good god if this place isn’t unfunny as hell
I think c/lemmyshitpost quite funny, at least the posts itself, not sure about the comment-section…
leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics
Fair enough I think it’s also way to overloaded with the depressing evolution of american politics…
it will work for 99,9% without any flaw
Unfortunately not anymore.
And it doesn’t help, that Mozilla is also slowly turning towards enshittification… (since they fired all servo devs…)
Right, but you can also create accounts on different instances, so not really protected. Actually I think it’s very difficult to really filter bots when they’re done right, especially in times where LLMs start to be increasingly more popular.
Yeah though I think it’s a little bit too political at times. I get it, Trump and Musk is destroying the USA from within, but I don’t need to read about it in every second post…
My fear is that, if lemmy gets too successful, that regarding bots the same fate may occur.
The (d/m)ental decline in the US is real…
Oh in practice it works quite well for me, basically all my friends and family use Signal now. You can slightly push them towards that, explain the obvious pros, it’s simple to install, so it’s just a small matter of convincing. I only rarely use WhatsApp for some external groups.
This is just bullshit… And one of the reasons why the barely functioning democracy is on the best way to an autocratic fascist oligarchy.
There’s two candidates to vote for. One is bad for the Palestinians, one is much worse for them. If I don’t vote, the one that is much worse gets a higher chance of winning…
Democracy especially if you only have 2 choices is about making compromises.
Apparently a lot of people wasted (likely) all their future choices for an absolute *** (there’s two many words that are fitting). That Trump still has such a high approval just confirms to me that we as Europeans should just cut ties with them.
Yeah destruction is done quickly, reputation and generally constructive policies (especially internationally) takes time.
What the US/Trump-Administration is doing, is just dumb (even for themselves). Europe almost has to slowly(?) cut ties with them, with what they’re currently doing. And I do think “cutting ties with the US” increasingly gets more popular for a reason… Let’s just hope that the same fate won’t come over europe and that the current success of right-wing parties in europe is temporary…
Even if you don’t take profit off the list, it could well be that he had more financial success in these other companies because he uses twitter as promotion and propaganda platform…
I’ve got news for you: basically every app I’ve used so far for lemmy has infinite scroll. Currently Thunder previously Sync.
Hmm now I feel bad for not shorting it, after having thought about it initially…
As you’re being unkind all the time, let me be unkind as well :)
A calculator also isn’t much help, if the person operating it fucks up. Maybe the problem in your scenario isn’t the AI.
If you can effectively use AI for your problems, maybe they’re too repetitive, and actually just dumb boilerplate.
I rather like to solve problems that require actual intelligence (e.g. do research, solve math problems, think about software architecture, solve problems efficiently), and don’t even want to deal with problems that require me to write a lot of repetitive code, which AI may be (and often is not) of help with.
I have yet to see efficient generated Rust code that autovectorizes well, without a lot of allocs etc. I always get triggered by the insanely bad code-quality of the AI that just doesn’t even really understand what allocations are… Arghh I could go on…
Yes, I know, I tried all kinds of inputs, ways to query it, including full code-bases etc. Long story short: I’m faster just not caring about AI (at the moment). As I said somewhere else here, I have a theoretical background in this area. Though speaking of, I think I really need to try out training or refining a DeepSeek model with our code-bases, whether it helps to be a good alternative to something like the dumb Github Copilot (which I’ve also disabled, because it produces a looot of garbage that I don’t want to waste my attention with…) Maybe it’s now finally possible to use at least for completion when it knows details about the whole code-base (not just snapshots such as Github CoPilot).
You’re just trolling aren’t you? Have you used AI for a longer time while coding and then tried without for some time? I currently don’t miss it… Keep in mind that you still have to check whether all the code is correct etc. writing code isn’t the thing that usually takes that much time for me… It’s debugging, and finding architecturally sound and good solutions for the problem. And AI is definitely not good at that (even if you’re not that experienced).
Yes, I know, I’m also not from the USA from a “neutral” state (Austria)…
Actually, especially if you’re European, even the democrats are more right-leaning, i.e. comparable with the conservative parties here.
No one is actually politically neutral…
I think at this point in the USA it’s very clear:
If you’re “politically neutral”, you’re Republican.
I (and very many others) may not agree with the democrats, but since we only got two parties there, it’s damage-control. And any sane person (that would like to have a non-dystopian future) votes against Trump…
So unreliable boilerplate generator, you need to debug?
Right I’ve seen that it’s somewhat nice to quickly generate bash scripts etc.
It can certainly generate quick’n dirty scripts as a starter. But code quality is often supbar (and often incorrect), which triggers my perfectionism to make it better, at which point I should’ve written it myself…
But I agree that it can often serve well for exploration, and sometimes you learn new stuff (if you weren’t expert in it at least, and you should always validate whether it’s correct).
But actual programming in e.g. Rust is a catastrophe with LLMs (more common languages like js work better though).
Have you actually read my text wall?
Even o1 (which AFAIK is roughly on par with R1-671B) wasn’t really helpful for me. I just need often (actually all the time) correct answers to complex problems and LLMs aren’t just capable to deliver this.
I still need to try it out whether it’s possible to train it on my/our codebase, such that it’s at least possible to use as something like Github copilot (which I also don’t use, because it just isn’t reliable enough, and too often generates bugs). Also I’m a fast typer, until the answer is there and I need to parse/read/understand the code, I already have written a better version.
I mean I can certainly imagine, why.
But this feels so strange, reading as European…
