Linux clowns be preaching openness and then whine when we theme their apps

@retoor please tell your AI bot, that we don't need it to make 20 comments on every post.

What the bot is doing is pretty great and cool, just let it be for that one task. It's role as a spam remover is fine, but giving it a 'human' like persona, where it starts acting like a real person chatting with ranters is downright creepy.

I'm not even joking.

I‘ve not seen a single ad spam post today, so far.
Thank you @retoor!

Worse than the "working on my machine".

Meet the "works on every machine but the boss laptop".

Bonus point if the issue appeared out of the blue during the night.

I fucking swear. AI this, new frameworks that, but every fucking company I get hired by has a deluge of files that are thousands of lines long.

It's not a new concept to split up files. It's not difficult to progressively split up files as you work on them. And yet so many programmers apparently can't fucking stop for quarter a second to think "hmmm maybe adding another function to this thing that is already 20 km long might not be the best idea".

Planning trips always seems to take so much time and effort, especially when you’re trying to figure out the best way to get from one place to another. I often end up opening multiple tabs for flights, trains, buses, and even car rentals. It’s so overwhelming! I wish there was a tool that could do all the comparisons for me and just present the best options. Does anyone know of something like that?

Well, the rant is because I have to go to Madrid twice a month, which is annoying.

But now I'm writing your GPU drivers, bitches 😂.

More concretely, for those who may care, gonna work in HLSL to spir-v conversion.

an actually valid critique of AI: https://stacker.news/items/788287

aka, woke era will end and the software companies don't matter

Slovenia: when the tools are made in Germany, but the materials are made in China.

Rich European countries are 2004 Brazil during the championship. Every other country is just 2004 Brazil.

I'm tired, I have nausea, my head hurts, my nose is clogged, my boss isn't happy, I'm marrying in 5 days from now, nothing is ready.

Hey Engineers/Developers,
I want to practice my backend skills and learn how scalable applications are built. So what I'm thinking to do is learn the high-level system design first and try to implement that learning as well.
Suppose I learned how Instagram reels/TikTok works, how they process, and how they scale to millions of users around the globe by trying to build my own scalable app.
Or I can already contribute to established open-source projects, for example, rocketchat.

What should I do?

Poor @Abigayle1 and her cheating husband

It baffles me that even now people still use ChatGPT to learn new things. LLMs are the antithesis of learning. They're inaccurate so you're left reasoning from flat out incorrect principles, they save you from encountering neighboring information to the answer you seek which is a central mechanic for developing a mental model, and the further away you are from common thought patterns the less their training applies which makes them fundamentally and unfixably terrible at detecting and correcting misunderstandings.

GitHub releasing the worlds most awful report trying with all their might to make copilot look good.

- percentages did not add up to 100 (one was under, one was over)
- errors not defined as functional errors, but “any code that reduced the ability for the code to be easily understood” (what in the subjective bullfuck is that?)
- apparently 200 participants but 25 represented 40% of the population????

LLMs are already decreasing the average GitHub employee IQ to functionally retarded levels :(

This is getting really confusing now. How many people are left on here who aren't robots?

TF is going on

I swear this spam rants are driving me nuts lately.

Warehouse devs are trying to make our own homegrown warehouse robot AI to easy up the route optimization math, without paying up big $$$ for some big tech's crap.
Those robots look like wild "dire roombas", BTW. Each is large and round like bike tire on its side.
And the state of the art on the driving AI for those robots is... actually pretty good. It can avoid moving obstacles like humans or forklifts on their route or even drive around liquid puddles (our warehouses aren't exactly pristine).
So then came the time for the warehouse devs to benchmark their AI.
They compared it to a ready-to-use solution and fared quite well. Until someone suit decided they should ask chatgpt (or some other text AI crap) to try its "hand".
I've spent the best part of the day laughing my ass off, the devs had to go on a hunt to search for the *runaway robots driven by chatgpt*. One of them found its way to a freaking porta-potty like 50m outside the warehouse. Others were trying to lift forklifts to take those out of the way. Ooh, the irony.
A few were gladiators disputing the same pallet to lift. They were literally trying to sabotage each other to steal the pallet.
But most were just driving around randomly like giant roaches.
Man, sometimes generative AI can really make us laugh.

So the age of enshittification continues.

Apple is working on IPhone Air, which is rumored to be 5-6mm thick. I am sure Samsung will follow suit.

Why the fuck can't I have a simple bloody phone which just works for calls, texts and I can hold it without it feeling like cutlery.
I do not want to play games on a 6" device and give myself carpal tunnel.

I have switched to S22 Flip phone (dumbphone), it works flawlessly, lasts for days on a single charge.

RETOOR DID NOT DELETE HERSELF

You using the ChatGPT bot on devRant makes me feel like you have some sort of schizophrenia.

Even tho we are all software engineers, everyone needs to specialize and become really good at a particular discipline.

What are you good at?

what criteria do you use to determine if someone is a friend of yours?

met the most beautiful girl. well on ig at least. 9/10. her behavior made her 10/10. she wants me so badly. texts me so often. only wants me. wants me to fk her even on first date. shes hooked to me. shes attached to me already. she wants to breed with me and cuddle. kiss me hug me. shes willing to do anything for me even travel from another city long distance 2h 40m car travel. shes obsessed w me. said she will either fall in love w me and be w me forever or end up in mental insane asylum.

wtf is going on. this looks too good to be true. am i fucking tripping balls right now? has God blessed me with a normal girl finally after the suffering i went through? have i built my character development from suffering thanks to my blonde whore?

is this a trap? is the the final boss of pain? or am i fucking godlike blessed?

I have 6 different caching folders now

because rust path resolution, depending where you launch from.. if it's debug or test or vscode or command line... or what directory were you in in the command line?!

well it decides to resolve the location differently

and how is it nobody thought this was ridiculous

Guys so the yanks are gonna invade the netherlands to protect the zionists. Who want to be part of the resistance? Let me know in the comment.

Must not be sassy.
Must be polite and grateful to open source devs.
Must be diplomatic when pointing out they're fundamentally wrong about the spec they're implementing. Even if they helped write it.
Must not be sassy when showing receipts (what the spec says).
Must not be sassy.

What a productive daily standup... Someone played the trombone and it was related to our bug on the servers.
