I’m lowkey impressed (in a negative way) if someone can establish an emotional relationship with an AI.

It’s hard enough to do it with an actual human where the other person does half of the work. AI only follows the instructions that you give it. Imagine having to do both sides of a relationship.

Zuck is so pathetic
“Plese let me into the cool kids clube, pleeaaaseee”

Good. Boredom is the key to learning. Well it should be interesting on it’s own, but take what you got.

Of course the manner of learning in most schools is not ideal, kids find it boring for a reason, but without distraction they might latch onto some bits of information just to survive the class.

Kind of. The act of driving itself is not pleasurable from me on it’s own, but I mentally connect it with road trips which I love.
And this is the only situation in which I drive. If I had to use a car every day, I’d despise driving completely.

Just for comedic value I’d like for God to actually exist. I imagine He wouldn’t appreciate their attempts at manipulation.

Sometimes this kind of people sounds like they believe in the Bible and prophecies as impersonal laws of nature, and not in an intelligent creator of any sort.

I wish Java was declared deprecated back in 2017 when Kotlin was adopted for Android and supported by Spring. It was the only sensible way forward for JVM. Sure with containerization there’s some debate for the necessity of JVM at all but its GC and runtime optimizations are nice.

I am a programmer but I’m not sure why people think Java is suited for anything, especially a system so sensitive to bugs. It’s so hard to write high quality readable code in Java. Everything is way more clunky, and verbose than it needs to be.

Some major improvements were made with versions 17+ but still, it feels like walking through mud.

It’s a language from the 1990s for the 1990s.

Btw the performance is actually pretty good in Java, the old reputation for slowness is entirely undeserved today.

Imagine the irony if Musk actually has a self-aware AI which hates him and sabotages him at every step

But how? The thing is utterly dumb. How do you even have a conversation without quitting in frustration from it’s obviously robotic answers?

But then there’s people who have romantic and sexual relationships with inanimate objects, so I guess nothing new.

Ok, no great loss. If they really want to keep hiring, nothing stops them from opening an office where the candidates are. They are multinational companies after all.

If I may ask what made you decide you have to change something? I’m in a position where I only started drinking heavily in my mid 30s, this doesn’t lead anywhere good and I’d like to stop. What’s the way out?

I have to buy a home 🙂 Already making plans how to renovate it, but I’m not even close to actually buying it.
I’m in an awkward position of having enough savings for a downpayment, but being too afraid to enter a 30 year mortgage.

I don’t understand the resistance to changing platforms that many people and especially companies show.
For example the company I work for refuses to consider anything except Xitter. Casually talking with the people running social media, I concluded they think about platforms as a fixed fact of nature, rather than something flexible that you can experiment with.

There’s basically a minimal cost to having a multi-platform presence. Copy/paste your posts to 3 places, there are even tools to automate it.

Nice. Also, I’d like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.

lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later

I forgot Skype still exists. They killed it a long time ago, now they will just make it official

lol somebody wrote a whole analysis why

The author is very likely female and Chinese.

a simple click on the author’s profile shows he’s a French man

Interesting observations. The behavior on dating apps is prime stuff for sociological research. I wonder what even more data from really big apps could reveal.
The author doesn’t seem to question the current role of dating in society and takes it as a given, but that’s fine observing phenomena from within the system is not invalid.

This is very common in the EU. The majority of news sites do it. I believe it’s technically legal because they aren’t under obligation to provide a free access at all
