I do know the feel. I was young once (seems a long long time ago). Reinventing the wheel was fun and challenging. I loved creating libraries. I didn’t actually know at the time that there were already existing libraries I could just use, this was the 90s. But it is hard to keep track of what library code exists in a project if you didn’t write it. Maybe assign them to review the library code and document it or something. Then they will know what it is at least.

Lol, the lead can’t spec the style, he just reviews the code and asks for changes. Sometimes it’s just that we already have a method that does a similar thing, so we should use it. Of course an AI wouldn’t know about that unless you gave it access to your code. And given how speed first AI companies are, I would never trust that data with them. But other times it’s just the leads personal preference.

That worst was just before it fell (2008), not when it was already low.

It’s been years… maybe we don’t need the costco size for the love of pete.

In my jobs there have slways been certain stule requirements to the code. AI doesn’t take those into account. So I would have to rework the code anyway. And of course there are the local libraries it know nothing about.

Lol, enshitification should at least take a few months… I hope.

In my professional experience, AI seems to be just a faster way to generate an algorithm that is really hard to debug. Though I am dev-ops/sre so I am not as deep in it as the devs.

See now, I would prefer AI in my toaster. It should be able to learn to adjust the cook time to what I want no matter what type of bread I put in it. Though is that realky AI? It could be. Same with my fridge. Learn what gets used and what doesn’t. Then give my wife the numbers on that damn clear box of salad she buys at costco everytime, which take up a ton of space and always goes bad before she eats even 5% of it. These would be practical benefits to the crap that is day to day life. And far more impactful then search results I can’t trust.

I personally like the idea of a real third party. But I think focusing on eat the rich won’t have enough draw, and will push potential supporters away. I think the focus should be more on government FOR the people. It’s similar, but wider in scope. Trump is doing america first… how about people first as the focal point.

I live in oregon, and I am looking to support progressive organizations more. Do you have any resources I can use to identify which organizations here are the real deal versus ones just pretending, or ones that are totally irrelevant?

The progressive part is a thing I think.

Lol. Fiber. Probiotics… modern medicine really is still in the dark ages.

A pile of shit… literally. I have IBS, so there is always more shit just waiting for the wrong time. Aside from that… extra clothes, see above. Lol

I’d say it will be nearly impossible to get an objective jury that also represents the defendants peers.

I remember at jury duty how they spend a lot of time telling us that we have to decide if the dependant broke the law specifically. Implying that we aren’t suppose to decide if they deserve punishment. But I am pretty sure that isn’t in the constitution. I think a jury should consider if the law is just. I believe you can get a mistrial if a jury member admits to such a thing.

I want to die in my sleep like my grandpa, not screaming for my life like his passangers… <joke>

Ah. Similar effect in reducing the net difference

If that lasr column is population, latino men are 1/7 compared to white men. So the larger difference is much smaller than it appears. And how did there get to be so many more latino women than men.

Far simpler than whateveryone else is saying. The best way to rally humans to your side is to give them a common enemy. So conservative politicians picked enemies that are small in number and told everyone how they are to blame for all that is wrong in the world.

The answer is simple. Propaganda. For probably thousands of years, religions have preached that hard work and sacrifice are virtues. They of course only pay off in the next life.
