Something creepy about this, though.

This tracks with my experience: I spent far more time double checking copilot output than trusting it. Also it almost always auto completed way too much way too often, but that could be UI/UX issue than a functional one.

However, by far the most egregious thing was that it made the most subtle but crucial errors I took hours to fix, which made me lose faith in it entirely.

For example, I had a cmake project & the AI auto completed “target_link_directories” instead of “target_link_libraries”. Looking at cmake all day & never using the *_directories keyword before I couldn’t figure out why I was getting config errors. Wasted orders of magnitude more time on finding something so trivial, compared to writing “boilerplate” code myself.

Looks like I am not alone:

Furthermore, the reliability of AI suggestions was inconsistent; developers accepted less than 44 percent of the code it generated, spending significant time reviewing and correcting these outputs.

When I did find it & fix it, something interesting happened: maybe because AI is sitting too damn low in the uncanny valley I got angry at it. If the same thing would have been done by any other dev, we’d have laughed about it. Perhaps because I’d trust a another dev (optimistically? Naïvely?) to improve & learn I’d be gentler on them. A tool built on stolen knowledge by a trillion dollar corp to create an uncaring stats machine, didn’t get much love from me.

Oh no! Not my sweets!

My dumb ass didn’t see the community & thought this was a sombrero spaceship 🤦

Serious question: was this ceremonial only, or supposed to be used in battle? Seems like unfit for actual battle?

No lie, this is how I learnt keyboard hotkeys as a kid. I’d click middle mouse to open a link on the site in a new tab, with my hand ready to go on Ctrl + W. The nanosecond I detected a fake site, I’d closer that sucker and move onto the next link.

Oh boy did I bring a lot of viruses on my computer in the process in the name of efficiency & greed (& hefty amount of stupidity).

Umm… Source please?!

Hmmm

Title is on point, OP 👏

Sure it doesn’t affect you, but your data is an important statistic to train zuck’s algorithm to keep the other rubes, and children, doom scrolling on that shit platform.

In fact, based on a whistleblower testimony zuck would probably sell your data to the CCP to gain access to their population.

I’m sure he’ll find unpaid volunteers to carry his ass, that he’ll sell out once they reach the bunker.

I think you meant “morale”, but moral is so much better.

Putting aside the dystopian angle for a minute, if you knew your data is valuable, would it change your behavior? e.g. if you behaved exactly the same as the median, would your data be valuable to advertisers? They gain no new info from you. Would you behave erratically just to make your data more valuable?

This kind of makes the theft of personal data even more insidious, IMO. Your data is only valuable if you forgot you’re being watched.

If the tutorial makes you buy things, it’s teaching you how to pay to win 🤷

So… cops?

Or as a Norm MacDonald’s joke:

"A new study shows that Cheese & snacks needs to be stored on the counter, not the cupboard.

More outstanding research from the University of Scooby-Doo"

*Trosh?

echo your $PATH & site-packages after activating venv. The activation logic does some juggling with the PATH so maybe pandoc slipped out?

I think Indians are willing to ignore an encroachment on some of their liberties, as long as there is actual improvement in their daily lives. Its the same as Chinese mainland citizens with the CCP. Living conditions for most Indians is improving rapidly compared to their parents for a majority of Indians. In their minds it’s ok to not have, say freedom of speech, if you can guarantee food on the table, which wasn’t so a decade back.

What most Indians don’t realize that this is a deal with the devil. Letting go of too many rights, or adding more gatekeepers to their freedoms, is going to come bite them in the back. The Indian government has historically had a heavy hand on their citizens for protectionism, something they learnt from their Soviet influence. What remains to be seen is will they ease up in the future, when Indians will eventually start to suffocate in these restrictions.

History can grimly predict this, but I have my fingers crossed.

Wow so its from the duh region in france, here I thought it was just sparkling dumbass
