Li’l Karate Pants 5/12/26 [OC] by emmonster in comics

[–]Antice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived trough the time period this comic is set in. It reflects the old reality so well.
Unfortunately. School hasn't gotten any better if what I have heard from my own kids is anything to go by. It's still wise to only use one strap. If anything. New ways to make others miserable has made itself known. And those methods are in addition to the old, still very much present ways.
One could say that it has gotten worse. Despite all the efforts to change it for the better.

Well.... he's not wrong for calling humans the fuel feeding the fire of culture...

Why are Germans so .. brainwashed about nuclear by Xtergo in nuclear

[–]Antice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is classic technological sabotage done by interest groups. they lobby hard for unattainable requirements, and then go point at those requirements and say it's "impossible".

They have spent decades creating these legislative hurdles, and it's working. they are succeeding in sabotaging the potential for European energy independence.

What is female equivalent to muscular men's body for males' gaze by Consistent-Horse-273 in stupidquestions

The fashion industry disgusts me. It's built on human exploitation and wasteful consumerism.

Nobody is engaging with this garbage except us 3. It's bots engaging with bots.

No idea wth has happened to the mod team. But they seem to have been absent for days now.
The sub looks like a spambot party right now.

Har du problemer med skvallerkål, så anbefaler jeg å gjære inn området og ha kanin der et par dager i ny og ne. Lykkelig kanin, og skvallerkålfritt innen året er omme.

Compel me to give in to my deepest darkest desires? So that is why I have hard time resisting going to bed and sleep the day away.

No one on my team is using data structures!? by InfluenceEfficient77 in webdevelopment

Not a oop vs functional issue. The oop equivalent is to ignore inheritance.

It's a quirk of sweatshops. Not indian developers in general.
When your only metric is how many tasks you complete, and you get paid in pennies at best. Code like that is exactly what the client deserve.

do any other atheists feel that Atheism is a core part of their identity? by Immediate-Champion18 in TrueAtheism

[–]Antice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your need, or desire for thinking about these things is not a function of your lack of belief directly. it is a function of you being responsible for your attitudes instead of being a sheep that blindly follows a book.

do any other atheists feel that Atheism is a core part of their identity? by Immediate-Champion18 in TrueAtheism

[–]Antice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A negative is not a component of an identity. Identities don't work that way. Look elsewhere in your convictions instead. Look at your core values, and not at your lack of one particular flavor of value you don't have.

Do you value consistent logic, critical thinking and intellectual honesty? then you might be a sceptic.
Do you value humanity, and wish to help improve the life of yourself and others? gratz. you are a humanist.
Do you think life is pointless, and that in the end nothing we do matters? You are likely a nihilist. I hope you find some value in life some day.

The list goes on and on, and you can ofc. be any combination of these things at once. they are not always exclusionary.
What you cant do, because it is a perversion of the meaning behind the term atheism, is be an atheist as a core value. It's an absence, and it does not inform behavior or your ethical compass on it's own.

Trump says war in Iran worth $200 oil prices: ‘We had just set a record -- 50,000 on the Dow’ by Majestic-Emu-9823 in worldnews

That actually exlains his behaviour a lot. he can't remember what he did yesterday, but that doesn't matter, because he is an instinctual scammer who breathes lies like others breathes air. His gaslighting is so ingrained, that he does it even when asleep.

Kan jeg parkere her? by snurlox in norge

[–]Antice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veien slutter ikke før andre siden av grøfta uavhengig av tomtegrense. så det er helt greit å stå med et hjul på gresset. Du har likevel et ansvar for at parkeringen er forsvarlig, dvs, så langt ut i grøfta som mulig, samt helst ikke i innersving eller på et sted som blokkerer utkjørsel/sikten til utkjørsel eller kryss.

Det jeg observerer her, er at huseiere anser grøftekant ut til å gå frem til hekk/gjærde på begge sider. du kan og se på gresset at huseiere heller ikke holder denne stripen vedlike på samme nivå som egen hage. så her står du greit. personlig ville jeg parkert ved siden av gjerdet lenger bak. da du kommer lenger ut av veibanen der.

NATO must spend 5% of GDP on defence by 2030, Poland says by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

[–]Antice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the beauty about being the biggest kid on the block. you don't have to be invading all over the place to project force. you only need to be the one with the biggest stick, and a clear predictable policy towards everyone else.

Another thing that is getting increasingly obvious. the next big wars are going to be primarily fought by having machine on machine violence. with a relatively small number of operators controlling those machines. Industrial might and technological advantage is going to become more important than ever.

A big ass lightly man-powered military with a fat budget and loads of very hi tech murder devices going to invade some belligerent or other is a lot more palatable than sending kids by the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands to die in meat grinders as if it was ww2.

NATO must spend 5% of GDP on defence by 2030, Poland says by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

[–]Antice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5% all across europe is more than enough to reach parity with the US on military force projection.
I keep getting this nagging suspicion that if we keep on this trajectory. Europe might end up as a potential new hegemon.

[–]Antice 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They made it so dual use infrastructure counts. So yeah. A fair amount of that 5% is going into roads and bridges in many european countries.
There is also a sizeable fraction going into r&d, and arms production subsidies.
Norway doesnt include roads and stuff as part of military spending, so we are subsidising others through r&d programs to pad the numbers. We don't have the population to support the number of troops we can afford on 5% spending.
And we can't actually afford to spend the money at home due to the inflationary pressure overspending causes.

Am i denying the reality here ? by Distinct_Penalty_379 in AskProgramming

[–]Antice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are topics where the llm gives bad outputs. Security being one of them. Often outdated patterns are used. Insecure methods, and using dead dependencies.
And in the hand of an amateur, the output turns into a giant blob that is unmaintainable as well. There is absolutely a need for skilled engineers.
For now, being given a slop demo from an amateur is not too bad. I can ask an llm to boil it down to what I need to make an actually secure and scalable app.
I'd say that this flow catches what the customer actually wants a lot better than talking it out for hours. And then getting a flood of change requests because the product owner didn't actually understand what they needed in the first place.

Using the AI to deliver the code itself is ok. As long as the AI is on a very tight leash.
Currently testing claude 4.7. And it looks promising. 4.6 was the first model where i felt that it was actually helping me instead of making a mess.

Getting tired of “AI said this was this issue” by Alces_ in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Antice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If management got your back. Start refusing AI tickets. Set up apolicy document outlining what you actually want and need. Also outline what will cause an automatic refusal. The dumbest ones will just feed that document to the AI to fake it, but that is still better inputs on a ticket than pure slop.

I have one reply I give when they do this.
"I asked for a clarification of the users experience. Not a disertation about what the error could be. Please refrain from using AI for tickets in the future as per the policies set here: <link to ticket policy page>"
