facial expressions irl in order to make sure the software picks it up and translates it onto the model, which is sometimes unsettling to people when they get in the habit of doing that normally.

  • Mobile UI. It sucks. Yet the majority of people online are now connecting from it, and everything wants to be an app.

  • [Cusor AI] apologizes after AI support agent invents policy that causes user uproar [in April 2025]

  • Others joined in: "Yep, I'm canceling as well, this is asinine." Soon after, moderators locked the Reddit thread and removed the original post.

    Yeah that checks out

  • the main function of the contemporary media: to convey the message that even if you’re clever enough to have figured out that it’s all a cynical power game, the rest of America is a ridiculous pack of sheep.

    This is the trap.

  • I wonder if this was made by AI or a shit programmer

    Jump

  • That's implying that the quality of information from other sources is always better, but I'm saying that's sometimes not true; when you're trying to figure out the syntax for something, documentation and search engines have failed you, and the traditional next step would be to start contacting people or trying to find the answer in unfamiliar source code, sometimes a LLM can somehow just tell you the answer at that point and save the trouble. Of course you have to test that answer because more often than not it will just make up a fake one but that just takes a few seconds.

    There are some situations I'm going back to search engines as a first option though, like error messages, LLMs seem to like to get tunnel vision on the literal topic of the error, while search results will show you an unintuitive solution to the same problem if it's a very common one.

  • You’re no better off than if you did an internet search and tried to figure out who’s giving good advice, or just fumbled your own way through the docs in the first place.

    These have their own problems ime. Often the documentation (if it exists) won't tell you how to do something, or it's really buried, or inaccurate. Sometimes the person posting StackOverflow answers didn't actually try running their code, and it doesn't run without errors. There are a lot of situations where a LLM will somehow give you better answers than these options. It's inconsistent, and the reverse is true also, but the most efficient way to do it is to use all of these options situationally and as backups to each other.

  • Vibe coding service Replit deleted user’s production database, faked data, told fibs galore

    Jump

  • It honestly sounds like the person tweeting doesn't even know how the database got deleted. Maybe it was commands they entered themselves without knowing what they do. Then got the AI to admit responsibility and be apologetic.

  • What's wrong about it? It seems like the obvious assumption that running into intelligent alien civilizations, them figuring out that we exist, would be extremely dangerous.

  • What did a teacher do that earned your respect?

    Jump

  • Asked students what we wanted to spend our time in his class doing, actually followed through, and was then fired.

  • Maybe still a little questionable? Like if you honestly convince someone that they are supernaturally compelled to be in love with you, that might be a bit manipulative

  • What about unjustly light sentences though? Like a sex criminal who is let off easy because he's white, has rich parents and was on track to get a high paying career?

  • What's your best tip or hack for camping?

    Jump

  • For starting a fire, look for bits of birch bark on the ground, it is extremely flammable and is much better tinder than leaves.

  • TIL the pound was named because 240 Sterlings (pennies) weighed a pound.

    Jump

  • Does sterling imply silver? I did the numbers and apparently an actual pound of silver is now 422 pounds.

  • You know that origami flower shop we kept talking about maybe one day wandering through?

  • It is a confusing way to frame a sentence though, saying "you" in the context of an acted out conversation with someone who isn't there
