The criticality of any given service is inversely proportional to how recently released was the technology that it runs on.

This, if you see some ancient machine sitting there humming, don’t even make eye contact with that mf, don’t even think about it. In fact, try to minimize your time in the same room so when it eventually goes tits up, you don’t get blamed.

I would watch the absolute fuck out of this to the point that my family would be so fucking sick of it.

Are you sure it isn’t just that he’s Dutch?

I think the thing I haven’t quite sussed out is… Well, let’s take Wal-Mart and Dollar General. Wal-mart and DG both have this weird niche of being both major employers for rural areas, as well as depending on nearly their employee base as customers. If they automate all their jobs away, who do they think they’re going to be selling to? My guess so far is that all these MBAs think that certainly their customer base won’t run out of cash by having their jobs automated away.

FTA: The user considered it was the unpaid volunteer coders’ “job” to take his AI submissions seriously. He even filed a code of conduct complaint with the project against the developers. This was not upheld. So he proclaimed the project corrupt. [GitHub; Seylaw, archive]

This is an actual comment that this user left on another project: [GitLab]

As a non-programmer, I have zero understanding of the code and the analysis and fully rely on AI and even reviewed that AI analysis with a different AI to get the best possible solution (which was not good enough in this case).

Holy smokes, how did I not think to turn the temperature down?! That’s smart! Thanks for getting back to me!

Yep, RIP

How well? Bet your life on it well, or “fewer hallucinations than we would have guessed” well? I’ve considered and toyed around with openAI models for logging supply room check offs in a JSON format and it went better than I hoped but worse than I needed.

The client wants to drag and drop their own personalized excel file with no guaranteed formatting or column order or data contract in order to import their data into our system <3

I… Somehow just realized that I can of course change my editor font. After three years in professional software dev.

Any recommendations for maximizing readability?

Got it, thanks

Ehhh, don’t trust LLMs to be factual, but one of the places where they actually are useful is low stakes summarizing. There’s still a risk of hallucination, but I’ve used ChatGPT is sort of “living docs” before and it probably saved me hours.

I’m sorry, tripcode?

Explain yourself

The trick is knowing that reactionaries and nazis always, always, always operate in bad faith. Even if given no excuses, they’ll cook up their own reasons to declare martial law. It’s coming whether we behave or not.

Welcome, glad to have you aboard!

Welcome! Enjoy your stay, and if you see that we’re missing a community you want, be the change you want to see in the world!

Oh shit, maybe I’m just banned lmao

Yeah, I also have a strong [left] libertarian bent, and I appreciate that .ee admins trust me to block servers I don’t want to see for myself. I think the only two that .ee has defederated from are lemmygrad and exploding heads (Nazis).
