That guy is great. But nothing beats his JS developer interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo3cL4nrGOk

why they would want to pass trauma onto me

It’s not like it’s intentional, usually. Everyone has a different way of coping with trauma and sadly, one of the brain’s most usual defenses is repeating the same behaviour, because that makes what happened normal - if I do it too, how could it be something bad?

People who do that need a therapy to stop repeating the abusive behaviour, but as with alcoholism, the first step is to admit you have been abused. You would be surprised how many people don’t get past the first step. And that’s how abusive behaviour in people who are not necessarily psychopaths occurs.

As an aside, being a psychopath (not a sociopath, that term doesn’t exist in psychology) is also a defense mechanism, although one on the extreme side of things and it’s generally incurable past a certain age.

Good luck! I did the same recently. I wrote my own blog system, though. I can share it with you, but I’m not sure it’s the best for anyone else, there were some shortcuts taken given I did not intend to share it.

You can check out my blog and let me know whether you want to try it: https://chrastecky.dev/ (or federated: !programming@chrastecky.dev, !3d-printing@chrastecky.dev, !gaming@chrastecky.dev).

You can never truly confirm any scientific theory

All of physics would like a word.

It’s just an algorithm, all it takes is someone deciding they want to do it.

It’s equally easy to do on federated social media, it’s just that no one found the incentive (yet?).

Well, that you think about it easily places you in a different group then the average joes. Most people don’t think about anything that’s not relevant to their survival.

We haven’t really evolved that much in the last few millennia where our civilization started, millennia is a really small scale for evolution.

And for people like that (the majority), social media are a bane, because they abuse what we know about human mind to be es engageable as possible, even if it’s not beneficial to the human.

Social media as a concept is not the problem, the execution is.

Most people simply don’t care about abstract issues like social media and similar.

Well, if you’re into that, I’m not one to kinkshame.

It’s also great if you have a general knowledge of something but don’t know the details. Like today I needed to do some database introspection using queries in Snowflake, I knew exactly what I needed but not where the database schema is located etc., so I let GPT write the query instead.

Or some time ago I needed to get all instances of classes implementing a specific generic interface in .NET, the code eventually dabbled into the very specifics of the runtime, it would’ve taken me much longer to find out with documentation.

All in all, it’s my opinion that AI is great if two conditions are met:

• you know exactly what you want to do and you can specify it to very tiny details
• you have the knowledge to verify whether the result makes sense without running the code (or at least the knowledge that it can’t break your app or computer)

Ah, thanks I wasn’t aware of the book, nor of that particular detail of murder.

Stupid term people use for “writing” code without the knowledge of programming by using AI.

Kinda the next level of running random code from the internet without understanding what it does.

I’m probably out of the loop, what’s the significance of the words starting with D?

You think being brave is not being afraid? In this case, not being afraid means you’re dumb, not brave.

Okay, I can be your linker, now we only need a parser.

Of course you do, it’s great for your back! And if you don’t use it, it will be good for your back even in ten years!

And by learning nano you’ll run circles around everyone who struggles to remember how to fuck exit vi/m.

There are dozens of us!

Pff, real programmers use butterflies. We open our hands and let the delicate wings flap once. The disturbance ripples outward, changing the flow of the eddy currents in the upper atmosphere. These cause momentary pockets of higher-pressure air to form, which acts as lenses that deflect incoming cosmic rays, focusing them to strike the drive platter and flip the desired bit.

It’s a cluster of workers where everyone can generate images/text using workers connected to the service.

So if you ran a worker, people could generate stuff using your PC. For that you would gain kudos, which in turn you can use to generate stuff on other people’s computers.

Basically you do two things: help common people without access to powerful machines and use your capacity when you have time to use the kudos whenever you want, even on the road where you can’t turn on your PC if you fancy so.

Try running an AI Horde worker, it’s a really great service!
