"A handful of cretinous shitsacks who fully legalized bribery in America because they hold to an ideology that insists rich, conservative people are inherently superior and should have carte blanche to rule unfettered by laws turned out to also take fuck-tons of bribes, dismissed every suggestion they account for that because those suggestions came from lowly pleb scum, and materially participated in an effort to end democracy in America" sure feels like a plot twist every last person with critical thinking skills should have seen coming.

@GrimmReality I see the second ammendment absolutists more like a means towards a goal. Keeping weapons available means nobody questions militarized police and their budgets.

But also, yes, violence they approve of

This from @caseynewton brings to the foreground something that’s been eating at me:

What exactly do Google and OpenAI and Microsoft and the rest of the AI bubble think is going to happen here when LLMs disincentivize the creation of the data that feeds them?!

@inthehands if we're to believe the hype I guess the idea is that magic AGI that no longer require training data is the goal before the collapse

    @dgodon @thomasfuchs tech workers have had years of extreme demand and high salaries which they could've used as a lever. Most did not use that leverage for solidarity, unionization or anything useful, only to get the chance to work on cool tech and make lots of money.

    Blaming individuals isn't great but as a profession software developers squandered this opportunity to effect change

    What if blueprints but for spreadsheets? Exists?

    Last time I needed a spreadsheet it was very hard to get any derived data, even a simple map/filter, outside of trivialities like “sum this column”

    @nikitonsky Excel has a good map/join/filter in their data importer. I believe it's called power query

    @vitaut @carlschwan biggest drawback with PHP imo, xdebug works well once it's configured correctly but it's a hazzle to set up and maybe impossible in a secured environment?

    A thing that’s holding .NET in a big way among non-corporate developers is that there’s no good self hosting story.

    It’s Azure or “you’re on your own pal!”, basically.

    Compare this with PHP/LAMP-stack that allowed for cheap, fun experiments with small side projects which resulted in a couple of pretty significant companies.

    @brtkdotse at least it's better now. In the olden days every dotnet hosting was expensive premium hosting because of windows and sql server licensing

    KathyReid, to stackoverflow
    @KathyReid@aus.social avatar

    Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.

    Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.

    https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/

    The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.

    In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.

    Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.

    Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.

    The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?

    While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.

    Biden finally admits that bombs supplied by the US have been used by Israel to kill civilians. Tanks have already been shelling civilians who are in tents with no way to defend themselves.

    “Biden says US will withhold weapons from Israel if it invades Rafah” https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-says-bombs-us-has-paused-sending-israel-have-killed-civilians-2024-05-08/ #Gaza #Rafah

    👀 String buffer type in C...?

    https://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3250.pdf (It's a long paper. You can skip the rationale bits if your brain has been turned on for the last 2 decades and you don't need your hand held through why this is a Good Idea In General, but reading it is still enlightening!)

    This paper is not how I would do it, but that's because I want 2 things:

    • some of what is contained in this paper, for exactly what is described in this paper
    • some of what is contained in this paper, but with no alloc/ownership (manipulation of substrings, etc.)

    Before I want to even tackle this question, though, I need to have a language-based span in C (Walter Bright's char meow[..]; stuff) so we can just work with memory slices like normal people and not like insane jerks. So I probably will be neutral/abstain when voting on this, even if I kind of like it. I think it's API would be far stronger if we had slices in the language first. Of course, I don't want to be all "you can't make improvements until I make MY improvements, first!!" on the proposal...!

    @thephd isn't slice/span a huge footgun without GC or some ownership semantics

    @thephd that's true, I didn't think it through before commenting.

    Was thinking about the rvalue issues in C++ but those aren't really a thing in C afaik so in this narrow area C would be less footgunny than C++ I guess?

    Gotta respect the doubling down! Replying to me posting some dude saying "Trump is worse!" then blocking me, with saying "Trump is worse!" then blocking me too! The commitment to the bit is impressive!

    Listen, you can get as mad as you want. You can call Black folk criticizing Biden "Bitching" if you want. We're still going to do it.

    The CDC under Biden dropped the Covid isolation period from "5 days" to "vibes days." Not Trump.

    @andytiedye @cam @mekkaokereke I believe there are a couple of stories of reformed trump voters so yes, statistically insignificant numbers 😀

    I hate how it's all about the mythical swing voter and never about the disenfranchised, apathy etc. Democrats basically run so they can blame POC for when the lose instead of actually trying to win

    This is one of the reasons why I’ve been steadily moving away from TypeScript. Something like this—where an ergonomic feature fails because TypeScript has wrong types—happens ALL THE TIME. The more you work with the DOM the more often it happens. This is obviously frustrating and adds friction

    But it also calls its very purpose into question. If TS is getting so many things wrong why should I trust its assurances about correctness or the presence or absence of defects?
