bcjdjsndon··on Remote workers report the highest well-being in study of 7,700 employees
Most of England outside London requires a car to buy anything... It's your massive portions of food and how surprisingly cheap it is compared to Europe. And maybe you have more grape drink fake shit than we do

> taking 10 minutes rather than just opening teams and joining the meeting in time.

I love how you couldn't think of an example of work other than a teams meeting lol is that all you do WFH then?

It's been happening since the 1800s non stop.... I know it's wrong to show kids porn etc but what's the actual damage it does?

Ah come on man used by billions it should have killed hundreds of thousands by now if what they say is true about it

Just like c++ thought threads wasn't a std library concern and then later changed they minds, rust will also change tac I predict

> Who is funding this security audit? Are folks supposed to volunteer their free time?

Same people who keep the whole rust project going, a lot of those are volunteers aren't they? Not mad to think they could do the same for core packages at least

> Separately, why do some commenters think that their personal experience is representative of Everyone

Without unsolicited personal opinions, there wouldn't be much conversation. And what then, have only people state verifiable truths? Only permit the exchange of pure fact?

> WFH people want to do work

Debatable. They take issue with getting dressed and acting appropriately in an office, I can't imagine they're particularly hard working people given a commute is a hard no for them. You'll complain you haven't got time to do the work next

And if you're job can be done without anyone needing to speak to you, or you to them, it's probably not that important and ripe for AI to take off your hands, so enjoy it while you can autist

Nah you also come on comment sections to brag about a wage you got decades ago. Times have changed old man

> I generally like my coworkers and we get along, but that's not worth a 2 hour round trip in the car

How can you be fine with having 0 interest in a job but commuting is some kind of deal breaker? You managed to man up about the rest of the stuff but not the commute?

No wonder America is fucked. My friend visited an office over there once and EVERY SINGLE PERSON in there was morbidly obese, single finger typing. I'm not surprised they complain about having to drive, next they'll be complaining about the actual work and how it doesn't fulfill them the peasants

> Also, why ask this here, and not simply use Google or an LLM to find the information? It comes off as a bit lazy

- why answer?

- Google is a fucking mess, no thanks, quicker to ask a person who knows the answer already

- llms don't always give you a decent answer, and the time I spend back and forth would be greater than just asking a human

Why c? Because I want to hand craft a minimal llm without calling in a bunch of libraries that do the actual LLM part for me... I want to know the actual maths going into it. Plus I don't know python. By the looks of it, you can code an llm ina few lines of correctly chosen python; to me this is very unenlightening and I might as well have just ran ollama

I'm guessing, they too live a sedentary lifestyle and that's why their muscles are wasting away. Ive seen 90 year olds in rural Italy out every morning watering the garden. She didn't need to spend any time exercising because she gets "exercise" by simply doing stuff each day.

I think you've missed my point. Do hunter gatherers need to exercise? Pastoralists? It's only those of us caught in civilized society that live sedentary lives and have this problem in the first place

How prescient

Why would you need to exercise unless you were living an unnaturally sedentary life due to being trapped in wage slavery? Shouldn't this be retitled to something like overcoming illhealth related to sedantism?

Buy one robot, use it for many things, is an attractive proposition I think

> I’d argue that there’s a clear line connecting the automation of typesetting and counting in the late 19th century to the rise of electrical computers a generation later, and then the early Internet and AI research a generation after that.

And I'd argue that's very generous.

bcjdjsndon··on Admin: Terminally Ill Patients Aren't Exempt from Medicaid Work Requirements
Parkinson's lol do you know what that actually looks like? It's degenerative. In a country where only the poor are expected to do all the work, seems fair to me that when they cannot work, the state provides them at least a meagre allowance. What exactly should they do, waste away and starve to death? Pay for it with the money from some billionaire who doesn't work for a living

Yes but you dont

Except it's not a bank, it's a country with a few hundred million people that need to work and eat. Once the lenders have a problem, it would already be the end for Americans.

I'll take that as a compliment

bcjdjsndon··on ChatGPT claims rogue AI attacked more companies
No longer well anybody be wasting their lives doing data entry. That absolutely hellish job is practically dead now. And there are thousands of low hanging fruit type cases AI fixes. Ai is the new digital dogsbody. You might not think that's useful but the rest of the world does.

Just like cars, AI will kill some of us, maybe thousands every year. But you won't see it disappear with that much genuine benefit currently netting off the harm.

I bet in the future, for both cars and llms, a new and safer tech will make come and make them obsolete and we will wonder why we tolerated such a dangerous thing
