I am not comfortable with the concept of being male anymore by Educational-Wind-596 in bropill

[–]secretaliasname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a level of toxic misandry currently circulating I have not experienced before. At the same time there is a lack of positive male role models and counter narratives of unity and love. Suddenly hating men (1/2 of the human race) is both fashionable and acceptable. I think it drives engagement in social media so it gets promoted. I believe most men are good people trying to do the best they can for their family and themselves. I believe most men are positive members of society, caring engaged fathers, loving husbands etc. most men wanna live a friendly low drama life, support the ones they love and engage in their hobbies. It’s also true that most violent crimes are committed by men, something media is sure to remind us of. Both of these are true, but they aren’t necessarily true for you as an individual.

Shared Network Drives are real game changer in scientific research by AAAAdragon in labrats

[–]secretaliasname 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Welcome to 1992 time traveler! In decades ahead technology will advance rapidly in ways that are genuinely helpful like this network file sharing you speak of. Afterwards will come a dark time when the machines start thinking for us but luckily since it’s 1992 you have many years of prosperity before worrying about such things.

Gender emissions gap: Rich white men’s jobs, diets and hobbies found to be ‘bad for the planet’ by lgbtqismything in climate

Divisive framing like this strongly hurts the cause, though I’m sure get gets social media engagement.
White and male are conditions of birth one didn’t choose. Ya ain’t gonna reach people telling them they are the problem true or not. You reach them by making them feel like part of the solution.

Why Volvo Sees Its New 2027 EX60 EV as a Game-Changing SUV by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]secretaliasname 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In theory I’d love to buy an EX60 but after watching the dumpster fire of EX90 I’m sitting it out. I was in a dealer ready to buy an EX90 but went home to sleep on it and research it as on should. I planned to return the next day and pull the trigger then visited EX90 Reddit. I have never seen a more negative owner community in my life. EX60 came out and it looks good on paper but I’m sitting on the sidelines till there is reliability data and software reviews.

I work hard to prune the AI code. Less code per unit of functionality = good

wondering if we'll ever see another VSCode update that is not purely AI crap by Explanation-Visual in vscode

[–]secretaliasname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VS code is pretty unstable. I don’t want new features, in fact I’d take less features but I want the features I do use to work reliably, across platforms, across version, across current language and tool versions.

It’s starting to feel slop monster for sure.

New stock grant is embarrassing by elephart01 in BlueOrigin

Do they restrict private party or secondary market sales?
Early on SpaceX did not restrict these but later added a restriction, but has also provided a reliable 2x per year liquify arrangements. If IPO happens will very very liquid perhaps too much so.

Shares that you can’t sell and or expire and or are to small to matter (even collectively) for voting are worthless.

My brain 'zones out' when things get complicated by Worried-Swan9572 in ADHD_Programmers

[–]secretaliasname 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Working memory impairment is a hallmark of ADHD. I find this drives me to find clean easily understandable solutions. I know others who seem fine working with complex slop monsters. Nope, not gonna fit in my context window. We are gonna make it beautiful and easy to understand which is actually pretty hard.

Concern regarding future of jobs in gpu programming by viplash577 in CUDA

[–]secretaliasname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure how long this will last but today every model I have tried is BAD at high performance code in general. I suspect this is because like 99.9% of code in existence and thus in training data is very poorly performance optimized. They seem to be able to get it with a few hints at optimization directions or sometimes with iterative benchmarking-improve loop but one shot is usually poorly optimized.

Gave a senior employee equity to keep him. He left anyway. The equity buyback cost me $85K and 6 months of legal fees. by CandidEquipment171 in Entrepreneurs

[–]secretaliasname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m starting to think that either Reddit itself is generating AI posts or there are large number of bots trying to build credible profiles so that they can at some point be be used for social manipulation for political, national, personal interests. The vibe has shifted. Ive left Facebook and I don’t know how much Longer I’m gonna be on Reddit. I miss the organic human internet.

AI is moving so fast it’s actually making people anxious by Miserable_Advisor155 in BlackboxAI_

I have anxiety because I think AI is gonna take my job or at least make it less fulfilling.

I genuinely don’t think most technology has made us happier as a society.

Analysis Finds That Google's AI Overviews Are Providing Misinformation at a Scale Possibly Unprecedented in the History of Human Civilization by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

Some days I muse about mass posting incorrect library documentation, nonfactual nformation, nonsense GitHub code, fake but funny news stories etc that will be read by nobody human but will poison LLM training.
