Was recently working with a dev who's using AI. Asked him a question because he (presumably) is more knowledgeable than me about some topics. He asked his AI and it gave the wrong answer. I just ended up figuring it out on my own.

Speaking as a developer, in my experience AI just makes you a worse developer. It's not reliable because it doesn't know when it's wrong. Which means every line of code it generates has to be reviewed and tested and possibly fixed just like your own. It's not faster, it's just outsourcing.

Literally singing this whole thread. Amazing.

You left out the words "In violation of the Constitution of the United States".

Why you don't have lawyers reviewing headlines that make legal claims is beyond me. "Temporarily detain" is arrest in the U.S. It is illegal for soldiers to do this in the U.S. These aren't opinions, these are verifiable facts. Report them as such.

across millions of accounts, designate certain higher-income families as support who can afford to keep working and support others (especially those in states/cities/jobs that don't need to be targeted for disruption). Plan it all out with math.

And the blowback wouldn't nearly be as bad if we used the tools of modern life. Create an app that everyone signs up for who will take part in the strike. Have everyone enter their income/bills, figure out the math to redistribute money

It's honestly yet another complete failure of the Democratic Party leadership that we haven't organized a national strike yet. Most of them are still just campaigning for 2026/28 instead of fighting for democracy now.

His face is visible. Get his face from the camera feed and identify him. Should demand his immediate dismissal from the force.

It's funny because in my head the different pronunciations are different rooms. FOY-er is small, and FOY-YAY is big like in a fancy house or mansion.

I think the actual design is regional too. Here in Vegas the 2 houses we've lived in the front door either opens onto a hallway or directly into the living room. But I'd guess east/north is more likely to have mud rooms on the other side of the front door cause of snow.

Also as an addendum, many types of crime (theft, insurance fraud) wouldn't be vastly less prevalent if it weren't for capitalism and the way it forces people into extreme poverty. Poverty is the root cause of most crime.

If it's an actual room, foyer. If it's just a hallway that leads to the rest of the house or the only separation is the floor pattern, then I'd call it an entryway.

Yea same. Hoax or not, it's better to be safe then sorry when it comes to passwords. Should be changing them every 6 months anyway for important things.

Also, begging people to realize that if they want more quality art of any time and don't like paying for it, then for the love of the universe support UBI and Universal Healthcare. Then creatives can create more art without having to turn it into a side hustle.

The Wasps are generously offering you the chance to have one of those viral "holding a cup of gasoline up to a wasp nest" videos. Just think of the content!

Difficult question. Personally, I avoid romance series where the same relationship is carried out over multiple books if it means the HEA is delayed, but I also don't generally read fantasy romance where I think that's more common. I like my romance to be single-book arcs.

Same, friend. It's been years now and I've basically settled for only having my wife as a close friend because I'm not convinced I could handle the emotional labor of forming other close friendships, even though I do want them.

... when in a lot of cases it's that we're desperate for the companionship. Personally, as a lonely teen, my entire internal fantasy about marriage largely revolved around cuddling because I was desperate to be touched with affection again.

One of the largest and most casual forms of sexism aimed at men is the assumption that we're all just lonely horny weirdos. Even the assumption that so many of us are focused on relationships purely because of sex...

Checking in, friend. It was such a wild thing to experience the last 15-20 years of people loudly blaming men for their lack of emotional intelligence after spending most of my life not being taught and being actively discouraged from having these skills.

The really messed up thing is that a large and vocal part of society directly blames us for the lack of these skills that we were never taught and actively discouraged (by society) from having until the last 15-20 years or so.

Even some men have developed that armor. As an autistic man, I developed it pretty early in public school because I was "different" and immediately became a target of bullies. To this day I still subconsciously gravitate toward women (in a non-romantic sense) for companionship.

"When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands - we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest."
Thank you Andor, for giving us this power and topical statement.

It's wild that anyone would rely on that cobbled-together plagiarism machine instead of a human who has years of schooling and experience on a topic.

Yea best explanation I saw when someone asked "why chatgpt doesn't say 'i don't know'" is that it literally can't because it doesn't know anything. It's just running an equation that says what the most likely answer is regardless of rightness.
