I've used chat GTP a bit and 99% of its responses are pretty obviously coming from old stack overflow posts. The problem is there is a lot less traffic on stack overflow because all the programmers are using chat GTP.

When AI has to rely on the raw documentation for a technology, documentation that is almost always written overseas by people who don't speak whatever language the documentation is written in natively because fuck if a company is going to pay for documentation, the end results are pretty terrible and pretty useless. It's really just summarizing the doc. Occasionally if the documents are a meandering mess it can be useful because it'll pick out the piece of information you want out of hundreds of HTML pages spread across the internet but for the most part worthless.

So it's all the training material gets cut off from AI how are they going to keep it up to date? Is there some trick I don't know about? I don't think you can just pointed it code and have it magically work it's got to have context.

The various religious apologists are going to have a field day with this having to explain it to their base. They always do because that's literally what they do for a living but the explanations are getting increasingly strained and ridiculous. If you're religious I think the best way to be religious is what that YouTube guy Dan McClellan does where he knows that everything in the Bible is bullshit and just believes what he believes.

To be fair anyone with common sense as long deleted their slashdot accounts...

It is remarkably hard to find good discourse on the internet because as soon as you create a place for people to do that income the advertisers and the Russian bots and the pussy pics in bio spammers and everyone else to ruin everyone's fun.

Then the next thing you do is you have a karma score and you hide posts or block users who have karma that is too low. So the scammers and the Russians show up and do low effort posts on hobbyist forums that they can reliably get voted up in order to generate karma.

So for example the Reddit retro gamer forums are basically worthless because 99% of the posts are hey look at this old video game you remember it right it's great everyone loves it up vote me! That way the person doing the post can keep their karma score high enough to post on other forums at least until somebody figures out it's a bot or a spammer and blocks it and then they just create another ID...

That's why discord took off. Really really tiny areas that can fragment and are too small to do spamming because there's just not enough people on any given discord channel to be worth spamming...

And they don't care. Video gaming is becoming a luxury item with the ps6 on track to sell for over $1,000 in Sony openly telling the press they will not subsidize console sales anymore.

I have said it before and I say it again this is what happens when you don't enforce antitrust law.

No one is going to enter a market to compete anymore because the existing players will just drop their prices and run them out of business. Hell even if they wanted to enter the market they would not be allowed to.

The only reason valve can get away with it is they are already in the market for all intents and purposes. But with a massive amount of enshutification you would expect some of the other electronics manufacturers to be eyeing the market especially since Microsoft is on the verge of dropping out but nope. Ain't nobody going to take that risk and even if they wanted to no bank is going to give them the capital because they know they will never get it back.

If you want choices you need competition and if you want competition you need the government. The government is the referee in the game of capitalism and we fired the ref.

Hell I am old enough to remember when Sony passed off the cutscenes from armored core 2 as gameplay and a bunch of my friends skipped buying a Sega Dreamcast because of it. We did not get games that look that good until the PS5 armored core. It literally took Sony 20 years to make hardware that could do what they claims the PS2 could do it launch. Absolutely crushed Sega back then. That's not technically antitrust but that's the kind of consumer watchdog stuff we got rid of long before we got rid of antitrust...

Thanks, that's an interesting website. I didn't immediately spot a map of sound levels. Might be an interesting open source project. Some electronics with reasonably well calibrated sound level metering, and an outdoor enclosure for it...

They're in charge. They make the rules. 46% of the population decided that and the 54% who knew better either couldn't wait in line 7 hours to vote on election Day or want enough to overrule the 46% minority who thought it was a good idea have an establishment billionaire with a long rap sheet and a history of rape president.

Boom Supersonic is claiming that they will use 100% sustainable aviation fuel. In theory that means it will be waste products from food production, and stuff grown to produce it. In practice, sustainable aviation fuel looks like another scam to greenwash a very polluting product.

We shall see what happens in November, but if it's not good we might need to start thinking about sanctions on the US.

I have a feeling that the new ones will be extremely expensive too. Boom's aircraft is on the small side. They claim it will be net zero, but that seems exceedingly unlikely. Aviation fuel isn't cheap and subject to oil price shocks.

I wish someone would get a radically more fuel efficient design working. Lots of ideas like flying wings, but nothing ever comes of them.

Concorde did fly to the US though, it just wasn't allowed to go supersonic over land. Which is fair enough, it didn't go supersonic over the UK or Ireland either, the pilots waited until it was out to sea.

The new tech that has been developed for limiting sonic booms is quite interesting. A combination of lessening the effects and making most of it bounce off the thicker atmosphere at lower altitude, a bit like how a submarine can hide from hydrophones by crossing boundary layers under the sea. Sound doesn't travel well between different density areas of a liquid or gas.

Nah, the check just cleared. It's always a bribe.

It is weird that President of the United States is accepted over a billion dollars in crypto bribes and over 2 billion dollars in bribes for pardons and a $1 billion dollar bride from Qatar in a form of a jet he plans to take with him when he leaves office. He's taking at least 5 billion dollars in bribes maybe more. And we all just collectively shrug our shoulders instead of demanding he's removed from office.

I think we've gotten to the point where we just expect corruption too much from politicians.

There is a world of difference between Nancy pelosi using the stock tips and Donald Trump selling pardons.

That's generally what JavaScript was supposed to be: a glue language that does things like call a GUI engine, it wasn't designed to BE the goddam GUI engine.

sit in the damned dark and accept your punishment for greed and ignorance!
