Let me get this right. You're telling me that in your personal experience, you don't abstract away low level actions like pressing keys of your instrument or typing on the keyboard? You're genuinely telling me you derive equal pleasure from music as the feel of the keys?
Nah bro, most of us learn touch typing and musical instrument finger exercises etc when starting out, it's usually abstracted away once we get competent.
AI takes away the joy of creation, not the low level actions. That's like abstracted twice over..
> I think there is a section of programmer who actually do like the actual typing of letters, numbers and special characters into a computer...
This sounds like an alien trying and failing to describe why people like creating things. No, the typing of characters in a keyboard has no special meaning, neither does dragging a brush across a canvas or pulling thread through fabric. It's the primitive desire to create something by your own hands. Have people using AI magically lost all understanding of creativity or creation, everything has to be utilitarian and business?
As a lay person, huh, that's something you don't think about. But still even if that were true, I don't see how society, patients and their caretakers will accept high risk patients in trails. And wasn't there news recently of UK phasing out animal trails too?
Naturally, I'm a dev. Could it be something to do with limited genetic storage being dedicated to software instead of coding for hardware capabilities? In my limited knowledge, increasing DNA size comes at a maintainance cost(transcription, replication etc), so there's a soft upper bound.
I asked around and a few people seem to have no problem "visualizing" tastes and smells, especially for common ones. I can imagine sense of touch too, I just assumed it's normal to be able to imagine all senses.
Do you have an inner monologue? If you can hear your inner voice, you'll know that your inner voice is less of a voice and more of a speaker that can play anything you like. The only limits are my own knowledge, experience and creativity.
Aphantasia might occur with other senses too. I'm almost certain I have aphantasia in taste and smells. I simply cannot conjure any in my head, even for extremely common ones like taste of apple or sun dried sheets. When people ask me about my opinion of food I just had, I'm simply recalling facts from my assessment made during the meal. It's very different from how I do it if I had to recall something visual like a painting, because I do have a vivid mental image.
So what is the takeaway from this? It isn't even the expectation of winning money that keeps people in casinos, just the dopamine hit from a slot machine itself? They would've played with or without reward the whole time?
Because AoC has a leaderboard? Whenever you have a leaderboard of any kind, there will be people trying to get up there.
It's also likely that a lot of AI users will be skilled developers too. They already know they can solve the problems, they also think they deserve the leaderboard rankings, so using AI is ok.
In school, they used to teach us about the atomic structure of metals being an orderly lattice. Being an orderly lattice, if two pieces of metals were in contact with each other, there wouldn't be any indication of where one piece ended and where the other began. Is this why it fuses in space?
But if researchers say there isn't enough evidence, where will the average consumer turn to to "do more research"? That's where the shady pseudoscience advertising articles come in, who will gladly make unfounded claims with absolute confidence.
Not really though. The impact of the API issue being protested hasn't even occured yet. It'll be up to individuals tomorrow to cope with the objectively worse experience of browing reddit mobile on browser with the ads and annoying naggy pop-ups or the official app. I went back to reddit after the protests, but I fully expect the degraded experience to naturally nudge me towards lemmy and HN. I just can't imagine dealing with that shit when I whip out my phone during a toilet break.
Yesterday, I wanted to write a comment on a programming sub with some advice. But I decided not to because I ain't training reddit's AI product. This has happened repeatedly the last few weeks, and on many other platforms like github as well, I wanted to post something but decided not to, because I can't get over the fact I'll be training someone's AI.
Btw, how do any of these work for people with glasses? My vision is too bad to survive without them and I'm sure half the city dwellers around me are too.
There has been a lot of friction between locals and Chinese immigrants lately, especially with the rising cost of living. Public sentiment is quite negative, but the government seems happy importing more wealthy Chinese.
This feels very much like talking to people, like the customer service rep of a company. The difference between an LLM and the human staff is the lack of context. The LLM has no idea what it's even doing at all.
There used to be this scifi idea of giving AI overarching directives like "never hurt a human" before deploying them. Seems like we aren't even at that stage yet, yet we're here trying to give brain dead LLMs more capabilities.
By the way, I realized that sprintf can be used to concatenate by using the buffer within the formatting itself, while snprintf prevents it. Is it a safety issue too?
As a newcomer to C, why is it that the C standard library doesn't get updated? Newer languages seem to place a lot of emphasis on getting their standard libraries as useful as possible. It's odd to be told not to use the standard library functions but to write my own instead. I'm really doubting I can just sit down and hammer out string functions superior to string.h.
"Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation" is a relatively new game on steam and switch. And of course the major slice of life games like stardew valley, animal crossing, harvest moon, rune factory etc. The Japanese quite like these stuff.
I believe there is a resurgence in LAN-like in-person social gaming when competitive multiplayer mobile gaming became a thing. It can take place literally anywhere, a quick few minutes during lunch, before classes.
I don't know why people don't look at India more. And China too, but in this case we know the Chinese use WeChat. India has about 3 times more people than the US, UK and Australia combined. China and India make up more than a third of all people on Earth, but rarely ever mentioned.
Indians use Whatsapp, and so does the fourth biggest country in the world, Indonesia.
