  • Male loneliness generally refers to evaluating male relationships outside of their primary partner, or even one close friend. It’s about the dwindling state of larger support networks, and how many people in their network are emotional connections, compared to just activity connections. Example - if you lost your partner or your best friend, how many other men in your network would be there to help through the tough times? How many men would have no one else to turn to?

    But it’s a meme just get yourself a badass arm and don’t think about it too much.







  • We’ll have to agree to disagree. To go through your points, spell check I don’t find particularly impressive. That was solved previously without requiring the power demands of a small town. Grammer, maybe - but in my experience my “LLM powered” keyboard’s suggestions are still worse than old T9 input.

    I’ve had no luck troubleshooting anything with AI. It’s often trained on old data, tries to instruct you to change settings that don’t exist, or dreams up controls that might appear on “similar” hardware. Sure you can perhaps infer a solution, maybe, but it’s rarely correct at first response. It’ll happily run you through steps that are inconsequential to fixing a problem.

    Finally, it might be better than indexed search NOW - but mostly because LLMs wrecked that too. I used to be able to use a couple search operators and get directly to the information I needed - now search is reduced to shifting through slop SEO sites.

    And it does all this half assing while using enough power to justify dedicated nuclear reactors. I cant help but feel we’ve regressed on so many fronts.













  • Trained dev with a decade of professional experience, humans routinely fail to get me workable specs without hours of back and forth discussion. I’d say a solid 25% of my work week is spent understanding what the stakeholders are asking for and how to contort the requirements to fit into the system.

    If these humans can’t be explict enough with me, a living thinking human that understands my architecture better than any LLM, what chance does an LLM have at interpreting them?
