This is my friend Lucy who is currently missing in Wellington Pōneke. She is vulnerable, low on resources, and may be experiencing paranoia and disordered thinking so if you see her please be gentle and straightforward. Her mother is now nearby and can come to wherever.

@arti Honestly, now that I think about it, if I wanted to ping 834 people in Slovenia, I bet I could do that.
Anyway, the 834 Slovenians actually showed up and now we are looking for 1,650 Danes and/or 3,800 Austrians. eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/…

Removed because of childish temper tanties.
But do keep on downvoting. That'll tell 'em! 😂
Go fuck yourself. I was honest about the source.
Judging people for using the tools at their disposal to help make a point is just ableism.
Have to ask what you used it for for it to be “less than useless” as that seems mighty biased or hyperbolic.
I’m a software developer and work for a tiny company of 7 employees including the owner engineers.
We use LLMs everyday and the time it has saved us in real world numbers is massive to say the least.
It was enough that we all got pay rises and a reduction of hours from 37.5 to 33 per week.
It ain’t doing our jobs for us but to say it is useless is ridiculous and shows the clear bias of Lemmy on this subject matter. It’s a kin to saying a calculator is useless in making an accountable faster at their job.
I like this place but at this point it is nothing more than an echo chamber akin to the Donald where discussion is not encouraged for dissenting opinions and it’s just a circle jerk of everybody feeling superior without any intention of making the world a better place.
Vulnerabilities is going to be the same as before as it’s not like we just vibe code the whole thing. It’s akin to Intellisense on steroids.
As an example we have pretty well defined coding standards and so there is a lot of repetition in how we make calls from Typescript -> GraphQL -> C#. And the fact that CoPilot learns from our code base and then learns how we do thing.
Why do I want to write the same mutations or queries every time when it’s the same, when LLMs can do it and we can solve NEW problems not the same one over and over.
Technical debt is certainly down, because take me as recently promoted from Junior to Dev and my bosses hourly consulting rate would be £1000-2000 an hour then me asking less questions saves him a lot of time to actually do the higher level stuff.
I find it interesting how you would question that my boss, literally the smartest person I’ve ever met in my life wouldn’t have done risk assessments and made a value judgement. After all we get paid more now for less work.
We don’t just get things done and we go above and beyond for clients. If we quote £50k for an application and we expect it to take 6 months and the client is still refining 12 months later then we do what is right by the client and don’t charge more.
We have local councils, one of the largest phone providers in the Uk, and other massive clients that always come back for repeat business and recommending us to other people. We do not advertise and we are not short of work.
I have to wonder how many of these people saying LLMs are useless in this context actually earn money coding and how many just rant about it because it’s the trend here.
I never want to hear what ChatGPT says, because ChatGPT is a purpose-built bullshit machine. I would rather you leave a comment posting my debit card number than leave hot stinky garbage like this.
Maybe you could use your own bony tentacles to add something useful to the thread, instead of shitting on people who have the temerity to use a different approach to actually contribute some useful information.
Or, you know, keep on whining. Whatever.
I make it a rule to only start inexpensive hobbies.
Once they have progressed, and I'm getting good at it, they turn to expensive hobbies.
This triggers the end of the hobby cycle and a new hobby is targeted.
I just started magic the gathering as a hobby, lol
My wallet feels this.
spends
\sigh
Last week I forgot to pay for one of the items in my bag. Like genuinely forgot that I had it. Had to pay 165€ for shoplifting.
Also: meds cost the same amount as my phone bill. Adds up, too.
Yk, this is the ONE time living in the ass end of nowhere has been good for my wallet.
I've wanted to paint minis for a while now, and the one mini I got is a small blueberry I haven't even painted because I'd need to buy the tools and paints, which aren't sold here.
If I were stateside I'd be drowning in orc and salamander minis. Or more likely yet, primed but not painted, and tossed aside like half the hobbies I pick up until the moment I got the jist of what its about.
Or more likely yet, primed but not painted, and tossed aside like half the hobbies I pick up until the moment I got the jist of what its about.
I feel personally attacked
Everyone forgets shit. Get over yourself.
Placing all the things you personally forget in an ADHD box does not in any way absolve you.
Same way an autistic asshole is still just an asshole who happens to be autistic, one is not caused by the other.
Yeah everyone forgets things but how many people have ever had their car repossessed while also having enough money to pay off the whole loan because the crappy bank that gave the best interest rate doesn't have a convenient autopay system?
I don't think people are thinking of absolution when they recognize these kinds of things are part of their disorder. It's commiserating with your fellow sufferers on the absurd, counterintuitive, and inconsistent nature of the damn thing.
I want to laugh, but it’s too close to home.
I’ll add:
Missing appointments, rescheduling and then missing that one too.
Neurotypical people don't lose things as often. And when they do, they often remember where they misplaced it by retracing their steps.
Neurotypical people have their shit together so they find time and energy for cooking meals more often than people with ADHD.
I definitely find myself in all of these, except for the one in the middle of the last row.

