  • I know it can’t take my job because I tried to make it do my job. Spoiler, it can’t. And that’s because most jobs aren’t doing things that have been done so often that Claude has an example in its training data set. If your job is that basic then yes, an AI will take it from you. Most of the programming job is actually solving a problem within the context of the codebase, not the coding itself. I am working with old and archaic technology from the 60s to the 90s and let me tell you, using the official doc is way more factual than asking any AI model about information because it will start spewing bullshit after the second prompt



  • I mean… Yeah, it pretty obviously was a mistake from the beginning. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just as bad as the conspiracy theorists who think there’s a deep state controlling us with the 5g in the vaccines. Facebook don’t have any incentive to ban the word Linux, even they use it. It’s not like it’s a subject that would make their customers go away (like NSFW stuff for example). The shit I’ve seen people say “it’s probably Microsoft paying them to censor Linux users” as if 1. Linux is any threat to windows’s market share and 2. Microsoft didn’t intentionally keep Linux alive as a way to avoid antitrust lawsuits. Microsoft is big on Linux too with azure.









  • Every time I use python it makes me want to throw my computer through my window. Doesn’t happen with other languages. Pip fucking sucks it seems like every time I want to install dependencies for a project there is one that throws a compilation error when installing it. Like, why does it not try to download the version of the package that works with my version of python?? It doesn’t even tell me why it failed!!!
