Wow. Thanks for the advice. I guess that’s just Lemmy showing me the door. Good luck with your community here.

Yeah, if only he had suggested to shoot the journalists instead, which Trump LITERALLY did, then that’d be fine with you. Obviously.

Good. So you’re fine with what he’s doing. He promised exactly what he did. The supreme court killed his original plan which he did try to execute, so that’s on the court, not him.

LLMs (this is NOT AI)

I disagree. When I was studying AI at college 20+ years ago we were also talking about expert systems which are glorified if/else chains. Most experts in the field agree that those systems can also be considered AI (not ML though).

You may be thinking of GAI or Universal AI which is different. I am a believer in the singularity (that a machine will be as creative and conscious as a human), but that’s a matter of opinion.

I didn’t downvote you

I was using “you” more towards the people downvoting me, not you directly. You can see the accounts who downvoted/upvoted, btw.

Edit: and I assumed the implication of your comment was that “people who code are safe”, which is a stretch I was answering to. Your comment was ambiguous either way.

You’ll get blindsided real quick. AIs are just getting better. OpenAI are already saying they moved past GPT for their next models. It’s not 5 years before it can fix code longer than 400 lines, and not 20 before it can digest a specification and spout a working software. Said software might not be optimized or pretty, but those are things people can work separately. Where you needed 20 software engineers, you’ll need 10, then 5, then 1-2.

You have more in common with the guy getting replaced today than you care to admit in your comment.

Edit: not sure why I’m getting downvoted instead of having a discussion, but good luck to you all in your careers.

You’d rather he doesn’t?

There’s a survival bias too. People rarely will hear about or play the bad stuff from that era, but we keep hearing about the bad stuff happening now because of marketing. People then get nostalgic of a time that didn’t really exist. For every Mario Bros there’s a dozen Bad Street Brawler that no one plays today.

As someone who grew up in the 80s there were a lot of garbage from then too, it just didn’t survive the test of time.

Trump is not my candidate.

Just like people who defended Trump in 2016 saying stupid stuff like “he’s not anti-abortion he paid for abortions”.

I don’t care who you vote for, you’re whitewashing Trump by omission. If you actually cared about Gaza you’d rightfully point out that Trump’s politics and platform is actually worst than Biden’s on every aspect of that conflict. But you didn’t.

given Biden’s increasingly unpopular insistence on participating in a genocide

As opposed to Trump’s very popular insistence to actually nuke Gaza and Ukraine, I suppose? I guess it’s not a genocide if your candidate does it and it happens quickly enough.

The Red Mage from FF1. My first team was four Red Mage.

I was going off this article; https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2023/9/15/23874111/charity-philanthropy-americans-global-rich

So I’m not against eating (or better yet taxing) the rich, but if this article talks about the 1% global/worldwide, you’re likely in that 1%. The cutoff is like anyone with a job that makes 60k$ a year and no kids.

It’s called a network effect and it’s the same reason everyone is on TikTok or Facebook or here. Like it or not when I started my project (a few months ago) people told me “you need to create a Twitter account, that’s where the people are”. I did, only post updates to the project, don’t use it to actually follow people, but I still have a few dozens followers.

The just plain wrong. When you vote for speaker you also vote the rules in. Dems will not vote for the same set of rules and likely go back to a traditional and more sane set of rules.

There was this game I wanted to play that required a lot of memory. My dad didn’t want to spend more money on the computer so I spent a few days hacking the bios, config.sys and autoexec.bat to make sure only the bare minimum was met with drivers for the sound blaster and the mouse loaded and enough RAM left for the game to load.

Making the game play was engineering at the time.

Nah it will drop but I bet it’s gonna be a few days before it reaches the low tens. Then the real grind starts with months/years to try to regain value back to the overinflated IPO price.

We’ve seen it with plenty of stocks that IPO’d. This is not unknown territory. There is value in Reddit and there is profit to be had, but it is very under water and overvalued right now.

Investors will dump, employees will dump, price will tank to maybe 20-25$ the first day (after raising for a couple hours I predict, maybe even to 40+$), then a week after the IPO it will be 15-$.

But who the fuck knows. Markets are irrational and it could go down to 5$ the first day as mods and WSB start shorting it and making a mess on social medias.

Multiplicity reboot?

Serious cage is best cage.

The Hubble Suggestion just doesn’t sound the same.

He’s not wrong, but this comes off as “it’s only a banana Michael”. If he’s talking about a house, then yes. If he’s talking about groceries, that adds up quickly. Don’t just pay interests on everything.
