I'm starting to think people that claim to like the fediverse dont understand the point. We want to be able to follow Threads accounts here without having to have a Threads account. That's the whole point.
No single entity is in control of social media. That's the glory of federation.
Blocking major companies from the fediverse will be the death of the concept. Don't silo yourselves in fits of hate and segregation or you're no better than the things you claim to protest. https://techhub.social/@HilliTech/112207853697301125
Study finds that Github Copilot lowers code quality and maintainability:
"We find disconcerting trends for maintainability. Code churn -- the percentage of lines that are reverted or updated less than two weeks after being authored -- is projected to double in 2024 compared to its 2021, pre-AI baseline. We further find that the percentage of 'added code' and 'copy/pasted code' is increasing in proportion to 'updated,' 'deleted,' and 'moved 'code. In this regard, AI-generated code resembles an itinerant contributor, prone to violate the DRY-ness [don't repeat yourself] of the repos visited."
The paper concludes: "How will Copilot transform what it means to be a developer? There's no question that, as AI has surged in popularity, we have entered an era where code lines are being added faster than ever before. The better question for 2024: who's on the hook to clean up the mess afterward?"
Okay, picking up from my video game post yesterday, I'm curious:
When you play video games, rpgs, ect, where you get to choose your character, do you tend to choose a character of the same sex, the opposite sex, non-binary, anthropomorphic, or a mysterious 4th option?
If you want to share screenshots of character builds I would enjoy that!
I’m in a long line for the bag drop at the airport. A robotic cart joined the queue. It alternated between demanding people move in Japanese and English, and voicing the same demands at a variety of barriers.
People have done their best to acquiesce to its demands, but it’s now stationary and shouting in multiple languages.
Do you think libraries will NOT survive and eventually become obsolete? Please respond why below and share. If there's enough respondents, it will be used for an article.
Hubs has finally had a negative Covid test, and I had a nearly invisible line, so I'm thinking by Monday I'll finally be clear too. Now it's in the negatives for awhile, so we are still stuck inside. What do you do to counter Cabin Fever?
