  • We're cooked y'all 🤣

  • I agree with the overall sentiment, but I'd like to add two points:

    1. Everyone starts off as a code editor, and through a combination of (self-)education and experience can become a software engineer.
    2. To the point of code editors having to worry about LLM's taking their job, I agree, but I don't think it will be as over the top as people literally being replaced by "AI agents". Rather I think it will be a combination of code editors becoming more productive through use of LLMs, decreasing the demand for code editors, and lay people (i.e. almost no code skills) being able to do more through LLMs applied in the right places, like some website builders are doing now.

  • Oxford Professor: Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

    Jump

  • Yes! Fuck this individualistic "you should cycle instead of taking the car" language. We need collective investment in mass transit, because not everyone can bike to work, and even less people want to do it in the rain.

  • Yeah in this case I think it's more a case of "hey this guy looks kind of like my son". In this case I think it led to a miscarriage of justice, but I think in other cases that kind of thinking could protect against excessively harsh punishments. In the end I think it comes down to inequality. Bigger inequality shrinks the pool of people judges can intuitively relate to, which in turn makes judgements more unequal.

  • To the point of replacing Visa/Mastercard: it would be great if the EU could continue in line of SEPA and create an EU payment processor. Now, I want to be very clear, it should be owned by the member states' governments, and profit (if any) should go into the EU budget. No neoliberal bullshit of "oh we're going to put out a contract/give out loans for anyone to set up a payment processor and the market will decide". It should be a state owned payment processor, to finally stop the likes of Mastercard, Visa, etc. from leeching off every single consumer transaction in the economy.

  • Even though I haven't run anything Debian based as a daily driver in about a decade, I still recommend Debian based distro's to beginners. With Ubuntu being so widespread it just makes sense, because whenever you search for "how do I install xyz on linux" it's going to be a guide for Ubuntu 99% of the time, which should work on other Debian based distro's most times.

  • Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End

    Jump

  • I agree that it's editorialized compared to the very neutral way the survey puts it. That said, I think you also have to take into account how AI has been marketed by the industry.

    They have been claiming AGI is right around the corner pretty much since chatGPT first came to market. It's often implied (e.g. you'll be able to replace workers with this) or they are more vague on timeline (e.g. OpenAI saying they believe their research will eventually lead to AGI).

    With that context I think it's fair to editorialize to this being a dead-end, because even with billions of dollars being poured into this, they won't be able to deliver AGI on the timeline they are promising.

  • Trump ends Fauci's security detail and says he'd feel no responsibility if harm befell him

    Jump

  • I think many countries won't though, out of fear of retaliation from the aforementioned orange hitler. That's a stupid reason for the EU/UK not to take advantage though, because he's already made clear he will antagonize US allies whenever he pleases and invent an excuse to do it.

  • Trump aims to end birthright citizenship, says American citizens with family here illegally may be deported

    Jump

  • Which may be the end goal, use this as a wedge to convince their base that revoking citizenship may be justified in some cases.

  • In Dutch there is a saying which translates to "a donkey doesn't hit themselves on the same stone twice", i.e. they don't make the same mistake twice. I guess the dems should start looking for a different mascot.

  • Even if Tesla itself doesn't do that, it's something to be concerned about in case a vulnerability is found that allows remote access to the camera's (or worse any local video recordings that may exist).

  • Yes, but it's also controlled and pretty well regulated in terms of what you can sell. E-cigs are not, or at least not enough, leading to the sale of devices which deliver nicotine in incredibly potent doses, which makes them very addictive (especially because nicotine is one of the most addictive substances in the world). Couple that with sleek packaging, and in some countries advertising which will be seen by kids, and you have a device which is creating a new generation of nicotine addicts.

    Don't get me wrong, vaping is generally healthier than smoking, and thus better for existing nicotine addicts. We should, however, be doing everything to avoid creating new addicts.
