people look at this stuff as a yes or no and that’s a major misunderstanding.

I work in tech, and I can tell you 100% you could not just give a job to AI and call it a day.

I cannot even imagine this type of response generation ever being capable of that without developing some sort of true intelligence if for no other reason than to turn bad prompts by people who do not understand what they want or what is possible into functional projects.

that said, but I do believe is possible is that it makes like 5 to 10% of the job a little bit faster. programming is like 10 to 20% writing code and 80 to 90% understanding what that code should be and why it isn’t working that way yet.

Even the code you get from it is generally wrong but sometimes useful.

best case scenario I could see right now is not that it replaces jobs but that it makes people more effective, kind of like giving a framer a nail gun instead of a box of nails and a hammer except not that big of an efficiency gain.

ultimately this might mean you do the job with 8 people instead of 10, or something like that.

if it reduced the total number of jobs because it was a tool that made people more effective - did it take the job away?

you just blew my mind lol

asparagus is green WTF is going on here

yeah this will work but you basically have to create a fire around the tank while keeping it pressurized right? you have to bring the whole tank to the point where it overwhelms the relief valve.

maybe if it was more full?

the tank didn’t even move when I saw it, just a little flame about 4 inches long for a couple mins.

was super anticlimactic

so I actually had a friend years back who worked at a junkyard.

I was hanging out there with him one time (definitely probably not smoking anything…) and he was still clearing things out.

so he grabs a propane tank and brings it up to where he has an oxyacetylin torch, lights the torch and starts cutting into the tank.

I about shit my pants and took off at least 50 ft back behind a car asking if he was trying to die today.

apparently I was the one that didn’t know what I was talking about though because of a second later he cut through and it just popped a little flame.

he just let that flame burn until it was out and that’s how he knew the tank was empty.

apparently these things are very hard to blow up.

I love some of the dangerous upgrade commands too, my favorite:

hdparm --fwdownload-mode7 firmwarefile.bin –yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing --please-destroy-my-drive /dev/sdb

okay but if you only fight along a line it seems like this’ll be quick

I love memory foam but yeah I have the same problem, I get quite a bit more longevity by regularly rotating, but with the way these things are built you can only rotate and not flip.

this is freaking beautiful, it’s the shit post version of cocaine.

I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard at a video in years.

holy shit that is perfect lol

I definitely spent a frustrated 45 minutes trying to figure out why curl wasn’t working when it was supposed to be supported in PowerShell.

then I hit tab a couple of times and noticed curl.exe was an option, that works exactly the same as I had expected with original syntax.

they do this to a lot of things though a lot of common commands end up being an alias to a powershell command with a specific option set that doesn’t always line up

oh great I’m sure the training for this will not result in a bunch of things getting “reviewed” and no one being responsible for mistakes at all…

by the sound of it me too hahaha. idk why you wanna claim bud for guys but you have a good one ma’am

lol you don’t have to out yourself like that bud, I’m sure you’ll get past the shallow stage of a relationship eventually.

yeah Christmas shoes lol

exactly lol, not too bad after you learn a few things.

also vim adventures is a fun way to learn!

lol I shared this one just yesterday, one of my favorites

been playing West of loathing and shadows over loathing lately. Fun and stupid, nice to be able to play them on deck
