If only i knew the truths 😞

If it’s infinite without repeating patterns then it just contain all patterns, no? Eh i guess that’s not how that works, is it? Half of all patterns is still infinity.

Ffs you’re programmers, it’s probably super easy to get another job. It doesn’t have to be like this.

Who’s gonna tell them?

I have no idea what’s up with the weird anti-Mozilla attitudes coming out lately. They’re still better than basically any other tech corp out there.

Exactly

That’s incredibly inconvenient.

“relearning c++ arrays again”

Society will not collapse from climate change if all the businesses start giving away their money.

I was considering paying for premium at one point because i recognize the costs of YouTube and whether people like it or not, it’s run better than a lot of other sites.

The thing that pushed me to go back to ad blocking was actually Google pushing their web environment integrity and now android webview media integrity nonsense. That alone was enough for me to start degoogling everything i could. I now see it as my moral obligation to do everything in my power not to support them.

Parents tracking a 13 year old is still a bit messed up, but yeah, nothing they can do about it.

Sorry, i meant that i like the Google results, and i turned them on Even if it misses the point of using an alternative because it’s just better than Google alone.

My searxng instance gives me Google results. Maybe it misses the point but it’s nice.

Ha, I’ve done the same thing

Hold on a second, how come every time i look for TPUs i get a bunch of not-for-sale nvidia and Google cards, but this just exists out there and i never heard of it?

Yeah. I want to have the option to turn off the ai as much as i want the option to go offline.

They’re getting away

That was an integral part to this whole thing, you always fact check the ai. I said this in both of my comments.

I totally get preferring textbooks or videos though. I just find that the ai saves me time since i can ask specific questions about things, and it often gives me concise information that i understand more quickly.

Yeah, it can speed up the process but you still have to know how to do it yourself when it inevitably messes something up.

Yeah, that is one thing it can do, but it’s not the only thing it does. I’m not sure how to get my point across well but, just because it gives you the wrong answer 25% of the time doesn’t mean it’s useless. In whatever you ask it to do, it often gets you most of the way there as long as you know how to correct it or check its work. The ability to ask specific or follow-up questions when learning something makes it invaluable as a learning tool (if you’re teaching yourself that is (ie. If you’re a university student)). It’s also very useful when brainstorming ideas or helping you approach a problem from a different angle. I can also ask it questions that are far more specific than what a search engine would get me.

It really comes down to if the human operator knows how (and when) to use it properly.

I disagree, because unlike those things, ai actually has a use case. It needs a human supervisor and it isn’t always faster, but chat gpt has been the best educational resource I’ve ever had next to YouTube. It’s also decent at pumping out a lot of lazy work and writing so i don’t have to, or helping me break down a task into smaller parts. As long as you’re not expecting it to solve all your problems for you, it’s an amazing tool.

People said the same things about 3d printing and yeah, while it can’t create literally everything at industrial scale, and it’s not going to see much consumer use, it has found a place in certain applications like prototyping and small scale production.
