Doesn’t seem to be catching on…

A simulation doesn’t have to be the actual thing. It implies it literally isn’t the true thing, which is kind of what you’re saying.

Simulated Intelligence is certainly more accurate and honest than Artificial Intelligence. If you have a better term, what is it?

I’d wager they don’t even know what you mean by “splitting an atom” and wouldn’t give a rat’s ass whether it released any energy.

Is that available somewhere?

Yeah I found the poster’s advice worked well. I.e. hold your finger between your eyes and the image and start focussing on your finger and them drop it away as the dots approach. It made me realize I wasn’t normally crossing my eyes (for say, magic eye images), I was looking past the image and kind of uncrossing my eyes.

With these ones, they definitely work by crossing your eyes.

That’s so weird, I always thought I was crossing my eyes when doing this…

Nah it’s just if-then-elses all the way down

I’m dead 😭 (and it just gets better from there)

I remember doing half to full day interviews back in the '00s.

This isn’t new.

The point is how arrogant this comic is. There are as many artists using AI as there are programmers. And acting like all programmers are just accepting it to send themselves “to the bread line” and that artists are somehow above that is arrogant, elitist, bullshit.

You won’t get that from artists

Bullshit. That’s so fucking elitist. Go ask all the people using midjourney to generate slop if they’re artists. They’re artists as much as vibe coders are programmers.

Kinda wish I had social media right now so I could tell DevilsPanties to go fuck themselves.

CEOs are demanding that programmers use AI, and measuring how much they use it. If they don’t use it enough, they’re in the next round of layoffs. Vibe coders are people who don’t know how to code, and probably aren’t working for a corp.

Seriously, attacking the workers? Motherfuckers.

A-10 Tank Killer was the bomb.

I wonder if 3d printed driver tips would be better for matching the material strength and reduce stripping. Or maybe they wouldn’t have enough strength at all and would just twist and fall apart.

I was also wondering how well printing drywall anchors would work.

Thanks! I didn’t know about that community.

TLDR: 3.11 is twice as fast as 3.10 at doing global name lookups, so an old speedup hack of aliasing a global function locally isn’t needed.

For example, when calling len() in a loop, going l=len, and calling l() in the loop was faster in 3.10. In 3.11, moreso in 3.13, it’s almost a wash.

However, the author says this:

Accessing functions through a module [e.g. math.sin()] or a deep attribute chain can still carry overhead. Creating a local alias or using “from module import name” continues to be effective in those situations.

But when I look at the numbers, I would say 3.13 is pretty close to making it an unnecessary optimization in general. A little subjective on how you interpret the numbers.

Great info, but this was like trying to use a recipe and reading the author’s life story to get there.

Yeah that was just the byline and I grabbed some excerpts about what triggered it.

Thanks for pointing this out though. Personally, I’m glad they’re taking action and coming at it from multiple angles.

Monopolies will do that.

I guess they shouldn’t have privatized hydro after all…
