Sry to be that guy but there’s currently basically no way for him to get in jail by saying bad things.

Speech is never enough to prove insurrection or similar charges and the supreme court ruling on presidential immunity makes hard to get in trouble, even if there’s actions to prove he’s inciting something.

I made course for 11th and 12th graders together with a friend when I at university. It was only one week long and the topic was neural networks (we hit the timing right, it was 3 years before the AI hype started).

I did that experiment where you give the students 5 random places and amount of time out of a week. You say that is the movement profile of a fictional person and the students have to find out why those places matter.

Makes them learn the importance of information and how linking data can be an insane tool for understanding as something. But it also teaches how easy it is to gather information from small data points and self aware you should be about your digital footprint.

This.

In my experience 95% of crimes committed on a digital platform are crimes of social manipulation.

Impersonation, phishing, scams, … It’s all just a social game.

Yeah AI as a dev is shit, but AI as a more thoughtful auto-complete is actually pretty great.

To me it looks like AIs currently are right at the boundary between being a tool and being a companion. But to be a full companion, they can’t be up against the boundary, they need to be well established and tried and tested as a companion to be used repeatedly, so we’re still a few decades out from that from what I can tell.

No man’s sky is not really the fitting example you think it anymore. Over time the devs put in some work.

Yeah I’m pretty sure the changes he praises have made me not play this game in about 3 years.

And running game studios as a business sound wrong to me. Yes, you need to make money, but it’s a creative branch and as soon as you make a pipeline for how you make your games, people will get bored of it, see Ubisoft.

Maybe they had big issues with monetization but what he’s talking about doesn’t sound healthy at all for the developers and artists working there.

Also I’m still a bit salty that I paid for destiny2 and then they made it free and introduced DLCs. Such a slap in the face.

I know this is a bit late, but copilot is only ok if used for code completion. I switched to the free tier of supermaven a month ago and it’s been way more helpful, as it can handle context better. Probably cuts coding in half and takes away a third of debugging.

Asking chatgpt for code has also become better, but imo still not reliable enough to regularly use. Just had some docker code written and it got it wrong 3 times so I gave up on that.

I get your point, AI can only save time if you know exactly what you’re doing and it will only be helpful sometimes. But when it is, it’s such a time saver.

everyone has at least 20 minutes […] every day.

No.

A lot of people do, but a lot of people don’t.

They may have months without any time surplus. And then maybe some months where they do have a significant time surplus.

But never assume everyone has the same time to dedicate to things.

My mom is currently working 50h weeks and I’m sure that’s on the lower end for some people. I’d prefer her to focus on not getting burnout so she is able to survive a bit longer, and that means she physically can’t.

The potatoes?

Man if big studios are constantly layng ppl off, that means in a few years we will probably have an influx of even more small game studios and it’s gonna be way harder for big companies to acquire them.

Though I don’t like the layoffs, I like the world in which game developers are back to steering their own company again.

Took long enough but it finally seems like consumer protection groups are pushing against this internationally.

The cool thing is, if either EU or US make laws surrounding this, it will put an incentive in place for the other to follow up. And because the US and EU are so influential, a lot of other countries will follow up. Even better, because China is already putting pressure on everyone to put limits in place, considering this year they already put laws in place against that. One of those rare China Ws.

I’m rooting so hard for them.

No one uses Boolean values anyway and with the amount of resources available on modern systems we can just replace them with integers and we should be fine. This also makes it easier to teach people, as they would learn less different data types.

Yes I’m a software dev :)

At this point I think there is no software dev topic that is somehow not devisive.

No self awareness whatsoever

Hard to know how much he was listening. It’s def a mostly harmless prank so I’m also cool with it, but I wouldn’t say he’s been actively helping people.

Yeah that’s pretty good ngl.

That sounds like a really dumb design idea. Why make a federating protocol if you still rely on the server? I don’t even get why they did it at all then.

That’s indeed very interesting and peculiar.

Straight guy here, boobs are nice, vaginas are nice. Don’t like ass tho. And I’m impartial to feet, armpits and all that other stuff.

I do have to say that physical attraction is not that important, I am always looking for the right vibe.
