N00b. True pros accomplish O((n^2)!)

it’s reading lemmy right now :p

I just had a light bulb moment as to what it is that annoys me about a large portion of US-american men: all the “dudes” temper & behaviour is adolescent - as if they never made it past puberty. Which perfectly fits the sexualized language being funny to those guys.

If I buy from a sex shop, it’s going to be more clear cut.

Life pro tip: Open a sex shop that sells groceries, to devalue the data analysis ^^

But sometimes the tail wags the dog

That argument was only ever made by dumb fucks or evil fucks. The article reports about an actual occurrence of one of the problems of such technology that we (people who care about privacy) have warned about from the beginning.

while your measured response is appreciated, I hardly consider a few dozen downvotes relevant, nor do I care in this case. It’s telling that those who did respond to my comment seem to assume I would consider myself a “pro” when that’s 1) nothing I said and 2) it should be clear from my comment that I consider the expression cringy. Outside memeable content, only idiots call themselves a “pro”. If something is my profession, I could see someone calling themselves a “professional <whatever>” (not that I would use it), but professional has a profoundly distinct ring to it, because it also refers to a code of conduct / a way to conduct business.

“I’m a pro” and anything like it is just hot air coming from bullshitters who are mostly responsible for enshittification of any given technology.

or maybe it’s just a lower level manager who wants to polish up their revenue numbers to ask for a raise / promotion :) capitalists are ugly little critters like that.

It’s not the decision to ask more money, it’s how they made it and in violation of their own terms of service, also extortion, so yes they are dipshits.

The only way they wouldn’t have cash on hand as if they’re spending a ridiculous amount of cash on some project that I’m not aware of, and I feel like I would be aware of it.

Maybe someone dipshit in marketing heavily invested in LLMs, since that’s the current hype among dipshits?

1. what is HN? Edit: never mind, answered below: hacker news (ycombinator)
2. daaamn… I hated cloudflare before for their shitty and non-adblocker-compatible (often not working at all) “I am not a bot” checks, but fuck me are those EVIL motherfuckers…

I’m a 10 year pro,

You wish. The sheer idea of calling yourself a “pro” disqualifies you. People who actually code and know what they are doing wouldn’t dream of giving themselves a label beyond “coder” / “programmer” / “SW Dev”. Because they don’t have to. You are a muppet.

It’s called AI even if it isn’t artificial intelligence, it’s unfortunately how language works.

Only for people for whom words don’t have meanings. There is nothing “intelligent” about pattern matching. As I said - only dumbfucks call it “A.I.” and we shouldn’t regurgitate the verbal diarrhea of marketing idiots.

Repeat after me: This. present. hype. is. not. A.I. By parroting the marketing bullshit, it doesn’t become less false. Large Language Models are just glorified pattern matching and everyone who calls them AI is a dumb fuck.

This here. As much as I hate the new Boeing philosophy, they used to build good planes and this issue is most certainly a maintenance problem or bird strike etc…

While true for some songs, others grow on you or stay good for eternity. My favourite all-time song hasn’t changed in 30 years: Black (Colin Vearncombe) - Wonderful Life

That’d cost them profits…

Namibia, Kenya, Mauritius, Ghana, Botswana, The Gambia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Equatorial Guinea.

There’s a bunch of African countries I would rather live than the US, although maybe not exactly South Africa or Congo…

No, sorry, eating meat is not the same as murder, it’s just nature.

You can acknowledge it’s murder while accepting it’s also a part of nature (at least in the original hunting context). Breeding defenseless livestock in captivity, in order to slaughter them for food, that’s murdering a social creature.

I occasionally eat meat, but at least I am not lying to myself about what it means for the creature whose meat I eat.

If you tell yourself that animals have no capability to enjoy life, to be happy and play, and therefore have a right to live, then you need a reality check,

Eating any kind of animal is not wrong in terms of our nature and how our planet works, but if we have options without suffering from malnutrition (and by now we do), I applaud every person who chooses to go meat-free out of empathy.
