My lukewarm take is that all this hate on AI is really just hating on big companies trying to squeeze money out of some new development. AI (or rather LLMs) are not the problem.

We do this in Ruby all the time, we just prefer methods over variables, usually.

def authorized?
  current_user&.authorized?

Might be an unpopular take but… maybe being good at high school math tests is not really such an important gift in the real world.

I doubt anyone in the us has any idea who she is. Especially Trump followers

They will never make another thoughtful, dialog heavy, diplomacy and reason focused Star Trek series. The mass audience won’t go to see it if there aren’t lots of explosions and personal drama and that’s the audience they want.

Or business decides all specs and design decisions that were made last quarter were actually garbage and yes we do want to be able to manually override every step of the carefully designed state machine. We’d like to be able to manually change all calculated sales data, but also the data needs to remain in a consistent state at all times. Oh and while you’re there, we decided the commission calculations will use a different system from now on. We expect it to be online by the end of the week, thanks.

Obvious AI clickbait is obvious “truth sayer”

Did anyone day it is?

I’m a cop you idiot

I like to hate on the rich as much as anyone but this feels like it was a simple misunderstanding. It’s not like he’s going to intentionally try to dodge paying taxes (peanuts for him) on a watch he was gifted and planned to sell at a charity auction.

Haha ok touche

To be fair that’s an easier mistake to make than confusing Mars and the frickin Sun

“My life is at risk if I can’t spin this as a considerable win for Russia”

Behave like a civilized nation. Not collectively punishing an entire population for the actions of some. It’s incredible to have to explain that.

This is not good vs evil. This is evil vs evil. Fighting fire with fire is ridiculously stupid.

Obviously Israel can’t just exterminate the whole population. The world wouldn’t accept that. But making the region unliveable is a different story. They’ve been working on that for decades and this is the culmination of that plan.

If they were just hunting for"terrorists" they wouldn’t have to level entire blocks. Drive entire cities out of their homes.

I realize none of this will connect because Israel’s defenders will argue that for it’s security there’s no line it can’t cross. But for those of us on the sidelines the goal us pretty damn obvious. From “voluntary migration” to there’s “no such thing as a Palestinian people” (quotes from serving ministers) it’s pretty damning stuff.

Great, why don’t we hurry the whole WW3 thing along and start bombing our allies too?

Those babies in the hospitals didn’t vote for anyone. Besides, a war crime is a war crime even if the target “deserved” it.

A whole population doesn’t deserve to be punished for the crimes of some of them. It’s the kind of barbaric evil practised by dictators.

Haven’t seen it myself but because Lemmy has a relatively small user base it’s fairly easy to just flood it with content and have a significant portion show up on the front page. If you’re seeing a sudden influx of a specific type of meme, my guess is that’s just someone sending a lot of the same kind of content ar once.

I can’t imagine what kind of rail system would come close to the capacity we’d need for it to make a significant dent in sea transport. Nothing beats a cargo ship for sheer capacity and efficiency (at the cost of speed of course)

But I’d be happy to stand corrected.

Their intent is only to target Israel bound shipping. A direct result of Israel’s destroying of civilian population centers. And our unconditional support for that is dragging us into another endless conflict.
