I agree, they used to be a lot better. The beefier business line models are still decent though.

That isn't even close to true; we've based more or less our entire society on software, and it's getting worse every day.

Yes, but they still filled their purpose. AI slop code doesn't even work beyond toy examples.

Speak for yourself, I'm not a computer.

AI is right about many things, impressively so. And people want to be special; to find meaning, purpose beyond the daily grind. The result wasn't very difficult to predict, more likely one of the driving forces behind the push.

Doing things faster comes way down the priority list where I work. We spend a lot of resources on understanding and improving the code, as well as breaking knowledge silos. Because the people running the show are experienced software devs,

Robots don't listen to music, I'm pretty sure that's the longer term plan.

Nope, not until AI is writing high quality, maintainable software; and no one knows if that's even possible yet.

If you think software development is cushy, I wonder what kind of software you're writing. Because there are different levels; getting something to work is not the same thing as writing maintainable, high quality software. I've se

I'm sure it has; and I'm sure it will again, and again, with every single software update.

Because curing profits isn't really on their priority list at all, it's all virtue posturing.

And they were complete trash in comparison to the ones on ThinkPads imo.

The answer is always yes, continously.

Right, isn't building up a (imaginary) context how people memorize pi?

Yeah, same here, the least interesting aspect for me.

Hello fellow programmer from the middle ages; we discovered long ago that significant whitespace is a dead end, the fact that it's popular with the wannabes changes nothing.

This doesn't sound much like an opposite to me. There are different levels of ADHD, and many are judged as stupid in school simply because they're bored and overstimulated at the same time. The rest of the traits described are pre

You won't have to, it's already happening.

You're far from alone, it does make it a tiny bit easier to see which functions are expected to return null, but that's about it and messing around with it always feels like wasted effort.

Same, I'm just not doing Win11, I would rather run DOS.

Likewise, none of that bothers me as much as Apple's design over function madness lately.

Replacing booleans with timestamps might be a good idea sometimes, presenting it as The Solution isn't very constructive imo. Adding a separate table where the presence of a record means 'true' allows recording related state

The biggest difference to me is that it seems to change people in bad ways, just from interacting with it. Language is a very powerful tool for transformation, we already knew this. Letting it loose on this scale without someone behind the

Have you seen anyone being "cured" of cancer, the shit they have to go through? That's not a cure, it's business, creating return customers.

Well, welcome to the club of awareness :)

There is no profit in curing anything, which is a big part o the shit we're in. Treating it as the parasitic fungus it is would be a step in the right direction.

by codr7 1y ago
Reminds me of Apple, and once you've signed they treat you like dirt, wasting all the effort.

Avoiding top rated companies should work as a decent heuristic though.

If we wanted patients to survive long term, then maybe we could try a treatment that doesn't destroy their immune system in the process.
