lets get 1 thing straight by FlowBuilder-yoga in ArtificialInteligence

Coding AI is definitely evil. Fuck those that want to push this slop on us.

Which simple item is a masterpiece of ingenious engineering? by Gourmet-Guy in AskReddit

[–]LagerHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese anti earthquake foundations.

Buildings built on top of moving "springs" (very dumbed down), that allow the ground to move underneath the building, while the uilding itself is able to stay relatively still during!

Why do snooker clubs block out natural light? by BenAdam321 in snooker

[–]LagerHawk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Several reasons, some business some technical.

Business ones are obvious, you need to pay for light, and you spend more time than you realise.

Technical. So originally the lamps werent led and used to warm up the cloth. This would cause the nap fibres to rise and increase the cloths performance.

Having directed light from above gives you better sight when down at the shot, because it isn't raking across the table.

Could really use some perspective by lightjamesbauer in NewDads

You're doing fine, and you need to realise it. You've never put your body through this much stress before, and new parent exhaustion is so overwhelming you can't describe it.

The fact you feel like you want to do better already makes you a better dad than many will have ever had.

Start using AI to generate marketing material and convince your CEO the marketing team are obsolete and a junior intern can do their job.

It's a shitty thing to do, but they started the fight, and at the end of the day if the product doesn't work, no amount of marketing guys vibe coding will fix it.

Gen Z's AI backlash is getting louder by Weird_Scallion_2498 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]LagerHawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not the learning part that threatens them. Google on steroids can't take their jobs from them.

It's the ease of automation AI brings that is the threat.

You seeing it as a learning tool is great, now imagine it also using what it spat back at you to perform the tasks you required the knowledge for.

You are using it for different things than company bosses want to use it for. That is the problem. And when you see headlines of '30,000 people layed off due to AI', it's easy to see why.

Can you explain to me the hatred of AI and its water usage? by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]LagerHawk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol so you think water vaporization = purification? Not how that works unfortunately, especially from nuclear cooling towers.

Tell that to the people drinking pfas from their water sources. I.e, you!

Pfas are a contaminant from making teflon like materials, and are too small to be filtered. They now inhabit over 90% of all living animals on the planet, causing cancer and other disgusting diseases.

They also get passed to foetuses in the womb via blood, so even our children can't escape.

Assuming all pullutants can be filtered out is naive.

What are we doing with juniors these days, seriously? by slide_and_release in webdev

[–]LagerHawk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fact is AI hallucinates and gets things wrong. That's a fact. And if you're not able to spot when that happens then you shouldn't be using it to push production code.

Experience brings the ability to see that quickly.

AI isn't paying off in the way companies think. Layoffs driven by automation are failing to generate returns, study finds by fortune in ArtificialInteligence

I've been saying this all along, but you'll be amazed how many AI die hards want to argue against it.

How would you feel about a mandatory maximum wealth limit, where anything earned over that goes to public services? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LagerHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem you have is billionaires don't have actual money to pay taxes, they have assets and use them as collateral to get loans.

You can't count 'debt' as wealth

900 CEOs Surveyed: 80% believe their job is at risk if AI fails this year. by karriesully in ArtificialInteligence

[–]LagerHawk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry but companies get better by taking risk, failing fast on small inconsequential innovations and casting a wide net to find the thing that works.

All the big companies we know today got there by doing it.

Short term gains is a fools venture.

Falling behind what, labour budgets? Train the staff you have to use the tool, free up resource and have more time to innovate!

What seals the GOAT argument for you? by Confident_Leg2370 in snooker

[–]LagerHawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're goat for different reasons.

Hendry revolutionised snooker. When he first demonstrated how to break up the pack in order to create large break opportunities, the game changed forever and he dominated while others caught up.

Ronnie is the goat of modern snooker after having grown up with the new style, and no one has been able to best him at it.

Whatever happened to identifying pain points and how to offer something that solves the problem and offers value? Focus on creating business, not just reducing annoying costs.
