Taking a distance uni class now to maybe swap away from dev work and my submitted works that are to be reviewed and commented on by other students all come back with AI generated feedback and it's making me go insane. If I needed AI feedback I'd go ask an AI but for any communication now it's a cointoss if you're getting a human reply.

I wonder could you ask for a video instead of a text, like a screen recording with a voice recorder.

Harder to fake.


Yeah, but I guess harder for the professor to check up on too. It's a course on a specific kind of creative writing so human feedback would be QUITE helpful instead of AI responses about how good parts are.

Its absolutely lossy and you'd have to know a lot about each piece to know how big the loss is.

Had a very similar one, I wasn't working frontend but had a dream about a frontend vulnerability that also proved to be true. I dreamed about it, and assume it was because it's the kind of thing that bugs me and while dreaming I had some time to think about things other than the code at hand.

Yeah but tons of things are awful. For me I couldn't keep doing things I knew caused immense suffering in other beings, be it humans or animals. (Sourcing things from ethical whatever and reducing consumption in general the last two decades, I'm sad my iPhone 6 isn't supported for banking so have to go android 10 etc).

Vegetarian options got cheap, and I still eat locally produced eggs and some milk products.

But like, awful can be coped with. Everyone thinks factory farming is awful. Few give a shit.


Few people can afford to give a shit. Most people are getting the cheapest meat and dairy they can get from Walmart.


Blessing/curse that meat is so expensive in Scandinavia that good vegan options actually became competitive. I know meat is dirt cheap in the US =/


It's still not cheaper to have a very meat rich diet then to have one that is mostly plant based; or entirely vegetablebased plus milk and eggs from local production - which wouldn't get you in some of the difficulties vegsns have to desl with, where they need to take some nutrients in the form of supplements if they don't absolutely optimize their diet (which again becomes expensive - would be interesting to be corrected here)

All that is to say: some people act less ethical then others, and should have to accept that fact - instead of trying to produce an image of the self (to themselves mostly but also to others) that conceals it; be it through normalization ("guess we all do that"), rationslization ("if i wouldn't do it someone else would"), or blame shifting (if someone would do this and that i would behave like that, so it's up to them to provide me with xyz)

edit: I apply that to myself. I know that I don't act as ethical as I could regarding the consequences of my diet.


Might want to go back and check on the Dems. It bad > it's the ones I don't vote for is easy to say.


Senate Democrats have made at least 5 attempts to stop this. Every Democrat voted in favor except Fetterman. Every republican opposed the attempt except Ron Paul.

The Republicans are entirely responsible for the war in Iran - they started it and have opposed every attempt to reign the administration in. Don't play this "both sides" game when one side is clearly causing the issue here.

I mean. The side voting while knowing they can't stop it that way, the definition of optics, thought this was worth it to not cater to their anti-war voters, no?

Both side bad yeah, you seem to think the solution is still to cling to the lesser of two evils. Hell, dem presidential candidates were praising Trumps Iran policy up until the bombs started falling. There is no evidence they _actually_ care about a war with Iran outside of, just as you do, saying OH this is THEIR doing.


Look, I would love to reply to this but you don't even articulate a coherent position here.

It seems like you trying to claim that the democrats actively opposing and trying to stop the war are somehow just as culpable as the republicans who are actively supporting the war just because the democrats don't have enough power to actually stop it? I want to be generous in my interpretation here, but I can't make heads or tails of your statement.


yea, I don't see any evidence that either the democratic party or democratic voters support the war on iran, secretly or not

sometimes a cigar is just a cigar


No-one supports the war now. But Palestine just had to go? It can't be about _war_ or loss of life, and the people caring can get f-ed we don't need your votes.

But sure one side is extremely against anything like this but unfortunately only get to demonstrate it when in opposition and unable to do anything.


Right, so your argument is that democrats are performative which is just as bad as the republicans actively starting wars?

Is there a more steelmanned version of this that I can ignore once you start making more false equivalencies in its defense?


The difference might be there in regards to Iran, with it's global market impact. But it's not there in regards to human life or suffering. That was made _very_ clear during the electoral campaign. But now it's _very different_ because it's "them" doing it and we can say we were always against this.

We have to say "us good, them bad" because we're voting the same way next time, and we're not planning to vote for something bad, right?


> But it's not there in regards to human life or suffering. That was made _very_ clear during the electoral campaign.

I don’t know what to say but to call this retarded at best or evil at worst.

Trump ran on a platform that included purposefully harming people. He continues with it. Look at his response to Mueller’s death for instance.

Inb4 you mention something about a genocide in Guzah, and ignore how Trump is backing everything Netanyahu wants done in the region compared to the democrats attempts at holding him back.


Would you mind rephrasing this post? It's not clear what you're saying in any of it.

Maybe if you tried writing genuinely without sarcasm (I think there is sarcasm there, hard to tell), it would be more comprehensible?


Google Music had my own digitised records, and helped me move away from my physical media. Now I have to find another cd player since something broke in the one I dug out after they removed my shit. This whole ecosystem is rotten


Binding of Isaac runs great via steam/Proton haven't even thought about if its native Linux or not.


Tldr: Yeah it would make it better!


I hope I left the lead as the lead.

But I also think we've had a culture shift that's hurting our field. Where engineers are arguing about if we should implement certain features based on the monetary value (which are all fictional anyways). But that's not our job. At best, it's the job of the engineering manager to convince the business people that it has not only utility value, but monetary.


I've had plenty of use for mine, but I wish I had a library of mechanisms that work well that I could put together to build easily.

Learning modelling is a huge time sink, learning to make threaded parts, or anything modular to not have to re-print everything for changes. It's great but the printing is the easy part


For sure. Have you tried to use AI to build the models themselves yet? I'm curious if it can build mechanical systems well.


Is this an AI generated response?

Attackers have always been ahead. Its been reality since we've been permanently online
