    Take your pick from anything that isn't recent and by computer scientists or mathematicians, to call stuff intelligent that clearly isn't. According to some modern marketing takes I developed AI 20 years ago (optimizing search problems for agentic systems); it's just that my peers and I weren't stupid enough to call the results intelligent.

  • I'd welcome actual AI. What is peddled everyday as "AI" is just marketing bullshit. There's no intelligence in it. Language shapes perception and we should take those words back and use them according to their original and inherent meaning. LLMs are not AI. Stable diffusion is not AI. Neural networks trained for a singular task are not AI.

    wichsen Vb. ‘mit Wachs bestreichen’ (15. Jh.), ‘polieren, blank putzen’ (17. Jh.), ‘prügeln’ (18. Jh.), Lautvariante des von Wachs (s. d.) abgeleiteten Verbs wächsen, bei der Umlaut-e in i übergegangen ist. wächsen, in einzelnen Mundarten bewahrt, wird in der Literatursprache von wichsen verdrängt. Dazu gewichst Part.adj. ‘schlau, gerissen’, verwichsen Vb. ‘verprügeln’ (beide 19. Jh.). – Wichse f. ‘Schmierfett, Putzmittel, Prügel’ (18. Jh.), Rückbildung aus dem Verb. In der Studentensprache Wichs m. ‘Festtracht, Gala der Verbindungsstudenten’ (18. Jh.), danach auch umgangssprachlich ‘Festgewand, Putz, Staat’, sich in Wichs werfen ‘sich fein machen’ (19. Jh.).

  • Infallible Code

  • Though, obviously I had to come up with some ridiculous solutions:

     csharp
        
bool IsEven(int i) => ((Func<string, bool>)(s => s[^1] == 48))($"{i:B}");

    This one works without conditionals :)

     csharp
        
bool IsEven(int i)
{
    try
    {
        int _ = (i & 1) / (i & 1);
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

  • Not to take from all the funny answers ... but

     csharp
        
bool IsEven(int i) => (i & 1) != 1;

  • AI coders think they’re 20% faster — but they’re actually 19% slower

  • At this point I assume ignorance and incompetence of everybody talking about benefits of "AI" for software development.

  • I'll quote myself from some time ago:

    The entire article is based on the flawed premise, that "AI" would improve the performance of developers. From my daily observation the only people increasing their throughput with "AI" are inexperienced and/or bad developers. So, create terrible code faster with "AI". Suggestions by copilot are >95% garbage (even for trivial stuff) just slowing me down in writing proper code (obviously I disabled it precisely for that reason). And I spend more time on PRs to filter out the "AI" garbage inserted by juniors and idiots. "AI" is killing the productivity of the best developers even if they don't use it themselves, decreases code quality leading to more bugs (more time wasted) and reducing maintainability (more time wasted). At this point I assume ignorance and incompetence of everybody talking about benefits of "AI" for software development. Oh, you have 15 years of experience in the field and "AI" has improved your workflow? You sucked at what you've been doing for 15 years and "AI" increases the damage you are doing which later has to be fixed by people who are more competent.

  • After reading your comment I was wondering why 24 years after the thing and not 20 or 25. "Round" numbers intuitively make more sense to me to create a connection to a previous event. Then it occurred to me, that the second and fourth letters of the alphabet are B and D, as in Dick Butler. Though I doubt Richard would have gone with that nickname. Then again, maybe him being constantly teased/bullied as the dick butler explains him going down a road of hate ;-)

  • Watching that movie was a drug-infested nightmare. The drugs were my fault, the nightmares were on the movie. The fire extinguisher scene went on for what felt an eternity. Showing the head for punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch until it was a pulpy mess not recognizable as a head with blood seeping out of it. Actually, I think the right-hand side of the meme is a pretty apt categorization for that movie, except, maybe, the unenjoyable part. Enjoyability just depends on your own perversions and morbidity. And the title of the movie is a lie. I reversed the fire extinguisher scene: it becomes a love story of a kind and dedicated fire extinguisher reconstructing a dead man's head. I sometimes masturbate to that.
