I get what you’re going for but I have a hard time imagining this as a good thing so long as companies are profit driven.

Hahahahaha

I have a coworker who is essentially building a custom program in Sheets using AppScript, and has been using CGPT/Gemini the whole way.

While this person has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, there’s a lot of missing information that gets filled in by the bots. Ultimately after enough fiddling, it will spit out usable code that works how it’s supposed to, but honestly it ends up taking significantly longer to guide the bot into making just the right solution for a given problem. Not to mention the code is just a mess - even though it works there’s no real consistency since it’s built across prompts.

I’m confident that in this case and likely in plenty of other cases like it, the amount of time it takes to learn how to ask the bot the right questions in totality would be better spent just reading the documentation for whatever language is being used. At that point it might be worth it to spit out simple code that can be easily debugged.

Ultimately, it just feels like you’re offloading complexity from one layer to the next, and in so doing quickly acquiring tech debt.

I came to the conclusion that it was a delightful meringue

I think the difference is that when you pay discord, they stop advertising to you.

Haha, the whole image is what was generated, including the monitor and surroundings.

I used to enjoy it, but over time I ended up in a similar boat. Just a huge bust of anxiety, especially socially. But on the other hand, I feel pretty okay in the day to day. I’ve come to see it as a sort of forced introspection - not necessarily revealing anything I don’t already know about, but bringing it all to the surface and forcing the mind to see it. In that respect, it could still be drawing a line between feeling and how things are going.

Not that it makes it necessarily more universal, but I think there’s a grain of truth.

I’ll be honest, for a minute I thought it was not a flaw but referring to “Monday Me, on Monday” which is a concept I can relate to

I love this idea. Unfortunately, I think it’s just a slightly unnatural vocal performance. Even though AI can perfectly replicate voices tonally, they can’t truly generate the same cadence and inflections, or sometimes even get close without a good deal of human assistance. I suspect this will change over time. As with ChatGPT, we’ll be looking to AI to solve the problem of AI mimicking humans too well.

I don’t think it’s just a feeling of futility - it’s true phones can be distracting and offer more potential entertainment, and it’s true learning can sometimes be a slog. At the same time, learning can be fun and engaging, and phones can offer access to a wealth of information (of highly varying quality, admittedly).

Concentrating too hard on mere academic success as gauged by metrics like school grades is undoubtedly discouraging for a student who only goes to school if they are told they must.

No my eyesight is fine, what are you on about?

Really depends on her definition of being a witch. For the most part, hell yeah, I’m on board.

Not sure if it counts as a first day, but a third interview had me gone. I was quite late and they told me I was out of the running. Reasonable enough, but the company was in the middle of a move, so this interview was in a different location across town from the first two, and the only indication of where it was taking place was a tiny sign stuck in the ground. I must have circled the parking lot 10 times.

It was for the best because I later learned the work conditions there were rotten.

Someone should make a list of all the Lemmy apps which are objectively better than Sync and the reasons why. That’d show them.

Honestly, i think Memmy was a step too far. Why even develop more apps than Jerboa at most?

I’ve recently started using Edge as a YouTube TV browser. It’s a temporary arrangement, but it lets me cast from mobile across the room.

It’s both! Yaaay!

The problem is that multiple unrelated communities also saw a surge of old memes when the original community blew up

In the middle of a move, I hope to homelab a setup at my new location but currently a newb (essentially). Can’t use this yet but upvoting for coolness.
