Should be because of election interference via business fraud

Fades ,

Biden did that, among many other great things for the average american citizen

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

if it's not crypto miners with GPUs it's AI, these narratives never really connect well with reality. /u/0ptimal wrote a great comment on this post: https://alexandrite.app/lemmy.world/comment/10355707

To no surprise, the other comments are full of laypeople that feel they understand the entire field they have never studied well enough to preach to others about just how useless and terrible it is, who also know nothing about the subject.

Fades ,

So either something is EVERYTHING from the start or it's not and thus not worth pursuing further.

Did I get your position right? The usefulness and applications for AI both now and in the future far exceeds what you've tried to boil it down to (thus destroying any nuance), your willful ignorance is showing.

but ai bad, and all that.

Fades , (edited )

That is an absurd reduction of reality, blatant illustration of dunning-kruger in relation to LLMs

Fades ,

You are insulting someone simply because they didn't go along with your strawman? Intelligence is in short supply these days.

Fades ,

We get it, you don't know what you're talking about.

God, I love it when laypeople feel they understand the entire field they have never studied and are oh-so-confident to preach to others who also know nothing about the subject.

there are lots actually: https://bito.ai/blog/free-github-copilot-alternatives-for-vs-code/

that article is clearly biased towards bito but it's a decent list none-the-less

here is a better one: https://stackoverflow.blog/2024/05/29/developers-get-by-with-a-little-help-from-ai-stack-overflow-knows-code-assistant-pulse-survey-results/

Fades , (edited )

I love all the people telling you you're wrong, few if any are actually developers themselves.

For those that aren't: https://stackoverflow.blog/2024/05/29/developers-get-by-with-a-little-help-from-ai-stack-overflow-knows-code-assistant-pulse-survey-results/

Fades ,

That's bs now and will only become more so with time.

This was posted two days ago:
https://stackoverflow.blog/2024/05/29/developers-get-by-with-a-little-help-from-ai-stack-overflow-knows-code-assistant-pulse-survey-results/

We found that most of those using code assistant tools report that these assistants are satisfying and easy to use and a majority (but not all) are on teams where half or more of their coworkers are using them, too. These tools may not always be answering queries accurately or solving contextual or overly specific problems, but for those that are adopting these tools into their workflow, code assistants offer a way to increase the quality of time spent working.

The majority of respondents (76%) let us know they are using or are planning to use AI code assistants. Some roles use these tools more than others amongst professional developers: Academic researchers (87%), AI developers (76%), frontend developers (75%), mobile developers (60%), and data scientists (67%) currently use code assistants the most. Other roles indicated they are using code assistants (or planning to) much less than average: data/business analysts (29%), desktop developers (39%), data engineers (39%), and embedded developers (42%). The nature of these tools lend themselves to work well when trained well; a tool such as GitHub Copilot that is trained on publicly available code most likely will be good at JavaScript for frontend developers and not so good with enterprise and proprietary code scenarios that business analysts and desktop developers face regularly.

But go ahead, speak for the whole goddamn industry, we're totally not using AI or AI code-assist!!!!

Fades ,

Just because that is what you see of AI does not mean that's all it does. Dunning-kruger goddamn

Goddamn what a beautiful comment, brings a tear to my eye

Fades ,

Biden has done a LOT more than just fucking up turbo tax's should-be criminal racket.

First US president to join the union workers ON THE PICKET LINE
In many ways we have handled this world-wide inflation shit better than any other in the G7 nations
Unemployment numbers are at record lows, .01 lower than any other time in the past 10 years at one point in january and april of last year and since then has only risen around 0.3-4 points

I could go on and on, but instead, others have already done so for me:

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/02/joe-biden-30-policy-things-you-might-have-missed-00139046

I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE how fucking often I hear this goddamn BULLSHIT about how Biden is simply "not trump" and hasn't done much, like holy fucking Christ.

If ANYTHING, Biden should be over-commended given that he accomplished all of this with THE MOST CHAOTIC AND DO-NOTHING congress EVER.

Fades ,

How fucking stupid can you be? You can run for prez if you are in jail, for this exact reason -- so that the opposition doesn't just jail their opponents and be done with them (like Trump would do, if he were to win again)

furthermore, Biden is FAR more than just "not-trump"

FUCKING FACTS

Fades ,

Hey cool, we work at the same company

Fades ,

Still beating this dumb fucking dead horse?

Fades ,

Just over it, it’s not interesting or funny to me hence my comment. Nowhere did I express anything resembling being upset. You’re just projecting the stance you perceive as my truth without any evidence to that effect.

Fades ,

You know what, my friend. Just let it go, like the dead meme you’re defending

Fades ,

Fuck meat eaters unironically, your precious (inhumane and disgusting) meat farms have absolutely fucked the environment. Thanks for that

Fades ,

You’re a real moron

Fades ,

True, humanity is a goddamn cancer I’m glad you understand

Jokes aside, your opinion is bullshit. Meat is not a requirement it is a PREFERENCE

Fades ,

What a horrible thing to say, especially since Elon and Tesla have only relatively recently turned to absolute shit. There are a lot of Tesla drivers that don't support what he has done to the company and all that.

Here you are advocating for the death of people because they purchased a vehicle. A lot of people bought Teslas as they were one of the better EVs at the time during Tesla's climb to their peak (which they have since fallen very far from). They too deserve death?

