Improving the technology behind AI will only increase the return on investment per watt, so you’ll want to spend even more on it than before. This would more than likely increase the energy demands (assuming it doesn’t turn into vaporware).



No, I think it’s a perfectly reasonable thing to do, my coworkers on the other hand…


You and I have very different opinions on what is a reasonable expectation for our respective teams.


The problem is that 20% failure rate has no validation and you are 100% liable for the failures of an AI you’re using as a customer support agent, which can end up costing you a ton and killing your reputation. The unfixable problem is that an AI solution takes a ton of effort to validate, way more than just double checking a human answer.


Honestly, fair, even if his name wasn’t fortran.


I have a coworker who thinks I’m this guy cuz it’s apparently absurd for us to add the 5 most popular dependencies on the planet to our environment and I’m sentencing us to the doom of dependency hell.


1337x is known to host some game cracks with malicious bitcoin miners built-in. If you don’t play cracked games, maybe it’s nbd, but it still stands that you shouldn’t trust them.


Not really, but you can get a virus from movie.mkv.exe, which will probably show up in windows as “movie.mkv” but will actually run a program.

That being said, I’ve never actually seen this in the wild and it was mainly talked about in the mp3 era.


Inheritance makes complicated objects that would otherwise be impossible possible, but it only works if you know those objects really well. The problem is people write ridiculously complicated mystery objects in libraries and no one knows what’s going on anymore.




I have a coworker with 4 displays, this is for him.


“With modern science, we’re able to see what kind of memes they’re making in the year 2300.”


I’m actually an expert in multiprocessing, which is just as good


Yes. If you think that’s cool, just wait until you meet @MargotRobbie@lemm.ee


You are the reason I have imposter syndrome.


My rule has always been people can notify me, but bots/apps cannot. If I see a notification not from a person, it gets disabled. If it’s something I can practically do on a website, I don’t download the app.


The CEO is a Russian, the company is based out of Dubai, and messages aren’t encrypted by default. In fact, only private messages can be encrypted, group messages cannot. Telegram is not a trustworthy platform and a champion for user privacy like most people think, Signal is what you’re looking for.


Oh that’s actually the probability density function, must be some quantum mechanics. Not to be confused with a partial differential function, or a portable document format, or whatever the variable is actually referring to.


A few weeks ago, on Monday morning, I was looking through a PR I was working on and decided to make a ticket to write a new function that would be super useful for my current work. I then leave for meetings for the day, then come back in the afternoon and find some time to write some code, and lo and behold, I see exactly the function I wanted was already written. I wrote it at 4:00 on Friday, docstring and everything, 72 hours before I wrote a ticket to create the function. Until rereading it, I had no memory of writing it.



Try Libby. It’s an audiobook streaming platform that goes through the library system.




Anyone who’s going to copy and paste code that they don’t understand is inherently a security vulnerability.



Sklearn for most of the data handling, pytorch for the model. They’re designed to be useable together.


And that legacy application is actually only using one of those engines and it’s to do something completely different and the dev who can explain it retired.


I’ve been staring at it for 10 minutes and I’m still not convinced it works.


This is true, but when I slack you at 4:00AM…


Godspeed my friend. 10/10 I would use that irresponsibly.


The author wants to bring light to the issue, but they’re also part of the problem and actively making it worse. They pretty much only talk about Twitter because that’s pretty much all they use. They’re not even trying to explore the internet. Lemmy and Mastadon are big exceptions to his conclusion, but he probably has no idea about them because he’s not actually fighting to take his control back from Twitter’s algorithm.
