Once I asked google to remove my house from street view and it turned from a normal house to a blur, a bunch of shitty web scrapers thought it was recently renovated, so they started sending me ads for insurance to cover “my new upgrades”

No one on LinkedIn has a real job, they’re all just bragging about being self-employed or paid to post there to “generate positive public opinion on 50 hour work weeks”.

At some level, I’m just jealous of these people for getting what they voted for. I haven’t gotten what I voted for ever since I was old enough to vote.

Honestly, an absolute classic. I read it every couple of years whenever this pops up on the internet, and it’s still good every time. Truly superb.

Yes, but they usually came at the same price.

Vance should say thank you.

In my experience, if you didn’t write the function that creates the list, there’s a solid chance it could be None too, and if you try to check the length of None, you get an error. This is also why returning None when a function fails is bad practice IMO, but that doesn’t seem to stop my coworkers.

All time high was right before the election at ~45k, and now it’s around 40k, so about 11% down. Not sure where you came up with 30%, but it never even got close to that. A 30% drop would be around 31k, and the lowest it hit was around 37k. We all hate Trump, but don’t just make up numbers for internet points.

And daddy Putin wants it.

Python does not need to be compiled, have you ever used it?

Can you please articulate why Python and Bash are so different in your eyes?

Yeah, I guess the guy who basically can’t drive for the rest of his life and probably hasn’t driven much ever wouldn’t care about the auto industry.

EEE is a tool to steal users, not products. In the case of Microsoft, using EEE tactics with Linux is to convince people that they can stay on a Windows machine and get their work done, so they don’t need a Linux computer. In the Fediverse, thr value of stealing users is much more obvious.

They’re government employees, so they’re paid on the GS scale, plus a cost-of-living adjustment by region. Of course they’re making over 100k, that just means they’re a college graduate with about 10 years of experience living in DC.

No, this will be the AI that ignores your content and just spits out sponsored content. AI doesn’t really have to be involved much, but if it is, Google doesn’t have to pay up when you file a class action lawsuit for misleading content because they can say “It’s not our fault, thr AI did it.”

Not my face though!

The government has mostly turned a blind eye to dark pattern business for years, and now the president is openly saying that he encourages it and wants companies to step up their game. Of course things are going to get worse, especially now where everyone will have forgotten this by the next election, so it’ll get to stay as “the norm”

You can’t simultaneously have an executable that operates in a private sandbox and maintain all the features expected of the programming language.

I mean, this is also an area where neural networks will improve things. Neural networks are excellent for optimizing data with an extremely large amount of input variables, as is the case here. You don’t need language models, you don’t need to steal all the content on the internet for training. You have analysis tools that will easily validate any solution, so you’re not going to deal with mystery hallucinations.

“It turns out that the known Russian agent was never interested in helping Ukraine, and everyone is acting like this is surprising for some reason”

I should switch jobs and write news headlines.
