Does it stay up? Yes.
Can you sleep in it? Technically
Does it have running electricity and water? (Optional anyway)
Another big win for vibe coders. Pack it up, we’re taking the W home.
Donkter@lemmy.worldtoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Ditching Obsidian and building my ownEnglish2·2 months agoThe joke response is that building your own PKMS is the final form of procrastination.
The frustration for me is that I use a PKMS all the time: Google Keep.
Cause what I want from a PKMS is a note book, maybe with a way to tag each note, but only if it’s convenient. The cardinal sin of any PKMS is lack of access. I don’t want my PKMS to show a loading screen when I open it. I don’t want it to bury me in options about what type of note I want to create. I don’t want my PKMS to be loaded with so many features that it takes a second or two to switch screens.
I want it to be easier than the effort it would take to carry a note pad and pencil in my back pocket, and it’s astounding that it’s rare and sad that I have to resort to Google’s blessed tendency to abandon projects like Keep to bare minimum functionality for me to get the app that I want. Will I use Keep for 30 years? Idk, but I’ve been using it for a decade so far but knowing Google it’s any day now that they’ll just announce that they’re canning the whole thing.
Solution? Store 8 booleans in 1 byte.
This is just absurdism using the fact that there’s a new pope as the basis of the meme.
It could just as easily be him saying God says it’s ok to throw car batteries into the ocean.
I get that the glib answer will be “so they can make money”
But what is the actual thought process they are pretending to go through here? Cause the experience of being a prompt engineer is not some sought after experience like how people pay to be movie PAs for free or work as an artist assistant.
Yeah, it’s like an AI parodied an xkcd comic.
Donkter@lemmy.worldto [moved to piefed] movies@lemm.ee•Tron: Ares - Official PosterEnglish6·3 months agoIt’s both. He’s difficult to work with, but also his acting is so bad he makes most movies he’s in worse than they could be.
Plenty of Hollywood actors are assholes, but if they’re good enough at acting they’re forgiven. Jared Leto is not good enough to get away with it.

Such a unique design for a card game nothing is quite like it. I checked out the most popular app of it and they recreated the game! Unfortunately, it’s an exact recreation which means the grind of the old game is still in place which is really disappointing. I’m convinced it would be a popular game if it was closer to a modern online TCG and I didn’t have to spend hours to grind out new cards for a deck.

It was an excellently designed game that had a lot of potential and was fun to play. Lots of deck building options. They came out with like one expansion that showed more potential but it stopped being worked on. If I recall later into the game the grind to collect rares was really annoying.
Unfortunately the site’s completely dead now but after some googling there seems to be a fan base trying to revive it, idk how that’s going but I’m going to check it out.
Donkter@lemmy.worldto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•An ethics professor at Cambridge talks about teaching ethics in 202501·4 months agoTo add to this, morality can be entirely subjective, but yeah, of course if I see someone kicking puppies in the street I’ll think: “That’s intrinsically morally wrong.” Before I try to play in the space of “there’s no true morality and their perspective is as valid as mine.”
If my subjective morality says that slavery is wrong, I don’t care what yours says. If you try to keep slaves in the society I live in as well I want you kicked out and ostracized.
It’s semantics. The difference between an llm and “asking” wikipedia a knowledge question is that the llm will “answer” you with predictive text. Both things contain more knowledge than you do, as in they have answers to more trivia and test questions than you ever will.

Celsius has a crazy amount of caffeine and it’s packed into a smaller can than the rest of them.

Yeah and the measles makes some people immune and for some people they die.
Edit: also, what kind of argument is that in the first place? “Yeah well sometimes it provably provides a positive benefit to people’s lives in a statistically significant way, and sometimes it’s neutral with no downsides???”
Donkter@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•All this bad AI is wrecking a whole generation of gadgetsEnglish3·4 months agoSome More News had the right take on this: all these companies just dumped (either in investment or development) (hundreds of) billions of dollars into AI development.
The problem is, we’re still 10-15 years away from AI being actually useful in gadgets and stuff. But these companies want to get paid now, so they’re shoving the cheapest, shittiest “functional” AI onto the market just to try and recoup some losses. And it’s painfully apparent it isn’t working.
