So my mentor’s mentor used to program for some ancient TI machine that used drum memory. He was a master of his craft and wrote his code deliberately so it would physically align with the next rotation of the drum, ensuring the fastest reads possible, and it cut tons of time off of every process run on them.

I can’t even imagine what it is like to even write naked binary, let alone make sure every single one of my operation sets are the same length.

Arguably it was perfect optimization.

He still got laid off with zero thought when the time came.

I’s there a lesson here? I don’t know, I’m drunk

I’ve already blocked them so I can’t link though I reported it too so maybe some mod woke their lazy ass up and deleted it as they should have.

I’m writing a short horror story that will at least illustrate what I see is the problem. That’s a form that can be easier to digest

I’m so glad blocks are free.

LLMs are able to shape human beliefs.

FUCKING THANK YOU!

I have been trying to get people to understand that the danger of AI isn’t some deviantart pngtuber not getting royalties for their Darkererer Sanic OC, but the fact that AI can appear like any other person on the internet, can engage from multiple accounts, and has access to their near entire web history and can make 20 believable scenarios absolutely catered to every weakness in that person’s psychology.

I’m glad your post is getting at least some traffic, but even then it’s not gonna be enough.

The people that understand the danger have no power to stop it, the people with the power to stop it are profiting off of it and won’t stop unless pressured.

And we can’t pressure them if we are arguing art rights and shitposting constantly.

logic isn’t the only way to persuade, in fact all evidence seems to show it works on very few people.

Everyone discounts sincere emotional arguments but frankly that’s all I’ve ever seen work on conspiracyheads.

1. the person needs to have a connection to the conspiracy theorist that is stronger than the identity valence gained by adopting these conspiracies

2. The person needs to speak emotionally and sincerely, using direct experience (cookie cutter rarely works here)

3. The person needs to genuinely desire for the improvement of the other’s life

That is the only way I have ever witnessed it personally work, and it still took weeks.

… I’m going back to reddit where at least the mods of /r/science kept the memes out

You only think that way because the material for a tire is all in one place and easy to see.

Paint on the other hand is effectively invisible when we ‘inventory’ a space mentally.

So a tire in the middle of your living room seems like a lot of rubber but all the paint over every inch of the wall in the same room doesnt, even if the room is big enough for the paint to fill the volume of the tire.

The problem in using biodegradeable materials to build things is that it degrades. Do you really want your wiring insulation decaying?

I fucking hate lemmy now, you are just reddit with a sense of undeserved elitism.

This is a serious as fuck problem and all that anyone replies with are jokes and shitposts.

This is fucking /c/science, not /c/sciencememes

But none of you care especially the mods, so I’m just blocking every one of you.

edit: There’s an entire subthread here that is nothing but masturbation jokes, which of course the mods ignore.

Fuck lemmy and its shitstain mod team same as the reddit mods but with worse hygiene. At least on reddit they keep /r/science clean

It’s certainly xenophobia at the very least

Can you imagine a better person to appoint for your harbormaster? Or even a harbormaster assistant, this guy would do it for free and do it better than anyone.

The nuance could start a rhetorical war

Can we just give a hand to the who ST team who whiplashed Klingons from a poorly defined eternal enemy into one of the greatest examples of non-toxic masculinity representation on tv.

Honestly I really think this show is the reason I turned out more compassionate than my parents.

It’s easy for us but those that hold bigotry as part of their identity will have problems.

I am a beast that east a tomato like an apple, it’s gore washing over my chin.

No better way

That is a kingly business model and no mistake!

No, even with such disinformation I owe my parents a reasonable debt for the labor of raising me, but I will use this new knowledge to renegotiate a more beneficial interest rate to be sure.

And here I have been raised to believe that Germans are subtle in their humor…
