Chuck Tingle is a treasure.

You know I keep seeing this, and I keep trying AI, and my experience really just does not track with the grandiose claims y’all keep making. Maybe you’re some canned code shop with crap devs, but even then I’m real curious what the use case is where AI agents can take over from real devs like you’re claiming. Sounds like marketing hype more than anything.

“But have you considered that it might not be a fundamental misrepresentation of the capabilities of our system but instead: skill issue?”

I know there’s a temptation to call “skill issue” when you see anecdotal evidence that runs counter to your own experience, but I can say with some degree of professional certainty that no, I know what I’m doing. These tools have their uses, but their general applicability is vastly overstated (if I were the kind of cynical person that enjoyed being right, I would say intentionally overstated in an effort to attain profitability on bootstraps made of hype). And I wanna clarify that I do indeed use AI tools, especially security tools, with some regularity. But the hype-doomer thing that some people have about this, oh woe it’s going to destroy an entire conceptual industry, that just isn’t what’s happening.

I implied you were neither of those things - I just quite openly called you a shill. Perhaps you should ask an AI for tips on improving your reading comprehension?

You don’t understand, all that suffering and all those dead babies are part of His plaaaaaaan. How can you even have morals without believing in god, please excuse the piles of dead babies.

AR glasses could be great - I’ve had a couple dev pairs and there’s real potential to the tech. But they all suffered from a total lack of developer support, which was a real problem given they were banking on outside devs filling out their app stores. The snap glasses here seem like they’re going to have the same problems as the apple vision and microsoft’s hololens (which was SO GOOD why the FUCK did they never release it?? Fucking M$…) in that the initial userbase will be tiny due to the price, thus there’s going to be few hobby devs who can afford to buy in and there will be no incentive for the professional devs to invest in developing such a tiny potential market that relies entirely on a single proprietary piece of hardware.

It’s genuinely depressing you’re so creatively stifled that you haven’t encountered a task that meets those conditions yourself, but if you’re gonna throw down a mitten in challenge, who am I to refuse? Novel reporting across diverse data systems! That’s not even a mid developer task, that’s intern shit - and good luck getting an agent to deal with that one lmao.

Hey, that’s nice! you’re actually trying to engage, although you’re immediately undermining it with the whole “best scenario” thing where you try to cast my example as somehow doubtful instead of “something we regularly test”. But to answer your question, data management has proven pretty resilient to AI - we do use it, it’s a great way to fill out boilerplate code, but AI currently fundamentally lacks the ability to manage large complex architecture, most adhoc reporting or even middling novel applications (and holy shit it’s bad at dynamic SQL). From your description of your job you’re not doing anything (and I swear this isn’t a value judgement on you personally) particularly interesting - IDK if you’re devops or webdev or appdev or what - but there are segments of software development that have been largely “solved problems” for many years; the humans mostly manage and direct tools, and are kept around to solve the interesting and challenging problems. Within those segments, AI has been extremely effective at integrating into, and with some caveats about how much it screws up in devops accelerating, workflows, in an ideal world freeing up the humans to focus even more of their time on the interesting problems (in practice this has led people to think they can lay off their devops team, with disaster not far behind). In the rest, AI truly is not at the point it can live up to it’s promises, and the cost in tokens trying to integrate it is often astronomical. From how you approach this, I get the impression that you don’t have much experience outside your segment or role - it’s worth not being quite so pig-headed about this when Lemmy, which hosts a population of users heavy with non-mainstream disciplines, shares their own anecdotal experience about this subject. It’s not nearly as cut-and-dry as the massive propaganda engines would have you believe.

That you’ve gone from “I bet you can’t name even one thing AI can’t do”, to being told something it can’t do, and now you’re ignoring that whole interaction and telling anecdotes about AI says a great deal about your conviction to your own arguments.

I wasn’t being insincere - I understand what you’re saying, but your condescension while explaining something that was not unclear, nor was it actually the case, and the kinda-sideways arrogance of speaking for the group (and now escalating to cheap trolling when I don’t play along) is unwelcome. That said, I did genuinely appreciate you taking the time to clarify.

