Lol. Everyone’s avoiding the USA because we see their hospitality in the news every day.

They’re not calling the people who have been committing genocide every day terrorists: they’re valuable allies. This is the UK Government’s morality. I hope it’s not shared by the British people.

- What is your source?
- What happens when the severity of accidents are taken into account? Because it could be this: Tesla Has the Highest Fatal Accident Rate of All Auto Brands, Study Finds
- Tesla’s self-driving features expose their cars to a distinctive kind of risk. It would be important to distinguish the accidents where this played a part.
- Regardless of the statistics, there are some other clear design problems with Tesla’s, such as batteries that explode in a crash and doors that won’t open without power (not to mention autopilot’s limited camera-only inputs and software glitches). These are still concerns specific to Tesla that other brands don’t share, so again it’s worth reviewing accidents where these played a role when gauging Tesla’s safety.
floofloof@lemmy.caOPto politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s All-Out Assault on Science Constitutes a “Mind-Boggling Own-Goal”17·4 days agoI see what you mean, but science is objectively beneficial to a country, no matter what they think. Another way to see your point is that defunding science is only an own goal if Trump means to serve the USA. If he means to serve other interests while enriching himself and keeping popular in the short term, then it’s going according to plan.
Now I’m the first person to agree that X is a Nazi site run by a Nazi, but it’s conspicuous how the prompts have been removed here. Without the prompts this doesn’t prove much.

And if the conversations were processed locally, wouldn’t someone notice the energy and cooling needs of the processor in the bulb, not to mention the presence of a load of memory?

And they’ll contrive situations just so they can do that. I’d say that makes their statistics meaningless without specific details and proof.

I find getting the LLM to either generate or rephrase documentation gives a distinctly worse result than doing it myself. I was in a hurry to document a new API from scratch recently and thought I’d try Copilot, but the results were overly verbose and sometimes inaccurate so I ended up rewriting all of it.
The LLM is best for boilerplate code that is easily predictable and verifiable. Beyond that it’s sometimes good for initial suggestions if you don’t know where to start with a tool, after which you can go to the actual documentation. But you’ll need to do that, because half the time the suggestions use nonexistent APIs and methods.
I have always thought that writing code is the easy part of being a developer. The hard parts are the parts management doesn’t appreciate: clarifying requirements, architecting new systems, translating business goals into something codable, letting egotistical know they’re not making sense without offending them, designing effective testing processes, persuading management to prioritize reducing technical debt, and integrating and maintaining existing systems. Maintenance is a huge part of the job that no one gives you credit for. Oh, and if you ever touch the front end, CSS.
Trump seems to use the same tactic.
