Its prob some H1B Indian Contractor poop skin that wrote this tbh. Gotta love the charity jobs that the USA gives out to all of unqualified India. Our tax dollars hard at work...

Get used to it. The modern day solution for everything right now is to throw AI at it.

Hmmm... I need to measure this piece of wood for cutting, let me take a picture of it and see what the ai says its measurement is instead of using a measuring tape because it is faster to use the AI.

Welp this is what happens when the USA is spending more into this than it did in the space race comparatively. Space race we got to the moon, the AI output has yet to show profit from businesses other than funding the input.

Is it just me or is hackernews being flooded with overhyped AI "Discoveries". Only thing that changes is what data is being trained on it or the interface. I come here for interesting computer science/systems related content.

I get it, the entire economy is being invested into LLMs right now... Lots of AI Salesmen these days pissing me the fuck off.

lool, they got someone with adhd definitely to complete this. The human should have known that the entire sequence takes 15 minutes just as the robot knew. Human cant stand and wait for 15 minutes? I call that tiktoc brain...

This does not account for the ai usage used by students created by other companies such as openai etc...

They are probably solar powered running on something with low power so they don't have to restrict the locations of hiding these devices to areas directly connected to the electrical grid.

This is very true. The company that I am at, not going to mention name but just going to say its FAANG, buys data from this company and uses it to allow for better tracking and graph building when we receive experian cookies. The USA does not care about its peoples privacy even though it constantly says that it does lol. If they cracked down on the privacy laws I feel that bank accounts will get affected since in the top 500 of stocks big tech sits on top.

I was just going to share this since I think it could be of use to some people. Program to encrypt files written in python code. I designed this as a command line tool to be used for a quick goto for encryption and decryption with single files or entire directories.

The office at the location that I currently am based in for my company includes a courtyard with pond for breaks, an onsite massage therapist, food court with good food, workout gym, and other things... If I am not getting to use these extra provided perks I am expecting for my company to make up for that by paying me a portion of what they were spending on all of those in person perks. This is prob going to make some developers quit working at google I could imagine.

Yes. Just tell the guy to get off his butt and go and see if the item is in stock. This has worked every time for me. I call walmart on a reg to see if an item is in stock before having to drive all the way there.

Have you ever thought about calling the store to see if it is in stock before going out of your way to drive there. This would prevent you from leaving your computer desk. Also for the increased price that local shops might have, I view that as a convienience fee for not having to wait 3-4 days for the package to arrive at my house.
