People are giving great answers here. One I didn't notice at a glance is that the Fediverse is feckin small. Most of the world doesn't know it exists yet, and centralized social medias are probably not gonna be super big about pushing that info through their algorithms

I'll really really appreciate this. I like having a few federated services to bounce between when I'm bored, but not a huge fan of actually using pixelfed since it's more akin to social medias I never used. Having pixelfed content more easily accessible in Lemmy will make it a lot easier for me to interact with larger portion of the Fediverse

Yeah, it's honestly mostly an issue of me dipping into programming and not properly sticking to it for long enough to wrap my mind around some concepts. I heard all the warnings that "learning to program is usually one of the hardest things someone has accomplished" because of how late we learn it and all the other complications. I also, however, have heard my whole life that I learned fast and picked things up easily. Boy oh boy was one of those messages more useful than the other lol

This is a solid use of AI.

Basically the equivalent of saying "Take a look at these characters and run it against a huge database to see if you find anything similar with documentation of its purpose"

For anything that doesn't seem entirely obvious I try...

I've come to teach myself that I have no idea what "entirely obvious" is.

This function is 3 lines long why am I boggled by it right now? I should have written a comment

Have you tried actually following random strangers with no identifiable credentials unsolicited advice on your health and well-being? Like have you really tried?

Personally, I think you can get rid of this behavior by punching yourself in your dreams as hard as you can. I don't see anyway that this could harm you and it will instantly solve your problems because I'm a super genius and you should listen to me.

Don't be that ninny

I'll do what I want! Lol cheers, PTSD fucking blows. I'm not violent but I always wake up in a panic, no matter what the situation is. Jolt up with a sharp breath every morning and then sit there doing breathing exercises for 20 minutes

Big fuckin gun

To agree with you in different words, I would you argue that you can compare it to a calculator. Without the reasoning, a calculator is basically useless. I can tell you that 1.1(22 * 12 * 3) = 871.2 but it's impossible to know what that number means or why it's important from the information there. An LLM works the same way, I give it an equation ("prompt") and it does some math to give me a response which is useless without context. It doesn't actually answer the words in the prompt, it does (at best) guess-work based off the "value" of the text

Hello. I'd like to rekindle some of your optimism. In a little tiny corner of America, I know of at least one man with a plan to fix this situation.

The plan is relatively simple, start networking. You don't need to make friends per se, but relationships are powerful. Once you have established a relationship with enough people with similar issues to you (think coworkers, family members, people in your neighborhood, etc) start creating co-ops/non-profits. Food/housing are your best bets to get a foothold. As each co-op stabilizes, start on the next. Again, food/housing. Food can be done as a mutual fund and evolves into food drives. Housing starts with "you can crash" and eventually evolves into a non-profit expense-sharing apartment complex with a rent cap.

That last bit might be confusing. A non-profit, expense-sharing apartment complex with a rent cap looks like:

"Your rent is due, this month it cost us $X to keep the lights on, water running, land owned, etcetera. We have Y tenants, which means we need $X/Y from each tenant. Due to the 30% AGI/$1700 (whichever is lower) (according to average rent in America) rent cap, some high earners may be asked to contribute a slightly higher amount than listed above. If this policy applies to you, a second notification will be sent to you."

Eventually, combine them. Why shouldn't your tenants eat for free? You just add "bellies full" to that list up there.

The best part about this plan is that you can give up at literally any point without really fucking with your life too much. The whole plan is basically "make friends and offer to pay their bills until no one needs to pay bills anymore"

Not technically my first lease, but the first one that I'm financially responsible for which is pretty neat...

Ya know I was gonna say "all things considered" at first but I realized that it's actually only neat if you consider only a small portion of things. If you consider all things, you would realize that paying rent in a post-scarcity world is laughable

That's why I'm stupid! End of shift sleepy brain forgot about the parent comment talking about the spring because of the confusion about velocity. Seems so silly to forget a piece of the conversation while I'm having it, but this happens a lot. I really oughta get an ADHD diagnosis lol

Countercounterpoint: who else have they been surrounded by? What influences do they receive outside of their family?

This feels wrong to my brain. Something that is much heavier must take more energy to move, and therefore to stop. The same velocity doesn't necessarily imply the same amount of kinetic energy right? Now I gotta go look this up or wait for someone to tell me why I'm stupid

God yeah it is. Feels like it was built for the steam deck (with the exception of track pad weirdness)

And that's exactly the thing, the threat model is so different. In gamedev, they're thinking about those networking issues for sure but man oh man are they WAY more worried about RCE in those drivers you mentioned earlier.

Why? For the same reason Emacs is a text editor, internet browser, and Spotify client. For the same reason that "will it run doom" is even a question. Because their game got hacked before they even opened the first text file to make the game

And that's not even to mention security. I'm in a CS course right now, and sure we talk about cyber security and social networking and blah blah blah.

Go ask a game dev about their security patches and you'll see the WORLD of difference in the two spaces

Agreed, and I kind of wish CS and game dev weren't considered so similar. They both program, sure, and those skills can be moved.

Go ask a Microsoft dev to explain game theory, hotkey availability, and UX. Then, ask a game dev the same questions. You'll get wildly different answers because they wildly different goals

I just wanted to say that your debate etiquette is exceptional, first of all. Secondly, I agree on many points. Musk has been a right wing nut job for years. He publicly became a Nazi last year/earlier this year depending on local awareness levels

That's not true! Their battery suppliers play a big role in ensuring there's just enough contamination to get through inspect and still catch fire!

Ooh now you can be my reminder AND you've taught me the reminderbot ping incantation. Thank you for both of these things
