Don't worry we won't have to put up with it for long because apparently an AI is going to use a virus to kill us all in about 2 years time. Personally I wish it would get on with it.

If they got rid of the TSA they would have probably been given a lot more public good will, of course it would mean that the job market would suddenly have been swamped by the biggest bunch of idiots that anyone has ever had to deal with.

I am a straight Christian white dude

We get it you're looking for a job

You have to submit your CV and a cover letter as well as go on our website and fill out 500 little boxes all of which are answered by your CV.

How are they going to understand a language that doesn't exist yet?

Calling a bomb threat on the plane just before takeoff. That'll really confuse things but it'll get the job done.

So you going to head back to a random Wednesday and be like nope not happening yet, let's try tomorrow, nope. Maybe next week?

Let's be honest though if there were sex bots AI would be even more popular than it already is

Did you just use a backtick as an apostrophe? You are an absolute savage.

Oh so you're the AI

I actually like using em dashes because it's the correct thing to do. Also the Oxford comma, correct use of semi colon, and listing things in threes.

What do you bet that if you were Vibe coating in python it would import a library so it could do zero indexing again?

The newspaper he was writing for is a major publication he absolutely could have asked someone.

The problem here is the newspaper didn't care enough about the article to put anyone on it who is even remotely familiar with technology. They probably thought of it as just some throwaway piece to fill out a bit of space. Which to be fair it would have been had it not been for that comment.

I don't think it's the variable for counting the number of us in a group that's the issue here. There'll be some internal tracker that gives everyone in the chat group a local ID probably for the purposes of ensuring that everyone stays in sync.

If you leave the group and then go into a different chat group you'll probably have a different number in that group because the internal counter is specific to the chat, not to the user ID which will be a unique ID used across all interactions for that phone number.

Computers start counting at zero, (unless it's python) so the first person in the group would be ID 0, the second person would be ID 1

Also they can't use computers anyway. They just publicly post on social media. It's considered secure because no one likes them enough to follow them.

That's a super old article as well.

They got rightfully roasted in the comments for not knowing even the most basic things about computing.

Yeah I know that's my point.

A company telling you you've got unlimited off days is actually really bad because it means they will just engage in this judging practise.

If they tell you you've got 25 days then that's great you know how many days you've got, if it's unlimited they start being argumentative around day 10. So in reality people with unlimited time off actually end up with fewer days.

Working for a European company is great, currently I'm being told that I need to take 2 weeks off, in addition to the holiday I've already booked off.

I once had a dream that Steve Irwin had come in and wanted a tattoo of a budgie. Does that count?

If the battery is dead how can they turn it on to find out what the problem is? Literally an unsolvable problem.

I suppose in theory they could replace the battery and then see if that fixed the issue, and if it didn't then there's another issue, and then fix that issue, but all that seems like a lot of work.
