Of course a sheep cheese philistine would argue in the comments. Get on the Llama cheese level
- Comment on Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again? 1 week ago:
If AI can do your job in minutes you’re either: A fool pumping out AI slop someone else has to fix and you don’t realize it.
Or
Doing a job that really shouldn’t exist.
LLMs can’t do more than shove out a watered down average of things it’s seen before. It can’t really solve problems, it can’t think, all it can do is regurgitate what it’s seen before. Not exactly conducive to quality.

My buddy and I weren’t doing so hot last year and used Halo Infinite as our therapy. Pretty sure both of us alternated between being called a bot and a cheater every other match. It’s amazing sometimes just how bad you can do and still be called a cheater. (High plat to low diamond lobbies, we weren’t amazing)
- Comment on Google tells employees it must double capacity every 6 months to meet AI demand 1 week ago:
Moore’s “law” died back in 2016. It’s not held for a while now. The only way they can scale the way they want without a major breakthrough is more power and larger machines
- Comment on How far you've fallen 3 weeks ago:
Definitely not my experience at four different companies or what I’ve seen from my friends venting. I’m kind of jealous.
The only time I’ve gotten to improve things already written is when we had a specific contract to do so once. Other than that, yeah, small bug fixes but otherwise new development only.

Oh good lord no. Who knows what bacteria they’ll start ingesting because the water is “raw”
- Comment on How far you've fallen 3 weeks ago:
You get to manage code? Once it’s shipped it’s gone. There’s no time for refactor and only tackle major bugs. That’s the corporate way
- Comment on How far you've fallen 3 weeks ago:
“Sometimes being a programmer isn’t about the code you write, it’s about knowing which libraries to use. It still takes skill.” I tell myself as I add my 20th nuget package instead of writing ten lines of code to reverse a string.

Although I agree and run a free grill myself, this looks like one of those computer controlled pellet smokers, not a regular grill. Not a straight comparison to grilling.

- Comment on Take-Two’s CEO doesn’t think a Grand Theft Auto built with AI would be very good [VGC] 4 weeks ago:
Yeah AI is not the right choice for this. Plenty of procedural algorithms for this already. It’s just very cost expensive hardware wise.
- Comment on Is it weird to simultaneously feel love and hatred towards parents? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, sounds like you’re starting to figure some things out for yourself. This is all natural and fine. You’re empathizing with the choices they made and trying to understand why but also recognizing issues you have.
Keep thinking and growing. You’ll do fine.
I also didn’t have friends growing up. It’s never too late, just can take more effort. I didn’t really start thriving until after college.
- Comment on Health Secretary Kennedy says there's 'not sufficient' proof to show Tylenol causes autism 4 weeks ago:
It’s cool. I’ll just give them paracetamol. They won’t know
- Comment on Is it weird to simultaneously feel love and hatred towards parents? 4 weeks ago:
It really depends on why you hate them. Lots of parents truly care but are terrible at expressing anything other than commands. This can lead to a lot of tension as you grow older and begin to want more freedom.
My parents were abusive assholes. Mother was a classic narcissist who would make us compete for signs of her affection. I hate her completely for how she raised us, but recognize that part of her had to actually care as she did put a lot of effort into our education.
It’s a complex relationship between a parent and child.

I don’t know if they’re accustomed to the norms more but Hooters starts as in person encounter. It’s already a very different dynamic from lurking online amongst hundreds watching a person knowing they can’t see you.

Sadly I’ve still never seen any real papers on this being an actual theory.
I’m still want to believe I’m Ent livestock though.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 month ago:
It’s not always about the user count though. It’s about your end goals. There’s two types of social engineering. Mass and targeted. You’re focusing on the mass social engineering.
Say you want specific information on how Crowdstrike works. You could launch a massive social engineering campaign on Twitter but if you don’t catch any of the engineers who work at Crowdstrike then what’s the point? You just spent all that money for nothing. It would be better to find where those engineers socialize online and try to inject yourself there, doesn’t matter the size of that community and it could very well be on Lemmy in one of the programmer communities.
Now if you want to convince the entire world of something then yeah, focus on the big user counts, don’t worry about the small fry communities. It’s all about your end goal.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 month ago:
Sometimes it’s not just the numbers but who those numbers are. Depending on what you’re trying to achieve, influencing all the techy Linux nerds that seem to make up Lemmy might be more helpful than just blowing into the wind for as many as possible on Twitter or whatever.
I’ve got no data either way on this, just some basic social engineering training for work.

- Comment on I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions) 1 month ago:
I helped my last company not fully unionize but come together to demand change. I got the support of several teams backing me to confront management on their return to office policy. Management changed their minds quick.
It’s not easy and was basically a second job for a few months for me, but you could always try to start the unionization effort.
- Comment on I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions) 1 month ago:
It depends on why it’s toxic. You say it’s the people but that can still vary a lot. If it’s because the other people are constantly attacking and belittling you then I’d (personally) just put my head down, do my work, and keep a hunt for a new job on the side.
If however they’re “difficult” because they’re set in their ways and don’t like change and aren’t good at expressing their point of view and you find yourself clashing on what to do and how. It’s different. I’ve found I can adapt to those kinds of people and we eventually find a rhythm that works for both of us.
I’ll also add I’ve had jobs with five different companies with people from many countries, and I’ve yet to find a job where at least some of the people aren’t toxic. I’ve sometimes had success requesting moves to teams/projects away from the most toxic people. But unfortunately “knuckle down and put up with crappy people” is what’s worked the best. But only you can know for yourself if you can do that in your current situation.
I’d also be looking for an EU sugar mama as much as possible on the side.
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 1 month ago:
Kind of? The cells, called adipocytes, primarily store triglycerides and a few other things in a liquid form. When you lose weight that liquid gets squeezed out and used as energy, to build other chemicals your body needs, or peed straight out.
So less a shower and more getting rung out like a sponge.
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 1 month ago:
The 7 year thing is a myth. Howtown has a very good summary on it. 7 year myth some cells are replaced but how often depends on the cell type, some never get replaced.
When you gain weight your fat cells grow, and when you lose weight they shrink. You don’t actually gain and lose fat cells the way people think. However, the stuff in those cells could very well be old. It’s a complex system and hard to sum up and I’m only friends with the biology people from college but that’s what I understand from them.
