wait the peace prize company is getting into sports now?

They could couldn’t have called it the Unalloyed Gold edition? :/

Oh, they invented making candidates do work on their code bases, again. Innovation.

maybe you now have 1 lack of items?

the first time I heard “1997”, in a movie, in the 90s, I freaked out, like no way that’s a real year.

Man when did pollsters get so lazy and bad at their jobs

doesn’t the AI win at dark souls like 99% of the time?

these days? hit up polymarket

speculation in this space is completely fair but this sentiment:

As code becomes easier for designers to write and agents keep improving, the source of truth will naturally migrate back to code. And all the baroque infrastructure Figma had to introduce over the past decade will look nuts by comparison. Why fuss around in a lossy approximation of the thing when you can work directly in the medium where it will actually live? If we want to make pottery, why are we painting watercolors of the pot instead of just throwing the clay?

drives me nuts. the process of design working in companies, on teams, involves working from rough ideas (of which there may be many) to a finalized idea that benefits from rounds of iteration and abstraction. Being able to jump directly to a series of final-looking things doesn’t “design it” faster, it obfuscates the problem behind slick looking interfaces. You’re not going to pull a slot machine and suddenly end up with a design that meets all of the needed criteria.

bro some people have invested literal weeks into this career.

He should fire the moron who hired those idiots.

Yeah not even trying to be difficult about it but multiple people use computers*, like multiple people might watch a TV. Which is why it was decided forever ago that responsibility lies the parents who own the device rather than collectively all of society like is being requested here.

(* I’ve seen it pointed out lots of times that a lot of Linux instances are also not ever really used by any particular person, like in an IOT device like a motion sensor, or a fridge or just a bunch of virtual instances as well; really this whole thing doesn’t make any fucking sense on a lot of levels)

The DOB field is different from name and address because it is a fixed attribute that never changes

(Preface: I’m not really disagreeing with your larger point) This is not really correct though. I have a computer and I’m in my 50s. So it’s in 50 year old mode. Now my grandson who is 7 is in front of my computer. What utility is the fixed age that was gathered years ago in protecting the actual child user in that case?

Sample size of 1, admittedly, but we’ve had life on earth for 4 billion years. We’ve had life capable of radio communications for about 50 years. That’s .0000000014% of the time life has existed. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad assumption to think that only that proportion of stars would have even had the time to get to this stage.

This is good advice. Pick a person you know and drop hints that you’re them. Bonus points if that person is terminally online. Anyway, gotta get back to running X.

It could be that. or it could be that the AI gives the illusion of reasoning and this is an example of the illusion breaking. But no it was probably that it knew it was a trick question and decided to answer wrongly because it is very very smart. Yeah.

I think it’s actually just the perception that it’s doing that from people who are so far away from the working that they don’t have any clue.

Like 300 years ago if you wanted to be a sailor maybe you started by rowing oars, or swabbing decks or dealing with ropes and rigging or whatever. If you’re a 19 year old seaman in 2026 you’re probably using a throttle controller that’s 26 different systems disconnected from the actual mechanical work. No one says “oh that guys not a novice seaman” or “the boat literally drives itself hurr”

If you’re a graphic designer in 1970, you’d cut out and hand lay a magazine page out on a big glowing table, page by page, resetting the type so it fit along with giant physical images so you could design the page. In 2026, you’d use Illustrator and lay it out on your computer. No one says “oh the magazines just lay themselves out” or “that’s not how you lay out magazine”. It’s just done with the tools available.

What’s going on is very few people seem to understand the difference between a tool and a solution. A tool is a thing that does something. A hammer is a tool. A solution is something that solves a problem. A hammer is a tool but it is not a good solution for a crying baby. Applying random tools to non-problems does not generate solutions randomly, it just creates even more intractable problems.

Thanks for doing an AMA on Lemmy! If you could play any race in the Star Trek universe which would you pick and why?
