  • Democrats don’t get why they’ve lost most working class voters

    Jump

  • I recently read a comment that claimed the Democratic Party was a hobby for old rich white people. It rang true

  • Democrats don’t get why they’ve lost most working class voters

  • This is also my takeaway. Moving to fascistic leaders is just an expression of overwhelming pain.

    It’s similar to Weimar Germany. Shame and economic dislocation are enormously powerful motivators.

    If you’ll give me some rope, I think the Democratic Party has lost their constituency because they have made two errors:

    1. Following Reagan, they tried to chase Republican voters by abandoning working class policies, disenfranchising workers and increasing inequality. Now, older people run the Democratic Party and they fail to see how much the landscape has changed since they were initially elected.
    2. There are not many Democrats that harness anger. Anger is addictive and enthralling. The party instead promotes loyalists, policy wonks, technocrats, and extremely ineffective consultants. This has not paid off but their donors demand this sort of management.

    Dang.

  • Bernie Sanders proposes bill to give the public a 50% stake in AI companies

  • Yeah that’s my point, actually.

  • Marco Rubio Snaps When Told Trump Iran Deal Is Just Obama’s but Worse

    Jump

  • Marco Rubio has a contemptible level of cowardice.

    This is a non sequitur/ad hominem, but here is the debate where Chris Christie, a fellow cunt, handed Rubio his arse.

    Also remember that Chris Christie prepped Trump for his own debates.

    These people should absolutely be imprisoned.

  • Bernie Sanders proposes bill to give the public a 50% stake in AI companies

    Jump

  • True but most of the value of these LLMs comes from ingesting data produced by the public, with a healthy amount of copyrighted data.

    Would you be in favour of class action lawsuits to compensate for the intellectual theft instead?

  • Democrats are already preparing Trump investigations if they retake the House

    Jump

  • This should take the form of a continuous, publicly accessible investigation that only continues rather than is summarised when they retake the House.

    But it isn’t and won’t be.

    It will be a well put, tightly and succinctly presented, work of art of an argument for an additional impeachment and unrealised conviction in the Senate. Just like the Jan 6 Committee.

    They should instead be throwing themselves into the gears of govt., but they will take the long term, conventionally optimal strategy of letting the Republicans make their mistakes.

    America is so, so frustrating in the face of obvious corruption and incipient fascism.

  • Professional software engineers of Lemmy, are code reviews still a thing in the age of "AI" assisted coding?

    Jump

  • The biggest things I can see are:

    • the AI just pumps out text. There’s a bias for producing more code, when something more succinct or terse or a workaround exists
    • the AI has little idea of standards and usually doesn’t have the architectural context in mind. This produces solutions in the local maximum and not the global maximum. Maybe there are other places that feed more context into the model/provide examples that make it better.

    So basically, it writes junior level code which is fine but it needs serious review by someone who has seen better examples. I fight with AI models all the time when they provide snippets because I’ve seen a bunch of different implementations and know how to poke it.

    Also, we should keep in mind that these models are going to get super expensive soon, so the scope of use cases that are worthwhile will drop

  • Software Engineers Say They're Losing the Ability to Code Now That AI Does It for Them

  • Agree completely but I wanted to add: you can also get into an incomprehensible mess without vibing. Just follow the serverless flask tutorial, start writing raw SQL, and away you go!

    I asked Claude today about why a coworker was getting errors and it almost exploded.

  • Trump wants to check on the gold in Fort Knox because ‘they steal a lot’

    Jump

  • No, he will follow the pattern of buying calls on gold beforehand, then detonating a nuke in Ft. Knox so the gold supply is irradiated, making the value of his gold skyrocket.

    This was in a movie once. I think it was called “The President That Couldn’t Slow Down”

  • Kamala Harris wants the DNC to release its autopsy report of the 2024 campaign

    Jump

  • The document says:

    1. Popular policies wouldn’t allow us to maintain a fundraising edge
    2. We lost enthusiasm because of our vigorous defence of Israel
    3. Biden should have dropped out earlier, and there were people aware of the risk of a bad performance in the debate
    4. Harris didn’t do enough to differentiate herself from Biden and the opposition in (yet another) anti-establishment election

  • Chief Justice John Roberts says American public wrongly views the justices as ‘political actors’

    Jump

  • What does he think he’s doing by constantly complaining about this?

    Justices consider their words carefully before speaking. What could possibly be the reason beyond letting off steam… repetitively and publicly?

    Is it to tamp down public criticism of the court? If so, who cares? It won’t work, and they have lifetime appointments.

    Is it out of guilt because the assertion is obviously factually untrue?

    Maybe some of these guys just watch way too much Fox News and conservative media. They’ve been airing grievances just like these outlets. LOOKING AT YOU ALITO

  • It seems more like adults virtue signalling to each other than crafting legislation grounded in reality.

    Everyone knows this was never going to stop kids. It’s weirdly controlling.

    That having been said, if you’re resorting to all the stuff I would have done as a tech-oriented kid to …access Meta products? Then I don’t understand you.
