  • There was also the whole Godwin thing (that basically said that any online argument would, over time, have a higher chance of someone accusing the other party of or making a comparison to nazisim), which eventually evolved to "if you mention hitler or nazis in an online debate, you automatically lose", which was pretty stupid because sometimes it is relevant (obvious today).

    Though today I wonder if that was pushed in bad faith by people who wanted to avoid nazi comparisons because they were apt, so pushed that pseudologic bs that Godwin's original statement got perverted into. And then it was picked up by the multitude of people who just want an "I win" button for arguments.

  • Don't forget that people who can make the decisions can also bet.

  • I dunno, I find it hard to respect laws intending to protect people from their own choices, especially when the majority of people can enjoy the thing (or just ignore it on their own) without any problems.

    Try to idiot-proof the world and the world just comes up with a better idiot.

  • Thinking you can say something and avoid it being challenged by adding shit like "anything you can argue against it doesn't matter" is the insufferable thing on display here. Almost as insufferable as another person chiming in about how insufferable those who won't just take that at face value are.

  • No Microslop for me

    Jump

  • Apparently the win 12 rumours were just a hoax. Even Microslop isn't that out of touch (at this point in time).

  • Trump’s call for allied deployment to strait of Hormuz meets muted response

    Jump

  • Is that offer still open to friendly nations? As I understand it, they have been mining the strait, and things just seem a bit chaotic to mine it in a way that leaves a safe and known path, plus how to communicate that path to those they want to let through while denying those they don't. Unless the minea are remote instead of proximity, but I think part of the point was to make the embargo passive so that carpet bombing the area wouldn't be an effective counter.

  • Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive

  • Stop when you feel like it, just like any other verification method. You don't really prove that there are no problems with software development, it's more of a "try to think of any problem you can and do your best to make sure it doesn't have any of those problems" plus "just run it a lot and fix any problems that come up".

    An LLM is just another approach to finding potential problems. And it will eventually say everything looks good, though not because everything is good but because that happens in its training data and eventually that will become the best correlated tokens (assuming it doesn't get stuck flipping between two or more sides of a debated issue).

  • They might have thought they could hold the world economy hostage to force other counties to act. Or the whole wanting things to get better is an act and the economic disruption is the whole point.

  • Dog shit is one that I'm on the fence about. I guess on pavement, it's pretty useless, but on dirt, that shit nourishes and keeps the cycle going. So I have mixed feelings about sealing it away in plastic and sending it to a landfill with enough other poison that the nutrients probably stay out of the cycle for a while.

  • Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive

    Jump

  • It helps in the sense of once you've looked at code enough times, you can stop really seeing it. So many times I've debugged issues where I looked many times at an error that is obvious in hindsight but I just couldn't see it before that. And that's in cases where I knew there was an issue somewhere in the code.

    Or for optimization advice, if you have a good idea of how efficiency works, it's usually not difficult to filter the ideas it gives you into "worthwhile", "worth investigating", "probably won't help anything", and "will make things worse".

    It's like a brainstorming buddy. And just like with your own ideas, you need to evaluate them or at least remember to test to see if it actually does work better than what was there before.

    Guessing I'm not the only one in here that had a similar pathway with video games. Maybe games in general, as chess was similar.

  • Though on that note, I don't think having an LLM review your code is useless, but if it's code that you care about, read the response and think about it to see if you agree. Sometimes it has useful pointers, sometimes it is full of shit.

  • Yeah, they don't do analysis but can fool people because they can regurgitate someone else's analysis from their training data.

    If could just be matching a pattern like "I have a network problem with

    <symptoms>

    . Your issue is

    <problem>

    and you need to

    <solution>

    ." Where the problem and solution are related to each other but the problem isn't related to the symptoms, because the correlation with "network problem" ends up being stronger than the correlation with the description of the symptoms.

    And that specific problem could likely be solved just by adding a description of that process to the training data. But there will be endless different versions of it that won't be fixed by that bandaid.

  • I just never saw it that way. Like there's object as in inanimate thing, or there's object as in object of the sentence, which is just the entity that isn't doing the verb in the sentence, but that doesn't imply they can't be the subject of another sentence or that removing their agency is ok. There's a difference between desiring someone and not caring what they desire.

  • Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars | The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price.

  • It's because those words were sponsored by oil lobbyists and their offshoots. So much of the economy is based on it that it might actually be accurate (not that I think it should be perpetuated even if it would be painful to truly move on from oil).

  • Some common ones: worker, consumer, commuter, fan, voter, reader, viewer, subscriber...

    Edit: sex worker is an interesting one, conceptually. Plenty of people talk about how "wrong" and "coercive" it can be (and they can be right!), but for some reason like to skip over the whole incentive coming from the exact same place as any other work done to make a living. They don't do sexual things for money because people want them to, they do it because they need to pay bills.

    Is anybody else worried about the lack of diverse opinion here?

  • Power tripping on what little bit of power they might hold is a human thing. Not that it isn't despicable, it's just been around longer than the internet has existed, longer than society has existed even, I'd wager. It just used to involve physical power but now it involves social power or just bits on a server that say their account can control what other accounts do.

    The only advantage of Lemmy is that you can get away from an admin abusing their power without leaving the platform entirely, so mods and admins teaming up doesn't mean you can be silenced entirely on the platform like you can on the centralized ones like reddit or twitter.
