I sometimes have LLMs make and spin up single us UIs for things. It’s not uncommon for me to prompt “make it pretty” or " can you make it" pop " more" which makes me laugh quite a bit.

Cheap, easy to clean, only gets opened like once every ten years, cheap and takes paint well.

Also cheap

Posidrive bits being mixed in with Phillips also helps strip out a lot of Phillips fasteners

Your school didn’t have computer labs? Ours had a bunch that were nearly always empty with all the software you would need for every course. I used them just because the screens were more comfortable than a laptop and it was often quiet in there.

Lol, they have made a deal with the Internets favorite protection racket.

Let me tell you as both a user and person who scrapes the net, cloud flare is not going to stop this.

Im Not defending the billionaires but the reason the Hollywood types are even brought up at all is they are 100 times more peachy than billionaires who just bank roll some dark money super PAC so you never actually hear from the person themselves

It’s not really for the write off. Walmart doesn’t give a shit about your paltry pennies. It’s mostly so they get the PR and the ability to hand over a giant check and say ‘they’ raised such and such. The amount on the check will seem like a large number to idiots but it will be a relatively small number in comparison to profits etc.

You’re effectively bank rolling their advertising / good will campaign.

Given the US is currently rotting from the top down and the bottom up I wonder if this guy will get lucky and find some help from the middle that isn’t yet so corrupt.

I think responding to borrow checker errors is easier than debugging some random segfault

Also I don’t separate the language and it’s build system. I have to use it to write the language it’s an entire kit.

Part of c/cpp problem is it’s build system and dependency story just serves to get in my way instead of letting me write code. The syntax is irrelevant when I’m fucking with some auto conf script because the version on my machine is 0.01 versions different.

It is definitely easier.

Don’t try and tell me cargo is not easier than fucking around with the C/CPP build slop I’ve had to screw around with over the years.

The coreutils license is bullshit but let’s not pretend languages have not improved in 50 years.

No and some movies are 3 plus hours. The last one I saw with an intermission was the brutalist and it helped me enjoy the movie a lot more.

I know Scorsese said he didn’t like them or something but I didn’t go see killers of the flower moon in theaters because no intermission on a 4 hour movie is not my jam.

These things are very clearly just used for data collection for AI training. Making the users offset the cost is just bonus.

The major problem is that the work of an LLM has a massive number of hidden ‘assumptions’ that you need to be aware of. If you don’t already have a good working knowledge of the task you wont have an intuition about those assumptions. It’s annoying.

I thought one of them needed to breath through her skin or something and that’s why she didn’t wear pants?

Maybe I should play some of these games.

Yeah… And anyone with two brain cells to rub together could see that.

Country still voted him back in.

A large part of Twitter is just the society pages.

All the toilets in your building / neighborhood were installed all the same time and your need for a toilet seat likely matches the average lifespan of that item. They see this, they see you bought a toilet seat.

They don’t sell ads directly for you though. The do sell ads to people your age in your location that might need a toilet seat. They might also know that that item has a high return rate. On the chance you return it they want to sell the opportunity to advertise to you for more to potential customers (ad buyers)

It just goes on and on.

The reality is they don’t need to listen.

They have so much data on users.

• how old you are
• where you are
• what you last bought
• when you just bought it
• who you are near
• what they bought
• what the people around you are searching and what ads they are seeing
• what is being bought and sold by everyone around you
• when you sleep
• what you eat
• the things you are chatting about on MMS
• where you go
• when you’re home and when and where you work

It just goes on and on and on.

People think they are unique but they are not as unique as they think.

The other thing people on Lemmy / Hackernews/ Reddit don’t seem to get is that people are not using laptop or desktop computers anymore. More and more people only have a phone and maybe a tablet. People with phones and tablets do not know what a browser is. It’s baked into the system. Everyone on Android is using Chrome and they very likely don’t even know it.

This reminds me when I was working for IBM ten years ago and in an attempt to be cool they have us a single beer, and then stamped our hand so we couldn’t get another.

Once a company gets into these spirals it’s incredibly hard to right the ship again.
