They've been trying to hire software engineers to write code as training data for them. I don't know how successful it has been, but I admit I would write code for them if they paid me enough.

What kind of code coverage did you get from your tests?

While true, Microsoft has a long tradition of only showing the numbers that make themselves look good..

As an example, when Windows Phone 7 was released, they cited several millions of downloads of their IDE, instead of declaring the total number of phones sold. That is why we are up to WindowsPhone 17 today.

Ok, I'll let you email the authors and tell them they are wrong. I'm sure they'll be happy to hear from such a smart person as you.

I don't think there was ever a time when most of these weren't true. You might as well add the sunday comics, if you're going to complain about non-news in newspapers.

There was no "rise of soft news." It was always there.

this is just the economy cratering. Mostly because of the uncertainly from Trump's idiot trade wars. We're a ways off from AI slamming into the economy.

A handful of mean-spirited boomers and a ton of mean-spirited Gen x did sure but voter suppression is the only reason their a guy one

The Gen xers are dumb. I mean real dumb. I mean the boomers I get they're going to be dead soon and most of them are already retired. Classic I got mine fuck you Boomer behavior.

And I get that the older Gen x that did all this have the same I got mine fuck you attitude. But they don't got theirs. They still have jobs and they don't have solid retirements lined up. Never mind the fact that they're 401ks are about to get looted by the same private equity ghouls that stole everybody's pensions.

This is the fuck around part in about 5 or 6 years to find out hits during Trump's third term. That's when they all lose their houses. I've said it before but about half the people reading this are going to be homeless by then.

I'm sure they'll blame trans girls playing field hockey and Hunter biden's laptop but that won't get them their houses back.

Starting a massive trade war while chasing away tens of billions of dollars of tourists so that you could appeal the racist boomers while constantly threatening to crash the stock market by firing the head of the Federal reserve is not in fact sound economic policy.

I'm sure it'll all turn around in 2 weeks. Right around the time the Epstein documents get released.

And other news Ghislain Maxwell has been transferred to a club fed prison and newsmax is now telling their viewers that she's innocent. Pardon in three. Two. One....

Just because we see them used incorrectly frequently doesn't legitimize using the wrong words.

Actually, it does. English does not have a regulatory body. It is an evolving language. So, popular use is precisely what determines meaning and correctness.

This is extremely frustrating, and hard to accept, for certain kinds of people. But it remains a staunch reality.

It's too hard. As such, it scares too many students away. The schools want that student loan money, so they don't want to scare students away, so they water things down as much as possible.

I suspect that all the hype around AI replacing programmers is scaring students away too, so making the ones who are interested prove themselves with C/C++ would be devastating to enrollment.

When Stack Overflow goes down?

I've tried a few of these and I can tell you that the code they generate comes almost exclusively from stack overflow posts. I know because the code usually doesn't work unless it's algorithm code like you're asking it to generate a binary tree implementation or something.

So I end up looking for working code and that gets me to stack overflow every time. I know that the generic documentation for the apis does not work for current llms. They can't really make sense of reference documentation as far as I can tell they can just summarize it.

I'm not so naive that I believe that there isn't a plan for this but I wonder what it is. I wonder if for example that since most companies are owned by the same handful of billionaire shareholders if they will just all start sharing code together.

Somebody is training there chatbot using my comments and they're trying to get you to engage with them so that they can further train their chatbot.

Most of the comment above isn't anything I actually said because the chat bot has gotten to the point where it can embellish instead of just copying my old comments like it used to several months ago.

I'm not sure if this is a hobbyist or if people are just getting desperate for content to train chatbots on

It's kind of hard not to bring him up in every conversation because he dominates every aspect of our lives. Didn't have to be that way but you're terrified of trans people and you want to say the n word in public without losing your job so it is what it is.

I'm not sure why you traded everything you own for those two things but you did and I have to suffer with your decision because there's way more of you morons than there are of me

Any viable solution you will not allow because it's not compatible with the worldview you developed when you were 12. You will not allow any changes to that.

So our civilization is going to descend into horrifying techno feudalism right up until we hand the nuclear launch codes to theocratic lunatics.

Then somebody who is convinced there is a golden dome protecting them is going to do a launch and the species ends.

It's also possible that the nukes won't work because idiots are maintaining them and we just spend the next 10,000 years with horrifying oligarchy and 99% of the population living in the kind of poverty you see in TV ads with starving African children

Any other option or solution was taken off the table by you and your childish obsession with keeping things exactly the way they were when you were 12 and your parents were protecting you from The real world.

I'm just screaming into the void because I didn't die before the damage you've been doing for 50 years hit. You're going to be homeless though. The billionaires will take your home so they can be trillionaires. They don't even care about it they just want to put the zeros in their bank account. But the only way they can do that is take everything from you and me.

Billionaires buying it up and turn them into propaganda rags for the right wing pro corporate policies did it.

There is absolutely no useful information in a newspaper anymore. Since 2016 they have absolutely killed what little was left of journalism. You get a small amount of factual information from the associate press and other than that any actual useful reporting has to come from overseas or occasionally from independent journalism.

And every time one of those independent journalists breaks out and starts to build a platform the billionaires come in and do one of two things. If they can they buy it and turn it more propaganda slop.

And if they can't buy it they do what they did to Gawker where they sue it into oblivion. Most journalism has to pay the bills with a bit of muckraking and celebrity gossip and it's easy to use that to shut everything down.

There was actually a ton of independent journalism going on over on twitter... Until Elon bought it and turned it into more right-wing propaganda slop.

I am not going to pay somebody money to have them sell me down the river for a handful of billionaires and mega corporations and no matter how stupid Americans are they aren't going to go for that either.
