I recommend ad-blockers (ublock origin), I haven’t seen ads in like years on my devices.

Or millenia, if at all…

Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).

I’m really keen to see when this happens to Tesla, I’m thinking about shorting the stock, it’s so vastly overvalued, and there’s strong competition and sales are crashing everywhere (because of too much Nazi)

I mean yeah for non-white people maybe. But teenage German girls, that’s a novum

TBF there are ways to completely disable updates in Windows (I just did in my VM because it should literally only run 3 programs which are not working with wine)

I’ll use it also often. But when the situation is complex and needs a lot of context/knowledge of the codebase (which at least for me is often the case) it seems to be still worse/slower than just coding it yourself (it doesn’t grasp details). Though I like how quick I can come up with quick and dirty scripts (in Rust for the Lulz and speed/power).

Ughh I tried the gemini model and I’m not too happy with the code it came up with, there’s a lot of intrinsities and concepts that the model doesn’t grasp enough IMO. That said I’ll reevaluate this continuously converting large chunks of code often works ok…

Basically, the industry is not investing in new blood.

Yeah I think it makes sense out of an economic motivation. Often the code-quality of a junior is worse than that of an AI, and a senior has to review either, so they could just directly prompt the junior task into the AI.

The experience and skill to quickly grasp code and intention (and having a good initial idea where it should be going architecturally) is what is asked, which is obviously something that seniors are good at.

It’s kinda sad that our profession/art is slowly dying out because juniors are slowly replaced by AI.

but it can be a very helpful assistant.

can, but usually when stuff gets slightly more complex, being a fast typewriter is usually more efficient and results in better code.

I guess it really depends on the aspiration for code-quality, complexity (yes it’s good at generating boilerplate). If I don’t care about a one-time use script that is quickly written in a prompt I’ll use it.

Working on a big codebase, I don’t even get the idea to ask an AI, you just can’t feed enough context to the AI that it’s really able to generate meaningful code…

It’s definitely better than say a year ago, but it’s always a new small issue. Like suspend is not working, or shutting the monitor off crashes the graphics stack etc.

I really hope they get their shit together and build a solid wayland support at some (not too distant) time. But the amount of issues is small enough for me that I’ve switched to it.

Probably should’ve been “installing and using nvidia drivers”.

Certainly, and as I (suspect) to have AuDHD (ADHD diagnosed).

This combination is really difficult to see/diagnose, as these conditions somewhat cancel each other out. It took me a very hyperfocused deep-dive into all kinds of papers, to slowly come to that conclusion, that ADHD doesn’t explain my behavior alone. AFAIK this is in some regard an active research-area (how correlated are these conditions, are they even the same underlying condition?).

(I think) few psychiatrists really have a deep insight into that (and thus are accurately diagnosing these).

I would say foremost: strong opinions and idealism (very much correlated to ASD and ADHD) E.g. about the fucked up state of centralized social media controlled by right-wing billionaires.

Always when I talk to other people I don’t suspect to be neurodivergent, they just don’t really care about it, convenience is the driving factor.

I mean for me both works (Ritalin just is a lot shorter and more up and downs, generally less effective).

Though, I’m indeed prescribed Elvanse it’s basically the hyperfocus drug IME (YMMV).

I’m really productive with it (I’m a passionate programmer, which probably helps), but sometimes well a little bit too productive (burning through complex problems for > 10 hours the day, sometimes completely ignoring other stuff I should be doing as well, and am somewhat exhausted after somehow escaping that hyperfocus, or finishing the issue). As I got “smarter” through it and like a learn a lot, I’ll just accept this as a net-positive effect, I have to deal with.

But I have more control over what I’m hyperfocusing at (as I’m less likely bored and distacted), and try to “focus” this on issues that deserve this hyperfocus.

I mean, I think the count of neurodiverse people on lemmy is likely very high (for various reasons). And since it’s highly genetically correlated, likely also the grandparents.

Have you tried meds (stims specifically) ? That significantly increased my productive hyperfocus phases.

Additionally use Kawase-Blur with a lot of blurring, and this is a non-issue.

good god if this place isn’t unfunny as hell

I think c/lemmyshitpost quite funny, at least the posts itself, not sure about the comment-section…

leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics

Fair enough I think it’s also way to overloaded with the depressing evolution of american politics…

it will work for 99,9% without any flaw

Unfortunately not anymore.

And it doesn’t help, that Mozilla is also slowly turning towards enshittification… (since they fired all servo devs…)

Right, but you can also create accounts on different instances, so not really protected. Actually I think it’s very difficult to really filter bots when they’re done right, especially in times where LLMs start to be increasingly more popular.
