Both can be true.

Preserved and curated datasets to train AI on, gathered before AI was mainstream. This has the disadvantage of being stuck in time, so-to-speak.

New datasets that will inevitably contain AI generated content, even with careful curation. So to take the other commenter's analogy, it's a shit sandwich that has some real ingredients, and doodoo smeared throughout.

Shift-left eliminated the QA role.

Now we have AI generated shit code, with devs that don't understand the low level details of both the language, and the specifics of the generated code.

So we basically have content entry (ai inputs) and extremely shitty QA bundled into the "developer" role.

As a 20 year veteran of the industry, people keep asking me if I think AI will make developers obsolete. I keep telling them "maybe some day, but today's LLMs are not it. The AI bubble is going to burst, and a few legit use cases will make it through"

I learned to touch type quickly mostly out of necessity to communicate quickly in online games before voice chat was a thing.

In general, digital privacy invasions have been very successful because of attrition.

Most people don't care, those that do hold out, but then every competitor does the same and you no longer have any real alternatives. Eventually, the hold outs need to replace [car in this case] and the sting of the objectiknable change has faded, and they just move on.

Rinse and repeat.

We lost the fight for meaningful net neutrality, basic digital privacy rights, broadband limits, etc.

They'll win this one too. Eventually. Your phones and IoT with microphones are already doing it.

Yep, my comment was tongue in cheek. It's a useless result and only sort of makes sense as an overly reduced summary that has lost vital context.

The other reply is the obvious answer. Each answer is from a different viewpoint from a different user.

It's worth it if you accept the post pandemic, post crypto prices to be the new normal.

I'm still rocking my old 980ti because I refuse to pay $600 for an old, mid tier card.

There's nothing wrong about it.

Neither is worth it. But if you have unlimited money, XTX is the better card and therefore a better deal. But if money is a factor, get the XT because the performance per $$$ of the XTX isn't worth selling a kidney.

Or like the golden age of instant messengers, where you had multiple choices of multi-client apps like Trillian.

You still had individual accounts for each IM platform, but a single app to chat on any platform.

That's a pretty weird rant on EVs.

The carpool lanes were very under utilized. Hybrids and later EVs were also slow to be adopted, and the state wanted this adoption accelerated due to air quality and just general environmental consciousness.

So the state decided to add the carpool benefit, which solved two problems.

Now that EVs are far more abundant, that policy is getting revisited. Which is fair, because the carpool lane can only support so many before it just gets clogged like the main road. And people don't necessarily need the encouragement to get EVs anymore.

Nothing is permanent.

She died 2 years later. Assuming she was old and/or in poor health, I can absolutely understand not wanting to move. It's especially stressful for the elderly who may have lived there for decades. And it's not like she could take the money into the afterlife anyway.

What he means is he's trying to funnel his wealth into assets that aren't regulated and may be difficult to seize.

You know, to hide his money from the victims that he owes hundreds of millions to for his criminal behavior.

Rofl, like Unix OSes never have problems. Even developers, who are among the most tech savvy users, tend to drag their feet on installing updates unless forced.
