  • Using AI on libraries you know inside and out (you know all the attributes of the classes you’re working with and you know what the arguments are for every function) feels great. Using AI on libraries you’re not familiar with will simply cause you to lose time because AI will give you code that returns different object types than the library is expecting. Then, instead of understanding why you’re asking it to fix it, it will try variations of similar code and make up an excuse as to why now it’s fixed, despite it having no clue what the problem was. Even if the code “runs” you’ll have to refactor it anyways because code is not one size fits all.

    It can be useful to sparking creativity but if you’re not reading documentation you’re just looking busy while not accomplishing much

    My immediate reaction is that the owner probably took the picture himself trying to go viral and immediately took it down. Nothing gets solved in this country anymore unless there’s a dollar to be made and looking like a good person is somehow more important than being a good person. Why would the person even read it on the front door? Why not discretely package some food and put it next to the dumpster with a note stuck to it? Nothing about this makes sense when you analyze it. The few real heroes of this country are unsung, the rest is just virtue signaling.

    It used to be a way bigger deal when computers were very memory scarce, if you needed to say, represent 1024 values, that means you’d use 10 bits or 2 bytes, the remaining 6 bits could be used to store other related information like flags but more often than not it would be waste (unused values that still have to be represented as 0s)

    These numbers are pretty arbitrary nowadays but they still show up a lot in computing. They didn’t choose 256 so they could represent it in a byte, the real reason is probably that groups larger than 256 can’t realistically be managed by users.

    That’s my 2¢ anyways.





  • At a certain point, money is not about wealth or what you can buy with it but rather about power. And in life’s twists, those who amass a decent amount of wealth and power come to believe they are “chosen” because of how society treats them. The poors worship the rich. if we were living in a sane society, these amounts of wealth would be looked at disgustingly by society. Shit is beyond fucked and I don’t think anything can unfuck modern society.

    if these people were any kind of Christian they would be worried about the end of their mortal lives. Instead they are speedrunning everything Christ taught us NOT to be.
