The US was Europe’s biggest ally.

If you don’t understand what has changed, you’re mentally deficient (or a conservative, which is the same thing)

Weeeellll I mean, they do make up shit all the time, but that’s just great power politics for you. What’s left for us little people is to decide which overlord is the least bad

EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION

I mean, he did specifically come up with his idiotic “Hyperloop” concept to kill California’s high speed rail project

I think that’s called “murder”

How is this a revelation to fucking anyone? Will we be seeing eXpLoSiVe allegations of OpenAI and Anthropic working with the US military, or is that fine?

I’m European so I certainly don’t trust the US any more than China. Probably even less.

But oh boy is it a flashy good-looking structured cool code! It doesn’t work, but it’s cool!

Purely out of curiosity, I used the Cursor IDE for a personal project involving a lot of math-y stuff, and this really wasn’t my experience.

Not only was most of what it produced wrong (ran just fine, but mostly produced complete garbage), the code quality was absolute shit. Overly long functions, often with parts that repeated, kept shoving more and more parameters into those overly long functions, no sense of using abstractions to cut down on code length etc. etc.

Might have partially been a question of language choice; I was using Julia, and there’s definitely not going to be as much training data for it compared to something like Python (🤮), and a lot of the code that is out there has been written by people who aren’t coders but scientists

Fuck me am I glad I’m out of the corporate world

I wish users would report their problem istead of what they think is the solution.

And when they do report the problem, they should report the actual problem they had and not what they think the problem is.

So instead of eg. “my computer’s been hacked!”, it’s actually “I saw a scary error dialog I didn’t understand”

I know so many ops people who are practically functional alcoholics and I’m not surprised at all

I hope you wear the velcro shoes for your own sake

I wonder what the daily recommended allowance of irony is

I mean I’m like 99.9999% sure the post itself is satire, but what worries me is that I’m not sure if the concept of “higher order vibes” is itself satire or not

Imagine my utter shock.

I’ll be surprised once the Russians actually manage to do something right

Edit:

Unlike in the West, the use of AI in Russian online encyclopedias hasn’t sparked much debate among editors — at least not publicly.

Gee wonder why that is

Hanlon’s Razor is all well and good as a heuristic, but tends to lead to people discounting malice much too often. Also, I really didn’t say we were “under attack”

I absolutely don’t know, but my guess would be spambots or somesuch

You should stop using the PowerCore 10000 ‘immediately’

Engadget “journalists” don’t know how to use quotes

Edit: it’s probably I who doesn’t know how to use quotes

(is great (oh (really (like-p lisp you))))

Doing stupid things because stupid people do stupid things too 👌

Comparing apples to oranges doesn’t make any more sense just because someone else does something even dumber.
