  • I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings

    Jump

  • They're very cool and intricate indeed. But, as someone who grew up on a farm and is pretty familiar with combines: you're drastically underestimating the engineering challenges in computers and space travel.

  • Alchemy is so hot right now.

    Jump

  • I'm not really familiar with the proposed scale of fusion plants, but how do you get to 120t/day? The paper says the theoretical gold output is 2t/GWth/year.

  • technical debt

    Jump

  • I've always been uncomfortable, honestly, with calling software developers "engineers". Partly that's because it's actually illegal to call a non-PEng role an "engineer" in some jurisdictions (most of Canada), but I think this comment is an excellent point of distinction to make between PEng and other roles.

    Legal responsibility along with regulatory requirements. There's a reason everyone* trusts elevators and airplanes but shouldn't trust most software.

  • Bitter feud ensues after landlord's failed attempt to raise tenants' rent 65%

    Jump

  • Her story with her in-laws gets a little sympathy, right up until she's complaining that the tenant is doing all these things to her and she "didn't do anything".

    You served him illegal rent increase notices and you tried to evict him! That's not nothing! All the tenant has done is get the regulator in the loop, and the regulator has repeatedly said, "yeah, you can't do that." Flawed as they sometimes are, we have laws like these for a reason.

  • AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output

    Jump

  • And I ask you - if those same trillions of dollars were instead spent on materially improving the lives of average people, how much more progress would we make as a society? This is an absolutely absurd sum of money were talking about here.

  • AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output

    Jump

  • A lot of LLM hype is wrapped up in how well it can write code. This hype is being used by corporations to justify pouring mind boggling amounts of money into the tech in the hopes that they can lay off all their staff.

    I reserve the right to hate this state of affairs and enjoy seeing every headline that shows just how much of a pipe dream it is.

  • Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage

    Jump

  • It has to be more nuanced than "self-published", otherwise everything EA craps out is "indie".

    The definition of "indie game" is a case where there is no easy, clear line to draw in the sand.

  • Cloaca time!

    Jump

  • Wait, breathing?!

  • What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?

    Jump

  • I saw one where the program ran a busy loop on startup to calculate how long it took. Then it used that as an iterations-to-seconds conversion for busy loops between scheduled actions.

  • Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits

    Jump

  • Not even "can't afford". They're rolling in money. They merely made the calculation that paying lip service to the problem (and farming their user base for even more data to leverage, count on it) could cost less than future lawsuits.

  • Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits

    Jump

  • With what money? They only made $1.3 billion this quarter! Won't anyone think of the shareholders?!

  • Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits

    Jump

  • I like this option best, tbh.

  • Content warning

    Jump

  • Netflix has that warning on every episode, so ¯(ツ)/¯

  • Living his best life.

    Jump

  • If they keep it up, I feel like they're rapidly going to hit a generational impasse of nobody picking up even during daytime. I am very reluctant to answer numbers I don't recognize, if it's important they can leave a voice-mail.

  • Living his best life.

  • Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

    Jump

  • 100%. Unit conversion is a solved problem, and it is impossible for an AI to be faster or more accurate than any of the existing converters.

    I do not need an AI calculator, because I have no desire to need to double check my calculator.

  • New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds

    Jump

  • Pretty sure they're using "design" to mean "aesthetics" in that sentence. I do think we need to less often use "design" to refer specifically to aesthetics or graphic design; every object and system that humans have made are designed.

  • A major airline is going to make you pay to recline your seat

    Jump

  • Please explain how this saves them money? All I see is finding ways to upcharge customers for what used to be standard options, while maybe cramming in one more row of passengers.

  • 'We can no longer build what people can afford'

    Jump

  • Exactly. These condos are over $1000/sq ft. Completely out of reach unless you or your parents are already rich. I don't get how this surprises anyone there.