You’re not exactly giving me much to work with - anecdotal evidence is not fact, and rhetoric is not logic.

(Dude you’ve been trying the “smug condescension” thing for like two hours and nobody’s playing along, why are you still trying that?)

Dude, come on - what are you actually trying to accomplish here? All you’re doing is throwing a tantrum because people don’t agree with you, and that’s pretty unpleasant behavior.

No, thank you!

Now do plasma.

… So you don’t really have a goal here beyond just offering up sad bait, huh?

Nothing you’ve said can even be commented on with facts and logic - and my goal isn’t to debate you, but to point out that you’re either wasting your time or aren’t terribly good at trolling.

Hmm. No, but thank you for your contribution.

Got some of that devil’s lettuce, huh?

I sent her this thread and she’s asked me to tell you that she likes this so much she’s getting a “SQL is for Moms!” T-shirt printed.

I tag folks based off interactions, so after a couple years on here there's a lot of names I recognize. Most of them are regular posters or admins (Pugjesus, Stametz, Violet08, Mrdown, Picard Manuver, Geneva Convenience, ada, db0, etc. who don't need to be bothered with tags) or people who I have a special friendship with like @AntiBullyRanger@ani.social (I really hope you're doin' okay) or my legit bro @toynbee@piefed.social

Then theres various regular commentators on my NSFW posts like @StrangeBedfellow@lemmynsfw.com and @Keepthoseeyeslockedonmine@kinkycats.org who I appreciate a ton!

(Personally, I was once asked out of the blue by @WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today to give my opinion in a discussion about battery tech. I think at the end this will probably be where I consider my life to have peaked.)

The Campaign for North Africa (CNA), subtitled The Desert War, 1940–43, is a strategic board wargame published by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) in 1978 that simulates the entire North African campaign of World War II. It is considered one of the most complex wargames ever published, with ten recommended players and an estimated total playtime of 1,500 hours. The game could not be fully playtested before release and it is unknown if a game has ever been completed.

yeah this seems like a 70s ill-convieved joke-performance-art-passion-project more than a real "game".

Yep, I've never really heard Rappelling used in the commonwealth countries (outside of super tourist-y areas).

no anything

Well besides absolute shitloads of farms, which some correct people might consider less than glamorous but which still have to go somewhere - and which every developing nation also needs many of. Seriously, this is a deeply apples-to-things-that-aren't-apples comparison.

I wonder how they’re going to cool it? Edit: Oh. So they’re just… not doing that. Okay. Hmm. In the meantime, the company is taking baby steps. For now, the company is limited to just 15 minutes of operation in space before the chips have to be shut off to cool back down.

Sometimes it doesn’t boot.

I know it’s true of both ears and anuses, but I haven’t seen any studies about genitals. At a guess I’d think they’re too flippy-floppy for you to be able to reliably identify enough landmarks to use as unique identifiers.

Uh-huh. CIA archives, is that what it is now? Last I checked the only evidence of CIA involvement was an incredibly tenuous link to a hungarian immigrant group that was founded several years afterwards. But there’s archives now, are there? Can we see them, please? Reports from the actual CIA archives sure make it sound like they didnt even know what was happening, let alone have any control over it. In fact according to them, they didn’t even have officers there and completely fucked up the entire thing, which they doubtlessly would have liked to have supported, thruough what can only be described as “wild incompetence”.

Nope, you’ve repeatedly asserted a large number of people recognize her as sexist. The only thing that approaches having “demonstrated” her “well-documented” misandry is the single incredibly begrudging example you provided - one that multiple other people have also referenced, and which is at very worst a quite bad take from an otherwise pretty progressive artist. You’ve refused to show anyone this well documented pattern of misandry, but you’re quick to claim you have. And that kind of openly deceptive behavior is exactly why it’s so important to ask for sources.

It’s not nothing because it’s weird they had it specifically listed in the first place and then felt the need to specify when updating, but it’s not nearly as dramatic as some of the memes make it out to be. The FBI updated their hiring guidelines and removed several things from automatic disqualification; among them, prostitution/sex work, Marijuana use & beastiality. They’ve all been adjusted ‘down’ in severity, so now you’re allowed to explain the situation (up to some limits, beyond which is still automatic disqualification).

