Well, mods could remove the downvote button if it’s not supposed to be used.

AI powered spreadsheets are going to be the next big technology for programmers :D

Yeah that’s what I was just thinking. Once we somehow synthesize this LLM into a new type of programming language it gets interesting. Maybe a more natural language that gets the gist of what you are trying to do. And then a unit test to see if it works. And then you verify. Not sure if that can work.

TBH I’m a bit shocked that programmers are already using AI to generate programming, I only program as a hobby any more. But it sounds interesting. If I can get more of my ideas done with less work I’d love it.

I think fundamentally, philosophically there are limits. Ultimately you need language to describe what you want to do. You need to understand the problem the “customer” has and formulate a solution and then break it down into solvable steps. AI could help with that but fundamentally it’s a question of describing and the limits of language.

Or maybe we’ll see brain interfaces that can capture some of the subtleties of intend from the programmer.

So maybe we’ll see the productivity of programmers rise by like 500% or something. But something tellse me (Jevons paradox) the economy would just use that increased productivity for more apps or more features. But maybe the needed qualifications for programmers will be reduced.

Or maybe we’ll see AI generating programming libraries and development suits that are more generalized libraries. Or like existing crusty libraries rewritten to be more versatile and easier to use by AI powered programmers. Maybe AI could help us create a vast library of more abstract / standard problem+solutions.

But those aren’t stupid questions, they are questions very smartly crafted to imply a certain answer or legitimize a problem. Then they are not stupid, but smart. And often evil.

Well if you put it like that :D

I’m not sure you’re right now. Fight fire with water, but what if you only have a teacup full of water? Meaning there could be an immense potential of energy on one side, and a small on the other. On one side you have money for careers and whatnot, on the other you have… nerds who believe lovescience conquers all :D

Isn’t this just fraud and should be prosecuted?

Well then listen to the interview with the actual lawyer I linked

The court determined that there is risk of genocide, so the world community MUST act. Instead they cut of funding for humanitarian aid, which is in direct contravention of international law.

139. The international community, through the United Nations, also has the responsibility to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means, in accordance with Chapters VI and VIII of the Charter, to help protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. In this context, we are prepared to take collective action, in a timely and decisive manner …

The ICJ said no such thing. The preliminary order requires Israel to make sure that aid is getting to Gazans.

What’s Next After The ICJ Ruling? | Diana Buttu | TMR

This is very nice. In the meantime the German government cut funding for the UN humanitarian aid organization, with the predictable outcome that many thousands of civilizations are going to starve or thirst to death or die from diseases. Because Israel said so after the ICJ ruling.

This in contravention of the ICJ ruling that ordered to stop Genocide. Which is binding for all countries to take steps to prevent genocide. German press isn’t really reporting on what that means.

Which means the current “social democratic / green / liberal” coalition is potentially aiding in a genocide.

Fuck the AfD fascists but you know… fuuuuuuuuuuuck

In my country the majority of press is downplaying the situation. The report the facts somewhere in an article, but the headlines and tenor when you start reading make is sound different from what it is. “Israel defends itself” and always “To stop the Hamas terrorists”.

Not sure how it is in the US.

Try turning it off and on again

So then what makes vim special? From what I understand it’s just a “standard” for shortcuts to features that can be shared between different editors, right?

It was clear that this is how it’s going to go, Israel planned this. The deliberatley destroyed all the infrastructure and sealed them in. I knew the body count would rise to possibly a million. It is a genocide.

Presumably Israel hopes to push the Palestinians out to Egypt or other countries. That is Israel’s “Final Solution”.

My european country supports this genocide by backing Israel. I feel deeply ashamed.

There goes my retirement lol. Another massive wealth transfer to the super rich. It will all go to weapons, will go to banks when the Ukrainians have to pay it back, will go to big corporations when much of Ukraine becomes privatized. More austerity and more inflation for us.

Basically Crimea is the most expensive real estate debacle ever that lead to the biggest wealth transfer. I think they call it disaster capitalism. Never waste a good crisis.

Collar-bone fracture is I believe incredibly painful and long lasting injury. Glad those fuckers face justice.

Where is that? USA?

Yeah fuck Russia. But a diplomatic end to the war now.

Technically you are right, but I heard your dog whistle. I should have said that it is fascist: Russia, because of their inherent russianess are evil scum and should be banned forever from competing at the olympics which is mean to bring different people together peacefully.

Because we are the good guys who would never cheat or meddle in foreign elections or invade other countries because they threaten our supremacy.

It’s the exact same mechanism as racism, a fascist believe in the superiority of us against an inherently evil other.

Yes because we are lacking the words with proper impact. But it’s the same kind of hatred based on otherness. The same fascist mechanism based on an mythological identity and believe in inequality. All Russians are and should be banned. We are the good ones. The way the left / progressive / liberals latched on to the warmongering over the war in Ukraine was shocking, instead of discussing (amoral) geopolitical motivations for this conflict and seeking diplomatic compromises it was just described as some good vs evil bullshit. And the fucking “leftist racists” are eating it up. Right here on lemmy. Ban Russia forever lol. I don’t care if Russian is technically not an ethnicity, Slavic people are.

But I’ve given up arguing as well and just made a little shitpost.