Fades ,

statically

statistically?

Fades ,

Literally WHO did not see this coming??

Did the fucking chimps begging for death not tip these people off???

Fades ,

Ya think so??

I'm already a paraplegic, may as well just fuck my brain too

Not sure the logic checks out

https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/

Fades ,

they killed a bunch of monkeys as part of that goal to get it out the door: https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/

I guess disabled humans aren't shit either to elon

Fades ,

https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/

it's far more than just not going smoothly

Fades ,

It’s about a lot more than one person.

yes, but Musk is pushing this way too fast way too early. That was clear even before the disgusting fiasco with the monkey test subjects. Musk is ultimately with majority blame here because he is the one pushing it just like he did cyber truck, full self driving, etc. except this time literal life and death is at play more directly than the risk of one of his cars self-driving over a child.

This? https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/

yeah, that is about one person making this happen.

saying the guy can't kill himself doesn't exactly ethically green-light this kind of human experimentation, yeah his situation is hell but it'd be a whole lot worse with brain damage.

Fades , (edited )

The poor kids will lose everything because of course you can only host that kind of fucking trash on tik tok!! It's either on tik tok or not at all!!!

it's ridiculous how attached these children are to a chinese company lol. They just host the goddamn footage and provide an algo to feed that shit to you. THAT'S IT! TT ain't some special fuckin unicorn

but the kids are kids and they don't want to think about and understand that. Most on tiktok probably don't even know of or remember Vine or the other previous iterations of the same exact shit concept. But noooo, the CCP must be allowed to frame the narratives/algos and vacuum up all possible PII data!!!

now that aside, the VPN part you mention is indeed disturbing. Could you please provide the source / exact wording for this claim? I want to read more about it but can't find anything close to what you are suggesting

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/8038/text?s=3&r=1#toc-H2669E9E74E8A43039D7E92B5E8152F38

VPN or virtual private network are not mentioned anywhere

Fades ,

yes haha, I agree. It's not a consistent position which is really dumb.

I'm glad they revised it!! It's still good to call it out as I wasn't aware of that being in an old version!! Sneaky little bastards

Actually, so fucking many species of fish are disappearing from nature’s ecosystems, especially rivers and streams because of things like poisonous chemicals/pesticides.

The fish hobby is a way to preserve nature. Take it from Heiko Blehr, a German researcher, author, photographer, and filmmaker. He is best known in the scientific community for his contribution to the exploration of fresh and brackish water habitats worldwide. He literally wrote the textbooks for caring for many of the most famous and sensitive fish like discus and has traveled the world many times over and discovered thousands of new fish species.

Here is a great documentary on him and how he does it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3KccNiFIVQ

here is the time code for what I'm referring to: https://youtu.be/S3KccNiFIVQ?t=2554

This is the disaster, even in Costa Rica, I was with my dear friend who lived there all his life as a geologist, we found seven creeks, not one fish. All poisoned. Barbasco is the poison root natives use all over the world to kill all the fish. You have to beat the root in pieces and squeeze it and pour it into the river and the fish die, so they don't have to catch them. The fish float to the top.

I've found this problem all over the world. The native people don't have hooks or nets but they have poison.

and those aquarists who say you shouldn't take the fish out of nature, leave them in nature, they don't know what they're saying. This is really disappointing, because I cannot see one place on this planet so far where really nature is protected.

downvote me all you want, nature is dying and it is up to us to preserve these creatures and protect them from climate and ecosystem disaster. But nooo, leave the fish in nature so it can die to poison or a decaying ecosystem and get completely wiped out. One of the world's leading researches is totally just full of shit tho right?

Being an activist for something you don't understand can easily do more harm than good and spread false information.

Fades ,

Wrong year for that propaganda

Elon’s Twitter has no interest in canceling anyone for the “oppression of women”, whether it’s true or not

Fades ,

She physically cannot pull it off due to size

Fades ,

Who the fuck spells developed with two ‘p’s???

Fades ,

agree with everything

So you agree marriage is mutually exploitative and coercive to both parties? (Bottom left in OPs image) not the only questionable take in that image.

Fades ,

Bullshit, sanity is a more than just a label it’s a fucking concept. A concept that can be defined scientifically, outside of the context of our society.

Just because you don’t like the context doesn’t mean you can just pretend things don’t exist

Beginner looking for NAS advice (kbin.social)

I'm looking for advice on how to get started with a NAS, probably Synology since it's beginner friendly and often well recommended. I'm thinking of a 2 bay case with 2x4TB HDDs in RAID1 setup. What do I have to look out for in a device to get the best bang for my bucks?...

Fades ,

Docker works with a hell of a lot more than just Linux

Fades ,

+1 for QNAP, mine is great

Fades ,

It’s called perspective and personal opinion

Fades ,

I love that for him 🥰

Fades ,

She would keep the pay to play mentality though, as that’s how she got her start after all

Fades ,

Yes this makes far more sense then the brain dead “bought it to kill it” theory that’s just cope for phony stark

Fades ,

I absolutely love mine :)

Fades ,

That’s fucking bullshit wtf. This is exactly like bad gun reform that comes from someone who doesn’t know shit about the thing they are trying to reform

Fades ,

No we are able to aim, like at a strip of TP for example. No mess no cleanup
