That’s roughly when the “subscribe to our newsletter” popup shows up. That darkens the background. You probably just have no foreground (if I may be so presumptuous as to guess).

All the cool communists are out in the real world, robbing banks or something.
Within the context of the article, I think it is completely fair to say that creating code is cheap compared to the cost of understanding that code.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Local news did an entire segment featuring a guy who's mad about having to drive more carefullyEnglish
13·13 days agoDepending on how you frame it, that happens all the time. For example, a speedbump causes speed reduction, but at high speeds it causes (momentary) loss of control. Or narrowing the road, which means less margin for error.
People will drive their cars as fast as feels safe. By introducing hazards, you make people slow down which increases safety, but each feature in isolation could be said to be dangerous in some way, y’know?

Programming@programming.dev•I keep tripping over “true, false, true”English

Programming@programming.dev•I keep tripping over “true, false, true”English
3·1 month agoIndeed. There will be lots of times when you’ll be reading code without a while IDE attached. When doing code reviews in the browser, when looking at patch files or git diffs in the command line, when browsing code files on some git host, or when you’ve gone to a confrence and you left your laptop in the hotel room because Steve from accounting assured you it would just be a meet-and-greet with clients, but then some production bug hit and every odd-numbered request is returning a 401 for some reason, so you need to borrow Steve’s laptop to fix this.

11210·3 months agoPeople across the world already very well know that Trump is unpopular. That is not the problem. The problem is that you guys continue to just allow that guy to run your country.
As long as there isn’t massive civil unrest in the country, it looks like from an outside perspective as if you’re just letting him do whatever he wants without much resistance. Writing some insults isn’t going to change that perspective.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?

We can argue about about how long you can squat someone’s house before it’s morally acceptable to keep living in it, and how much the crimes of the parents transfer to the children (if at all), and those are conversations that require some nuance.
However, specifically when it comes to Israel, you have to remember that the state was established within living memory. Many of the stolen houses were stolen by people living in them right now, and they’re actively being stolen. You frame it as a completed and long past action done by our forefathers, but this isn’t really accurate. It’s an actively ongoing process, right?
The problem is that there has already been very heavy meddeling, for as long as the Israeli state has existed. In fact, the existence of the state is a direct result of that exact outside meddling.
It’s not exactly ‘fair’ to put someone in another’s house, give them a gun and then say “further meddling is not allowed”.
Besides, no country can practically exist without “outside meddling”. What about international trade? If you trade with groups aligned with one side but not the other, is that meddling? What about diaspora? There’s a lot of displaced Palestinians and a lot of Jews who would both like to move into the same place. This has to be in part facilitated by the host countries, right? And there are many other small and large decision you have to make.
What you’re asking for is:
- Practically impossible.
- Enabling an ongoing genocide (since that is, seemingly, how Israel is currently aiming to achieving “peaceful homes” for themselves).

science@lemmy.world•Schrödinger’s 100-Year-Old Color Theory Finally Completed by ScientistsEnglish
3·4 months agoLots of scientific progress was made before the capitalist mode of production, so “laboring to produce capital” is anachronistic.
The core point you’re making is correct though. Only certain classes of people (rich people and monks) were freed up by the surplus of production of what is required to sustain life.
We cannot know, in the same way we cannot know that it doesn’t contain code that is hand-written on graph paper and scanned in via OCR.
The standards for code submissions for the kernel are extremely high, and their review process very strict and complete. There are no barriers stopping LLM generated code from entering the code base, but the barrier of entry for the code quality itself is so high that you have to submit code at the quality of a seasoned and competent engineer.
Ultimately, does it matter that the code was LLM written if the quality is sufficiently high?
The problem with this approach is twofold.
- The AI doesn’t know what anything is either. It can annotate faster than you, but if it is all wrong, that doesn’t help.
- The primary reason the code is bad, and something the AI is particularly weak at without a human doing much of the thinking for it is architecture. Working your way through ship-of-theseus-style isn’t going to address the fundamental reason the code is difficult to work with. The architecture.

Depends on what your goal is. Winning? Not losing? Having fun? Personal growth? Depending on what you’re doing and what your circumstances are, you need to take different approaches.
To actually answer your question, neither action is inherently good or bad, and so neither ‘wins’. Attacking a child is bad, but defending a rapist is also bad. Reverse those positions, and suddenly they are good.
