  • In college, on the first day of orientation, someone in my class bragged that they wrote 50,000 lines of code for a game that was similar to tic tac toe, emphasizing that he "wrote a lot of code". A TA told him that it wasn't a sign that his program was decent and that it really didn't seem like it should take 50k lines of code to make something as simple as his game.

    He dropped out after the first week of intro to programming.

  • Pretty much, yeah. Except a lot of places put pickles or at least pickle juice and still call it fry sauce. I think thousand island can be more complex, however it's not too different and it's semantics. In my mind, fry sauce is always smooth (and may or may not include pickle juice). Anything else isn't fry sauce. In other words, yes.

  • It's a crime to say this in Utah. Better not answer the next time some missionaries come to your door.

  • The thing about "autonomous AI" is that it isn't what the large, prominent "AI" companies are researching. The money is being dumped into LLM companies for the most part, and LLMs aren't a likely way to get fully autonomous robots.

    I'm not saying that it isn't going to happen, especially because they exist somewhat already (drones and palantir). However, when people think "dumping money into the AI industry", most are thinking of OpenAI, Anthropic and the like, especially since that is actually where the majority of money (and power) is going.

    I personally think 5 years is a stretch, but I hope the AI killbots come for me first if I'm wrong, because I wouldn't want to live on this planet anymore. Also, I'm not sure that this would be a thing in practice, since they could extract labor out of you instead of killing you with robots simply for having a non-registered network device.

  • Yeah, they're just a prick who can't understand that people are trapped here. They cannot understand that the billionaire class intentionally trapped the lower (and much of the middle) class, and think that everyone here is perfectly content with what's happening. So much for class solidarity, funny that they call themselves a leftist.

    They'd rather see the lower class either get murdered one by one in the streets (because unless there's millions of us at once, that's what will happen). They haven't thought very far ahead, and for some reason they think that if the government cracks down on us that it'll cause the collapse of the US. I don't think that's true, and in fact, I think it would only give the feds a tighter grip and allow them to fight additional illegal wars.

    It's interesting to see them be happy that their supposed fellow leftists are losing their right to vote. Not just happy, in fact.. they want left leaning voters to fear voting. Just like Trump and the GOP. Funny how that works.

  • Agreed, but I think most of the Americans here on the fediverse aren't the ones that need to hear that.

  • I have never had an issue with banking apps so long as exploit compatibility mode is enabled for them.

  • My flight tomorrow should be interesting..

  • ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI

  • They just replied:

    What gave you the idea that this was a full rewrite? I moved things around with AI and added postgres support for the queries. Nobody has ever reviewed and tested anything more thoroughly than I did with this branch.

    You are twisting what it actually is. You are assuming something that is not true.

    This makes me think that they didn't review or test it at all, lmao

  • Huh? Where? And how could support of these bills be tied to 'llm bad'?

  • I don't expect to retire.

    Not by choice, if that wasn't clear.

  • Today, a package of a dozen “child online safety” bills is moving forward in the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. The laws, framed as a way to crack down on harmful content and make the internet safer, would force social media companies to enact invasive identity verification measures in order to keep children from accessing online spaces.

  • Yeah. Usually videos like this also make no mention of security implications and how to best secure your setup. It's part of why shodan has so many vulnerable, public facing endpoints owned by individuals.

  • But the Americans sent to fight an illegal war were fine?

  • us-east, classic

  • It gives Assistant (to the) Regional Manager vibes

  • Probably caused by slop generators again I'm guessing

  • I would love to leave tech. Desperately. But I feel that I have no other real skills, and I have a mortgage that I need to pay and a house to maintain. I do have savings, but it would probably only last a year at best.

    I would love to do something outdoors. Like, maybe for WA state's park services. But I've heard that's super competitive and next to impossible to get into without first volunteering for years.

  • Don't remind me..

  • I do like that Kagi has a fediverse search option.
