such as the key jailbreaking method right now being an appeal to empathy

Honestly the most optimistic thing that's come out of this. A potential AGI singularity is still terrifying to me...but this does take the edge off a bit.

18/20 because after that you ought to be able to be a candy-giver. This whole thing only works if we have enough candy-givers, and too late of a cutoff age skews the balance.

Maybe people won't pay money for it. Maybe they will. The problem isn't that people may or may not pay money--it's that you've placed your sense of worth in monetary value.

Read some existentialism, no joke. I don't agree 100% but I read a bunch of Beuvoir over the weekend and one thing I did like was it made me internalize the idea that coming up with a project I care about and achieving it is worthwhile in and of itself regardless of if it "could" be done by someone/something else.

Think about it this way, there are mathematicians from 500 years ago who did a lot of stuff by hand for hours that I could work out with a calculator in seconds today. But does that mean all their work was worthless? If I create a fairly shitty drawing, but I'm proud of my having created it, am I wrong to be proud simply because my friend who is a great artist could make a better one in half the time?

It's not just about the journey, but it's not just about the destination either--its about the journey to the destination, and placing value only in one of those things will cause you to be at a loss for the rest of your life.

As a full stack cloud dev usually for me it ends up being some lag between when Azure claims a thing was updated and when it actually was.

(shout out to azure B2C custom policies for taking like 10 minutes to actually reflect changes despite giving me a lil green checkmark)

That's a weird argument. Most technological advancements are directly beneficial to the work of only a minority of people.

Nobody declares that it's worthless to research and develop better CAD tools because engineers and product designers are a "vocal minority." Software development and marketing are two fields where LMMs have already seen massive worth, and even if they're a vocal minority, they're not a negligible one.

AI ≠ Micros*ft

For easy indexing. Lots of influential literary works have this. There's a universal standard indexing for both the works of Plato and Shakespeare, for example.

"big data" runs the content recommendation algorithms of all the sites people use which in tirn have a massive influence on the world. It's crazy to think "big data" was just a buzzword when it's a tangible thing that affects you day-to-day.

LLM powered tools are a heavy part of my daily workflow at this point, and have objectively increased my productive output.

This is like the exactly opposite of Bitcoin / NFTs. Crypto was something that made a lot of money but was useless. AI is something that is insanely useful but seems not to be making a lot of money. I do not understand what parallels people are finding between them.

To be fair, Spotify's recommendation system is the only algorithmic content feed that I feel actually gets me the kind of stuff I want rather than just exploiting my psyche, so I wouldn't be surprised if Spotify's AI integration is likewise the only of it's kind that has real benefit.

It could also be completely useless, who knows 🤷

Why do you assume there is one?

 

Hey all,

I am a software developer at a small company where I'm one of two developers. The other dev is primarily back-end and has been working off some basic cloud infra set up by an external company before I joined, so I'm essentially running solo on the frontend, some of the backend, cloud architecture, project management, etc. (really, everything except database management some of the existing api endpoints).

So, what are the best ways to improve in this scenario? How do you prevent a limited learning environment from limiting your growth? Has anyone been in a similar situation and learned some tips for making the best of it? Any ideas?

(Also, I know it's frequent advice to just say "move companies" but this job is a really unique opportunity, and I absolutely love the company, so I am not interested in doing that.)

Thanks :)

 

Hey all, I just purchased a Moonlander and after using it for a day, I unplugged it and packed it back up because I noticed my muscle memory on my laptop was already deteriorating!

I want to be an ergomech user, but I also need to frequently use my laptop by itself with a standard keyboard. Is it possible to keep my muscle memory for both? Have any of you had success switching back and forth between a split ergo and a standard keyboard?

Any advice or reassurance is appreciated. This was a massive purchase for me and this issue has me very disheartened at the moment.

Update: I got it back out a couple days ago and it turns out all I needed to do was use it for a day and then sleep on it so my brain could do a firmware update. I'm back at the 70wpm I was with staggered, and yet my proficiency with staggered has only dropped about 5/10wpm.

 

Secret third option: say you like Aristotle purely because of the ancient Greek aesthetic

FOSS Lemmy moderation tools? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Does anyone know of FOSS moderation tools or automod bots that exist for Lemmy? I was intending on starting work on some solutions but if projects already exist I'd rather contribute to those rather than risk creating 15 competing standards
