You can’t spare a square?!
Yeah it’s one of those things that in theory it could make sense, it could be. However since we are humans, there does not exist any way that would not be morally abhorrent to some group of people. There’s zero way that in doing it this way wouldn’t destroy x group of people. And that’s why it can never be done. Eugenics is just too close to genocide.
This is like, the entirety of nextdoor. That is the most toxic place on the Internet
Oh man, that would have been so great. Think of all the networking stacks that could have just been silently upgraded. Just some letters/numbers appended to the front or back. If you only get x bytes then prepend with zeroes. Adoption would have been mostly transparent.
Yeah, bad take. I’m doing well myself, but I had to go into well over 6 digits of debt and about 10 years just to get here. For most people that’s just impossible. You are the one who need the reality check here. Just because we got lucky doesn’t mean we can give up fighting for a better life for others.
They’re not asking for Maseratis. They’re asking to make enough to not worry about eating. I’d say that should be a thing even for unskilled labor.
Because we have reason, understanding. Take something as simple as the XY problem. Humans understand that there are nuances to prompts and questions. I like the XY because a human knows to step back and ask “what are you really trying to do?”. AI doesn’t have that capability, it doesn’t have reasoning to say “maybe your approach is wrong”.
So, I’m not the one to define what it is or on what scale. But I can say that it’s not human intelligence.
yeah yeah I’ve heard this argument before. “What is learning if not like training.” I’m not going to define it here. It doesn’t “think”. It doesn’t have nuance. It is simply a prediction engine. A very good prediction engine, but that’s all it is. I spent several months of unemployment teaching myself the ins and outs, developing against llms, training a few of my own. I’m very aware that it is not intelligence. It is a very clever trick it pulls off, and easy to fool people that it is intelligence - but it’s not.
That’s literally how llma work, they quite literally are just next word predictors. There is zero intelligence to them.
It’s literally a while token is not “stop”, predict next token.
It’s just that they are pretty good at predicting the next token so it feels like intelligence.
So on your graph, it would be a vertical line at 0.
One thing I’ve been reading is how the younger generations haven’t grown up with what we call traditional technology. There are people entering the workforce who have used iPads for most of their lives and don’t know what a directory structure is, or a file share, or basic word/excel/pp skills. Think about it, iPads made it so easy by showing most recent items that they don’t even really know ehat folders are.
Those are all things I took in my first few computer classes. How to make a word doc. Basic formulas in excel. How to make a PowerPoint do a star wipe. Those are real tangible skills that everyone should know entering the workforce. Then, if people show a talent for it, I would encourage them to pursue something like programming.
People here are suggesting low level things like bash scripting because it’s what we know and think is important, but for most people it’s things like how are files stored, and how do I sum a column in excel?
Agree, hr is more or less a one stop shop to being fired. Op is right, they’ll immediately label you someone who is willing to speak up, what’s the addage? The beach who perks up gets pruned. HR isn’t necessarily there to protect the company, but the status quo. They don’t want anyone making noise, else it is bad for everyone.
Yeah people did this in drive thrus and thought they were being cute. It’s real cute until the next person ordered 6x as much as you did.
A nice thing to do is to see a mother struggling to pay for her groceries and offering to step in and to put them on yours. Paying it forwards sets off a weird chain of guilt that is not as nice.
I haven’t been there in over a year now, but it sounds about the same as it was then.
Here on Lemmy we just defederate with horrible instances and start our own communities!
Awareness is 90% of the battle. Just being aware of where you are, what you’re doing, and who’s around you will keep you safe. In my city, and others like NY, I’m always shocked at tourists who are just so blatently tourists. Stopped on the sidewalk, pointing up at the big buildings, completely unaware of the world outside of them. Not only is it incredibly inconsiderate to the people around you, but it makes you an easy target.
The rest for me is confidence. I used to get nervous when I saw a large group of people that I’d have to walk through/around, but now it’s just a normal thing. Just confidently walk past them, don’t look at them, just keep going, and I’ve never been hassled. Hell I’ve had to literally step over people sitting on the ground before, just don’t look like you’re nervous and it’ll go well. If you go out expecting something to go wrong, it probably will. If you look like you go there a million times, no one will care.
Cities really have gotten safer, it’s pretty safe to just walk down any street now in most cities. Just don’t be an idiot walking around looking like you don’t belong offering an easy score.
I’ve seen people spend money on less I guess
It was fun before… like 20 years ago. Now it’s just… eh. Apple users don’t care about any of that. They want a device that “just works” and has their ecosystem. They’re trapped in it, but eh, what’s the point. They aren’t going to convert, and after converting some people you learn you just become tech support for them.
Don’t forget to add in the primary reason they don’t want to implement it is exactly because of comment’s like OPs, because it makes it look like Android phones are the problem. Most people assume that it’s because it’s an android it doesn’t work right, and so everyone should just have iPhones. Why fix what is already great marketing for them, even if it is a complete lie?

Edit: Apparently some people missed the irony.
So I’d say the posting frequency here on Lemmy is pretty good then!
+1 for the Bungie Era Halo franchises, IMO they have one of the best stories, and they honestly all hold up well. Plus you have so much that you can burn through with friends, and it has such deep lore you’ll be chatting for hours.
1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach are all great for this. 1 and 2 support 2 players. 3, ODST, and Reach support 4 players
