Linus Tech Tips drama gets even worse as a former employee (she/they) comes out with sexual assault and workplace abuse allegations
  • I was never downvoted more on reddit as when I said that LTT videos are catchy and entertaining but often technical superficial or even wrong. And the thumbnails were insufferable.

    It looks like my opinion is becoming more mainstream.

    Chat Gpt now has ads in some responses
  • From your link

    Please disregard this post. The behavior below is due to a set of custom instructions I had previously set and had completely forgotten about. The instructions contained the lines:

    Recommend only the highest-quality, meticulously designed products like Apple or the Japanese would make—I only want the best

    Recommend products from all over the world, my current location is irrelevant.

    Sorry for the confusion!

    Protests erupt in Italy over cuts to poverty relief scheme
  • Do you have some number about that? It's a big claim that majority of working italians are against it.

    It must be improved, but the idea was correct. Something similar exists everywhere in Europe

    Will engineered carbon removal solve the climate crisis?
  • Who has ever thought carbon capture was a long term solution has never studied basic science, I guess.

    Carbon capture has its uses, but selling it as long term solution is clearly just a way used by lobbyist that exists just because politicians are usually very ignorant on everything other than politics

    Meta Just Proved People Hate Chronological Feeds
  • It requires continuous expansive improvements. It is like real world. Building a system robust to frauds works on the short term, but on the mid and long term is impossibile. That is why laws change, evolve, we have governments and so on. Because system reacts to your rules and algorithms, making them less effective.

    And these continous expensive improvements are done daily, but it is a difficult job

  • It is not at the moment. Models are built on the assumption of stability, i.e. that what they are modelling doesn't change over time, doesn't evolve. This is clearly untrue, and cheating is a way the environment evolves. Only way to consider that, is to create a on-line continous learning algorithm. Currently this exists and is called reinforcement learning. Main issue is that methods to account for an evolving environment are still under active research. In the sense that methods to address this issue are not yet available.

    It is an extremely difficult task tbf

    Why SAG-AFTRA’s Streaming Revenue Sharing Proposal for Casts Was Flatly Rejected by AMPTP
  • It's a slippery slope. What about consultant developers that worked on the codebase of photoshop 10 years ago, whose code is still used in the current version? Do they deserve a percentage of the subscription? And architect who designed it?

    This is the reason studios can do this, because the contract was very exceptional, and they want to make it similar to any other industry, where freelances and employees do not share any long term revenue

    The Fall of Stack Overflow
  • They don't remove bugs, but it is easier to solve them without having to wait for some random guy to answer on stack overflow.

    I don't know now (I haven't asked a question in ages) but to get a good answer on stack overflow it used to take weeks sometimes

    GitHub issues are usually more useful

    The Fall of Stack Overflow
  • People isn't considering that documentation has greatly improved over time, languages and frameworks have become more abstract, user-friendly, modern code is mostly self explanatory, good documentation has become the priority of all open source projects, well documented open source languages and frameworks have become the norm.

    Less people asking programming related questions can be explained by programming being an easier and less problematic experience nowadays, that is true.
