The latency from using steam link or moonlight in my house drives me insane. I don’t know how anybody doesn’t hate cloud gaming solutions

You can and should make your point without denigrating labor movements.

Just FYI, using the term luddite derogatorily may not be as cool as you think it is. They were essentially an instance of organized labor flexing their power and not really “against technological advancement” like the term gets bandied about.

The problem with surveillance tech is that even if it was initially implemented with the best intentions by good people that aren’t seeking to abuse it, it can change hands.

The end of the world narrative pushers are actually the “AI safety” people that work at the big AI companies, and people like Huang himself that like to boost completely made up narratives like “the AI threatened us when we said we’d turn it off!” (Invariably if that happened it’s because they… prompted it to…)

I am 100% with you. I am so sick of LLM shit clogging up the feed

Did you yourself make a request to it or just set it up and not check it? My horrifying guess it that if you use SNI in a request every server in the middle could read the subdomain and some system in the internet routing is untrustworthy.

Unexpected???

People will literally do anything to avoid rtfm

No, you’re an asshole because you’re grouping people with their oppressors. Cloaking yourself in a faux civility and saying all opinions are equal is not cool.

The fun thing about agnostics and atheists that exhibit “zealotry and hubris” is they’re almost always victims of extreme religious environments that got out and want to help others, only to have people like you group them with their previous oppressors.

A little stronger wording than I’d normally use, but fundamentally my opinion. Any religious person either is incapable of or does not care to base their actions and opinions on reality, and that proclivity will manifest in other aspects of their life.

It’s interesting that all the devs I already respected don’t use it or use it very sparingly and many of the devs I least respected sing it’s praises incessantly. Seems to me like “skill issue” is what leads to thinking this garbage is useful.

Yeah if anything all the people screeching that you have to adopt now or you’ll be replaced by those that do just destroy their credibility.

Even the benign psychological manipulation away from just starting a game and enjoying it that is achievements is annoying

It’s almost like all the hand wringing about generations, immigration, race, sexuality is a distraction from rich people fucking everyone else over

The CEO is the face. The board is involved in decisions of this magnitude.

Silly that it has to use hedge language like not ready “yet” and “premature”. These executives fucked up and deserve to be roasted. They didn’t make an innocent mistake. They were grossly incompetent and should be losing their jobs for not doing even the most basic due diligence before making decisions that were not only bad for the affected employees but for their customers and the company itself.

Do you think there is such a thing as …

I think exactly the same thing as I said before. Maybe the people that are really good at it are naturally gifted to some degree but the main bulk of their skill is putting in the time. The people that say “oh I could never draw” or “I could never play an instrument” are both doing themselves a disservice and minimizing the time an effort that the skilled people put into it.

Are you really good in every single field that exists?

Of course not. I’m talking about other professional software developers when I say they don’t put in the work. You’re putting words in my mouth.

Btw, if someone tells you blah blah blah

Oh fuck off. I never said I was making a snappy comeback. You’re just making shit up about me in your head.

Smart people like to claim that “it’s all just hard work”, mostly as a kind of humble-brag

Usually when we say that it’s in response to someone that hasn’t put in the work saying we’re smart as a way to justify continuing to not put in the work. I spent the first several years of my professional career learning outside of work and still keep tabs on technology in a way that others don’t. My skill level is because I methodically cultivated it over years. Maybe I’m “smart” or maybe I’m not, but it’s upsetting when someone acts like I was just born good at technology when I spent a lot of time and effort to get this way.
