Change the doctor. She needs better help.

Don’t all social media and internet companies do that? It’s all a case of machine learning. I can’t open Insta these days without being blasted with reels of boobs, cleavage etc. My wife gets reels of cooking, dancing etc. It doesn’t have to do anything with our searches or viewing. They’re using our personal information to create a model and shoving targeted content based on that down our throats. This has the highest probability of increasing engagement on their platform.

I think foreign countries take advantage of free speech, free press and social media to influence voters in a specific direction. China is one of the major players of this game without any downsides because they have high censorship with domestic replacement apps. All of the popular western apps and sites are banned as well.

Right. Kids used to die like flies back in the day when there were no smartphones.

Doesn’t matter if the teacher is an absolute gem and knows how to captivate kids who want to learn. Most kids prefer the dopamine hit from social media and other phone usage compared to actually learning. It just ruins it for kids who actually want to learn.

I think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for “Reddit alternatives” after they were banned.

It has gone way beyond that. Where I work, we have access to GitHub Copilot experimental SWE Agent. It’s ridiculously smart at looking at your current codebase and implementing a solution. The other day, I used it to build a page in our web app in 3 hours with prompts and minimal code changes myself. If I had done it myself, it would have taken me at least couple of days. But the SWE agent looked at the tech stack, patterns, structures etc of our web app and implemented based on that. Asked if it should add unit test cases for the new files and update the existing ones. Out of curiosity, I said yes. It kept iterating and running the tests until it had 100% coverage. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. To make things even interesting, it said it noticed that we use storybook testing so it went ahead and added couple of storybook tests as well.

Vibe coding means the human is working with an AI Agent which is trained to be a software engineer. The responsibility of the human is only to write detailed prompts and the AI will write most or all of the code.

Yeah, not gonna happen where I work. The top brass is already pushing for “moving fast” every single day. “Use AI to be x10 more productive”, “Use vibe coding in your work to reduce time taken” are the common things that we hear. There’s no way they’ll do a 4 day work week.

Sodium ion batteries don’t have the energy density of lithium ion batteries. Yet. If they manage to mass produce energy dense sodium ion batteries, then yes, it would be amazing.

Ah I see. Thanks for the details.

Maybe I’m uninformed in these things. But isn’t it super easy to get the supply of eggs increased domestically? Even in a country like India which almost has 1.5 billion people, I’ve never heard about a shortage of eggs.

The other day someone posted in Canada community that Canada should stop using Tesla cars and import Chinese cars. I replied saying, “That’s like replacing one evil with another.” I was downvoted by a lot of people. I should’ve expected it cuz a lot of people have short term memory.

Wrong “gas”? Most Americans don’t know what gas is. They really have no clue that gas stands for gasoline and it’s a different petroleum product that diesel. The other day I saw someone arguing with another person for saying “Oxygen is a gas”. The American kept saying, “No, oxygen is what we breathe. Gas is what we fill in our car.”

I think you’re unaware of the Chinese interference in Canada. By Chinese, I mean CCP. Assassinations, interference in elections, you name it. Just because they’re not vocally hostile like Trump and Musk doesn’t mean they’re not doing significant damage.

I propose a hell in a cell match between the two Presidents.

That would be like replacing evil with another evil. CCP are not angels.
