Hoo boy Netanyahu is gonna be invading Elon Musk and having settlers selling up shop in 3, 2, 1 …
- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 1 week ago:
Yeah we’ve structured the system so companies are mostly only responsible to shareholders, and shareholders really only care about short term gains with their only liability from the company is financial. Companies are always going have a focus on short term gains because thats what the system demands.

Yeah the whole missing entry level job thing for most industries is going to backfire with exploding wages for experienced people. Without training grads and apprentices there’s an ever decreasing pool of experienced people to pick from.

I find the AI summary can be helpful when searching, but also not much more helpful than a summary of the first few search results which are mostly only loosely related paid for advertising …

So do you frame the problem to the LLM, get it to spot out an example piece of code and then run through that initial attempt to get an idea of how to approach the problem? Kind of like prototyping the problem?
I take it you find that more efficient than traditional code planning methods? Or do you then start building flow charts/pseudo code from that prototype and confirm the logic to build more readable or efficient code?

My gut feeling, based on the kind of repetitive nonsense I see them produce and bang on about, is that a lot of management types see AI efficiency because the work they do is repetitive and easily aided by AI input so they assume everything can be improved by it.
Not to say I don’t see the benefits of a good manager, I just don’t think they are that common.

That’s pretty great, what kind of things do you use the PowerShell scripts for?

Does anyone here actually see productivity improvements to their roles from using AI?
I’m a telecoms engineer and I see limited use cases in my role for AI. If I need to process data then I need something that can do math reliably. For document generation I can only reliably get it to build out a structure and even then I’ve more than likely got an existing document the I can use as a structure template.
Network design, system specification and project engineering are all so specific to the use case and have so few examples provided in public data sets that anything AI outputs is usually nonsense.
Am I missing some use cases here?
Also, if you do see productivity improvements from AI, why would you tell your employer? They want a 5 day working week but they know what they expect to be achieved in that week, so that’s what they get.

To be fair Russia is at war with the US as well, just they’ve captured the government

He knows the Nazis would have straight up murdered him without even blinking right?
It seems Mr West has been on a wild algorithm ride over the last few years.
- Comment on My Tesla Model Y Insurance Safety Score Keeps Dropping When I Drive, But I Can’t Tell What Tesla Thinks I’m Doing Wrong 1 month ago:
I wonder if her GPS chip is cooked or theres something physically stopping it from seeing enough satellites accurately and it’s reporting her jumping around the road at high speed as it struggles to get a good location lock.

Well at least he’s not potentially losing his seat to that evil prick Tim Wilson.

I think that’s just Facebook, surely no people actually use it any more?
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 2 months ago:
Maybe they can sell their AI Slop to AI slop? Really cut people right out of the equation.
- Comment on PROTEIN BRO 3 months ago:
I’m not sure supplements are ever fun … but they can help with getting enough protein if you’re lifting or an additional energy boost via creatine … protein powder can taste nice but you need to watch out for macros if it’s too delicious, I’ve never had a nice creatine.
Or by fun do you mean preworkouts? I think there’s limits to preworkout value when what you really need for workout energy are easily digestible carbs over caffine or other cruft.
- Comment on PROTEIN BRO 3 months ago:
Yeah you can’t run off a bad diet, you do need to make sure you are getting enough protein aligned with your goals, and some fats, but outside of that, you just need to eat less than you burn.
Running might help increase the deficit a bit, or give you some extra food, but you’re probably going to struggle to cover thousands of additional calories.
- Comment on Trump rejects Australia's bid for tariff exemptions 3 months ago:
We should put a matched tariff on aluminium and steel exports just to make sure the Americans really feel how expensive their shit is about to get, also to skim some sweet government revenue for ourselves
- Comment on New definition of antisemitism endorsed by 39 universities 4 months ago:
I don’t think the state of Israel should be ended, but I do think the Nazis running it should be strung up in the Hague for their crimes against humanity.
Some consideration probably needs to be given to restoring the borders of Palestine to at least half of its original area.

- Comment on what exercises work for you to avoid back pain? 5 months ago:
The McGill Big Three for starters?
Then deadlifts, RDLs, Lat Pull Downs, rows. Deadlifts are great for your erectors but the fatigue is a lot so you’re probably better of with RDLs.

- Comment on what works for you to let go? 6 months ago:
My toddler has really taught me how to control my anger, there’s something about having someone slap you in the face and scream at you while you carry them to the car without having any recourse other than asking them to calm down and please stop hitting you that really teaches you how to find some zen …
