If you saw a video of a person doing something cool, and later found out it was AI generated, would you still be impressed?
Of course, it's not exactly the same situation, but if I listen to a song and appreciate that the vocalist sounds cool and they're doing some technically difficult things, I am definitely less impressed to find out it's a computer program. And it also means I can't find other songs with that vocalist's same artistic sense because they don't have one, they're a computer program who can sound like anything.
Anki flashcards, stretching (particularly focused on a previously injured bad hip), observing people/reading body language, observing birds/trees/plants/the sky practicing emptying my mind/breathing exercises, doodling, journaling.
(But also admittedly way too often: pulling out my phone and looking at social media.)
Because deficits in social functioning often lead to the person experiencing emotional suffering and difficulty in friendship, career and relationships, often causing them to develop other conditions like depression and anxiety. This can be true even if the person is holding down a job.
I can't help but notice people want to define 'real autism' as only those who are impaired to the extent that they can't advocate for themselves, which conveniently means never having to listen to an autistic person's opinion on things. If you're communicating clearly, even through text on the internet, then you're just a quirky adult who is talking over the people with 'real problems'.
I'm rather dismayed by the recent outpouring of articles about splitting the diagnosis up by people who don't even have a horse in this race but have somehow become qualified to weigh in on psychiatric diagnosis.
This reminds me of the "good developers must be good at thinking at multiple levels of abstraction at the same time" quote. The things you notice about these AI kids is they didn't even do the bare minimum to reason about their PR from multiple angles. __Of course__ someone is going to ask why the copyright is there. Better have a good answer, or - locked, come back when you do. Really that simple.
Pretty much. I guess it’s open source but it’s not in the spirit of open source contribution.
Plus it puts the burden of reviewing the AI slop onto the project maintainers and the future maintenance is not the submitters problem. So you’ve generated lots of code using AI, nice work that’s faster for you but slower for everyone else around you.
Another consideration here that hits both sides at once is that the maintainers on the project are few. So while it could be a great burden pushing generated code on them for review, it also seems a great burden to get new features done in the first place. So it boils down to the choice of dealing with generated code for X feature, or not having X feature for a long time, if ever.
Yes, and that may eventually lead to a more generation-friendly fork to which those desiring said friendliness, or just more features in general, will flock.
It's also a fairly simple matter to respect the time of the maintainers of software you want to contribute to - by, for example, talking to them before dumping 16,000 LoC in a PR and expecting them to review it.
Unless, of course, it has nothing to do with actually contributing and improving software.
Their issue seemed to be the process. They're setup for a certain flow. Jamming that flow breaks it. Wouldn't matter if it were AI or a sudden surge of interested developers. So, it's not a question of accepting or not accepting AI generated code, but rather changing the process. That in itself is time-consuming and carries potential risk.
Definitely, with the primary issue in this case being that the PRer didn't discuss with the maintainers before going to work. Things could've gone very differently if that discussion was had, especially disclosing the intent to use generated code. Though of course there's the risk that disclosure could've led to a preemptive shutdown of the discussion, as there are those who simply don't want to consider it at all.
I'd like to make the point that even if this does occur, it doesn't mean, "therefore this medication shouldn't be used/is worse than doing nothing," just that awareness and caution is needed.
I went through a frankly terrible few months on my current meds because they removed the emotional numbness before removing the bad feelings. However, once that was over they effectively gave me my life back after 10+ years of continual exhaustion and brain fog.
I'm glad it's demonstrating its inherent untrustworthiness in such a spectacular (and funny) way. Probably still won't stem the flood of 'grok is this real' but this is better than the reality where it subtly and competently nudges users towards its owner's preferred political beliefs.
Literally supergluing a dead butterfly's wing in place of the damaged wing wasn't quite what I expected but I guess it works.
Wonder if the dead wing will hold up for the lifespan of the butterfly without deteriorating? A living wing would have circulation. Then again even living butterfly wings don't heal from damage so it might not make much difference.
Being interested in something is a skill that can be cultivated in itself. Of course, you probably won't be able to convince yourself that something you find unbearably dull is interesting, but you can deepen a vague interest into curiosity towards and appreciation of the details and nuances.
It's not about joyless grinding or forcing yourself, more like putting yourself in a space where you engage with the thing and deciding to go just one step further than the point where your attention initially starts to drift. Or just putting yourself back in the space of thinking about it when you have a free moment, like waiting in a queue. You can use that time to, for example, make up a few sentences in the language that you're learning (perhaps about how annoying the queue is), or playing music in your head.
It is slightly more difficult in the moment, but in the long term it makes your life experience richer and more fulfilling than if you pulled out your phone and started scrolling (which you can still do afterward). You don't have to be mercilessly beating yourself about productivity, but if you develop these kinds of habits you tend to naturally start doing it more often.
Japan too, convenience stores are everywhere, packages go to lockers in the convenience store, unlock with phone app.
(Of course you can still choose to have them delivered to your door, but I find the delivery people don't ring the doorbell and then mark the delivery as missed, even with instructions to leave the package in front of the door. But that's a separate issue.)
