Legalized bribes? HUH?!?

I once forgot to put curly braces around the thing I was adding into a hashmap. If I remember correctly it was like ~300 lines of error code, non of which said “Wrong shit inside the function call ma dude”.

Even if it runs locally (which I doubt, altho they are asking to be verified by third parties for security, so we’ll see, sounds promising so far), it’s still a tool that has the authority to do literally anything from a prompt. Once the device is unlocked, it’s literally unlocked, as in every piece of information about the owner is now at your finger tips.

So when Microsoft says it’ll constantly screen shot your windows machine and then use AI on those screen shots, we all lose our collective minds, but when Apple unveils their system that’s fucking OS wide apparently, where the AI can literally see and interact with EVERYTHING, suddenly it’s worth celebrating?

Like don’t get me wrong, both are horrible, but what’s up with the double standard? It’s like apple can do no wrong, despite the fact that they’ve been doing nothing but wrong for almost a decade now.

The amount of corporate speak makes me sick. Especially the mix of buzzwords being mixed with shit like “KERNEL PROCESS”, shit’s cursed.

That’s one thing that always shocks me. You can have two people writing C++ and have them both not understand what the other is writing. C++ has soo many random and contradictory design patterns, that two people can literally use it as if it were 2 separate languages.

Sounds like the kind of work my analyst does. I guess he’s technically part of the development team, so sure??? Our 3 client mediators are totally taking over. Also pretty sure we’re the only IT department that even has such a thing. The only other person in our IT branch to be mainly doing calls and such is the top head of IT, every other IT boss still has a lot of technical work around their necks. So at least at my job “close to 100%” is an absolute farcry.

It’s a very similar story at my girlfriend’s work place. Except they don’t even have analysts.

I’d imagine a bar that would come up with a rule like that would already have a predominantly straight male demographic. That’s a lot of free beer…

You have to get in early, before they get all the practice from all the previous visitors.

Honestly, I have trouble imagining such a world. Hmmm… The more I think about it, the more it just kinda sounds like high school… Sends shivers down my spine.

As a developer I have to say OH hell nah. If I had to compare the issue to something more layman, I’d compare it to tesla’s self driving. If I have to watch it the entire time it does its thing because there’s an almost certain chance it’ll mess something up CATASTROPHICALLY due to the fact that it literally lacks the ability to understand, than I might as well just do it my self. It rarely saves time and only in dumb cases, that should have been automated in other ways a long time ago.

Not saying it’s not a very handy tool occasionally, just that it can’t come up with solutions to problems on its own, which is like 75% of my work. And it can’t do this due to a fundamental limitation in how learning models work, no amount of training will fix this.

If jobs consisted of only attending video calls and wiring emails, the world would be a very different place.

I largely mean flashing in general, it’s all just distracting to me. Also most people I know personally actually like the rainbow madness. Even if they try to match their keyboard and mouse, they’ll still often have a unicorn box. They also love putting their rainbow tower on top of the table, I really don’t get it. A friend’s uncle even has a case the height of a table, like bro… Is there no end to this?

Flashing RGB light are legit the most annoying shit ever. I just have a black box for a case and my peripherals glow a dim solid color (so I can see them in the dark) if at all.
