LLMs ain't gonna replace programmers any time soon (they might get us laid off, but they're not going to do our jobs no matter how much executives want them to), but they seem to have already replaced executives, though sadly without the laying off part.
It's becoming more and more evident that these extremely harmful idiots (including CEOs and whatnot) have completely outsourced all their decision making and what little thinking they used to do onto LLMs.
We're being ruled by vegetables parroting hallucinating autocomplete engines.
YouTube (and Google in general) has been horrible for multilingual users (and users who want to see content in a different language than the default for whatever country they're browsing from) for quite some time, but lately it's getting downright unusable without untranslator browser extensions.
The index is there (the NTFS file system maintains it automatically) and is fast (as programs like Everything Search demonstrate)... Windows Search is simply not using it anymore, probably so it can shove sponsored shit in the results, or maybe due to lost knowledge due to lay-offs.
Frankly, with the garbage Microsoft is producing these days, and the rate at which the quality, for lack of a better word, is degenerating, I'm starting to consider if LLM slop might actually be less worse...
The NTFS file system does maintain an index, and software like Everything Search or WizTree can use it to produce almost instantaneous results (probably faster than back in the XP days, even with larger discs).
The problem is that Windows Search stopped using the damn index for some reason (probably to provide sponsored web results and whatnot instead of whatever you were looking for).
Just get Everything Search and you'll be able to search just as fast as you could in XP, and with no Bing spam messing up the results.
Funny¹ thing is that Everything (and similar programs like WizTree) can be that be that fast because Microsoft's own NTFS file system has a built in file index, which is what Windows Search used back in XP; the search programs practically don't have to do any work, NTFS has already done it for them.
Of course, though, that'll give you the results you want, not the results Microsoft wants, which explains the change in later further enshittified versions of Windows.
1.– And by funny I mean not funny at all. Sad, in fact. Tragic, even, maybe.
Trump's never given a flying fuck about anything other than Trump, and never will.
He is enough of a narcissistic idiot to believe he could achieve peace in the middle east by bombing Iran, though, not because he cares about peace but because he genuinely believed it would get him the Nobel peace price, which he needs because Obama of all people got one, and extremely narcissistic Trump's never gotten over Obama making fun of him at the 2011 White House Correspondents' dinner.
When both Israel and Iran immediately violated his unilateral ceasefire (to the surprise of no one but Trump) he saw his prospects for said Nobel price, which he already considered in his pocket, evaporate, which explains his tantrum.
lizard that can spray blood from its eye, but nothing in the animal kingdom past or present has a human's innate ability for ranged attack
I don't know, a hawk plummeting from the sky at 190km/h onto something the size of a small rodent is kind of impressive, too, if you count the bird throwing itself as throwing...
Also in very short races (up to 100m) if the human is an olympic athlete, though mostly because momentum is a bitch and it takes time for the horse to accelerate all that mass, and by the time it's done the race is already over (it also probably helps that the athlete knows what they're doing while the horse is just along for the ride and wondering where it can get some grass).
Most animals know humans are too much trouble to mess with.
Sure, you can kill one human. But next thing you know your whole species has gone extinct, or worse, has been domesticated into pocket yappy dogs that can't breathe properly.
In places where we've been around long enough staying away from humans has practically been bred into every surviving predator's instincts by now (which is what makes polar bears so terrifying, they're about the only dangerous predator that doesn't have this instinct yet, and probably never will, now that murdering whole species has become a bit of a bad look); anything that considered us prey and didn't learn not to simply doesn't exist anymore.
Wolves in particular (in the few places where they survive) definitely know not to mess with us, except maybe in the frozen depths of Canada, and so do most bears (again, with possible exceptions in the least populated bits of North America) except polar ones.
Krokodil, probably.
(Seriously, don't look up images of its effects, it's extremely NSFL shit.)
