Given the sources don’t really back up the content, I think it’s safe to say this is slop. You should probably proof AI slop before you white knight it next time.

thesmokingman@programming.devto DevOps@programming.dev•Your ideal DevOps programming language?6·7 days agoThere isn’t a universal language to fill all these needs. DevOps covers a ton of areas so you want several tools in your toolbelt instead of just one (granted if you’re an incredibly talented greybeard bash can honestly do everything and do it fairly fast; I’ve never taken this analysis too seriously).
- bash is something you need for every day tasks and quick tooling to improve everything else in this list
- POSIX tooling is something you should know well to improve everything else on this list (eg awk is something you’ll use a lot in bash)
- Python with or without types will handle more advanced scripting in a cleaner and more maintainable way for your team (explaining bashisms slows things down. Does your junior know what
:
is or why we currently prefer$()
over backticks?) - Go is something you want to use for containerization and scaling servers
- Rust is something you want to use for process work and embeddables
Each of these languages meets some of the requirements on your list but not all. That’s because nothing is a silver bullet. Depending on what you’re doing, you might even want to introduce, say, Java or C# in your pipelines if that’s what you’re maintaining. DevOps should support not alienate and overall it needs to be flexible.
thesmokingman@programming.devto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Languages with upper and lower case letters should just pick oneEnglish1·8 days agoIn all fairness, you’re able to distinguish the difference in speech without capitalization using context clues. There are certainly situations where you might have to ask for clarification; while reading you just have to figure out context clues like someone figuring out the meaning of a new word.
thesmokingman@programming.devto Games@lemmy.world•The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead'English12·11 days agoCan you help me understand which political petitions meant to document real constituent desires don’t require doxxing yourself? I don’t believe I’ve ever participated in any citizens initiative that didn’t require personal information.
thesmokingman@programming.devto Games@lemmy.world•The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead'English14·11 days agoI don’t follow this argument. In this context, proprietary code is work product that has value to its owner. Often large swathes of said work product is reused across games so the theory is that releasing the work product means your competitors can make your work product. I do not understand how wrapping someone else’s work product in your own work product doesn’t require them to first release their work product.
Note I don’t necessarily buy the company mindset on proprietary code; I explained here because I don’t understand where you’re coming from.
thesmokingman@programming.devto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Anyone else not understand the hate for hydrogen peroxide?5·13 days agoThis isn’t recent. This has been an ongoing thing for at least 20 years (if not longer; that’s just the earliest I remember having this convo). Yes, it cleans the wound by killing things but it also fucks up the healthy tissue around the wound (see other comments for a more scientific explanation). Having some in a medical kit is useful for other activities such as diluting with water for an ear rinse, diluting with water for various mouth stuff (rinse not swallow), and some skin treatments (again, diluting first).
thesmokingman@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Uber, Lyft oppose some bills that aim to prevent assaults during ridesEnglish12·16 days agoCalifornia is not Colorado nor is it federal. I don’t think you understand the things you’re saying since you don’t seem to grasp, as you put it, the regulations are “often state-specific.” You linked California, not Colorado, which this article is in reference to. Even in the beginning, you didn’t seem to grasp why regulation and some level of understanding about what people should or shouldn’t do is reasonable to have defined. Good luck!
thesmokingman@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Uber, Lyft oppose some bills that aim to prevent assaults during ridesEnglish31·16 days agoIn the US? I’m gonna need to see some statutes there bud. Last I checked there are no federal requirements and as far as I can tell there are only insurance requirements in Colorado at the moment.
thesmokingman@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Uber, Lyft oppose some bills that aim to prevent assaults during ridesEnglish7·16 days ago- What about ride share companies that aren’t Uber or Lyft that don’t have safety programs?
- What requirement do Uber or Lyft have to maintain good safety after, say, they own the market?
thesmokingman@programming.devto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Your guide to a new Music Streaming service (Reworked)18·21 days agoTidal is owned by Block, the owners of Square, which is the biggest POS vendor in the US. If that’s not big tech I don’t know what is.
thesmokingman@programming.devto Television@piefed.social•‘Taskmaster’ Is a Mischievous, Unpredictable British Panel Show1·24 days agoI think Game Changers is the only real US answer to UK panel shows. I want more of them. I think some other exists; they do not show up a ton in any of my feeds or circles.
thesmokingman@programming.devto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•"Together we'll make X great again!"6·25 days agoYour last sentence is somewhat naive. It can often place the onus on the wrong group. People don’t want to engage with the XLibre dude with open minds and empathy any more because back when they did, he didn’t engage with an open mind or empathy. You can only do that for so long before you have to isolate and protect. Quarantine, deplatforming, and isolation works when someone refuses to engage. At some point you have to be intolerant of intolerance if you want to get anything done.
Scope some literature on deradicalization. There is only so much empathy you can give someone who thinks an entire group of people don’t deserve to be human and, more importantly, there has to be a cutoff when you’re not getting empathy back. You’re right, empathy and an attempt to understand is important. Don’t forget many people in marginalized or attacked groups have to defend their existence every single fucking day so sometimes their empathy is pretty drained.

thesmokingman@programming.devto Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Open Source washingEnglish21·27 days agoNot yet, not for some time, and certainly not at single local GPU running at minimal use. Both you and the commenter I was responding to seem to forget how massive the @home projects were.
thesmokingman@programming.devto Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Open Source washingEnglish33·27 days agoBlockchain mining, completely open source and run on local GPUs, is no worse for the environment than gaming via this logic. I think that’s easily disprovable.

thesmokingman@programming.devto science@lemmy.world•Now that a genetic disease has been fixed with CRSPR we have a duty to iraducate all physically harmful genetic diseasesEnglish1·1 month agoI must be pulling a red herring then
thesmokingman@programming.devto science@lemmy.world•Now that a genetic disease has been fixed with CRSPR we have a duty to iraducate all physically harmful genetic diseasesEnglish31·1 month agoA point I haven’t seen yet is just general eugenics. I know OP says “no appearance or mind” but genetic diseases directly affect those. Take deafness, for example. It can be genetic and therefore could be “fixed.” The deaf community would be fucking furious (cochlear implants can be incredibly controversial). Blindness can also be genetic. Cleft lips and club feet can be genetic (or influenced by) and they can be really gnarly so why wouldn’t we fix those? And since we’re fixing things, why not fix autism and Down’s syndrome (I know we said no mind but those are truly game changers!) and oh shit now we’re in Gattaca. Eugenics is bad. I won’t fully commit to a slippery slope because that’s a fallacy; I will say very convincing science fiction has been written about this and I have seen nothing under capitalism (or communism!) that convinces me that wouldn’t happen.
thesmokingman@programming.devto Ghazi@lemmy.blahaj.zone•‘Who Can I Talk to That Has a Human Heart?’: The mom of a trans girl pleaded with a New York Times not to use audio captured in a vulnerable moment.52·1 month agoMaybe you should read the article.
The current thread is about AI slop, not DMS. You helped create the branch we’re on. You said “people on Lemmy can’t tell slop from useful info.” I said “this is AI slop because the sources don’t match,” assuming that I wouldn’t have to explain the hallucinations (fabrications is a bit better here) because that usually comes with slop. Since the current thread is about whether or not slop is meaningful, I have no idea what you added by saying “hey I attacked someone for not liking AI then attacked someone else for a refutation of the AI that I was white knighting.”
