According to Poon, some of the company’s most experienced personnel left before all of their accumulated knowledge could be fully transferred into Ford’s automated systems. That necessitated bringing back some of those employees to retrain those systems...

See this, nothing was learned by these slop-shits. Their take away wasn't humans-with-experience > than slop-bots. It was, unfortunately, 'we didn't extract enough knowledge from the humans that helped build our company before tossing as many humans away as possible. Once we've extracted enough, we'll try again.'

Fuck you poon and co.

How DARE another company rape and pillage the data and IP we raped and pillaged!

~anthropic, probably

Fuck them, and ycombinator, fwiw.

It may be a red flag with him being so forward, so fast, with a relative stranger. I'd be worried if you two are the only two going fishing on Sunday (e.g. is he trying to get you alone for the wrong reasons), and you should confirm who else will be there before you commit. If others will be there, go and have fun!

Basically, yes, he does like you (Congrats!)... And it's awesome if you like him back. BUT he has to earn your trust to be granted alone-time outside of public places. And having warm and fuzzy feelings is not the same as earning your trust. Only time, patience, communication, and if others vouch for him, should be the things that move the needle of trust for a new person coming on so hot and heavy.

Good luck!

Just coffee?!? That's cool.

Mine runs on:

• coffee
• spite
• tortilla chips
• & shame

I'm with you, MasterBlaster!

It sucks for lots of us, more every day, so at least we're not miserable, alone.

I've been using OuterTune for a couple of months, feels like it's the current best of the ones still being updated!

Nice!

Honestly, it all starts going to shite after "hello world."

I don't think my keyboard is as smart as y'alls:

I'm sorry for being me home something yummy later lunch w friends giving was nice if you can add dog food and peeps still love you.

Back in the day, I had a roommate in her late 20s, that didn't even know there was a dryer screen, let alone know to empty it. I spent months wondering why my least-linty clothes were still filling up the screen... My wife spent months wondering why it took 3 cycles to dry her stuff... The landlord spent hours cleaning out the dangerously blocked duct.

Clean your filters after every use, peeps!

Hey @[email protected],

First, I think your sketch is great!! I'd encourage you too feel pride in it, because you did it! I bet it's better than you could do a year ago, and honestly a lot of people could never do that much (including me). So keep running with it.

Second, you said you are genuinely trying to get better at art. So keep putting your efforts where your mouth is by continuing to practice, and not taking any shortcuts to the finish line just to get a finished product. Shortcuts don't make you better, grinding does.

Finally, is it slop, yes, but I'm a bit more lax on your question about using ai-slop than some others. By example I mean:

• If your goal was simply to make (with a LLM assist) some cool looking desktop background for your own personal use it whatever. Go for it, enjoy! But don't go sharing it saying 'look what I did,' cause you didn't, fully.
• If your goal is to publish something (& you mentioned 'your book'), esp to sell it, I personally would take no pride in sharing something a slop-bot was used to get it out the door, nor would I appreciate it being shared with me. And I'd love for you to feel pride in every aspect of your personal projects.
  • And if you've got a vision for a project, and you're worried it'll never happen without help, I get that. But while it could be hard, maybe you could search for another artist whose style you like (there is a LOT of starving ones right now) to partner up with you. Maybe you commission them, maybe you become co-owners of this project, etc, but ultimately it becomes a project two+ people could be proud of! 🥳
    • And if you get to that finish line the way a creative should, I'll honestly be super stoked for you. So let me be first in line to pre-order the fruits of your labor. I believe in you! Keep us posted.

As an american, at this point in time: Idiocracy.

I thought Jellyfin was just a self-hosted client/server for the media you already possess..? Are you just being tongue-in-cheek and I'm whooshing a ref to #SailingTheHighSeas, or am I missing something about Jellyfin?

/s Thank goodness all APIs are perfectly documented so a slopbot can figure it out (every time), and build a ui on the fly, and not brick everything. 🙄

Me, too.

Any use? Always! Exercising your brain will never be a bad investment!

But which language really depends on why you want to learn and what you want to do with it, though! Coming at it from a 'languages with an abundance of learning resources' perspective (sorry not exhaustive):

• You want to program devices; LEDs, microcontrollers, sensors, etc? Python!

• You want to make a pretty website? JavaScript with the React framework!

• You want to prototype out a monolithicly big web app quickly? Ruby on Rails!

• You want to make infographics? R!

• You want to start a career in Software Engineering? JavaScript with Node, Go, Rust, or C# with dot-net framework, and many more*. Also, abort, don't do this, AI is decimating the job seeking field right now.

So, it really depends on what YOU want to do with it. As others have hinted, a programming language is often just 'syntactic sugar' to accomplish the same programming concepts. Most all the modern languages can do the same things, just using different function-names/words/syntax. So as a learner, just frankly ignore all the "{X} is best at {Y}" arguments, including those above, and instead: concentrate on the concepts (like loops, recursion, associations, type control, etc, etc, etc.) over the specific language, first. Good luck OP!

Shayla from Mr. Robot. I just lover her so much for some reason.

"SLAMMED" !!!!!! 🙄

The truth is, in regards to fertility, we have perfect eggs our entire life.

That is demonstrably false. While it's true that oocytes have remarkable properties to maintain their proteins over long periods. And more-recent research suggests egg quality isn't nearly the infertility culprit it was once thought to be (as compared to, ovarian health, for instance). The fact remains that as women age, chromosomal abnormalities DO occur at higher rates.

Yep. This was that one for me, too. I actually loved the ending, but it made me feel so bitter for the middle 109 minutes I had to sit through to get there! Never again.
