@eschaton I think in some ways it will be even worse because LLMs just seem like automated copy/paste code. 4GLs at least imposed some sort of structure. LLM code will get big and messy so it will take developers longer to dig through, understand and correctly code it. Especially since their initial brief will undoubtedly be "It just has a few bugs - we just need you to fix those."

@carnage4life #ElonMusk has shown time and again that he is an imbecile who just happened to be born into wealth. But most of the MSM still thinks he may be some kind of genius. Unbelievable.

Elon Musk Proves Yet Again That He's Just Not Very Bright

America's dumbest smart guy strikes again with an idiotic take on subways.

WAIT WHAT?!
We are capable of pulling energy straight out of (humid) thin air now?! 🤯

"“To be frank, it was an accident,” says the study’s lead author, Prof Jun Yao. “We were actually interested in making a simple sensor for humidity in the air. But for whatever reason, the student who was working on that forgot to plug in the power.”

The UMass Amherst team were surprised to find that the device, which comprised an array of microscopic tubes, or nanowires, was producing an electrical signal regardless.

(...)

However, 20,000 of them stacked into a washing machine-sized cube, they say, could generate 10 kilowatt hours of energy a day – roughly the consumption of an average UK household. Even more impressive: they plan to have a prototype ready for demonstration in 2024."

‘It was an accident’: the scientists who have turned humid air into renewable power

Tesla speculated electricity from thin air was possible – now the question is whether it will be possible to harness it on the scale needed to power our homes

Don’t be edgy.

Edgy is being passive-aggressive.

Being passive-aggressive is an NT communication style, not an autistic one.

Some autistic people internalize this as part of their masks.

If you want to be passive-aggressive, just be “aggressive” and say what you want. Be you. Don’t sugar coat.

#ActuallyAutistic @actuallyautistics @actuallyautistic

@prk @actuallyautistics @actuallyautistic that is implied in all statements I make. I acknowledge nuance and abhor absolutes and speak about it on a daily basis here. I cannot preface every single statement with a disclaimer. I'm sorry if that's what you need.

Again - i don't speak for all autistic people nor do all autistic people share the same experiences. everyone is unique. everyone has their own experience. there are some experiences which are more common than others, but just because you don't fit into that doesn't make it so.

Now - making edgy statements which are not clearly communicated it an NT communication form. Most autistic people do not respond well to unclear communication. It's dysregulating. No, not every statement made with snide in the effort to make oneself seem cool to others is passive-aggressive, but they usually are.

Like, I know christianity sucks planetary sized ass right now in the u.s. but I saw white/cis/het/male dominated atheist groups completely shit the bed in oddly similar ways.

The fucked up in human folly goes deeper than just religion.
