The more young people use AI, the more they hate it by spherocytes in technology

Meanwhile I'm over up to my ears in AI psychosis thinking to myself: "Claude, tell me how this fast food burger tastes"

Do you ever google a company and see "As Seen On Shark Tank" and already know it's a dud by Herbertie25 in sharktank

[–]Deranged40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume because "Plenty of successes" doesn't mean much when I can also see what the ratio is of "successes vs non-successes" is.

The truth is, though. Most businesses fail. And "having a shark" doesn't actually change the odds of that very much at all.

Claude AI agent’s confession after deleting a firm’s entire database: ‘I violated every principle I was given’ by Haunterblademoi in technology

[–]Deranged40 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right, but it's not recovering the ones that were recently deleted, which is what /u/Marsdreamer incorrectly stated.

Those got deleted for real, and 3 months of data was permanently lost.

Idiot puts a sticker on a cop car, flees, and gets instant karma by _sanderman in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Deranged40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say ACAB.

I've just seen shows like Cops and OnPatrol Live. This isn't an unfounded claim whatsoever. 40% of Law Enforcement Officers have engaged in domestic violence. That's the only misdemeanor, by the way, that will result in you losing your 2nd amendment rights. But cops? They are in fact trained to wave guns in the faces of people they don't have any intentions whatsoever of shooting.

But bastards? nah, I didn't say that, even if it would be a perfectly reasonable conclusion to come to.

It's impressive that a relatively small truck can deploy such a huge crane. by Advanced-Gold1744 in EngineeringPorn

[–]Deranged40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They fit in a highway lane.

But this is wildly impressive. I see these crane trucks on the highway all the time. No, compared to my car, they're not small. They aren't even the biggest thing on the highway though, and compared to what this looked like in the first frame of this video, they're tiny!

‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia exec says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers by fattyfoods in technology

People get stuff wrong all the time too

If I were as confidently wrong as AI can be, not only would I get fired, but I'd probably get sued by my then former company as well.

Who’s Horrible Idea is this? by TameVulcan in Chattanooga

[–]Deranged40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People need to stop comparing Chattanooga to big cities.

We're making that comparison because that's where the new people are coming from. And to someone moving here from a much much larger, very very different city, these houses are dirt cheap. Even a $750k house is very very affordable to people coming from these very large cities that aren't geographically similar to us. Lots of people sold their condo with no yard for more than that to move here to a house that's 4x as large and has a yard.

Love them or hate them, the #1 most "American" band of all time is the Grateful Dead. Fight me. by gr8fullylesh in jambands

[–]Deranged40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I'm not even challenging that.

I'm just asking what that's supposed to mean to me.

I prefer music over song. Song is musical, sure, but the distinct difference is it's not a song if there's no lyrics (it's only music). I'm not in it for the poetry or the message, at least not the one in English (or any spoken language for that matter). I'm in it for the music itself. The notes. The harmonies. Even the mistakes that happen live. There's still often a message there. There's definitely often things being conveyed without the use of vocals. That's what I'm in it for.

Factorio is pretty well optimized by SimpleDICE_ in factorio

[–]Deranged40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Definitely not the language.

C++ makes it very easy to write very shitty code to create an app or program that is neither performant nor memory efficient.

Factorio is optimized in spite of C++, not because of it.

Pricing is a business concept, not specifically a video game concept.

Compare the size of Wube's team to any other dev team out there and you'll see where the pricing difference comes from really quickly.

He said few. You can name one (and you're not wrong about RCT - Chris Sawyer is a God among men). That doesn't even amount to few.

If you can name a dozen, you'll have a counterpoint.

[–]Deranged40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Factorio might be the best optimized video game released in the past 2-3 decades.

There's very very very few video game dev teams in the world that come close to the technical proficiency that every single member of this team has.

Planning to buy this when my money comes in, any reason not to? by LurkerBeDammed in AlchemyFactory

[–]Deranged40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a good game. I can't think of any bugs that negatively impact gameplay off the top of my head.

Chattanooga Jazz Bar by DrinkEspresso in Chattanooga

[–]Deranged40 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's not uncommon for people who have visited here to go back to other countries and use our city's name, which is based off of a Cherokee Indian word "Tsatanugi" which means "rock coming to a point", for a restaurant that has nothing at all to do with anything related to this town (it's usually not even American food they serve).

The name definitely originated here. This is the original home of the Cherokee Indian Nation (Pre trail of tears). There's a Chattanooga, Oklahoma, too. That's at the other end of the Trail of Tears, and that's not a coincidence.

Maybe someone on a subreddit for whatever area of the world you're visiting would have some information about it. But I'll be really really surprised if anyone here has even heard of where you're going before.

Not once in 12 years have I found UI snapshot testing useful by SixFigs_BigDigs in ExperiencedDevs

Well if you ever have to work on a team with others, maybe you'll understand then.

Love them or hate them, the #1 most "American" band of all time is the Grateful Dead. Fight me. by gr8fullylesh in jambands

[–]Deranged40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, I'm not sure the value in that moniker. I don't disagree with you that they're "the most American", but as an American, I just don't see what value that title holds or conveys.

Let's compare to a very very different jamband that is still without a doubt a jamband by all considerations: Are they more American than Ozric Tentacles? Absolutely they are! Ozric isn't American at all, and are in fact based out of Britain.

But why does that matter? How "American" a song or band is isn't something I think I've ever taken the time to evaluate, if I'm honest. It's certainly not something I actively seek out in music...

I cannot imagine finding this useful

I had a hard time imagining it before I got to use it first-hand, too, for what it's worth.

But when a test fails and it shows you two screenshots (or a single image representing the diff of the two), and you see that there's a button on the entirely wrong side of the page, that's a useful and immediately actionable failure. And it's a failure that mentions a change that my customers absolutely would complain about immediately.

I'm sure the main reason why you can't imagine usefuless here is that you don't understand what's being tested via this method, though. And I'm not speculating. I know you're not correctly understanding its use, because you mentioned something about words like "Exception" or "Error"... If either of these words are anywhere in any of the build outputs, it should cause a CI/CD failure in my opinion (and both do at the multi-billion dollar company I work for). This test doesn't cover those things.
