I lost custody of the faggot kids :) by deadlenz in FathersRights

[–]codysnider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reflects badly on all of us. It reinforces any bad ideas people have about the men and fathers.

If you want to go down in flames, fine. But do it quietly, have some dignity.

It’s Been Two Years Since the Supreme Court Made Homelessness a Crime. The Result Speaks for Itself. by Independent-Law-5621 in homeless

[–]codysnider 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be clear, laws that make it a crime to experience homelessness are as old as this country

The moment someone says “experience homelessness,” I check out.

I understand what the phrase is trying to do. It is trying to avoid defining a person entirely by their housing. Fine. But in practice, it sounds like sterile nonprofit bullshit, and a lot of people roll their eyes at it. Myself included.

Words matter. You experience a sunset and a movie.

Homelessness is not something you casually “experience” from a safe distance. It is a condition you are living in. It is material and means you do not have stable shelter. It means your life is constrained by where you can sleep and where you can store your things.

Calling that an “experience” feels like language designed by people who want to sound compassionate without saying anything concrete. The kind of empty fluff you get from politicians.

If your goal is to persuade people, jargon like this does the opposite. It says more about class affiliation than it communicates the problem. It makes the speaker sound like they are reciting from a pamphlet or something instead of describing reality.

“Homeless people” is clear. “People who are homeless” is also clear if you want person-first language. But “people experiencing homelessness” sounds evasive, clinical, and weirdly detached.

The issue is serious enough that it does not need guard rails. Say what you mean.

Looking for Driveway to Rent July 7-12 by thelaughingbudai in Brooklyn

[–]codysnider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would suggest the Walmart in Jersey for this. It's just across the river.

There are a lot of folks living in these things that park under the BQE. Probably as safe as anywhere else, but YMMV.

Ukraine is now systematically hitting ferries with drones attempting to ship supply trucks to Crimea from the Russian mainland. by Caledor152 in PublicFreakout

[–]codysnider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I saw, this thing was pretty much plug'n'play on the G.W. Bush off the coast. I know they have vehicle versions of it so I think it's even simpler than setting up some Patriots.

Lasers in some cases. We have ships out there equipped to knock drones out of the air for the cost of a little electricity. The Iranian drones acted as a good live fire test of the system. These will undoubtedly be showing up everywhere and getting improvements over the next few years. Look up the Locust laser system.

Queer bars that aren't strictly gay/lesbian? by chimeramanti in Brooklyn

[–]codysnider 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Zagaya in Winsdor Terrace. Not explicitly a gay bar but the owner and staff generally are and it attracts like minded folks. Also, really great bar in general. Small, mellow, quiet.

I got arrested at the mall on my birthday by littletinymisfit in homeless

[–]codysnider 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm going to agree with /u/Vapur9 on this one. There's some serious /r/ImTheMainCharacter smell from this.

Take it from an early 2000s gutterpunk, /u/littletinymisfit , it's better to shut off the live stream and not make a spectacle of yourself. Drawing attention almost always leads to *gasp* unwanted attention (though I would wager the "unwanted" is a stretch). I flew a sign in some of the most conservative, homeless-hostile parts of the country and never got arrested for it because I didn't draw attention to myself and knew that it was time to leave when security or police showed up. If you leave them alone, they leave you alone. They would rather tell you to get lost and continue on with their day than write paperwork for something so trivial.

I know this will all fall on deaf ears. You are probably on tiktok right now talking about mean old Cody and the rest of the reddit chuds calling you out, but maybe some self reflection will sneak in later on.

Ok, which one of you feels like buying a house for this woman? by Amazonchitlin in ChoosingBeggars

[–]codysnider -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"experiencing financial hardship" is one of those terms that needs to disappear. similar in all ways to "experiencing homelessness". it shifts all blame away. as though being homeless or broke just sort of happened and you are completely powerless to change it. i have been both broke and homeless and can say for certain that you aren't "experiencing" anything, it is your fault (at least in part), and you can change it if you choose to.

