“I don’t like it when people say ‘life is hard’ in ways that I disagree with. When I hear it I say ‘you mean exact synonyms that take longer to say?’”

As somebody who lives in a state that starts with an O near the state university the name of this game always trips me up.

That depends, how comfortable are you with SQL injection directly from the webpage with no other security measures?

Interesting, you don’t typically see people camping in the middle of what appears to be a shopping mall.

Reminds me of the old Impala ads:

I totally agree with you. I’m just not sure how you can add dignity to the job of being eye candy at a car show.

That’s what I was pointing out…

I wish people would stop spreading that myth. It’s better that you keep your wrists flat than angled upwards. If you’re the kind of person who rests your wrists on the keyboard then you need to keep the keyboard flat not angled. Angled keyboards are only better if you float your wrists like people who used to use typewriters did.

They are scantily clad women hired to stand in front of cars at a car show, unfortunately being creeped at is their job. Though in this case I think the dude is doing it on purpose for the pictures.

In the meantime there’s a whole thread full of comments on the new Chinese underwater data centers talking about how they don’t heat up shit. Funny how China keeps coming up with these solutions that are perfect and the rest of the world just somehow can’t…

Edit: /s on Chinese solutions being perfect since that seems to have been less obvious than I thought it was.

As a dev who’s been unemployed for 18 months your last sentence was pretty much my first thought when reading the article.

No women in pants: check

Moo-ose …

Moo-ose Moo-ose MOO-OSE MOO-OSE MOO-OSE MOO-OSE MOO-OO-OSSSE

I’ve been a software developer for over 15 years, I’ve never used one. It’s not necessary at all.

What is with all these memes about middle-aged people only just now discovering the tiny joys of life? Clean sheet night excited me when I was fucking 12…

The fact that you think it’s bad at one thing in your list but adequate at the others is part of the problem. It’s bad at all of those things, because it’s a chatbot. Admittedly a very advanced chatbot, but still just a chatbot.

The most important take away here is what of your list was impossible before LLMs? Because the reality is that absolutely everything that you mentioned was possible before LLMs. All that LLMs have added is the chat interface part.

Granted, the technology that allowed LLM’s is likely to be very useful and already has been in places like protein folding, but that happened before LLMs.

This is correct, lots of places that were 9 to 5 would give people a lunch half hour or a lunch hour that would technically be on the clock. When lunch hours became mandatory employers went well fuck that and made it so you didn’t get paid for your lunch. Most people don’t realize off the top of their heads but 8 to 5 is actually nine hours.

You didn’t actually say what you think LLM’s are enhancing. Just that you feel that they are. Honestly I think that’s the biggest part, they’re big shiny things that look like they’re doing a lot. But they actually aren’t. LLMs are chatbots and they will never be anything more than just chatbots.

They really didn’t care about that as much back then.

The draft never left, that’s what the Selective Service is and all men in the US are required to be part of it at 18.

The Service is supposed to be turned off when we are done with the draft.
