This sort of thing is so self-sabotaging. The website already has your comment, and a license to use it. By deleting your stuff from the web you only ensure that the AI is definitely going to be the better resource to go to for answers.

I am becoming increasingly convinced that so is the human brain.

Why hasn't it been incorporated into IDEs until now?

FaceDeer, 13 days ago

To the contrary, I see code like that all the time in my career. I've written some.

The example shown was specifically selected because it's funny, not because it's representative.

The fact that you called the tool "chatgpt4" suggests you're not experienced with copilot. They're not the same thing even if they're using similar LLMs as a component.

Within IDEs people go out of their way to install Intellisense so that "shit randomly pops up while they're typing." There are companies whose whole existence depends on people wanting that to happen.

Very odd. Where I live you're not supposed to return the bottles with the cap, they're different plastics and the recyclers don't want the caps. You're supposed to throw the caps away in the regular trash.

FaceDeer, 12 days ago

I leave the little ring on and nobody's complained yet. I was just told to remove the caps one time, so I kept on throwing those out since then.

FaceDeer, 12 days ago

As I said, someone did complain about the caps.

Now the effort is going into finding reasons not to like things, it seems.

Given he's into cross-species dating he can't be that good a boy.

Maybe, but Trump has already had a weird vendetta against wind turbines for a long time. They had the audacity of being near enough to one of his golf courses that he imagined they might be visible (they're not) and reduce its value. Ever since waking from that night-terror he's been on the warpath.

Even this post showing it off feels like satire, how exactly does a room with cigarette smoke in it "fuck the planet?" Do people think cigarette smoke emissions are remotely relevant on a global scale? Poe's law is strong in this one.

Sure, but having a smoking section in Tim Hortons isn't going to change that. I'd think it'd make it more likely for smokers to throw their butts out in a manner that can be properly disposed of, rather than making them smoke outside.

Note that I'm not advocating smoking or smoking sections. Smoking is awful on many levels and I'd rather see it go away entirely. I'm just pointing out that it's ridiculous to say having a smoking section in Tim Hortons is going to have a significant impact on the environment. Jumping to "this is going to fuck the planet" is crying wolf, it's going to result in people either getting sick of environmentalism or more subtly problematic it'll result in people thinking they're making a difference when they're not. The plastic straw ban, for example. Plastic straws were never a major contributor to ocean plastic waste. By far the largest contributor to ocean plastic waste is discarded fishing equipment, but I don't see any campaigning to reduce seafood consumption. People banned straws instead and then thought they'd accomplished something.

Fortunately it doesn't have to be exactly like the real thing to be useful. Just ask machine learning scientists.

Got to run out of stuff to burn someday, though. Then things will go back to normal.

So, Microsoft recognized and responded to all the complaints by removing the feature that people were objecting to.

Resulting headline: "Microsoft is trying to hide the evidence that they were thinking of doing that thing we hated! Hate them harder!"

Do people want companies to just ignore complaints completely because there's no way to satisfy anyone anyway?

Yeah, why aren't regular folks building reusable heavy-lift rocket systems?

FaceDeer, 10 days ago

And even if SLS is an example of non-private rocketry, it's hardly something that should be touted as a positive example. Especially not when launch pace is your criterion.

FaceDeer, 10 days ago

Some are, but they still don't build rockets. I think there's some other factor that's important.

I should note that currency and capitalism are not the same thing. Pretty much every existing economic system has currency of some form, it's just a way of tracking the relative values of various things so that people can make agreements about who gets what.

FaceDeer, 13 days ago

You answered your question in the sentence right after your question. The landlord owns the property and so he can do what he wants with it. He's letting you live there but has decided he wants something in exchange for letting you live there. If currency didn't exist he'd want something else in exchange.

FaceDeer, 13 days ago

Are you suggesting people shouldn't be allowed to own stuff? There are very few economic systems where people aren't allowed to own stuff and they tend not to be popular. Most of the people who are complaining about landlords and rent and whatnot really just want to own their own houses.

I wouldn't exactly call Israel "secular" when it is built around the concept of a particular religious group having special status.

Doubt this one scored a Hugo nomination like Space Raptor Butt Invasion did. Cheap attempt to ride its coattails to popularity.
