Fucking hell, after all these years?

which violates international law

The whole war violates international law, the US has stopped caring about that and so why should China?

The variable you’re missing is time. There was a big shift in quality by Christmas, and the latest models are much better programmers than models from one year ago. The quality is improving so fast, that most people still think of AI as a “slop generator”, when it can actually write good code and find real bugs and secutity issues now.

I’m a xennial developer. I"ve been coding for 30 years. AI now codes better (and a thousand timed faster) than most mid-level developers. The company I work for has not hired a single junior dev for months now. The new paradigm is a senior dev controlling a team of AI agents. It feels like it doesn’t even make sense to think of training juniors, because at this rate even seniors will be obsolete in a year or two.

AI in the software dev world is not hype.

How is it a positive for you to be required to deliver 10x the work in the same timeframe as before, while earning the same salary, and while having your job change without warning or negotiation? AI makes it possible to do much more work in a shorter amount of time, but that doesn’t translate into more free time - it’s just that it becomes expected that you should deliver much more work.

Let me give you an example: imagine you work for a magazine. Before, you worked on a team of 5 designers, who each had a week to come up with two or three sections of the magazine. Now, most of the team is gone, you are creating the whole magazine by yourself using AI, your job changed from writing copy and using photoshop to create art to “prompt engineering”. The company expanded its business and now they publish 10 magazines (mostly AI slop) instead of one, because they can.

This is great for those who sell tokens and maybe for your boss, no one else. Workers end up being expected to increase their output multiple times; the fun parts of the job are taken over by AI and you’re left doing basically QA all day; the market is runover by AI slop; your boss now has to compete not only with very specialized people, but also with kids using AI.

I can tell you from personal experience working in the consulting world that many people who have been heavy AI users for the last year are now ending up with burnout. I can personally see everything the article mentions going on in my real world bubble.

Get yourself a kobo and both of those issues disappear. Also, you get free books if you are willing to sail the high seas, which is nice.

Fuck nazis.

You seem to be ignoring the issue with the Panchen Lama that the CCP kidnapped as a child. He is the one who is supposed to recognize the next Dalai Lama, and he is either long dead or under Chinese control.

You’re either very young, or very dumb. It is known that every low-moderation platform quickly devolves into nazism and/or child porn.

The kid surely missed or Trump wouldn’t be here, but he didn’t took a bullet in his ear, that’s for sure. A wound like that would take months to fully heal.

Over 12,000 current and former service members signed a series of letters since the collapse of the ceasefire in March calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government to end the war and declaring they will refuse to serve if it continues

We come from many years of Socialist Party rule, and the pendulum has now swang to the other side.

After 50 years of democracy young people no longer have any idea what it was like to live under the fascist dictatorship, they don’t have any idea of the huge leap in quality of life that these last 50 years brought us, and they have been made to think by propaganda that the whole system is rotten and that we’ve never been worse. That revolt vote that in my youth went to far left parties that talked about decriminalizing drugs and abortion, now goes to far right parties that blame gipsies and immigrants for all perceived problems (many of them not even factually existing).

In one or two more years the far right will inevitably reach government, and we’ll be a little Hungary by the sea.

I’ve been using nextcloud for years also, self-hosted on Hetzner, as a repository for files for a small company. We are 10 people in total using it everyday to store and share files, and we have a few TB of data in total.

It’s basically having your own dropbox or google drive server, that you can manage as you see fit.

Oh no =(

By his logic, Nielsen’s kids should now hunt him and kill him for killing their father.

The weird thing for me here is why does the president have power over the employment of random government employees. I’m used to employment having legal protections so that prople can’t be fired just because.

You need to learn how to read.

No, they are saying that any other way to transport those goods would cause more pollution.

But they travel on what seem to be modern and perfectly white and clean caravans? These must not be the same kind of travellers we have where I live.
