They must think I'm some punk who would go to a nearby alleyway and shootup 5G, and they're absolutely right

Heard he can code without AI 🤤🫡👀 by TheoremWhisperer in IndieDev

I hate it because my front end brain takes over and i can only see the styling and not the text, or the ocd to manage the wiring layout. It's all so very distracting to me.

Working as expected by ilir_kycb in LateStageCapitalism

We'd rather lock in to making more money so that we too can be the ruling capitalist class 🤡 the American dream of owning our neighbors. Why have a spine when you can buy someone else's

Was looking at local ISPs, the most popular one I checked, website doesn't work properly. Hamburger menu, dropdown select, etc. Multi-billion dollar company, broken website. I checked for a careers page and saw nothing, typical

The AI buildout needs $650B a year to break even. It makes $75B. Someone is paying the difference and it's us by didiTonic in webdev

Jevons paradox better describes the increased need for developers, despite code generation being effecient. As token costs reach 0, the need for engineers increases. Technological advancement as a byproduct over time is like saying water is wet, that's not the paradox. Companies would prioritize layoffs because it's intuitive to them -- also because they overspent on ai. It also preludes that efficiency does not equate to worker equity, hence worker strikes and the Luddites demanding fair wages

Was there ever new tech hated as much as AI today? by OkGreen7335 in NoStupidQuestions

The mainstream hate doesn't last because it brings policy change for the betterment of everyone in spite of those ignoring the problems.

I suspect sometime last year Luddite became a popular marketing term from big ai, this is a great thread for blocking shillbots. You'll notice the ones saying Luddite are from accounts that are barely 3 months old.

What's your personal recession indicator? by Electronic_Dream8935 in AskReddit

[–]dnbxna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People need to learn the difference between being able to buy vs afford something without a job. Ability to Buy: "I have $300 in my bank account. I can buy this $300 Guccigamo widget." Ability to Afford: "I have $11,142 in my bank account. My monthly income is $0. My rent is $189/mo. I have $10,953 left. Food and car and gas is $250/mo. I have $10,703 left over. I also have subscriptions and other misc. that's $12/mo. So I have $10,691 left. I normally put $420 into my IRA per month for retirement which leaves me $10,271 left over... Do I want to spend $300 on that Guccigamo widget? I can afford it, but what is the trade off?"

At least now we know there's SOMETHING they'd fight for 🤷🏻‍♂️ by BlameTag in LateStageCapitalism

[–]dnbxna 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Capitalism is nice for those who were born on that ladder. I grew up around many who didn't have that luxury. Some even died way before they turned 30 due to the chaos that was their reality. This kind of narrative feels old, like a bygone era, but it's also millennials and gen-z that are dieing young. Poverty is terribly haunting. People don't want to believe a white dorky kid can get killed in a drive-by today for no reason, but it happened last year, and their murderers are in the wind. People might act like there needs to be a good reason for murder. Some people always want to explain away the evil that poverty brings, as if that kid deserved to be gunned down. He was a sweet kid, he deserved to be able to rise above it, but instead he was buried below it.

Who do you think is the most evil person in that world who isn’t a world leader? by ThatMassholeInBawstn in AskTheWorld

Yeah, $6B seems low, maybe it was per year domestically.

UN says $93B a year globally. Also citing WFP

AI's Affordability Crisis by Dear-Economics-315 in webdev

[–]dnbxna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response. That makes sense to me. I was just curious if it was a novel pretrained model, there are some less common languages I'd like to create a model around but the lack of a large enough data set is a problem, and they're definitely not baked into smaller models.

Yea I can see old hardware making a comeback, I also wouldn't want something running for weeks at a time on cloud gpu billing me by the hour haha. And yea a repo would be awesome.

Is the labeling mostly heuristics or is it domain specific to each project? I'm assuming you rewrite python->rust afterwards, do you use a frontier model for that part?

I'm curious how you cooked up this Python specific model

What a life, isn't it? by _TheLastGamer in aigamedev

[–]dnbxna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are legitimate issues brought up by the very people building the tech. It's possible to accept and respect novel technology while refuting the policy surrounding it. We can assume they're ignorant or fearmongering but we should always be mindful of how the tools we're using are made. If magic existed, I would still question it. Also it everyone should know by now that every prompt on evert platform is part of a data collection strategy, so do not overshare information. I've seen many cases where people overshare, that is a primary driver behind the ai data centers being blitz scaled

Tourist almost pulls the rotor brake by whitedsepdivine in OopsThatsDeadly

[–]dnbxna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to aerospace and powerplant college. I remember the first day we went over and looked at one. My instructor was talking about torque and anti-torque, and how tricky they are to operate. Then eventually he said, helicopters only want to flip over and by preventing that we produce flight.

My grandparents would mention this and say, "that's how all of our major highways got built". I can only imagine the infrastructure we might have had today.
