  • Yes, she is. Although she also spent part of her childhood and went to college in New Zealand. Apart from that she's Jewish.

    I mean, her last name does sound German, so maybe the guy you replied to just read the book in German and assumed that was the original language? But I can confirm it's not.

    She also is literally a boomer and her dayjob is being the landlord of a bunch of low-income properties she bought in Alberquerque, so if you subscribe to mainstream Lemmy's philosophies, you probably won't like her very much outside of her writing.

  • Actually, I would like it if it started its answers with "IIRC...". That way, it wouldn't sound so sure of itself when hallucinating, and I'd feel like I could gently correct it by telling it that it might be misremembering. Either way, it's more accurate to think of an AI as trying to remember from all that it's been taught than for it to come across as if it knows the correct answer.

  • You should report those, because I guarantee that someone is doing something about it.

    Keep in mind that companies outside of the EU that don't reasonably expect to have many visitors from the EU, if at all, might not be held to the same standards as websites that obviously operate in the be EU. We aren't the police of the internet, we can only tell EU countries what to do, so if you browse the American internet for example, you can't expect to have the same level of privacy as the European web.

  • Aha, okay, that makes sense. So now you got a working repellant device and a cool gold ring? Sounds like a win-win to me.

    Also, from the other side of the table, I really do know that feeling of seeing the ring and being a little more at ease, even though it doesn't make any tangible difference. Like, I wasn't going to hit on you regardless, but now I know that you know I've seen the ring, so you won't assume I am going to hit on you, if that makes sense. Not that I've ever been involved in such a misunderstanding in real life, but it's still nice to remove the question, I guess.

  • You should note that this was a Gmail feature that is now made available by a bunch of email providers, but you might wanna check that you do indeed get your emails delivered to plus addresses before you rush out to change your contact info everywhere. Some providers have lacking support and sometimes emails may fail to send to plus addresses even if your side does support it. Using a catchall will always work because you know, that's just how email works.

  • It is definitely the exact opposite of this. Even though I understand why you would think this.

    The thing with systems like these is they are mission critical, which is usually defined as failure = loss of life or significant monetary loss (like, tens of millions of dollars).

    Mission critical software is not unit tested at all. It is proven. What you do is you take the code line by line, and you prove what each line does, how it does it, and you document each possible outcome.

    Mission critical software is ridiculously expensive to develop for this exact reason. And upgrading to deploy on different systems means you'll be running things in a new environment, which introduces a ton of unknown factors. What happens, on a line by line basis, when you run this code on a faster processor? Does this chip process the commands in a slightly different order because they use a slightly different algorithm? You don't know until you take the new hardware, the new software, and the code, then go through the lengthy process of proving it again, until you can document that you've proven that this will not result in any unusual train behavior.

  • I'm also scared of what will happen long term. In the beginning it's a joke and we all post innocent poop jokes but you know before long, Poe's law is gonna kick into effect and it's just gonna be some real weirdos left on there.
