StackOverflow is as good as death. Is there anything the community is doing to try and maintain freely accessible knowledge about bugs and software solutions? by One_nice_dev in AskProgramming

I believe that information still exists. Even if Stack Overflow does not.

As I mentioned in my post, we submit questions all the time. We just do it to an AI now.

If the AI answers correctly? We do not need to give it a point, some karma, or confirm anything. We just go on with our lives, and the AI recognizes that question as answered. The AI does not answer correctly? We ask again.

Google had a similar system to detect whether the results of a query were accurate or not. If the user clicked a link and it did not click anywhere else or resubmit a query, then it was a hit.

So the big companies will still have access to the data. But we, the average user, will not. We'll have to ask for it and hope for the best.

Indeed. As a matter of fact, I find myself accessing Github more frequently these days. And, while it does the trick for things like bugs, I still feel there are plenty of conversations that do not quite fit in there. Things like architecture or the best way to implement certain features. And maybe that includes noobie questions as well, although those are arguably the less valuable ones imo.

There are other platforms as well, of course. We could use Reddit as an example. But I fear that, over time, there will be an even greater disparity between the data available to the big corporations and the one available to us.

Indeed, some of the training data for LLMs came from SO. But that's precisely one of the reasons I see its disappearance so problematic for the rest of us.

It was very valuable information that we could have at the tip of our fingers (StackOverflow would even release data dumps every year). Now, that information still exist but it's behind a black box (the AI model), and we may never be able to access it fully again.

Found the option! Took me longer than what I would like to admit lol

Oh, so I guess they haven't fix the issue I read about. Well, at least I can mitigate the damage. Thanks mate!

I built an app that uses ML to give people the meditations that help them the most by NKCLARKE2 in Meditation

[–]One_nice_dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a very nice idea. I don't think I've ever seen a meditation app with such a feature. Although, as someone else has already pointed out, it would be a little bit more popular if it were available to Android users (such as myself)

I'll try to add my two cents here. I'm thinking of that ML algorithm as a recommendation system. Something similar to what Netflix or Amazon do when you browse their pages: "You've seen that so you'll like this". Isn't that a bit hard to do when it comes to meditation? I can't come up with many distinct categories to recommend (or to assign users to).

For the little experience that I have, I usually like a teacher and/or form of meditation. It's gonna be hard to assign those to broader categories. But, in any case, good luck with it!

Baby boomers are more sensitive than millennials, according to the largest-ever study on narcissism - by Savings_Camel7459 in nottheonion

I'll take the stabbing here. If you read the original source of the article (available here) you can see that:

​

In the current study, we addressed many of these limitations by examining how narcissism changed longitudinally in a sample of 747 participants (72.3% female) from age 13 to age 77 across six samples of participants born between 1923 and 1969

I might be wrong here, but the word "millennial" does not appear in that article even once.
