Can someone please explain? What would cause VS Code to show an image like this? Is this related to a plugin? (I don’t know what a docstring is)

So you’re saying instead of tacking “site:reddit.com” onto my Google search, I can now use ChatGPT to get the same information, except without the original context, and it will often be wrong? Amazing!

And this also means that companies will fill Reddit with fake comments promoting their brand to ensure that their brand gets mentioned in ChatGPT responses, right? Can’t wait!

Can you please describe how you do this? I thought Github Copilot can only make changes to the currently open tab? It’s been a few months since I’ve used it, and I’ve only used the Visual Studio version, which I think isn’t as good as the Visual Studio Code version. Has Copilot already gotten to the point where you can tell it to make changes to an entire codebase?

I don’t get it but it’s still funny

It should play a jump scare sound when you get an exception

They could add some kind of warning message that notifies you when the URL has unicode in it. Then the user can decide if they want to disable the warning or not.

I think it will happen. Multiplayer video games already match people with bots that are presented as if they were human players, and 99.9% of players don’t care. As long as a game makes you feel like you’re playing against other humans, most people consider that good enough. Similarly, as long as a bot on Instagram or Twitter feels human enough to be enjoyable to interact with, users won’t care that they aren’t actually human.

Sounds kinda cool but I can’t think of any situations where I would want to use it.

I see what you mean. In a way, lifestyle and fashion choices are already partially governed by AI, in the sense that Instagram and TikTok recommendation algorithms influence what the user perceives as being trendy. I don’t know if we’ll get to the point where people are literally letting an AI tell them what to do, but I think AI will only get more and more influential in our lives in subtle ways.

I got excited for a second cuz I thought this was going to be like Street Pass on 3DS. Someone should make an app that does that.

Why is everyone saying this is because Stack Overflow is toxic? Clearly the decline in traffic is because of ChatGPT. I can say from personal experience that I’ve been visiting Stack Overflow way less lately because ChatGPT is a better tool for answering my software development questions.

This is why I hate Twitter and Facebook. Their algorithms are designed to promote posts that cause political division.

“Today, I’ll go ride my bike with my triathlon team and get curious about what’s next for me,” he continued. “Tomorrow, I’ll get up and start something new.”

It’s too bad that the Twitter API has gone to shit, but at least we can all rest assured that this guy is on a triathlon team.

I know one crypto bro IRL. He acknowledges that it’s all just a pyramid scheme, but he enjoys it because it’s like gambling but with more strategy involved I guess.

As someone who isn’t sold on electric vehicles yet, this is a very good thing for me. Proprietary charging stations are one of my main reasons for not buying an EV yet.

This is very pointless and it just makes the headphones heavier for no benefit to the wearer

If Facebook is reducing the amount of controversial news that users see, I think that’s a really good thing for society (since presumably this means that fake news and rage bait news is de-prioritized as well.) But it is very shitty that Facebook has so much power over so many companies. It’s upsetting that a single company has so much power over what people see online.

People don’t dislike defederation because they misunderstand it. They dislike it because it’s a bad user experience. It sucks to effectively get banned from a bunch of major communities through no fault of your own. It’s a flawed system. I don’t know what a good solution would be, but it’s definitely an issue.

I guess one solution is to encourage users to join servers that are as small as possible, to reduce the chance of getting blocked. But that approach comes with its own set of downsides too.

We need an actual official setup tutorial that is kept up to date. The existing documentation for the Docker setup process is extremely bare-bones, and it doesn’t even link to the right config files. There are some unofficial tutorials out there that are better, but they’re outdated and they link to the wrong config files too.

If big instances are already defederating from each other then I don’t see how Lemmy can grow like many of us want it to. I mean, now any new user who randomly chooses Lemmy.World as their server is going to get a much worse Lemmy experience and they won’t even be aware of it. (Come to think of it, maybe I’m getting a lesser experience right now because maybe my server defederated from another big server that I’m not aware of.) This seems like a flawed system, or at least it seems like a system that isn’t intended to have much user growth.
