  • A whole list? That sounds like it would take somewhere between 3 seconds and 6 hours. Who has that kind of time?

  • Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates

  • The most important aspect is motivation to improve and do cool shit. That can, also, be said about a lot of professions. The best thing you can do is to find what is most interesting to you and spend at least a few hours a week learning about it or engaging with it. It could be new features of a language you know, a programming methodology that is new to you, learning about/contributing to a FOSS project you like, or anything else.

    School and work will almost definitely force you to engage with the parts of development you don't like, as well will give you an opportunity to engage with the parts of development you do like. It's on you to keep yourself engaged and improving in your skills.

  • The AI company Perplexity is complaining their bots can't bypass Cloudflare's firewall

  • I think part of the issue is that it does act more like a search engine crawler than a traditional user. A lot of sites rely on real human traffic for revenue (serving ads, requests to sign up for Patreon, using affiliate links, etc) that gets bypassed by these bots. Hell in some cases the people running the sites are just looking for interaction. So while there is a spike in traffic, and potentially cost, the people running these sites aren't getting the benefit of that traffic.

    Basically these have the same issues as the summaries that Google does in their search results but, potentially, have much larger impact on the host's bandwidth

  • Meta appoints anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor

  • It's already here. I know someone who drank the Flavor-Aid and within the past year he's starting using the T-slur and blamed Somalis when I offhandedly asked why traffic was so bad in a certain part of town (while there is a high Somali population here, the traffic problem is 100% poor city planning).

    So fucking weird hearing that come out of the mouth of the Commie artist I used to go to punk shows with.

  • Im going to assume you're not trying to be an asshole here and don't really understand.

    Yes, most of us know that this is hyperbole. We understand that non-ADHD folks aren't robots and generally have an understanding of what social interaction for people without ADHD looks like.

    Its the degree to which this effects us that is in play. When it comes to most things with ADHD if you read it and it sounds like something that everyone experiences just be aware that folks with ADHD experience it to a debilitating level.

    It isn't that other people don't get sidetracked or go on tangents when telling a story, it's that ADHD folks struggle to or are unable to tell a concise story. Even if we've practiced and rehearsed it 1000 times. It's common for us to clarify something multiple times because we've forgotten what we've already told you or start in what seems like the middle of a conversation because we're unaware that you're lacking context. It's common for us to start explaining something, completely forget what we're talking about half way through, and just keep talking and hope we somehow answer the original question. It can be legitimately difficult to have conversation on a specific topic.

    To the best of my understanding, this can be explained by the fact that most of us have a very limited working memory and struggle to pass information between working, short term, and long term memory. Often, we've quite literally forgotten what we were talking about and are using context clues to keep going.

    edit: Noticed that I missed a few words/had a partially rewritten sentence. I feel like I accidentally proved my point somewhat.

  • I don't really like associating these people with the concepts presented in the Bible. Their understanding of Jesus, to me, feels about on par with a Republican political candidate's understanding of Rage Against The Machine.
