> Was Microsoft nefarious when they deployed Clippy?

Yes. It was predictive programming for getting (paper)clipped by AI.

>AI autonomy

>'type a prompt'

Which is it?

> Two years ago (or even one) things like this were unthinkable to be done with LLMs

No, they indeed were thinkable. That's why there's been progress.

Replace 'explain' with 'sell'. Don't forget that it's a gold rush. There's no reason to sympathize with corporations in their rush for the slice of the pie.

> The “AI” industry has many flaws, the word “consent” being seemingly missing from training data and company handbooks is one of them

Yes! The most consentless (don't underline this in red firefox!) technology that I can think of certainly.

edit: also install and use Linux

>nothing bad has happened That you're aware of.

Heh you write like someone from 4chan. That's not what the author is saying though.

If you create a machine for laziness you're going to get lazy people. It's only going to get worse I'm afraid.

Do you guys think we're going to see a de-evolution of human beings due to technology?

Certainly money well spent and technology properly utilized. Could have learned an actual skill instead.

It's always funny seeing people that write like this as if they are somehow exempt from the future we're seemingly rushing into. Bro, you prooompting yourself into unconsciousness is not going to make you not obsolete. Unless you're being sarcastic in which case poe's law.

It's been really interesting to see all the desperation on hero pages for all these products and services ever since AI came into prominence. I think the funniest for me was opening IBM DB2 product page and seeing it labeled as 'AI database'. Hysterical.

> why, or, what is meant by More errors caught at compile time means an agent can quickly check their work statically without unit and other tests.

You're right that zig is vaporware - not because of other languages - but because programming is going away entirely.

How does it feel to see all your programming heroes turn into Linkedin-style influencers?

tenacity == while loop

> People use it for legacy reasons

This is so incredibly wrong it must be a troll.

There is principle of the matter and then there are exceptions. We say that women can give birth. That holds true in principle even if there are those who can't due to biological failings.

I had an idea for a new markup language. I'm thinking of being cheeky and calling 'Yet Another Markup Language'. Hope it catches on!

Are we on bizarro HN?

No, you ask the DB to EXPLAIN itself to you.

That goes for all (active) software really. Otherwise people call it obsolete or abandoned.

>the man The man, right. Not the father.

Check his profile.

> about: I believe in the creation of a machine god

Sounds about right.

>fur iphone

Science has gone too far!

Seriously, thanks for pointing this one out. I haven't heard of it before.

No it doesn't. Think invites to private torrent sites.

> Also when doing joins its cleaner to use the table_name.id or alias.id then table_name.table_name_id or alias.table_name_id or whatever else besides id is used However, using 'table_name.table_name_id' and then having another table with an FK that references it with the same name i.e. 'table_2.table_name_id' allows you to use a shorthand 'USING' clause instead of 'ON' in databases that support it.

There's a reason Windows went from 'MyComputer' to 'This PC'.

That's essentially true for all of EU. If you've ever done integration with EU central services you know what I'm talking about.

>tweak QEMU for performance and passthrough Any guide you could link to that covers all of this? I would like to setup a very performant windows VM.

One thing I'm missing when modeling FSM like this is different states having different set of constraints, even if only being concerned with nullity. It's a shame having to make the field optional just because you do not have the appropriate value in the initial state of the entity.

One thing I'm missing is pkcs11 API in browsers. This seems to not make sense to US devs from what I could see but if you're in EU you can probably commiserate.

Was just thinking the same. It's also nicely ironic. Also, given the replication crisis I wonder how many of these LLM research papers are actually worth a damn and how many are research paper equivalent of AI software grift.
