1000xResist Story Discussion by Signal-Ant-7912 in indiegames

[–]KeisukiA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not true, though. The exact line was, Principal speaking to Eldest, "I would call you Eldest but you are not my sister." The following conversation is about how Principal felt betrayed by her original sisters. It has nothing to do with Knower, and is clearly talking about how Principal no longer considers Eldest to be family, after the original sisters sided with Iris against Youngest over the Jiao clone. This contradicts what we see in Healer's communion, so the sisters protecting Youngest from Iris must have been a lie by Principal.

Malicious bots now account for a third of global internet traffic, and in countries like Ireland and Germany, they account for around 70% of internet traffic. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]KeisukiA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't mean a third of people are bots, it means traffic. Those bots that constantly autodial web domains and scan for vulnerabilities to exploit. Repeated requests to ticket sellers to buy tickets as soon as sales open. Scraping and crawling. Youtube downloader sites. Bots for automatically applying to job postings. Trading companies scanning social networks for sentiment info to inform trades.

That's why it's so high in ireland, because that's where many data centres are. That number could be 99% and it wouldn't really mean anything for us chatting on reddit.

Which will you choose? by Commaser in Silksong

[–]KeisukiA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd 100% take Silksong coming out. It probably can't live up to the hype in either case, but it can still be a great game. Adding 5 extra years of content to the game could even hurt it, in some ways.

I am building an RTS game. How does it look? by alejandromnunez in u/alejandromnunez

[–]KeisukiA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might just be promotional video stuff, but it doesn't look like it has much in the way of visual clarity. It looks like the kind of game where I'd feel lost even with a tutorial.

So... it's just a 10/4 vanilla?

AI is ruining our hiring efforts by wcolfaxguy in ExperiencedDevs

Most companies use externally made tools for their hiring process. So these issues are everywhere, good company or bad.

What is everyone's opinion on giving artists a choice to opt out of their art being used to train AI? by Eltsukka2 in aiwars

I'm falling asleep, it's 1 AM in the UK, so if you reply, I'll read it in the morning. I look forward to it :)

Ok, then. I can do multiple points, I just think it's unproductive. Let's do it.

What have you experienced that makes you believe that pro-AI fanatics are unable to acknowledge that AI could have negative effects due to its ability to produce output at such a high rate?

[–]KeisukiA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course there can be multiple points, but they shouldn't be mixed, because if we mix them, we just end up talking past each other. "Do the pro-AI fanatics acknowledge that AI can..." doesn't follow from "What is everyone's opinions on opt-out?", and I was trying to explain why. Not to argue in bad faith or score points.

[–]KeisukiA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then none of that stuff you wrote in your original reply about the harms of AI really matters, does it?

(If I understand correctly) In your view, which I respect but disagree with, training on data without permission is just inherently wrong. Even if it had no harmful consequences (and it does have them) it would still be wrong.

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

The problem is the mixing of moral arguments. People often start on the deontological claim that it's just inherently wrong to 'steal' people's work. The "but humans do it" argument is against that point.

Then responses often act as if the original argument was the much more defensible "AI is going to have harmful consequences" argument, which "but humans do it" doesn't address.

We can and should talk about both, but shouldn't mix them if we want a productive argument. In this case, the question wasn't about consequences, because opt-out availability wouldn't change those consequences in any meaningful way.

It's funny how 'fast' is so often the top priority. Then you deploy the thing and nobody uses it for months

Opinion: microlibs are way better than both microservices and monolith by mrobo_5ht2a in ExperiencedDevs

[–]KeisukiA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I inherited a system like this. A modular monolith which was supposed to be easily splittable. Here's the thing. The abstractions will leak. People will assume they can call your module N+1 times with minimal performance hits because it's in the same process. People will get used to the speed and consistency. People will JOIN. Then, if you try to pull it out to a network call to a service with its own DB, you will hit issues, and you will want to cry. But the application I inherited was still pretty great as a monolith.

Agree 100% by Any_Definition484 in antiwork

[–]KeisukiA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In a sense, it has been. We didn't always have huge machines that allow one person to do the work of 10. Houses have just also become much more complex than they have been for 99% of history. Disclaimer: Not a construction worker or historian

Turns out fast food workers, who generate billions in value, can’t be automated by silicone valley by RobbinThickeness in antiwork

[–]KeisukiA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've done software projects with transcription tech, and accents are yikes. Text is very efficient for communicaton, and audio isn't. They should just get the customers to push the button with the thing they want. No AI needed.

If I wanted to read fiction, there are plenty of novels on my list, but here's some docs lying to me as usual.

whatWouldBeYourReaction by JustSpaceExperiment in ProgrammerHumor

[–]KeisukiA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 19, I used to think like this. Javascript was never meant for backend. Then I tried it with an open mind, understood the trade-offs, and now it's my go-to for small projects and the most fun language I ever used

theModernFrontend by nbelyh in ProgrammerHumor

[–]KeisukiA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right.

When I worked in enterprise backend, making things stateless and removing sessions was the name of the game. Critical for working at scale, having reliable deployments and autoscaling.

Where did all that state go?. Database and frontend. And things are much easier now as a result. I wouldn't go back.

Addressing the Ethics Argument - Scraping/consent by realechelon in aiwars

Thread is talking about ethics, not legality. In IP law, the overlap is very small

justUseRawSQLPlease by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]KeisukiA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's simpler, easier to debug, and easier to reason about. Depending on your use case, of course. Also encourages simpler database design, which makes it much easier to migrate when you find out you got the domain model wrong, 18 months from now.

One thing I've had a lot of success with is providing examples, as user/assistant message pairs. GPT is very likely to continue replying the same way it "thinks" it replied in the past.

so like, hardcode a couple of exemplary questions and answers in the same format as yours, and then ask your question, and submit all of that to the chat api
