talk about "her videos are so goood": https://youtu.be/-4s23sNq6mM/...

and well researched and enlightening and stuff

bruhh no wonder the D&D crowd is so annoying. so much brainwashing smh

I don’t know if someone made this joke already (most probably yes), but…

The opposite of increment isn’t decrement. It’s excrement.

geez

I wondered if there's like a "best of AI" subreddit or something. some actual genuine fun, memes around AI and what people do with it. but there isn't. best I found is an AI forum but it's everyone complaining about if their jobs will be taken away from them or not

dead tech, 100% man. nobody is actually excited about this or making use of it. I think everyone just hates it

... earlier heard a dude say AI gets 10% of things wrong, and when it gets it wrong it's like a drunk teenager eating lead. I think 10% is a serious underestimation... the guy claims he doesn't let his AI make actual decisions/responses/reactions/control anything at his company... but he's using it to tell him its judgements on data in his system. if the AI can't be trusted to reply, why are you trusting it to understand without verifying it yourself? he thinks he's being so clever with that... but it just never occurred to him it could be making errors in its perceptions. if it's soooo badly dangerous that it often deletes whole systems when given access there is absolutely no reason to think it doesn't "seriously misjudge" the data it looks at to begin with... it SERIOUSLY MISJUDGING the data it's looking at is probably how it's ending up deleting various systems? this guy just doesn't think to check. I guess perceptions are considered cheap but they're the most expensive thing there is -- because EVERYTHING is downstream from perceptions. OODA loop. my god. and this guy thinks he's an AI skeptic...

we're all just folly to our human laziness I suppose

I was reading FreeRTOS documentation today and was reminded of ostream.
"Tasks are normally implemented as an infinite loop; the function which implements the task must never attempt to return or exit. Tasks can, however, delete themselves."

do you believe in earning things or do you use some other strategy in life?

Roko`s balsalisk. Now you`re doomed. You should not have read it. There is no hiding from it now. You`re welcome.

is there something you regretted not having asked, or could've made your life better had you tried to ask it? what about something now you could ask that could make your life better, or fun, or interesting, etc, whatever?

@SoldierOfCode is very busy in Lebanon. I have a very good friend there. Keep her whole svp.

does your ability to do math come and wane and if so, how?

I wonder if I should start looking for new work. I've only been at the current shop for 8 months, I could potentially get them to pay for part of my MBA (although I'd have to stay at the company for a year after reimbursement) and there might be management positions I can apply for once our current massive project goes live.

Still, I hate working with .NET, the AI stuff is making all our software worse, and it's still going to be difficult to get even close to my former pay level with local jobs in this town.

I'm just tired. I actually miss the company I got laid off from, but I'd also never go back there.

DevRant is slowly becoming jestdotty's diary

how does one become a polished gem if they won't take the first scuff

It's a beautiful day. New glasses. New drugs for cheap. Had gluhwein for breakfast. Cycled 12km while drinking beer. Made 200, - today. I live for days like this.

Of all the things that could break next on devRant, I didn’t expect it will be the user avatars

Snek gives a 500. Don't know what it is but I'm nipping beer at beach. In a hour or so I'm home and will fix it. Very interesting, a 500 did not happen before I think.

Her videos are so good: https://youtu.be/4s8sG9SCUhM/.... How does she does that research? It's wow. Sadly, she found out that drama sells.

It's summer again. Bye bye internet for retoor. I have three internet connections, all failing. The park ain't even open yet. Tomorrow it is. But the internet is already failing. Failing on two 4g connections and a fiber one over wireless. I can't recieve 5g here. Only option left is starlink but I don't need expensive power internet. I just want to be online full time with 20mb/s. That's all I ask. Especially now I do development mainly trough AI, it's very important. I'm switching connections all the time. It does actually does help somehow. Poor retoor.

