Jeg har holdt mig mere eller mindre væk fra nyheder siden d. 4. november 2024. Mit lille nervesystem kunne ikke klare mere elendighed.

Men efter at have læst den her nyhed (well, overskriften), så er det helt rart med lidt perspektiv på hvordan det står til i DK, efter at have at læst at Iran rakte ud for at forhandle, men så bombede Israel lige det iranske gasfeltet South Pars, og det Iranske gassanlæg Ras Laffan i Qatar, og nu stikker priserne helt af igen på naturgas. Det er så fucked det der sker på det geopolitiske plan for tiden.

Nice haha, also a new one for me.

Both my wife and I do this to each other all the time. While we both do it, we still get annoyed when the other is doing it, because we are only right 60 % of the time or less.

Hvis du er ligeglad med utroskaben, men egentlig bare gerne vil have sex med din kone, og at din nabo så har det i stedet for dig, så passer det måske med misundelsen, men det er nok det du kalder lidt søgt, haha.

Haha I love that. I never remember to bring a reusable bag to the store and I hate myself every time I have to buy an overpriced plastic bag, for roughly 90 cents per bag.

But that’s nothing compared to buying these reusable bags every time. I could imagine that it would work on me.

Oh, that one was new for me. In Denmark we something similar. We call it Error 40.

”Error 40", where the error is not in the machine, but approximately 40 cm in front of the screen.

It’s great at pointing you in the correct direction. As a Linux newbie myself, I’ve been through similar things as OP and used llms to help me debug the issues, but almost every time it suggested something a bit more complex than your average command, it was wrong. Luckily, I never trusted the output from the llms, but it got me so far, that I knew what to search for in forums and then get the right solution.

Do you know if there any studies on whether the effects of the medicine used for ADHD could have similar positive effects on people with CPTSD?

I believe you’re right. In Denmark the speed limit on highways are 130 km/h and limited to 110 km/h near the larger cities. Country roads have limits of 80 km/h, some 90 km/h and some 70 km/h.

Driving 150 km/h on the highway is not safe, when everyone else is driving 130. And most of our highways only have two lanes in each direction.

The speed limit is also typically 80km/h on these barely paved roads in Denmark.

This might be a hot take. I have a hard time with people who constantly drives above the speed limit. To me it says a lot about who they are.

E.g.

• they believe that rules don’t apply to them

• that they are egoistic

• that they are reckless and can’t foresee the potential consequences.

• that they lack empathy

I’m terrified of letting my kids roam, when they get old enough, like i did myself. But also, I want them to do it, and also without tracking them.

I suspect I will be even more anxious about letting them roam with a tracking device than without. I would probably check it too often, and freak out if the signal was lost or something like that.

I asked my parents recently if they were ever freaked out and nervous when I was out, and they weren’t. I can’t imagine it.

Sure, but i’ve just reached a point where I don’t want to get bummed out, everytime I open a social media app.

There must be positive things to talk about, and not just the enshittification of everything and the end of the world.

I have a filter on

• Trump

• ICE
• Vance
• [Ai] slop
• Microsoft
• Grok

My All Feed is basically empty now or consists of posts with zero or very few comments. I love the filter option, but it has also made it quite clear what is being pushed the most on Lemmy.

Jeg tror mange danskere bliver ramt på varmen. Det er vores største bekymring her hjemme. Vi kører udelukkende luft-til-vand varmepumpe, og uden strøm, så er vi sgu på den. Det ville hurtigt blive meget koldt.

Uden at tænke over det, så gik jeg med samme i gang med at prøve at forstå hvordan det dog kunne være en dårlig ting…

Men dejligt, vi har godt nok brug for lidt lys.

Did these developers not have experience with AI?

This is from the article

But Rush and Becker have shied away from making sweeping claims about what the results of their study mean for the future of AI. For one, the study’s sample was small and non-generalizable, including only a specialized group of people to whom these AI tools were brand new.

I’m not sure focusing on one aspect to scope a reasonable and doable study automatically makes it “really low effort”.

You are right, but I believe they should at least have chosen another use case, to make it interesting. I wouldn’t have needed a study to know that an AI performs worse than a developer in a project the developer most likely built them self. The existing project might have some really weird code smells and work arounds that only the developer on the project knows about and understand. There might be relevant context external to the solution. The AI have to be a mind reader in these cases.

But, if you gave the AI and the developer a blank canvas a clear defined task, I just believe it would be a more interesting study. *

It kind of sounds like they were just handed a tool they knew nothing about and were asked to perform better with it. A mitter saw is way better and faster than a regular saw, if you know how to use it.

*edit

To make my point more clear, I don’t mean the developer needed to solve an issue that’s not related to his daily work, but a task that’s not dependent on years of tech debt or context that is not provided to the AI. And yes, by that, I don’t believe code generation from an AI have a big use case in scenarios where the project have too many dependencies and touches on niche solutions, but you can still use it for other purposes than building features.

I get the agenda of the study and I also agree with it, but the study itself, is really low effort.

Obviously, an experienced developer working on a highly specialized project, where the software developer already have all the needed context, and have no experience with using AI, will beat a clueless AI.

How would the results look like, if the software developer had experience with AI, and were to start on a new project, without any existing context? A lot different, i would imagine. AI is also not only for code generation. After a year of working as a software developer, I could no longer gain much experience from my senior colleagues (says much more about them, than me or AI) and I kinda was forced to look for sparring elsewhere. I feel like I have been speed running my experience and career, by using AI. I have never used code generation that much, but instead I’ve used it to learn about things i don’t know i don’t know about. That have been an accelerator.

Today, I’m using code generation much more; when starting a new project, or when i need to prototype something, complete mundane tasks on existing projects, make some none-critical python scripts, get useful bash scripts, spin up internal UI projects, etc…

Sometimes, i naturally waste time, as it takes time for an AI to produce code, and then it takes time to review the code, but in general I feel my productivity have gained by using AI.

I have nothing to compare to, but I recently bought a Dell OptiPlex 9020 for $15/£13. It works wonders. I run a handful docker containers and a VM and haven’t experienced any issue since I bought it. It’s my first time experimenting with a home lab setup.

Fedt med transparens! Har I skrevet ned et sted hvad de månedlige omkostninger dækker? Hvilken hosting løsning der er valgt osv? Og prisen må vel stige med antallet af subscribers? Eller hvordan fungerer det?
