I'm starting to agree with the AI on this one... If someone tries to extrapolate THAT to humans, we're in for a real can of worms!

Everything is relative, and compared to other airplane models, the 737max has absurdly high rate of fatality flights. The only commercial model in history with a higher rate of fatal crashes, as far as I can tell, was the Concorde. And we d

It kinda bothers me that airlines are still placing orders for new Boeing airplanes. Taking delivery of old orders is one thing, since they can't really back out of those, but placing new orders implies that some level of trust remains

I don't want to be a naysayer, but I do have to wonder, are there any risks associated with making the walls themselves store large quantities of energy? I'm thinking fire hazards or shorts associated with, say, hanging a framed p

Maybe this can finally make record labels get their shit together and provide reasonable licensing for music. Ever wonder why restaurants and other commercial venues keep playing bland bossa-nova cover versions of good songs? Licensing.

To be brutally honest, blaming chat-gpt for a coding mistake doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Having insufficient testing and 0 monitoring does not improve it. Y'all need to hire some senior backend Devs.

Why would a top loaded washing machine be better? They use more water than frontloaders, and in my experience they don't clean any better.. Do they cause less wear on your clothes or something?

I'm not sure if I would've tolerated it or not, I was in a tight spot financially when I took the job so I might have tolerated it for a bit longer at least if the pay was 2x my normal rate. But I still would've hated every s

I first started considering resigning after about 3 months, but I was in tight spot financially at the time so I stuck around for 6 months in the end. It was soul crushing and terrible.

It actually might be the standard. One of us has had an unusual experience in the gaming industry, and I'm not sure who. We also live really far away from eachother, so that might be a factor as well. I'm based in Stockholm, which

You're not wrong, but that's not the full story here tho, at least not in my experience. Worst job I ever had paid about 60% of what I usually earn, and I was told of by the manager for pointing out that there were compilation err

I agree on all your points, but find it funny that you mention game-dev as a bad example. I know the industry has a bad reputation but some of my best gigs were at gaming companies(and, as per your suggestion, those were the best paid ones

Lid has more meanings though. It can also mean "inclination" or "hillside" (roughly) which makes more sense in the context. Grönlid would then be a green hillside or green slope or similar. Which sounds like a nice place

It's a good idea for future satellites, but upgrading existing satellites is probably not feasible. And these polar orbit satellite typically live a lot longer than the relatively short lived starlink satellites, potentially opening yo

Here in Sweden you're allowed to cross any land that is not directly connected to a house(read someone's lawn) you may pick wild mushrooms and berries growing there, and you may raise a tent and spend 1 night. The rule for camping

I'm feeling my lack of academic training here, but I needed to make sure. When you say sum types, are you referring to enums, or is it a broader concept than that? The Wikipedia article was quite archaic but seemed to support my initia

For wildly different reasons. GitHub is free for individuals and small teams so that big corporations feel compelled to use their products, since all of their employees are accustomed to those already. I'm less familiar with the financ

But your answers will still be available on SO, unless you remove them. Your answers were free and publicly available until you removed them. Making them also available to paying customers of chat-gpt does not change that at all. In fact, c

So I actually agree with you on the social issues, but I really don't think targeting automation is the way forward. If we want to work less, we need to automate more to make that even theoretically possible. The social situation of ju

Personally, I'm kinda there already. Petty users removing answers out of spite are the villains. Doing stuff out of spite usually makes you the villain, and this is not an exception to that.

Following this logic, how do you feel about automated tests? Without those, there'd be a much larger market for manual testers then there is currently.. I'm just confused about this standpoint, you seem to be opposed to actually d

It still does tho. I don't see why "whole community" cannot include open-ai? I mean, I've used knowledge gleaned from SO for the benefit of many large corporations who employed me in the past, that's not new. "

Seems like a very unlikely scenario. And as far as doomsday scenarios go, this is fairly benign. If people getting stupid is the worst possible outcome, AI is a lot safer than I thought, and I was already on board

This might be a controversial opinion, but to me it seems kinda petty to remove your answers from SO to stop open-ai from improving their models. Honestly I don't quite understand all reluctance around AI. It will either improve produc

Good or bad are subjective, but "endless cheap plastic shit" certainly does lower the average quality of goods available today.