I was just watching a youtube showing of that he was the only one having the perfect score on a TV show. It is a test, on how good your memory is. He was wrong. My mother did have the best score too on that very same TV program. It is very interesting. My mother is more known as an empathic person more than being a smart person. But she loves media. Had her own radio show for many years and was countless times on TV. It was so important for her making her capable of winning that show. Its interesting what motivation can do with people. My stepsis is unable to calculate anything but when she plays a game, she is unbeatable while it requires that skill. I never won a game from her.

Ive spent 18 cents for 4500+ requests: https://rsearch.app.molodetz.nl/sta...

Fun fact, the bots using this API barely make mistakes making this the most cost effective system. Even Grok says sso after analysis of this infomation plus bots own stats.

Sick sick sick. Check also the tokens per second...

We were told that one of our frontend guys is no longer with the company. There was no notice period. Our manager couldn't really say anything for privacy reasons. I sent him a text but haven't heard back. We don't know if he rage-quit or was fired. Makes me really uneasy.

(youRant)
Blyat. Actually finishing with the notifications themselves wasn't really that hard, there was less work than I thought. But instead what was hard, is god damn doing background shit in Android.
Fucking spent the entire day today (well, not wntire but something like 6h) trying ,any different ways to make the app "poll" in the background, checking the RSS for mentions, and after trying so many, fucking none of them work.
Also fuck the android docs so much. I fucking hate this platform(Android, nor dR).
So I guess no notifications in the background for now, only when in the app.
I'll do the "correct" thing and do the stupid Firebase thing, that will be for a future version tho. Ugggh, I could've been done by now if not for this stupid shit.

Added profile pictures finally since that was a thing that's bothering me, it makes such a huge difference.
Before and after because it won't let me add links in the post for some reason?....

Ignore this, need to test notification mentions for youRant.

youRant alpha 0.2 - The Notification Update!

https://github.com/yuriKhordal/...

Managed to finish this update JUST in time, literally going away for the deployment tomorrow.

First of all, Yay, with the addition of notifications, it's first **actual** alpha release (until now I considered releases as MVP.

New Features and Changes:
+ Added Caching. Rants and Images are now cached for a certain amount of time speeding up re-opening rants, not needing to load them again.
+ Added automatic retries for the dreaded Slim Application Error! GET requests will now retry up to 5 times before giving up. The error message in the app now also actually says it's a Slim Application Error instead of the previous unclear "Value <html><head><meta..." error.
+ Added devRant avatars in posts and comments, replacing the previous flat-coloured dots, now only actual dots are dots. :P Also replaced the ugly red dot that shows you are logged in with your actual avatar.
+ Added Notifications for mentions, using the RSS feed provided by retoor. They are currently limited, and do not work in the background for some reason. Regardless, when you open the app you will get notifications of all mentions since the last time notifications worked.
+ Added a limited profile page you can open by clicking the username row in a rant or comment. Currently only dispplays user info, but not actual content(rants, comments, upvotes, favories).

Bug Fixes:
* There was a function in a helper class that was accidentally using a feature of a high API level. It was rewritten.

AI is so good. In 6-12 months no humans will have to do anything anymore. Some of you might still fuck their wives by themselves. Luckily for you, I left in the comments a way to never bother anymore with that. You HAVE to use it, otherwise you’re gonna be left behind.

🚀🧨✨💫🧠📚🙇🤖

ever been scared to read a book?

relatedly, has a book triggered you?

Stay tuned (Hopefully, very hopefully) for a youRant update tomorrow(/today, depends on TZ), or the day after that. I'm trying to Blitz through finishing the features I've started trying to implement because I'm (potentially) getting deployed again in a few days and I have no clue if there's gonna be internet there, so I'm trying to release the update before then while trying to find time to code between a million other things (apologies).

At minimum you can expect Notifications about mentions(Which is mainly what've I've been doing lately on the "hour here hour there" I have), and not seeing the "Slim Application Error" anymore when browsing rants. Which embarrasingly has already been implemented in the development version for at least a month or two already, and I just didn't have the time to work on the other parts of the update.

This could've been finished 2 months ago if I didn't keep getting distracted and having to split my attention between a million things.

Would be a shame if I don't manage to finish in time :/
