I agree with the first part. For me, AI art is the chance to have a somewhat creative outlet that I wouldn’t have otherwise, because I’m much worse at painting that I can stand. Drawing by prompts helps me be creative and work through some stuff - for that it’s also nice and interesting to see that the result differs from my mental image. I will tweak the prompt to some extent and to some extent go with some unintentioned elements of the drawing. I keep the drawing on my phone in the notes app with a title and the prompt.
To get back to the beginning: I really do agree that the societal impact on the whole appears to be negative. But there are some positives and I wanted to share my example of that.
I‘d call this politics instead of social dynamics and argue that its importance differs across companies, but generally. I’d agree though that I also don’t find this out of the norm (in those specific circumstances)
Really interesting. I always put bad estimates down to individual biases, not something more systematic. I’d be really curious to see if this also is true for bigger tasks and whether it changed over time (at least for me I can honestly say it didn’t), small insights like there might reduce friction when working within a team or with narrow deadlines
Im afraid this will get buried, but I‘ll try anyway since I haven’t seen this angle yet:
I’m at a point in my career where I now feel „ready“ to answer questions on SO and want to help others. So my question turns into another direction: where should people eager to provide help go to? Is it still SO or are there other places?
- Reddit: I only stumble upon questions by accident, and often on mobile where I’m not in the mood of typing long answers or code.
- GitHub: I’m mainly here looking for answers myself, is there a nice way to look over all issues for a couple of projects so that I can easily see whether I could help somewhere?
- discourse, discord, …: usually framework-specific, so not as ideal/comfortable as SO I imagine
Are others on the same situation? Where do you answer questions nowadays?
I find your post quite interesting - at the same time I believe that one reason those hymns are repeated so often is that for the majority of businesses, 99% of the values lies in simply following them and not thinking too hard about theories etc. there will often be a relatively clear path forward prescribed by the software used, know how, or (where no software is used) ease of implementation.
Im working exclusively with a remote connection (although inside the company network, so some security concerns don’t apply). I have Jupyter running as a service on Linux and am using a password instead of the generated token. So the URL stays the same and I don’t have to worry about anything much.
The setup is working good for me - there are a couple of nuisances but they’re all related to the rest of my circumstances and use case, not to anything mentioned above.
Why are you assuming that rules weren’t followed? Is there any reason to suspect this? I’m not the greatest fan of the police by far, but it’s not like this (seizing assets without prior conviction) is a novel or anything but standard procedure happening in the frame of clearly defined rules. Should a murderer run free up to his conviction, even when there’s strong evidence of his crimes? Shouldn’t the police seize assets of drug cartels at the moment they can instead of years later when everybody is convicted?
Probably most of the OS or program-specific stuff they’re learning in school will be out of date when they’d profit from using it anyways. Children need to learn more general concepts, otherwise they end up like my mom suffering every time windows decides to change the UI.
For that matter, mixing windows and Linux might be even better since they’ll need to adapt and transfer knowledge (although this would probably be painful and exhausting for everyone involved)
Not too much info in the article unfortunately, but I’m looking forward to seeing how this one plays out and who was behind this.
Based on the fact that a) they got caught, b) the topics mentioned in the article and c) that it’s Berlin, it could be anything from Russia to a random guy getting sent the link by accident and having some fun.
I don’t know what’s what, but to add an opinion: the leading expert in Germany (Drosten, who developed the first PCR-Test for Covid) has also stated in various contexts that he heavily doubts the lab-hypothesis.
It would be nice to have a somewhat more definite answer to the question, but I’m doubtful we’ll ever know.
Related to the last bit: I was somewhat surprised DuckDuckGo is not a total scam because for years it got installed on my pc packaged with other software if I wasn’t paying attention (or the installer was especially crappy and didn’t let me opt out)
I would agree - only that I don’t find many people on Twitter criticizing the trio. The article mentions one tweet (30 retweets, under 300 favs as of now - even after being mentioned in the guardian). Searching to the name doesn’t reveal much - some newspapers and mainly people laughing about the affair.
That’s one thing I don’t like about Twitter: I think single Tweets get blown out of portion quick, mainly because the media report on them as if „Twitter“ wanted something instead of single people.
From my experience it’s reliable and I don’t muss any features, but i don’t need anything fancy. If you just want lightweight git and control you data, go for it.
It usually does. The argument here is about the proportion of the response.
