AI is overhyped and unreliable -Goldman Sachs
  • You should all see the story about the invention blue LEDs. No one believed that it could work except some japanese guy (Shuji Nakamura) who kept working on it despite his company telling him to stop. No one believed it could ever be solved despite being so close. He solved it and the rewards were astronomical.

    This could very well be another case of being so close to a breakthrough. Two years since GPT-3 came out is nothing. If you were paying any sort of attention you would see there are promising papers coming out almost every week.

  • University Students
  • Universities often teach students to write a lot of comments, because you are required to learn and demonstrate your ability to translate between code and natural language. But this is one of the things that are different in professional environments.

    Every comment is a line to maintain in addition to the code it describes. And comments like this provide very little (if any) extra information that is not already available from reading the code. It is not uncommon for someone to alter the code that the comment is supposed to describe without changing the comment, resulting in comments that lie about what the code does, forcing you to read the code anyway.

    It's like if you were bilingual, you don't write every sentence in both languages, because that is twice as much text to maintain (and read).

    The exception of course, being if you are actually adding information that is not available in the code itself, such as why you did something a particular way.

  • [PROJECT] 4get is a proxy search engine that doesn't suck
  • What is the point of all these proxy search engines if they rely on the centralized servers' indexes anyways?

    Correction: it's not even the indexes it's the results. So really you still have no control over things such as the pageranking.

  • Scaled and controversial sort?

    With Lemmy 0.19 there are new scaled and controversial sort options, but I don't see them in the app. Is there an update coming soon to support these?

    edit: it seems like it gets selected when it's the default sort option for the logged in user. There's just no way to select it in the UI.

    GitHub - dessalines/thumb-key: A privacy-conscious Android keyboard made for your thumbs

    Just wondering if anyone else has learned the Thumb-key keyboard well and could share their typing speed?

    I have been using the TypeSplit layout for a few weeks now and get over 50-55 wpm with it consistently. I'm still learning it though so I'm expecting to see over 60 wpm soon.

    Android Doze Tweaks

    Found this very interesting article about how Android's Doze Mode really works and how you can tweak the settings. For example how you can make doze mode ignore the motion sensor.

    FSR 3 frame generation in MSFS

    Has anyone been able to test this yet? What was your experience like?

    I was able to test it on my 7900XT, but I'm not sure if it was working right. It was definitely enabled as the frame counter in Adrenalin showed double FPS. But that was only until I moved the camera and the FPS would return to non-framegen baseline until I stopped moving it again which kind of defeats the purpose.

    Ulykker og trafikkfarlige situasjoner stopper ikke bilistene fra å parkere ulovlig langs E16. Natt til fredag haglet bøtene fra politiet.

    Fulle linjer: Her er det ikke plass til flere tog
    www.nrk.no Fulle linjer: Her er det ikke plass til flere tog

    Bane Nor må si nei til selskaper som vil kjøre mer tog. Årsaken er at stadig flere togstrekninger her til lands rett og slett er fulle.
