AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
  • Had a weird compulsion when seeing an ad for a dress, went into denial and redirected my focus to something else on the ad for my feelings (a stupid looking hoodie).

    When analyzing these feelings I soothed myself by thinking "maybe I could just dress up mannequins as decoration or something".

    Most egg moment of my life. It's like my brain knew and purposely avoided it.

  • Will AI fully replace human friendship/companionship someday?
  • Disregarding the fact that it'll never work on a societal scale until the LLM at least gains the agency to disagree with you without you simply changing the prompt or settings, which isn't what would sell.

    My experience with LLMs has been a mix bag, it feels like the models keep fluctuating in usefulness and diversity. One moment the LLM will fill the void I have from a lackluster maternal figure in my life, another moment it'll just regurgitate surface level responses with "sweetie" affixed at the end.

    It's an interesting little puppet, but it's strings keep getting tangled.

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • There was a brief window after ChatGPT when I had a twinkle in my eye and thought "this is an impressive start, how will they improve it? How will they make it more efficient?".

    That went away when all the tech companies in unison slurred out "make it bigga!" then pushed to production.

  • It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play?
  • Some of the high concept type of spells you can make eventually is insane. You truly can play with forbidden magic except it's sawblades and nukes.

    Noita just has that genuine sense of awe and exploration I've only experienced in OuterWilds (Also a really good game, progression is story and information based, do not spoil).

  • Twitter/X anonymous login and no Government censorship
  • Just use 4chan if you want an anonymous hellsite? Elon always commits weird and insane censorship, like setting up "cis" as a slur but reinstating nazi accounts.

    Truth social was a knockoff Twitter, and now X is just a knockoff Truth social.

  • It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play?
  • I'll be playing work 🥲

    Besides that I'm currently playing Paper Mario for the first time (I don't know if remakes count on this sub).

    Also Noita, if you like exploration and tinkering, and can find humor in dying a lot to physics or yourself, then I highly recommend. You could sink endless hours into it; beating the main portion of the game is jokingly referred to as the "tutorial".

  • When programmers with ADHD/Autism get interrupted from a fixation (like a video), suppressing that interruption, even if unproductive or unimportant, becomes their new fixation.

    I've been guilty of this many times, for better or worse.

  • would you do this?
  • Programmer solution:

    Each episode is defined by the earliest point they travel to, excluding that episode's "present".

    Jam all edge cases at Epoch (1970) or the present if you prefer (2024). Sort these by order of release.

    Push to production.

  • yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no
  • I imagine it's because the attributes that IQ measure could be the same as we use to measure success.

    Effectively if your test is based on the skills needed for STEM, and the STEM fields have jobs with high pay and respect, then you're likely to be considered "successful". But the same person could be awful at communication, politics, the arts, and just be ignorant at large to how the world works. They may even be hyper specialized to their field but lack the flexibility in their intelligence to understand other STEM fields (I hear physicists are guilty of this).

    Another, simpler answer, could just be that already wealthy people have better access to stable education, so they were already successful in many ways.

  • What vital task did you not realize someone was doing regularly until they suddenly stopped?
  • God you don't realize how many tiny things you need to buy until you don't have them.

    You'd expect to find something like a ruler, some tape, a pen, sticky notes, ect. but realize you gotta buy them first instead of just searching your clutter drawers.

  • ISPs seek halt of net neutrality rules before they take effect next month
  • The infrastructure would be things like fiber cable wired to each house.

    But in this scenario, the ISPs would be manning the servers that your connection is routed through. So they'd still have massive influence on the speed and data.

    If the government owned the servers, they could block and track down anything against state interest.

    Not saying they can't do that anyways, but at least the third party makes the process more difficult, less seamless, and gives the chance of new competitors.

  • The master race condition
  • Don't know if this has been fixed but Gemini was telling people it's unethical to teach people C++ or memory management.

    Because it's considered "memory unsafe" but Gemini took it literally and considered it to unsafe to teach.

  • Anon can't find a good match
  • Just looked it up, basically means personality disorders that cause people to act erratically.

    Includes Antisocial-PD (closest diagnosis to the unofficial terms psycho/sociopath), Bordeline-PD, and Narcissistic-PD.

  • Sup!

    I'm a Tans Pan Girl who's a little ENBY but still she/her. Obligatory I like programming, D&D, and MTG.

    I made the transition (heh) from Reddit and it's been surprisingly smooth. I initially set up base in Sh.itjust.works but after seeing 196 and SapphicArt (please post more there) I moved to Blahaj.

    I was worried there wouldn't be enough content or gay energy for my 12 hour work day but the 196 rule is ingenious for quickly populating a social network.
