AI Code.
  • I got used to using Copilot for a project that had it be accessible for very junior programmers (thus: lots of explanation in comments). It worked great, creating a chunk of boilerplate for each described function.

    It's absolutely useless in the real world. Code is 5+ years old, crosses over various coding conventions and does not use the stuff seen as default on StackOverflow.

    Copilot couldn't figure out what I wanted. Intellij's long list of internal If-statements does the job though, and saves on a few households of power consumption.

  • PDFs
  • I've never heard that. I want my CV to be a representation of what I can do, not how much time I spent making what I can do look good.

    My resume was about 4 pages with Europass, but in the end the cover letter did the heavy lifting.

  • Anon uncovers something big
  • 5G towers do cause covid. Without 5G my WiFi would be far too shitty to book a cinema seat and get nice and infected by Karen her unvaccinated crotch goblins.

    Edit: yes I am looking at a different provider.

  • All Proton Drive apps are now open source
  • GitHub has a "clone" button, if you click on that you can get git links to download the code. The http-URL doesn't require authentication.

    Edit: I misread the comment that it's about a different app.

  • Guess what happened here
  • As an amateur house renovator (my own, not to flip), I've done that pop once or twice. It's why we don't buy the cheapest equipment, so the insulation actually protects us. € 20 is a cheap price for not going to the hospital for a mistake.

  • Project Analyzing Human Language Usage Shuts Down Because ‘Generative AI Has Polluted the Data’
  • Imagine being an author whose sole income is writing books.

    Here comes an AI that stole indexed your work and is asked by a customer of OpenAI to summarise your books. It does so perfectly and the issuer is able to use your results freely, since they think it's AI generated and doesn't require attribution.

    You receive nothing in return.

    Good luck making a living.

    Edit: stole to indexed, added edit note

  • We're so fucked
  • "punitive" as in punishing? That sounds like the US treasury will be receiving 100.000.000 then, since an individual shouldn't be the recipient of any "you fucked up, now pay the fine" in any scenario.

    Fines explicitly not being caused damages, solely fines.

  • USPS' long-awaited new mail truck makes its debut to rave reviews from carriers
  • The Dutch postal service has deployed a ton of ID.Buzz Volkswagen vans. They're super cute, very recognizable and are off the shelves (with some custom frames inside most likely).

    But most postal delivery is done by bike, which is not feasible in the United States (either large distances or unfit roads, or both).
