I mean it's still unique to the US. Plenty of other, poorer countries have better healthcare.

For the love of God, if you're a junior programmer you're overestimating your understanding if you keep relying on chatGPT thinking 'of course I'll spot the errors'. You will until you won't and you end up dropping the company database or deleting everything in root.

All ChatGPT is doing is guessing the next word. And it's trained on a bunch of bullshit coding blogs that litter the internet, half of which are now chatGPT written (without any validation of course).

If you can't take 10 - 30 minutes to search for, read, and comprehend information on stack overflow or docs then programming (or problem solving) just isn't for you. The junior end of this feel is really getting clogged with people who want to get rich quick without doing any of the legwork behind learning how to be good at this job, and ChatGPT is really exarcebating the problem.

I hate capitalism as much as the next lemming but banks and insurance companies, at their base level, definitely provides a service. Banks help you spread the cost of things over time at the expense of interest, and insurance companies do something similar with risk.

Its only when they do warped shit like lend money at zero interest or force consumers to pay for insurance (thereby negating the need to be competitive) that they start to leech off the system.

I have colleagues who have 20 copies of the same document with slight variations named like this in a folder. I honestly don't understand how they function at work.

Get out and touch grass mate.

Just want to add that if you find a rare ebook not on libgen, do you civic duty and take the time to upload it, it only takes a few minutes and it's rewarding being able to save some time for others.

Wiztree is a good upgrade over windirstat.

Waiters leave > shortage of waiters > wages rise to attract waiters > something something invisible hand > everybody wins

That depends. If discarding food costs $X and distributing it to another market costs $2X guess which option is economically favourable?

This isn't ai...

Autohotkey is the most arcane fucking language I've used, idk why someone hasn't rewritten it in something clearer.

Don't get me wrong, it's incredible. But it's still a variation of the Chinese room experiment, it's not a real intelligence, but really good at pretending to be one. I might trust it more if there were variants based on strictly controlled datasets.

I desperately need this. It's gotten to the point where I don't even consider search results from 2023 anymore.

Lmao, because millionaires are the target demographic fare evading.

But we do live in a currency-based society. That's like saying food only has value in the context of a chemical-energy based society. It's a pointless semantic argument here.

Unless you short. Then you can be -200k!

This x100. I literally never worry about bills anymore.

My guess is that it makes it easier for drivers to detect bends in the road, as the stripes are painted at equal widths, so you can visually tell in your peripheral vision when the road is starting to slope a corner.

Probably too small of an audience but I'm amazed that someone hasn't released a podcast app that has sponsorblock. Podcast ads are so predictable I'd imagine an ML model would have no issue detecting them.

You dropped your '/s'

If its Boeing I ain't landing doesn't have the same ring.

Nah you gotta alias ls -a to la for more efficiency.

The trouble with this I've found is that nobody bothers to learn how you did it (even if the Excel is fairly trivial) and now you're responsible for everyone's Excel sheets. And they constantly find ways to break it no matter how many rules you implement.

Dilbert principle

It's an odd industry-specific thing but in all my life I've never encountered an optometrist who wasn't happy to adjust glasses for free. Just walk into any shop and ask.

Except Singapore has used it plenty of times with flimsy evidence.

Yea, but this was secret service. They're supposed to be the best of the best. I guess not.

I don't get people who are silly enough to pay full price for these single player dlc-chocked games when there are perfectly free, uh, copies online.

IMHO, this happens often enough that I'm 99% certain it's caused by pressure changes. Unless you saw the actual door knobs moving...

They have first-past-the-post voting. So no, unfortunately.

Nah your boss is just getting you to work beyond what you're paid to do.

The problem here is that every junior programmer thinks they write clean code when they really really don't. Often I find the act of writing comments makes you go back to the code and clean things up, so it's still worth encouraging comments.

Try handling any society > 1000 people without any laws or taxes.

You don't have to wait, they're doing it now.

Bosses will never understand this and discourage refactoring until months later nothing works and everything has to be rewritten...

This made me realise it would probably be trivially easy to make QR code stickers that first lead to a phishing page (please enter your payment details) followed by a link to a restaurants actual online ordering page.

Those restaurant ordering apps look so dodgy anyway I bet a quarter of people wouldn't suspect a thing.

Do yourself a favour and sideload Smarttubenext onto the chromecast. No more YouTube ads.

I got that dawg in me

I don't use chatGPT, but work with colleagues who do. They're productivity visibly drops and half the time I gotta fix their shitty code.

Yea, maybe you're just unlucky but I've been running it on my ancient mid-tier 2017 pc and it runs amazingly on high. No major bugs except with throwing weapons.
