Who?

It’s cutting my programming work in half right now with quality .NET code. As long as I stay in the lead and have good examples + context in my codebase, it saves me a lot of time.

This was not the case for co-pilot though, but Cursor AI combined with Claude 3.7 is quite advanced.

If people are not seeing any benefit, I think they have the wrong use cases, workflow or tools. Which can be fair limitations depending on your workplace of course.

You could get in a nasty rabbit hole if you vibe-code too much though. Stay the architect and check generated code / files after creation.

This is a brilliant description; the feeling OP has is probably on a way more abstract level than most of the comments here are thinking of.

Interesting video, thanks. I think the main point is that most (historical) data has a lot of gaps and wrong interpretations / extrapolation. People like Pinker seem to (perhaps just ignorantly) somewhat cherry pick data and use it as an argument for their optimistic statement.

It depends on what you mean by “ugly”. Seeing so many people worldwide vote for harsh xenophobic policies made me realize that I consider most people sort of ugly.

Perhaps they are just afraid, but it paints the real world picture. I don’t think people are good or bad inside, just egoistic. Me included.

Still I try to see the good in people and I tend not to whine, but I do understand the pessimistic views.

Congratulations! Same here!

It’s a bit weird though yeah, especially if you are waiting in line for that stall to open and only when entering discover it’s not going to suffice your needs.

Interesting, would the muscles of someone living far away from the equator be stronger in general than compared to someone with the same genes / lifestyle on the equator?

We need reasonable people like you in this chaos.

Do they contain more sugars by default perhaps?

You forget the falling asleep literally 12 minutes before your alarm goes off.

Why isn’t this as easy as storing some of that excess energy in a home battery and letting the rest down in a wire into the ground? Then if it’s smart enough it could only give back energy when needed.

I crave for some kind of religion and I want it to be real, I think I was made for it genetically. My core being tries to find meaning in everything, every story, every feeling, the connection with others. Therefore I understand that desire.

But I just can’t take the bullshit when I think about it rationally. The lack of doubt people have in any of their beliefs and the kind of certainty they support their imagined traditions and Gods with. It’s insane.

Finding a meaningful life feels natural, but the only truth I have is that I cannot believe anything for certain. So all religion becomes a complete mindtrap for people who use it to sooth themselves.

And that is fine, I get it. I get that you don’t want to question it as that’s harder and makes life more chaotic. And I also feel some envy for people who are able to not care (as much) about uncertainty. But good for them.

The only thing is, keep those ideas to yourself and your community and accept others for not being able to commit to your story. My story and all my beliefs are probably also flawed, but that doubt is a healthy way to accept that others have different ideas.

For this exact purpose. To impress your ex? Sounds fair enough.

Yeah that’s what I remember as well, I was joking :)

Of course. Perhaps I should add that I’m not from a native-English speaking country. I’ve seen lots of times where people, mostly not so highly educated (which is a large segment of the population), just don’t see obvious satire as it is or in their hate make the jokes part of their argument set.

Partly because they only understand half of it or are willingly blinding themselves and just further fueling their rage.

Just saying, source / certificates might mitigate some of those issues or at least make them easier to debunk for the ones who they forward their ‘evidence’ too.

I’d like to believe that as well, but sadly I’ve seen even more obvious stuff that some of the people I know use to validate their world views, even when it’s clearly satire.

They just interpret the whole thing wrong and somehow filter jokes. And they use it, or parts of it, as fuel for their beliefs and share parts within their community without context.

I could see some harsh humour in it as well, but it should clearly be labeled “parody”. The way it was shared now is a terrible idea, but we’ve all seen it coming…

All media should have some securely signed source that’s easily viewable and pops up at the start and end of the video (and is visible in the pause screen or on hover, also in case of an image). If it was not signed it should show that as well, like web TLS certificates.

If no internet is available it should show that it cannot verify the source without a connection. There should also be a proposed default date in which the baked in certificate might get less secure, which should also show in the media.
