Yes but I bet the young developers at Microslop have never used notepad or wordpad or even windows 95, so they think the best apps are made in electron with JavaScript, or in dotnet.

Have they made notepad a webapp yet? Lol.

Im on Linux and it requires just as much memory as it did in 2018. No problem here.

Klarna is really pissing me off. I got a refund from a place, and they put that money into some kind of Klarna Wallet or whatever, by default, instead of in my bank account where the money originally came from.

So I go to their stupid site, and select the option to refund to my bank account, and they are warning me this will take up to 7 days! For no other reason than they wanting my money in their account so im tied to their service.

Stay the hell away from Klarna. Im doing that from now on.

Yeah I know, I think junior developers have a hard time today. Not sure how to learn without writing the code yourself.

Mr Anderson…

I just let the Ai write all my code and spend all my time looking for the bugs it creates.

Its not so fulfilling mentally since I dont think anymore, but sure, goes fast and lots of code is produced.

Also its the new normal now and I think humans can only be faster if they know the domain very well already.

Most of us are working with apis we dont know every method of by heart, so its quite slow to write code manually, even if its correct.

Which means this entire profession will be about fixing Ai bugs by telling it whats wrong and let it retry until it works.

Its because people get other priorities with age. They dont care about learning new things as much, as a general rule. They have their paycheck and they value time with family or friends. The job is just a way to get money, not a choice or a passion.

This is in contrast with young people, who often wants to show how good they are, make a career, get recognized. Believe it or not, those older people wanted that too but not anymore. They did it, but other things became more important than work.

I think its too late. An entire generation had their brains fried. But yeah, better late than never.

Also the brain can actually recover. But it takes a lot of work.

For me, just reading a book is difficult now. The mind is not used to that kind of focus. My eyes go down the page, and then I realize ive been thinking of something else, and have to start over. This happens over and over again. But with practice, it gets easier.

They would be banned in a world where human happiness was the priority, but we live in a world where profits is the priority. I think in 50 years, there are two scenarios. Either humanity has learned to value happiness over profits, or we live in actual dystopia, with robots patrolling against “rebels”, implants, surveillance, Ai… Entire package from sci-fi.

Loved that guy! Need to rewatch xfiles…

I actually did rewatch it all a few years ago. Its quite good, but I see now as a older guy that David Duchovny actually wasnt very good playing Moulder. Didnt notice it as a kid but yeah, he is just reading lines with the same facial expression all the time. If you havent noticed, try rewatching with that in mind… :)

Gillian Anderson is amazing though, really good actress and she was paid much less than Moulder, despite being able to actually act properly.

Ive used it for 30 years… :)

Ubisoft, they are still alive. Wow. Well not much longer we can hope.

I mean, its fine if you dont subscribe to my way of thinking. You wouldnt have the same thinking in a monk or a businessman. Two people cant even agree on what color they want at home sometimes.

I dont think we will agree on this topic. For me, I see a human being as a more spiritual being than you do, with a soul and a purpose. If you subscribe to the typical western idea of humans just being animals, then I totally understand why its fine to behave in any way that benefit you (as long as it doesnt put you in trouble of course).

What ive read, and what is accurate according to my experience, is that its very fast for creating smaller pieces of code, like scripts, foundations, docs etc. So with a small context, its great.

As soon as you start to ask it to add features to a larger code base, it will mess things up and add code that is not necessary, and add extra complexity. And it will now be slower to use Ai than before, because now you are spending time iterating and correcting, and you may not even get a working solution at all.

Thats my experience with Ai.

I think it does speed things up, since it can generate syntax quickly, but its not very good code and leads to a big mess. Eventually you want to rewrite from scratch yourself.

But I think it helps for sure. The alternative to find all syntax yourself and write it correctly is very time cons unik, although you also gain a much better understanding by doing that.

No, gpt is much better. I dont know how it works behind the scenes but I think Copilot is what Microsoft built and gpt is what open ai built.

I still think it will, if a good president is selected. But can the US select a good president? That is more doubtful to me actually. I havent seen anyone good since Obama. And even him was disliked by some.

Why a human being shouldnt sell their body for money?

That sounds hopeful. :) Even if its just like any browser on Linux, fun to try it for a while.

Try cosmic, its very smooth and just works.

I guess its more simular to gnome than to kde so you should like it.
