  • Sorry I forgot to respond.

    The thing that triggered it was when I shared an xkcd link. I have seen it a lot here but I guess it’s niche. And knowing about tardigrades, and many weird biology knowledge about bugs, bacteria, and such. We’re both super nerdy about science, but at the same time we hadn’t met anyone else be this nerdy about science in real life.

  • I can understand people wanting markers. But maybe we have like 10-20 markers and someone having 5-6 from the other side is not weird. Like if someone is presenting as a girl completely and is not, they could just reply with “oh, I’m a guy, I just dressed as a girl today” and people would be like “that’s fun” instead of being weirded out.

    Like long hair/short hair for example. Or how girls wearing pants is normal now.

    In my case, my culture does have people cross dressing during certain events so it’s not as ostracized. But that could also be because people didn’t actually think about wanting to be the other gender but just dressing up for one occasion.

    Few fun things:

    • My parents wanted a daughter but had me,
    • my nickname at home was a girl’s name version of my name,
    • only children close to my age and vicinity growing up were girls so I grew up playing “girl” games,
    • my mom didn’t stop me from painting my nails, or putting makeup or anything as a child. (I still paint my nails black sometimes),
    • In highschool I was the only guy among the group of students with nails too long on a biology lab,
    • a guy friend once told me I walk gay (I didn’t even know that was a thing?)
    • I don’t watch sports, so I don’t have many common things to talk to guys as much,
    • Good friends I had (guys) were based on either common interests (programming, philosophy, etc) or other nerds. And when I don’t have those and only friends are based on proximity then I don’t have as many things in common.

    All those considered I’m still a guy, I just don’t care about being “manly”, and just do things that interests me. Plus lots of the things people do to be manly seems to just make them spend even more time with other guys lol. And although I don’t want to do a lot of things that are for each genders, I just wish everyone was chill about doing whatever someone likes. Or for someone to just try it out to see if they like it not, instead of thinking “that’s what X do, I won’t do it”.

  • I think most early users do check further than open source licenses. It’s possible they’ll add things later, but if they add after it has enough users we have significant number of users to have some people check. And if the user base is small then they’re probably more involved, or are reading/modifying code for their use cases.

    Of course it’s not foolproof, but it has worked for a long time because of things like that

  • Dam. Finally someone else who did something similar. I also changed my focus into more GIS and programming oriented work because of AutoCAD being what it is. I like working on open source software because I don’t suddenly lose all my work because I ran out of license or left my job.

  • And who says AI means neural network? That’s what we use, doesn’t mean that’s the only AI possible to write. There are a lot of different models, neural network is popular right now because it can learn from data without anyone having to teach it actual logic. An AI written by fictional character can be a deterministic kind with very similar logic to humans that you can inspect and write and give weights to things.

  • Yeah but the people who made it like that probably understand whether to trust it to write code or not. The AI Tony wrote, he knows what it does best and he trusts it to write his code. Just because it’s AI doesn’t mean it’s LLM. Like I trust the errors compilers give me even if I didn’t write them because it’s good. And I trust my scripts to do things that I wrote them for, specifically since I tested them. Same with the AI you yourself made, you’d test it, and you’d know the design principles.
