In my experience 95% of crimes committed on a digital platform are crimes of social manipulation.
Impersonation, phishing, scams, … It’s all just a social game.

Yeah AI as a dev is shit, but AI as a more thoughtful auto-complete is actually pretty great.
To me it looks like AIs currently are right at the boundary between being a tool and being a companion. But to be a full companion, they can’t be up against the boundary, they need to be well established and tried and tested as a companion to be used repeatedly, so we’re still a few decades out from that from what I can tell.
No man’s sky is not really the fitting example you think it anymore. Over time the devs put in some work.
Yeah I’m pretty sure the changes he praises have made me not play this game in about 3 years.
And running game studios as a business sound wrong to me. Yes, you need to make money, but it’s a creative branch and as soon as you make a pipeline for how you make your games, people will get bored of it, see Ubisoft.
Maybe they had big issues with monetization but what he’s talking about doesn’t sound healthy at all for the developers and artists working there.
Also I’m still a bit salty that I paid for destiny2 and then they made it free and introduced DLCs. Such a slap in the face.
I know this is a bit late, but copilot is only ok if used for code completion. I switched to the free tier of supermaven a month ago and it’s been way more helpful, as it can handle context better. Probably cuts coding in half and takes away a third of debugging.
Asking chatgpt for code has also become better, but imo still not reliable enough to regularly use. Just had some docker code written and it got it wrong 3 times so I gave up on that.
I get your point, AI can only save time if you know exactly what you’re doing and it will only be helpful sometimes. But when it is, it’s such a time saver.
everyone has at least 20 minutes […] every day.
No.
A lot of people do, but a lot of people don’t.
They may have months without any time surplus. And then maybe some months where they do have a significant time surplus.
But never assume everyone has the same time to dedicate to things.
My mom is currently working 50h weeks and I’m sure that’s on the lower end for some people. I’d prefer her to focus on not getting burnout so she is able to survive a bit longer, and that means she physically can’t.
Man if big studios are constantly layng ppl off, that means in a few years we will probably have an influx of even more small game studios and it’s gonna be way harder for big companies to acquire them.
Though I don’t like the layoffs, I like the world in which game developers are back to steering their own company again.
Took long enough but it finally seems like consumer protection groups are pushing against this internationally.
The cool thing is, if either EU or US make laws surrounding this, it will put an incentive in place for the other to follow up. And because the US and EU are so influential, a lot of other countries will follow up. Even better, because China is already putting pressure on everyone to put limits in place, considering this year they already put laws in place against that. One of those rare China Ws.
I’m rooting so hard for them.
No one uses Boolean values anyway and with the amount of resources available on modern systems we can just replace them with integers and we should be fine. This also makes it easier to teach people, as they would learn less different data types.
Yes I’m a software dev :)
At this point I think there is no software dev topic that is somehow not devisive.
No self awareness whatsoever
Hard to know how much he was listening. It’s def a mostly harmless prank so I’m also cool with it, but I wouldn’t say he’s been actively helping people.
Weirdest troll 2024.
The reason India stopped that is because they realized they were exporting way too many human skeletons and way too many child skeletons in that, so they eventually realized that this meant there were mass murders involved. India to this day has problems with that but it’s become better.
Here’s an interview of a guy who went underground to familiarize himself with the problem and even talked to a bunch of people involved. It’s a great video :)
Cheating on her boyfriend with you will end in cheating on you with a new guy.
He dd the right thing, no regrets. It sucks a lot tho, and it’s hard.
1000% agree.
As a software dev, I’m using windows and I know I shouldn’t switch.
Tbh it’s even worse, I can not switch. And that’s why it’s even more ridiculous. Linux power users like to say that you can do everything you can in windows but with more control. And with “control” they are right, but with “everything” more than wrong. Everything that’s not working out of the box is a gamble on time wasted getting said thing to work. For the simplest thing you can be stuck for weeks just by sheer bad luck.
Say you are a software dev? Yeah Linux is pretty solid.
3d artist? Meh. Blender is the last thing that works, otherwise you are stuck. Octane, 3ds max, Maya, c4d, Houdini, v-ray, real flow, … You gotta be lucky to find them to be compatible even if it’s only with a workaround.
Music production? Well you are stuck on LMMS, which is basically only used by very specific experimental artists. Also plugins, especially those with copyright protection will give you one hell of a hard time.
Images? Well gimp is not Photoshop if we’re honest, and stuff like coreldraw is also hard to replace on Linux.
Video cutting? You have to carefully tip toe about everything Adobe, and that’s an awful hassle. And because everyone would love to give Adobe the middle finger, we are slowly realizing how hard it is to replace Adobe and that if you go somewhere, it is not working as well by default, you have to really make it work.
And especially in big enterprises time is money. So every time someone thinks about where to migrate to, how to migrate, or when they are migrating, and than when they have to propose new workflows, new solutions, a bunch of workarounds, maintenance pipelines, etc. it’s just not worth it. Not on a big company scale, and unfortunately also not on a me scale.
At the end of the day, an OS is a tool to me, not a lifestyle choice, a hobby or a commitment. And it shouldn’t be. As long as Linux is at least 2 of those things for everyone that’s not using it, it’s not very compelling to switch. And that goes for every distro.
Btw. this is the reason why I can understand people using apple over windows. Yeah it’s 1000 bucks to take like 20min less to do a thing. But it stacks up exponentially with every device that integrates into Apple’s universe. And if you spend even 20min less per day, that’s already more than 2h per week that you now have to dedicate to other things.
I’m not rich and this doesn’t entice me, but I get it.
So yeah, make a distro that’s not only modular and expendable,but make it also very easy to understand and make it as easy. And make it either as compatible with Windows software or add those features in a different way. And then people like me can dream about a FOSS universe for everyone.
In a perfect world he doesn’t deserve it either. He deserves extensive jail time.
I made course for 11th and 12th graders together with a friend when I at university. It was only one week long and the topic was neural networks (we hit the timing right, it was 3 years before the AI hype started).
I did that experiment where you give the students 5 random places and amount of time out of a week. You say that is the movement profile of a fictional person and the students have to find out why those places matter.
Makes them learn the importance of information and how linking data can be an insane tool for understanding as something. But it also teaches how easy it is to gather information from small data points and self aware you should be about your digital footprint.
