Dude, should I learn COBOL?
Cool idea
Love it when my coworkers reformat the code style, making it nigh impossible to understand what they actually changed, while greatly inflating their “contribution.”
It also blows away the git blame, making it hard to know who actually changed that one critical line of business logic 3 years ago that you need to understand before trying to fix some obscure bug.
I have one coworker who does this constantly and if you just looked at git blame, you’d think he wrote the entire code base himself.
Why aren’t the booleans like “facts” or “no cap” for true and cap for “false”?
Also, you could have exceptions be called “Sus”
I feel like the reason a company like skiff became more popular than something like cryptopad, which has been around for a while comes down to execution and UX/UI. I’m pissed about skiff, but I did use it. I’ve never used Cryptpad because frankly it looks and feels not that great. I hope they put some effort into the UX/UI.
Friendica is a Facebook-like app? Which means you use your real identity and connect to real life friends. This also means all that data gets passed around to any instance that wants it via activity pub. Given the potential for abuse there that is just inherent to the app, I don’t think I would ever be interested in a service like Friendica.
Regarding OCR theory, the screen never shows messages. It only will read them aloud because you’re driving and shouldn’t be reading your texts.
I like Mozilla, I respect their mission and their good nature. I can’t help but feel the billions they receive from Google make it too easy for them to be, at best, unfocused and, at worst, lazy. They offer a lot of random services like this. I fear this play is just chasing another possible mediocre revenue generator for them. Like pocket, like Mozilla vpn and private relay, etc.
Haha, I had actually been wanting to leave, but I had a feeling that a layoff might happen and I wanted that severance. So, I spent all my spare time interview prepping and waiting. Sure enough, we were laid off and I was primed to interview immediately.
For me it was a random 15 minute 1 on 1 with the director that appeared out of nowhere on my calendar.
I checked his calendar in outlook and saw like 8-10 15 minute meetings scheduled back to back. I immediately knew something was up. 5 minutes later my coworker called me almost sobbing saying he had been cut. I knew the deal. 15 minutes later another coworker called and said he had been cut too. Sure enough, my time came too.
It sucked but, I found another job before my last day and managed to pocket the 6 weeks of severance.
Any time I ask it to do anything related to the Bible it gives me the same line: “As an AI large language model, I do not have an opinion about religious texts like the Bible…”
Blah blah blah.

Ask ChatGPT to summarize Sarah Silverman’s book. Ask it to give you a few quotes from it.
How else would it be able to do that unless it had been trained using the book as an input.
Try asking it not to respond to you, or to say nothing.
That model didn’t know it. But in your conversation with it, you taught it that. Now if I start a conversation with that model, it still won’t know it, unless I bring it up. The model is mostly static. They update it sometimes, but for the latest information it needs to go to the web to look things up.