In this case the nuance and intention both are “they admit they knew these were nazi symbols but decided to send them out anyways, fully aware it may cause offense”. While you yourself may be ignorant of common nazi symbols (and I envy you that particular source of bliss), as evidenced by at least this thread, you are (perhaps fortunately) not representative of the whole population.

(Dude this thread is 3 days old)

For the most part I like lemmy, but the community is incredibly incel-heavy. One of the most successful forms of bait on here (besides political trolling) is posting any even slightly contentious topic about women’s experiences in society or things like institutional sexism. Seriously, keep an eye out - it’s depressingly predictable.

First: What an absolutely spectacular example of Argumentum ad populum! Unfortunately no, just because you got upvotes does not establish your claim that it’s well documented. “Many people believing” something does not make that something true (#EdgyAthiestHumor). But well done on finally finding a real logical fallacy! _ Second: “You claim this is well-documented but refuse to show us that documentation" *"Well you’re sealioning!" No. Sealioning is a bit like DARVO: while they are useful concepts in sociology, you cannot simply throw the terms out like Pokemon and expect them to do all the work for you. Yes, I know you begrudgingly provided a single link, I talked about that. Your single link didn’t at all establish your claims, as multiple people have explained. Asking for actual proof of your claims is not bombarding you with requests, it’s a single request that you have utterly failed to address. _ You gotta realize this is just not a great look for you.

I do wish it was innate to lemmy like it is in piefed so they’d (theoretically?) carry over between mobile and web, but yeah it’s very nice.

Got a link?

Criticism of a person’s behavior when that’s the subject at hand is not an ad homeniem, it’s the argument. You’ve got a long history of misapplying logical fallacies and taking these sorts of commentaries where a man is portrayed negatively incredibly personally and then poorly defending your claims. For example: elsewhere in this thread, where you’ve refused to back up your claims that the author is a “well documented” misandrist. If it’s well documented, it should not be a burden for you to provide evidence, and yet you refuse repeatedly.

It’s porn though, and in porn there’s essentially no market for male content. It would for sure be nice, but even on deeply egalitarian leftist-heavy Lemmy, posting male content on c/gonewild will get you downvoted for your time.

No, don’t play his game - play a better one, call it Lake Obama

I’m directly criticizing two separate things: your behavior, and your claim that pizzacake is a well documented misandrist. That your behavior is remarkably predictable around these issues doesn’t invalidate your claim; we get the conclusion that your claim is baseless from the way you refuse to support it. Neither of those are an ad hominem or a whattaboutism, and you would be well served by finding out what those terms represent before you try and defend yourself with them.

And I wanted a hoboe!

To contribute my own corpse to the hill, the section of the rule specifically discussing bestiality existed long before the current administration. Their updating of the rules to be less absolute probably should have dropped the explicit callout entirely (because uh… guys, how often does that come up that it needs to be specified??) but it’s important context that this rule change wasn’t done in a vacuum, it was a pretty wide reduction in automatic disqualifications. It really does seem like this is just a flashy but bullshit distraction from all the other, much more heinous shit that’s going on.

No harm done. Have a lovely rest of your day!

I don’t think you understand how that term works, and you cannot simply throw it out like a pokemon and hope it does the work for you.

Basically, yep. This drone is designed primairly as a target drone; since one of the things the US most wants to be shooting down is Shaheds, the form and capabilites are very similar for training use.

Nope! And gay pornography is very different from gay adult services.

I’m told it does, though I don’t use it personally so I’m not sure how it works thru that app.

GOG was worth supporting for that reason ( until their recent little Nazi incident…) but Epic is far worse for the games industry than anything steam has ever done. Holding games hostage exclusive to try and force people to use their shitty platform is much worse than steam saying the steam price has to match the lowest price off-steam…

I have you tagged “the reason women choose the bear” over your behavior the last time that came up - you have a long long history of being an incel and claiming any criticism of a man is criticism of all men, which you’re doing yet again in this thread.