You're falling victim to comparing the most our brains to the current most advanced technology. People used to say the brain is like a clock, with their tiny individual gears all working together to produce a result. Then computer came along with all their wiring and gasp long term and short term memory, just like a brain! Now we're at neural nets, surely that is what a brain is, it's right in the name! But no, a neural net is inspired by our brains neurons, it is wrong to think our brains are anything like a neural net.
Besides, even if we go with our brains being just like an NN, a brain only fed brain rot, will only likely produce brain rot.
just went through this looking up what a daruma doll is.
I read a couple sentences and then realized it was ai slop
straight from Wikipedia
That's always kind of bothered me about the whole generative AI thingamabob. Why are we generating things and storing them, when the ability to generate more of it is right there?
I mean, I know in lots of cases the output is extremely flaky, so it's not as easy to just generate the same thing again, but yeah, it still feels kind of backwards...
Some search queues return me pages of word-to-word copypastes of one 'original' AI gen article. On top of existing power-googling, you need not to include words that are particularly popular in slop. It brought a need to rewrite a queue a couple of times before it gets to the point.
They learnt on the worst examples of SEO, and then intertwined with it.
It depends, that's why I said it requires reruns with some slight modifications. When I was looking for a FOSS or at least Linux-friendly software for some live video visuals manipulation, VJ and everything with 'video' triggered a wave of slop, but 'projecting software' lead me to a rabit hole of actual list of choices, albeit most of them were paid, proprietary and Windows only.
It's counter to my previous expirience of including certain words to narrow the search: now I watch for what keywords bring most AI articles and drop\change them.

Searched for it in my library network, requested it!
When searching I was also directed to a book called Casanova in London, looks like a collection of short bios of interesting characters, requested it too.
" In this volume, he (Quennell) has given us a short trot with a cultured mind, a literary smorgasbord calculated to whet the reader's appetite for a number of authors who are undeservedly slumbering on the library shelves."
one of the most cunning
camouflage adaptations
among the bibliofauna,
as this young copy of
John Soane's accident-prone
and amorous biography
perfectly imitates
the coat pattern
of the predator
on the prowl,
confusing the beast
into mistaking her prey
for a perch.

The image is a three-panel meme featuring scenes from a television show. In the first panel, a young man with dark hair is sitting on a couch, wearing a dark shirt. The text overlay reads, "I made a new Industrial protocol." In the second panel, an older woman with blonde hair is sitting in a chair, wearing a patterned blouse. The text overlay reads, "Real or modbus?" In the third panel, the young man is again sitting on the couch, with the text overlay reading, "modbus." The background in all panels shows a room with wallpaper and framed pictures on the wall. The meme humorously contrasts the young man's claim of creating a new industrial protocol with the older woman's skeptical question about whether it is "Real" or "modbus," a well-known industrial communication protocol.

Windows, right.
I once found a review of pickup trucks that opened with the line "the real measure of a truck is the size of its back seat."
I rate pickup trucks by back seat luxury, and coffee by the size of the windows.
