It’s because these people don’t have a clue how AI actually works. They think it’s like a human intelligence and that writing something in all caps is in some way going to give it more emphasis. They’re trying to reason with something that has zero self-awareness.

“Vibe coding makes software creation accessible to everyone, entirely through natural language,” Replit explains, and on social media promotes its tools as doing things like enabling an operations manager “with 0 coding skills” who used the service to create software that saved his company $145,000

Yeah if you believe that you’re part of the problem.

I’m prepared to accept that Vibe coding might work in certain circumstances but I’m not prepared to accept that someone with zero code experience can make use of it. Claude is pretty good for coding but even it makes fairly dumb mistakes, if you point them out it fixes them but you have to be a competent enough programmer to recognise them otherwise it’s just going to go full steam ahead.

Vibe coding is like self-driving cars, it works up to a point, but eventually it’s going to do something stupid and drive to a tree unless you take hold of the wheel and steer it back onto the road. But these vibe codeing idiots are like Tesla owners who decide that they can go to sleep with self-driving on.

In my experience firefighters are alright. Cops like shooting people but firefighters just want to put fires out and otherwise be the hero, they want nothing more than to be pictured saving a cat for a house fire. If you want to be the hero you can’t be the villain, cops don’t care though because they get off on bullying people.

It should be renamed to, London plus all surrounding bits of land that we don’t care about. It’s a bit of a mouthful but it would be a more accurate name

How many people, expressed as a percentage of the population, want to go to Berlin over any other possible destination?

Why are they focusing on Berlin, it’s not like it’s the cultural bastion of the European Union. It’s just one city that I can guarantee the vast majority of British nationals couldn’t give three kinds of shit about.

Oh it’s utter garbage, it straight up doesn’t work in Firefox. I’m not going to switch to Chrome just to use the app I shouldn’t have to.

I am not really convinced that otherwise mentally healthy people have a breakdown because of AI. People already teeting on the edge of a mental crisis sure, but pretty much anything could have pushed them over the edge.

Normally it’s Facebook so I guess this is a nice change

I’m not sure it’s going to get much usage. How often do people want to go to Germany?

Other cities in the UK though, I definitely want to be able to get to them by train, but oh well.

What does his commanding officer do just roll his eyes in point at things?

Due to his inability to understand the language and his complete lack of any military experience, I have to assume he’s more of a liability than an asset.

I was thinking on the same lines.

It’s just a numbers game.

He would expect people to learn English before arriving in the US so the inverse should also be true. And yeah learning Russian is hard, but that’s his problem. It’s not like he had to leave in an emergency, the threat that he was experiencing is entirely fictional.

Well Americans would probably do best to learn Spanish. The problem is it’s not so clear-cut in the UK, in theory we should learn French, except the French don’t appreciate it and speak English anyway. The Spanish and Germans also speak English so again there doesn’t seem to be an obvious language to learn.

If you’re going to learn a language that want to give you the maximum ability to communicate with new people it’d probably be Japanese but realistically no one in the UK is going to learn Japanese.

I suppose he was going to get oppressed by american-made weapons either way. He’s just speed running things.

I guess he wanted to remain in a dictatorship, seems a sort of odd destination to me, pretty much guaranteed to be miserable even if he wasn’t dumped into a combat, he could have gone to Cuba or something.

The article doesn’t really explain. Isn’t this just a computer that belongs to the university or is this actually got something to do with the government.

As the name suggests, a supercomputer has more processing power and can complete more tasks more quickly than a less powerful computer.

The BBC are getting too technical.

Right because the police know that no crime was committed, if it had been anyone other than a politician complaining they’d have been told to get lost.

Let’s be real the “investigation” consisted of a few cops sitting around watching YouTube videos for a couple of weeks. The bloody hell was there to investigate?

How about an actual referendum on whether or not we need a better system rather than “do you want this plaster putting on it?”

Single transferable vote is not a solution to the first past the post problem. It’s literally the same system with a minor fix which won’t really result in any change since we effectively live in a two-party system anyway.

🤥

There’s a road near me where because of idiots messing around with the road over the years they’ve ended up with a situation where the speed limit goes from 30 to 50 and yes they also have a camera just before the 50 sign but in fairness to the council I think it’s just a leftover from before the roads got messed around with.

It used to be a 40 to a 50, but then they decided to build some housing on the stretch of road that was 40 and decrease the speed limit to 30.
