@S1m I've considered putting the existing test account on guard rails. I guess that would work even without setting up a dedicated domain for that. However sometimes - and it's very unclear when and why - they just set up regular accounts.

Taka mnie refleksja od pewnego czasu nachodzi – w kwestii uczelni, którą kończyłem jakiś czas temu (dobra, 25 lat temu kończyłem, 30 – zaczynałem). Otóż obecnie syn jest na pierwszym roku na tym samym, co ja kiedyś kierunku, na tym samym wydziale i na tej samej uczelni. Ma też zajęcia z kilkoma osobami, które pamiętam (i z tego, co mi mówi junior, nic się nie zmieniły, oprócz wieku ofc).
Nie zmieniła się też jedna rzecz... Niezależnie od tego, jak zmodyfikowano nazwy przedmiotów (np. automaty cyfrowe -> układy cyfrowe), czy jak młode osoby prowadzą wykłady, ćwiczenia czy laborki, materiał nauczania jest praktycznie ten sam co 25 lat temu... A zatem poznają tajniki maszyny Turinga (nie powiem, fajna ciekawostka), czy też maszyny "W" (w różnych wariantach; a potem w zasadzie i tak muszą poznać asembler procesora, na którym będą robić coś konkretnego), uczą się elektroniki analogowej (dziś rano udzielałem młodemu korepetycji z obliczania parametrów wzmacniacza tranzystorowego w układzie 0E i 0C oraz tłumaczyłem zasadę wyprowadzania wzoru na wzmocnienie wzmacniacza operacyjnego – wiem, w technikum elektronicznym tego uczę; czy przyszłym informatykom jest to potrzebne?), podstaw elektrotechniki... Jest też matematyka (za moich czasów studenckich rozdzielona na dwa przedmioty), czyli analiza z algebrą, fizyka (prowadzona tak, jakby to był najważniejszy dla informatyków przedmiot i jak któryś go nie zaliczy, to nie zostanie specjalistą w dziedzinie szeroko rozumianej informatyki). A, i mają też przedmiot o nazwie Programowanie komputerów, na którym – na laborkach, bo ćwiczeń tablicowych na szczęście z tego nie mają – realizują projekty w... nie, nie w Pascalu ;) W C++ (i to jedyny pozytyw i ukłon w stronę czegoś, co powstało po 1980 roku).

Czy mnie to dziwi? Tak, byłem przekonany, że przez 30 lat coś się zmieniło na moim kierunku. I że studenci, chcąc się nauczyć konkretów i rozwinąć zainteresowania, nie będą zdani tylko na siebie, jak my kiedyś.

Młody się wkurza. Nie dziwię się. Też się wkurzałem.

@compost_funeral @mookie

There’s a bit of a narrative though.

In Waterfall, you tend to build the pieces, then build up, but may not have anything functional until the end.

In Agile, you focus on building something basic & working first, then iterate, improving it but keeping it functional through your iterations.

The last one (AI) is a non-sequitur pile of unrelated nonsense.

I think that’s a big part of the tech joke.

@darth_hideout @mookie thank you for explaining the joke to someone who had 0 context!
Show threadSepia FanJun 23

@darth_hideout

Waterfall & Agile 👍

I think the AI iterations are not unrelated, but are meant to show the deterioration in the process of prompting. Like:

Prompt 1: Build me a car.
-> AI produces the car lookalike.

P2: That doesn't look like a cat¹ and it should have one more wheel.
-> AI produces a cat tricycle.

P3: Damn, not a cat, btw. animals don't have wheels.
-> AI produces a duckling (not a cat) w/o wheels.

😅

Show threadFeyterJun 23

@mookie the thing is: With waterfall you may end up with the car as planned but than you realize, you needed a truck instead.

And with agile you actually end up with a car that has teeny tiny skateboard wheels and a wooden frame because that's how you started and replacing it would be to expensive.

So AI is the only approach that is consistent all the way. You start with crap, the in-between is crap and the end result is crap.

Show threadJan AntošJun 23
@f4grx @feyter @mookie the most strange part was, when they say AI is not taking sides and makes perfect decisions, well that depends on what are the values. And I highly doubt AI can and ever will be able to weight between different values case by case. And I would like to see sensible human being willing to be managed by AI. Next scary thing is AI crap in HR departments now being renamed to PeopleOps.

And when you touch the duck car alarms blare. It honks instead of quake and there are wheels and gears inside it instead of organs. Also it goes the speed of pebble by rotating its legs like they are wheels.

@mookie these humorous pictures never challenged their underlying assumption. Most customers and users don’t actually know what they want and are unable to articulate it well at any point in the development process this picture assumes the customer needs a car to solve their problem and that they need that specific kind of a car by the end of the development process.

I don't think that was the point at all

Show threadBrian "bex" ExelbierdJun 26
@peribotsarah @mookie @lproven sure, it wasn’t their point. But since this other idea doesn’t validate their priors they ignore it. Of the people I’ve met who preach the point this comic tries to make, they don’t actually want waterfall, instead they’re upset about something the other method do (meetings, hallucinations, whatever). But praising waterfall implies a desire for waterfall in all its glory. Also these aren’t equals to compare.
