I think key context is that the guy is representing himself as having special knowledge about what Signal is doing internally and what they'll do next.

It's not "you bump into some rando on the street. Don't you know she's CEO of Signal??"

It's "you're giving a Ted Talk about Signal. The woman in the front row offers a correction and you're like, 'shut up, dummy.'"

I'm downvoting because of your edit complaining about down-votes.

Iran's not shooting missiles in defense of Palestine, just in retaliation for Israel shooting at them.

But there's certainly a level of "oh, is blowing up an apartment building a bad thing? Then WTF have you doing???"

Some people think, "oh this witch leaving a note means she's really powerless and I can keep taking the rhubarb." It's not going to be so awesome when she forecloses on his first-born.

To be honest, you sound like you're only just starting to learn to code.

Will coding forever belong to humans? No. Is the current generative-AI technology going to replace coders? Also no.

The reaction you see is frustration because it's obvious to anyone with decent skill that AI isn't up to the challenge, but it's not obvious to people who don't have that skill and so we now spend a lot of time telling bosses "no, that's not actually correct".

Someone else referenced Microsoft's public work with Copilot. Here's Copilot making 13 PRs over 5 days and only 4 ever get merged you might think "30% success is pretty good!" But compare that with human-generated PRs and you can see that 30% fucking sucks. And that's not even looking inside the PR where the bot wastes everyone's time making tons of mistakes. It's just a terrible coworker and instead of getting fired they're getting an award for top performer.

This reminds me of another post I'd read, "Hey, wait – is employee performance really Gaussian distributed??".

There's this phenomenon when you're an interviewer at a decently-funded start-up where you take a ton of interviews and say "OMG developers are so bad". But you've mistakenly defined "developer" as "person who applies for a developer job". GPT3.5 is certainly better at solving interview questions than 90% of the people who apply. But it's worse than the people who actually pass the interview. (In part because the interview is more than just implementing a standard interview problem.)

lol is it even worth tracking what's tariffed today?

It's a bad headline: seems easy to believe that there's just a lot more journalists around today than there were in the world wars.

Much better would be to highlight from the body of the article that the death toll is also more than have been killed in the invasion of Ukraine. That one's modern, well-covered by media, Russia has repeatedly targeted civilians, and Russia's been attacking for longer. So to have still killed more journalists makes it clear that it's deliberate.

The subtext of "anti-DEI", though, is that it is not possible to have two competent candidates where one is a woman/minority because conservative Christian English-speaking white men from wealthy families are inherently superior.

Weirdly, I haven't seen a lot of people who think The Gang in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia are cool role models. I guess the difference might be that Rick is canonically a genius where The Gang are canonically morons.

You should be suspicious of American-owned media, but it's not the case they they are running state-issued propaganda at all times.

Rather, the media is following the interests of its owners: American oligarchs. One of their primary interests is "get more money" and any headline that draws eyeballs serves that end.

So: at least 4 years, probably longer :/
