What do you think they missed? What they said seems accurate: You're putting a lot of faith in ChatGPT that doesn't seem warranted.

Of course, if that code had been written in Rust, the compiler would have caught the bug... no tests necessary, and no need to stick to clever coding patterns and write your own wrappers. I know she likes her C, but I wonder if she'l

You're not "stuck" due to familiarity. That's a choice. A choice you're free to make, but still a choice.

That would be an instant service cancellation for me.

It's good to have a study like this to first confirm that there is a difference. If you jump right to factors, and you study the wrong ones, you might miss the real difference.

My impression has been that even visible far-blue is a problem. But I also just don't like blue LEDs.

Can't wait to have even more signs and appliances beaming harsh, blurry, possibly dangerous blue light directly into my eyeballs.

Yup, vigilantism is the inevitable and unfortunate result of this kind of bullshit.

The article doesn't actually explain the "why", which severely undercuts the existence of the "how" list. It's fine to go do other things with your precious time instead.

I have a private server (running Dendrite) but it doesn't even work well for that purpose -- so many bugs, many preventing me from reading messages due to encryption state fuckups.

It's almost as if when one person is reacting to a trend, other people are also reacting to it!

"Telegraph" is a bit of an unfortunate word because when used metaphorically it has come to have two almost diametrically opposed meanings. I think that's what's tripping you up.

Keep your AI slop to yourself, please.

What a fascinatingly out-of-touch comment.

I've been cut way more often and more seriously with sharp knives than with dull knives. Everyone says this thing but I suspect it isn't true at all.

Oh, that's not quite what I was asking about -- I was wondering if you've compared AI vs no-AI for tasks, and kept measurements of that . But it sounds like you're not in a position to do so.

This is more like contractor pay rates -- not salaried. Which is appropriate to the nature of the work here.

This comment isn't very useful if you don't actually point out some flaws. :-)

If they used mid 2025 models and tools, the paper would have come out in late 2025, and you would have had the same complaint.

Or N = 246 tasks.

Well, it would be a nice counterweight to all the gaslighting of people who claim AI doesn't improve their productivity...

Have you actually measured this? Because one of the big takeaways from this study is that people are bad at predicting and observing their own time spent.

Hell, a lot of times I can't even explain an idea to my coworkers in a conversation, and I eventually say "I'll just explain it in code instead of words." And I just quickly put up a small PR that makes the skeleton of t

Perplexing indeed.

I'm fairly sure no, unless you count the early days of DALL-E availability, when people were first exploring this stuff. Most people I know are turned off by generative AI.

by phyzome 1y ago
I don't think you got the author's point. They didn't say "AI is bad". Take another look.

I've been stung a number of times by bees and wasps, but I still find them fascinating, and I would love to have one of these in my wall.

I think you're conflating "no incentive" (which might be true) with "no downsides" (which is not).

"a proper open source browser never took off" That's... not accurate at all. Firefox was extremely popular at one point, and completely ate the lunch of everything else out there. (And then Google used anticompetitive practic
