To me, this is more annoying. But I might have been too young and naïve back then.

If you’re seeing it, you’re delusional.

That’s a lot of bullshit.

With AI, now it does the thinking for you […]

No, it doesn’t. It’s just mimikry. Autocomplete on steroids.

It wasn’t really meant as a compliment. She usually looked like she was coming straight from the set of a porn movie. But I think, like me, she wasn’t giving a fuck either. She was good at what she did and the right hand of the head of the engineering faculty. Don’t judge a book by its cover, I guess?

Or just don’t give a fuck.

Story time: I had to give a presentation on a group project at university. I was wearing a shirt with a fist silhouette on it, which you could have mistaken as a symbol of a political movement, had there not been the text “nothing says I love you quite like fisting”. Over lunch I had to go home, ~6km, on a bicycle, in the summer, on short notice, because of the plumber being in the house. So I was sweating like fuck and changed shirts. For some reason our team got summoned up to the front again later and my shirt read “I have 5 stars on youporn” with five stars over it. This was in front of 5 professors, ~10 post docs and university employees and ~80 students. On my way out from the cafeteria I greeted the hot blonde from engineering, who looked like she could be an adult content actress, and she laughed the cutest snort-laugh in a shockingly deep voice I’ve ever heard. Most of the profs “loved” me by the way; three of them competed over getting me into their projects and supervising my master thesis.

Or you can write an entire theme park simulator in assembly because you like pain or something.

Say what you will, but that was an economically viable route to take. I’m still in love with TTD and RCT2.

Hello :)

Race theory 2.0 AI edition just dropped.

Rookie numbers.

lol

Is that all the crab memes you got?

I was half expecting a proper crab meme dump, like in the good ol’ days.

Pathetic.

Does the US still have a working reporting system?

Though, obviously I had to come up with some ridiculous solutions:

bool IsEven(int i) => ((Func<string, bool>)(s => s[^1] == 48))($"{i:B}");

This one works without conditionals :)

bool IsEven(int i)
{
    try
    {
        int _ = (i & 1) / (i & 1);
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

Not to take from all the funny answers … but

bool IsEven(int i) => (i & 1) != 1;

(C#)

At this point I assume ignorance and incompetence of everybody talking about benefits of “AI” for software development.

I’ll quote myself from some time ago:

The entire article is based on the flawed premise, that “AI” would improve the performance of developers. From my daily observation the only people increasing their throughput with “AI” are inexperienced and/or bad developers. So, create terrible code faster with “AI”. Suggestions by copilot are >95% garbage (even for trivial stuff) just slowing me down in writing proper code (obviously I disabled it precisely for that reason). And I spend more time on PRs to filter out the “AI” garbage inserted by juniors and idiots. “AI” is killing the productivity of the best developers even if they don’t use it themselves, decreases code quality leading to more bugs (more time wasted) and reducing maintainability (more time wasted). At this point I assume ignorance and incompetence of everybody talking about benefits of “AI” for software development. Oh, you have 15 years of experience in the field and “AI” has improved your workflow? You sucked at what you’ve been doing for 15 years and “AI” increases the damage you are doing which later has to be fixed by people who are more competent.

Same as antibiotics.

If we can’t build an equitable, sustainable society on our own, it’s pointless to hope that a machine that can’t think straight will do it for us.
