  • So my mentor’s mentor used to program for some ancient TI machine that used drum memory. He was a master of his craft and wrote his code deliberately so it would physically align with the next rotation of the drum, ensuring the fastest reads possible, and it cut tons of time off of every process run on them.

    I can’t even imagine what it is like to even write naked binary, let alone make sure every single one of my operation sets are the same length.

    Arguably it was perfect optimization.

    He still got laid off with zero thought when the time came.

    I’s there a lesson here? I don’t know, I’m drunk











  • LLMs are able to shape human beliefs.

    FUCKING THANK YOU!

    I have been trying to get people to understand that the danger of AI isn’t some deviantart pngtuber not getting royalties for their Darkererer Sanic OC, but the fact that AI can appear like any other person on the internet, can engage from multiple accounts, and has access to their near entire web history and can make 20 believable scenarios absolutely catered to every weakness in that person’s psychology.

    I’m glad your post is getting at least some traffic, but even then it’s not gonna be enough.

    The people that understand the danger have no power to stop it, the people with the power to stop it are profiting off of it and won’t stop unless pressured.

    And we can’t pressure them if we are arguing art rights and shitposting constantly.







  • I fucking hate lemmy now, you are just reddit with a sense of undeserved elitism.

    This is a serious as fuck problem and all that anyone replies with are jokes and shitposts.

    This is fucking /c/science, not /c/sciencememes

    But none of you care especially the mods, so I’m just blocking every one of you.

    edit: There’s an entire subthread here that is nothing but masturbation jokes, which of course the mods ignore.

    Fuck lemmy and its shitstain mod team same as the reddit mods but with worse hygiene. At least on reddit they keep /r/science clean
