Says the tankie. How rich.

But what do you do with them after you’ve seized them? Do you still have a purpose in life? 🤭

At the end of the day, it’s a bit like a good editor setup. Sure, your crazy neovim skills might save you a minute or two here and there. But I’ve met excellent programmers that can code in anything, and be just as efficient as the Neovim nerds.

Programming is not just about writing code, you spend a lot of time thinking about it, which is a huge part of the work.

Oh sweet irony… I remember butting heads with techbros on this very platform about their misguided intuition that people criticizing LLMs were going to be left out (assuming I or others had never tried them).

Yeah, I write enough bugs on my own, I’ll pass on the 41% more, thank you very much.

Sure, I know this study needs to be replicated and should not be considered to be a holy truth… But the issues with the tech do pile up, and they’re not just ethical concerns about resource usage. There’s a new study like this one every week.

Yeah, you might not be applying to the same jobs a random stranger on the Internet is applying to. Fair assumption.

Now that this is out of the way, I do also have a family to feed, and am employed. I’ve never not had a job since I left school (and before that, too). But the job searching experience is unnecessarily soul-crushing, because some people in the recruitement chain aren’t displaying the level of professionalism they expect new hires to show. These people are scum, and I’ve had more luck recently sidestepping them outright (they were pissed, and I don’t care). I landed my current gig because I knew someone that helped me bypass all the bullshit, and talk to the real adults in the room directly.

HR drones are really demanding, and it’s fair to be demanding in return. They don’t get to treat people like shit and get respect just because some people are desperate.

I’m not telling you what to believe or how to behave. You’re entitled to your opinion.

Exactly what I was about to reply. Try copying a crazy multi-column Word document into text, and you’ll get similar results.

Copy-pasting parts of your PDF document is not any more difficult than doing the same thing for a Word document.

We don’t care, it’s their job. I get that they’re busy, but it’s their problem, not mine. No excuses for these scumbags.

You can extract text from PDFs without using OCR, they aren’t all images embedded in a file.

I’m sure you’ve opened PDF documents before and selected text in it, or searched for something. That works because the text is embedded in the document, I’m sure.

You can also create PDF documents with the text converted as images, but those are usually larger in size.

And you need to drink a Moutain Dew confirmation can.

It is red, so it adds up 😆

It doesn’t have the position, but it has the color 🤣

Oh, a real life tankie died.

Beware, Nazbear dickheads. This is what your buddy Putin’s Russia does to foreign war crime apologists like you.

That’s what I assumed as an European. Fellow yuropoors, do you think of the united statsian state first when you hear about Georgia?

You’re not even making sense anymore 🤣

Yeah, because only the democrats spread rhetoric that the other party is a boogeyman . The alt-right never said the libs want to turn you kids gay and/or trans.

Also, who says Harris is a communist, dumbass?

My man, please watch the news. You’re so full of shit it’s actually hilarious.

I’d also add that, depending on the language, the ways you can shoot yourself in the foot are very subtle (cf C++/C, which are popular languages for “secure” stuff).

It’s already hard to not write buggy code, but I don’t think you will detect them by just reviewing LLM code, because detecting issues during code review is much harder than when you’re writing code.

Oh, and I assume it’ll be tough to get an LLM to follow MISRA conventions.

What if I told you that we can do all these things at once, and don’t have to pick just one. Mindblowing!

Regarding the alternatives to fossil fuels, they still aren’t free as far as emissions go. It’s still better to not need a new source of power if you can, because they require minerals, fossil fuels, etc. to build.

Also, an insane strain on the power grid makes the transition to greener sources of electricity more difficult because there’s a bigger demand to satisfy. That delays the transition.

If you don’t like how “this website” talks about your garbage tech, maybe you can fuck off back to Reddit with the rest of the douchebags who still believe crypto has a future?

Oh sorry, I thought you were mocking the person you replied to because they were trying to redefine truth somehow.

Whataboutism at its finest 👌

The difference with other things causing climate change is that some of these other things are actually useful and work, which is not the case with ShitGPT.

And you can be mad at both simultaneously. You don’t have to decry LLMs only.

No, because the carbon footprint is ridiculously high.