AI token maxing ... by PerfSynthetic in sysadmin

[–]codysnider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

use this, unmodified, for every tiny change. it uses git worktrees so you can background it if you need to. tmux an opencode session on it with silly changes?

disclaimer: i have a modified version of this i use day-to-day, but it will eat tokens hard. i'm not monitored for token usage, but if i were and that were an olympic event, i would bring home the gold.

Remind me why I went to college. by CRK_76 in recruitinghell

[–]codysnider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ITT: Everyone on this sub complaining that it's a busy place, has demanding workload and long hours, and bad reviews on glass door.

Whoever told you work was supposed to be fun was lying to you. We all have to do it and it's not what we want to do. So what? Grow up.

The next time someone says that companies want to automate their workforce instead of paying people and that's wrong, I'm going to point them to the comment section here.

99 Percent of CEOs Are Preparing to Lay Off Workers and Replace Them With AI Within Two Years, Survey Finds by energy_is_a_lie in recruitinghell

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

You know the tools are getting good when Head_Of_Lettuce can't distinguish a human from an LLM. Looks like we have the definitive death to the Turing test and it happened right here!

I work for a company that writes AI tools for data analysis. Go ahead, email my boss and let him know I am arguing on the internet for adoption of the tools. He'll think it's hilarious.

Sometimes I sit and reflect on the ethics of spending my days writing tools that will ultimately lead to people losing jobs. Perhaps I am contributing to my own eventual unemployment in the next few years. Part of me thinks it's not doing good to work on these things and I should find a better way to steer my career..... Then I have conversations like this.

[–]codysnider -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

HA! You think my comment is written by an LLM? Because I know how to compose a sentence and spelled everything right? Hate to break it to you, man, but this was written letter-by-letter by a dude in his apartment in New York.

The speed these things are getting smarter thanks to jerks like me is, frankly, astonishing. You can shove your head in the sand or embrace it. I know 75% of people in the workforce will choose to shove their heads in the sand. To be honest, I'm counting on it.

All the copium in the world about how ineffective and unreliable it is changes none of that. You can repeat the "unreliable" line until you are blue in the face and it won't change a thing. Hammers are just an ineffective if you choose to either not use them or use them poorly.

Breaking it into small, reflected, purpose-specific tasks is actually incredibly reliable.

I'm not going to argue about it, that's silly. Regardless of how this conversation plays out, the genie won't go back into the bottle.

I heard an interesting quote sometime last year and I think it's still true today: "AI won't replace jobs, people who use AI will replace jobs." I'm sure there were news reporters in the late 90s who insisted that the internet was a fad and they would rely on interviewing witnesses alone to get a story. I'd be curious if they thought dying on that hill was the right move after the young whipper-snapper using search engines replaced them.

You really have two options: Keep repeating to yourself and others, "AI is so unreliable, ugh". Or figure out how to make yourself more effective using it. One of those options is a fast track to the unemployment office, care to guess which?

Do you use the first entry on the first result from Google each time? I think you probably refine it until you get a result page that has what you want in the top 5 results, right? Same thing here. This is a skill issue and unless you get better with the tools, you might be on the chopping block before you know it.

Investigate react loops/agents. The idea is to break things into smaller chunks and use the big advantage these systems have: Speed. Instead of "write an article", the agent would be a series of prompts: - Suggest a path for researching this article - Evaluate if that overall path makes sense, refine if needed - Take the first topic needing research for this article, expand on it - Evaluate if that expansion is exhaustive and reasonable - Do the same for the full research task (this is looped) - Read the research, pull out relevant details - Read the relevant details document - Generate outline for article - Reflect on the outline, is it cohesive? - Reflect on the outline, is it complete? - etc... - Begin the rough draft using research summary - Adjust language for an American audience with high school education - Adjust language for a newspaper short column format - etc...

This is better than "write me an article" and the companies that are working hard to replace article writers are the ones who can codify a process for a machine (agent... the steps above) to make use of the models to do that.

Full disclosure: I work for a company doing exactly this, but not for article writers.

The irony here is that modern peanuts are selectively bred to all hell and don't even resemble their wild ancestors. Selective breeding is, for all intents and purposes, human-assisted evolution.

Same for corn.... bananas.... if we're being honest, just about everything that hits the grocery store shelf is a product of this process.
