Same. I keep thinking back to my time TAing for an intro programming course and getting students who just add random braces until their code compiles. That’s me right now with Rust pointers.

As a developer? You’re not going to get very far if you refuse to write websites for the world’s current most popular browser.

Having come from the world of C++, this was a huge step up.

Yep. It’s part of their mating ritual. You can learn more about it at c/fuckcars.

Microsoft is working very hard at getting into this data game. Don’t think they won’t try making similar deals.

Are we looking at a future where we need a search engine to tell us which search engine to use for your queries?

If no one can make sense of the change, then you reject it. Makes no difference if it was generated with an LLM or copy-pasted from Stackoverflow.

It’s not completely subjective. Think about it from an information theory perspective. We want a word that maximizes the amount of information conveyed, and there are many situations where you need a word that distinguishes AGI, LLMs, deep learning, reinforcement learning, pathfinding, decision trees and the like from the outputs of other computer science subfields. “AI” has historically been that word, so redefining it without a replacement means we don’t have a word for this thing we want to talk about anymore.

I refuse to replace a single commonly used word in my vocabulary with a full sentence. If anyone wants to see this changed, then offer an alternative.

Or, make it fade more and more for each “unique” visitor. Make sure it hits after they start their marketing campaign.

Reminds me of this story of the wifi that only worked when it rained

This is a problem with the add-on store, not the browser. Do the forks have their own add-on stores? Or do they just use the same one that Mozilla provides? To the best of my knowledge, the only forks that have their own stores are the ones that wouldn’t be able to use Firefox plugins anyway (e.g. Palemoon).

I don’t think forking Firefox is going to change what you see in the add-on store. You would need someone to run their own store. Or just install the plugin manually.

“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”

This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they’re trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.

Implying perfect code exists anywhere.

It’s also trivially easy to tell if you’re presenting someone else’s work as your own. In an interview, you ask about their projects. Those would be very easy (and often fun) for the actual creator to answer, and not for anyone else.

Instructions unclear. Stash is 35 tall and I’m scared to look at what’s been fermenting at the bottom.

Very relatable. Especially when it’s less effort to make the change than it is to try and ignore it. But it’s understandably harder for those who are reviewing your work.

Responding to your first two paragraphs:

The enjoyability of a piece of art isn’t independent of the creator. I will only speak for myself since I don’t know other people’s experiences. When you see something that tickles the happy part of your brain, part of that emotional response is in knowing that there’s another person out there who probably felt that way and wanted to share those feeling with you. In experiencing those emotions, you also experience a connection with another human being. The knowledge that you’re not alone and someone else out there has experienced the same thing. I wouldn’t read through the credits because I don’t care who that person is. I just care that this person existed. When you look at AI generated work and it just feels empty despite the surface beauty, this is the missing piece. It’s the human connection.

Tbh, I’d rather work and line the shareholders pockets a little bit more than be bored out of my mind in a pointless meeting.

All my honey at home is 80-85% sugar. Internet confirms this number. I’m not seeing facts here.

Secondly, the comment implies that dilution doesn’t make a difference because the concentration is already low. Soda is also 20% syrup and 80% water. How do you think it’ll taste if you make it 10% syrup and 90% water?
