Yea, talk about overcomplicating a simple task.

I absolutely loved Seinfeld (the show) and recently saw his stand up in person and it was absolutely terrible, it was actually pretty shocking. He’s just so incredibly unrelatable now.

Jesus this community has some of the worst jokes, I can’t believe someone wasted time illustrating this.

I mean it’s entirely an arbitrary distinction. AI, for a very long time before chatGPT, meant something like AGI. we didn’t call classification models ‘intelligent’ because it didn’t have any human-like characteristics. It’s as silly as saying a regression model is AI. They aren’t intelligent things.

Yea, do it to fill your resume with some good points but once you’re not learning anything new it’s time to leave.

Nah your boss is just getting you to work beyond what you’re paid to do.

Honestly they should go back to calling useful applications ML (that is what it is) since AI is getting such a bad rap.

Why not just use markdown?

I actually read this recently and I don’t think he’s autistic, but he was definitely written intentionally to show how a fairly confident, competent person (bordering on smug, but not quite) would struggle on prism.

That’s a featured snippet, so not AI at all.

I’m a tidyverse zealot and I just cannot stand fixing people’s 300 line base R spaghetti that can easily be refactored into 10 lines of dplyr. Especially annoying when researchers can’t move away from doing everything in matrix format (when it’s unnecessary).

Autohotkey is the most arcane fucking language I’ve used, idk why someone hasn’t rewritten it in something clearer.

Bosses will never understand this and discourage refactoring until months later nothing works and everything has to be rewritten…

I’ve only been programming seriously (for work) in the last two years and honestly don’t get the copy pasting memes. I get copy pasting a 1-3 line terminal snippet sometimes, but idk how people are getting away without actually writing their own code.

Rclone is superior IMHO, you have to explicitly name the output folder. Used to think it was a hassle but in hindsight being explicit about the destination reduces mistakes.

I use GNU find every day and still have to google about the details. Only learnt about - delete the other day, good to know the position matters.

Wouldn’t syncing automatically every few days give you the same protection though?

Did woodworking before I started software engineering, and I feel like the general attitude to craftsmanship applies well to coding.

You don’t have to wait, they’re doing it now.

I really like Google sheets, QUERY() is so useful.
