TwoTiredMice

It's all good points! Seems like I won't run out of things to read here. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Our cat is not much into catching mice. We once lived in an allotment house, which is mostly a shed. We once had a mouse in our bedroom, and we had to wake up the cat. We placed her near the mouse, so she could see it. She just lied down and continued to sleep.

It's primarily Linux posts that's left haha. Luckily, I don't mind that, as I have recently started using Linux again.

Thanks! And thank you for a civil discussion. I will at some point look it up. If you have some resources you could recommend, that would be nice. I guess there a lot of good but also bad readings on the subject out there.

I've volunteered a lot before I got kids, where I was mentoring children of refugees. But having two kids under the age of 5 is a full time job beside my full time job, so currently there's not many hours left of the day to do volunteering.

But I do still try to do small things here and there to improve the world around me.

I believe not reading news is what got us here. Too many have given up and don't take a stance, which allows the situation to just get worse and worse.

But, I also stopped reading news. I stopped the day Trump won the election. The world is a shit show and I won't allow my mood to get dragged down every day. I have a family and kids and I want them to have a good life and a fun dad to be around.

If things like what happens with the ICE raids are happening, the Epstein files, dictatorship suddenly threatens everything I'm not burying my head in the sand, but I want to dose the amount of news I consume.

I definitely get that! And it is definitely an issue. Personally, I feel like the state of the world is constantly knocking on my door. It's almost claustrophobic. I vote for parties and politicians I believe in, I try to avoid supporting the ones who try to fuck up our world by not using their products or buy them.

But besides that, I not sure what else I can do, and I'm definitely up for suggestions.

Cat posts never disappoints. I should contribute soon.

Sure, but i've just reached a point where I don't want to get bummed out, everytime I open a social media app.

There must be positive things to talk about, and not just the enshittification of everything and the end of the world.

I have a filter on

• Trump
• Musk
• ICE
• Vance
• [Ai] slop
• Microsoft
• Grok

My All Feed is basically empty now or consists of posts with zero or very few comments. I love the filter option, but it has also made it quite clear what is being pushed the most on Lemmy.

Jeg tror mange danskere bliver ramt på varmen. Det er vores største bekymring her hjemme. Vi kører udelukkende luft-til-vand varmepumpe, og uden strøm, så er vi sgu på den. Det ville hurtigt blive meget koldt.

Uden at tænke over det, så gik jeg med samme i gang med at prøve at forstå hvordan det dog kunne være en dårlig ting..

Men dejligt, vi har godt nok brug for lidt lys.

Did these developers not have experience with AI?

This is from the article

But Rush and Becker have shied away from making sweeping claims about what the results of their study mean for the future of AI. For one, the study’s sample was small and non-generalizable, including only a specialized group of people to whom these AI tools were brand new.

I'm not sure focusing on one aspect to scope a reasonable and doable study automatically makes it “really low effort”.

You are right, but I believe they should at least have chosen another use case, to make it interesting. I wouldn't have needed a study to know that an AI performs worse than a developer in a project the developer most likely built them self. The existing project might have some really weird code smells and work arounds that only the developer on the project knows about and understand. There might be relevant context external to the solution. The AI have to be a mind reader in these cases.

But, if you gave the AI and the developer a blank canvas a clear defined task, I just believe it would be a more interesting study. *

It kind of sounds like they were just handed a tool they knew nothing about and were asked to perform better with it. A mitter saw is way better and faster than a regular saw, if you know how to use it.

*edit

To make my point more clear, I don't mean the developer needed to solve an issue that's not related to his daily work, but a task that's not dependent on years of tech debt or context that is not provided to the AI. And yes, by that, I don't believe code generation from an AI have a big use case in scenarios where the project have too many dependencies and touches on niche solutions, but you can still use it for other purposes than building features.
