41·4 days agoHave you ever talked to anyone in “healthcare support” over the phone? That shit could be improved by switching 100% to AI right now. It’s a revolving door of people who don’t want or understand the job and don’t give one quarter of one shit about it. We could improve central scheduling overnight, at least AI might pretend to look at provider notes.

It means this person is outrageously pretentious and also not great at written English.
If you try to unpack this word salad, basically this person is of the opinion that you should protest dirty and smart (I get some hard lefty, “mop” kind of vibes), as opposed to just showing up in huge numbers once in awhile not getting anything done. This person then makes an offhand assertion that the system is rigged against this kind of protest in some double standard way. It seems like they think this is not effective, and also that the people that rise to the top in these situations are not the kind of people you probably want in leadership.
It makes me think the person feels they are much smarter than they actually are. Instead they ended up looking kind stupid in a “I’m in high school and I am very smart” sort of way.
At least that’s what I got from reading it twice and that’s as much effort as I have to give it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How common is it for people in your social circle of relative/friends to own their homes? (What country btw?)
7·9 days agoNorthern Indiana / Chicago, millennial. Basically everyone in my circles own. Have one friend who rents (lives in NYC).
It seems not too crazy to own in IN, but the problem is you have to live in IN.

1·25 days agoUnless that’s how people are designing front ends for models, it literally DOESN’T work like that. It works like that until you finish training an embedding model with masking related tasks, but that’s the tip of the iceberg. The input vector, after being tokenized, is ingested wholesale. Now there’s sometimes funny business to manage the size of a context window effectively but this isn’t that unless you’re home-rolling and you’re caching your own inputs or something before you give it to the model.

Not sure how you meant it, but every turn of “magaites” is overwhelmingly dumb tbf. I take and agree with your point, but try again and try harder.
I couldn’t say. There is an older guy in my group who calls it “Jason”. Also we have 2 guys on my team named Jason and the back end jason now goes by J-Sahn. I have always read it j sahn and I have no idea why.
Oh I get it!
How do you pronounce “e”?
How do you pronounce “yes”?
Now put them together for “eyes”!

Nah, I got a gig that lets me work how I want within reason. I’m just sympathetically neurotic.
I think that depends a lot on what you’re expected to do. I’d write an email like this if I were expected to be an effective developer on a Windows system. I use Linux because I use vim, not the other way around. I can’t WSL for linux to use tmux or something and be nailed to one laptop screen, it just isn’t worth it. Besides the whacky clipboard problems, it’s just not sustainable to be permanently containerized in your host system IMO.
Now if you are using an "I"DE like vscode or something it’s maybe not so bad because it at least plays on windows. Gvim is trash, and the whole reason to really lean in to vim/nvim is to sew your development environment right to any other program you need.
IDK, there’s a dollar value beyond which I would not care, but it’s a gross amount.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an online service you happily pay for?
3·1 month agoChess.com. Its totally worth it for the game review which is the part of it I’d consider a “service”, but there’s other good stuff in there if you like to play.

2·1 month agoThe joke is that stopping discussion is healthy (which was obviously wrong). So I said I was stopping you–and thus the discussion–and then showed it was healthy with a salad.


There is a data point missing here.
Do the same study and give some an LLM, some no LLM, and some a type A subject matter expert for reference. It may also matter if this person is a friend coworker or random passerby, but I would be willing to bet money that the same effect is present to a lesser (but still statistically significant) degree.
Maybe a future study can be further refined to build some scaffolding for more effective teaching/learning “on the job” or in general.
