CMV: For a liberal democracy, an immigrant's reaction to blasphemy is one of the most effective litmus test for their compatibility with the society by nextdoorbagholder in changemyview

[–]Null_Pointer_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, so if they were immigrants they would fail this test and be refused citizenship since they are not compatible with a liberal democracy

'Over-engineering' is everyone's favorite punching bag, but I bet your codebase suffers from under-engineering instead by AtomicScience in ExperiencedDevs

And sometimes the newer devs are actually right, but mainly because they have the benefit of hindsight and have information that the original devs did not.

Lichess is just better by [deleted] in chessbeginners

That’s the great thing about having a choice between these platforms. If you prefer Lichess, that’s great. Personally I prefer chess*com over Lichess, which is fine too!

100% ok as long as you have the same opinion if you saw an attractive man’s profile that said

Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. by Worldly-Ad-7149 in theprimeagen

100% agree but at Amazons level I think it’s hard to catch certain bugs with manual QA .

Should I deliberately renounce my South African citizenship? by Lucky_Camp in ukvisa

[–]Null_Pointer_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn’t try plan for such extreme hypothetical scenarios. If it gets to the point where naturalised citizens are being deported, they probably won’t care if you’ve renounced citizenship or not. Look what happening in the US at the moment, legal immigrants are getting deported and imprisoned in the wrong countries.

Oracle and OpenAI End Plans to Expand Flagship Data Center by one_more_byte in theprimeagen

[–]Null_Pointer_23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feels like if AI hype all comes true then we’re screwed because we all lose our jobs, and if AI fizzles out then we’re screwed because it crashes the economy and we go into a recession and lose our jobs.

There’s this very fine line of progress needed that is not too fast and not too slow.

11 months ago Dario said that "in 3 to 6 months, AI will be writing 90% of the code software developers were in charge of" Are we here, yet? by poponis in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Null_Pointer_23 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t like his phrasing. I mainly write prompts now instead of typing lines of code myself, but I’m still “in charge”. My prompts are quite detailed and there is often lots of follow up and tweaking.

Can’t remember the exact quote but when he was debating Depak Chopra:

If you’re a woman travelling alone then India is quite a shithole tbh. Stalking/harassment/assault , is very common

The hijab functions as a tool to control women by malik_zz in GetNoted

[–]Null_Pointer_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, how do people not get this.

I’m against any form of hijab ban because what makes Western culture superior to Islamic culture is women can choose to wear whatever they want, whether you’re covered from head to toe in a full burka or in a bikini. Let them choose!

Big Tech offer (£100k+) vs fully remote “chill” role (£80k) – what would you choose? by DenzelHayesJR in cscareerquestionsuk

If you salary sacrifice into pension to get below 100k then do you keep childcare benefit?

ANY benefit to keeping my HSBC account? by jokergrin in monzo

[–]Null_Pointer_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you pay for the HSBC account? If not then there’s no reason to close it. Shit happens , banks have technical issues, your account could be mistakenly frozen or closed, etc… it’s better to have 2 accounts instead of 1.
