I uploaded the first two videos in the Real-world gRPC with ASP.NET series: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
I'm planning to record more videos about further topics, such as contract management, interceptors, documentation generation, and more. #aspnet #grpc #dotnet
Real-world gRPC with ASP.NET - YouTube
In this video series we'll learn about using gRPC with ASP.NET.

I have not been interviewing candidates at work for a while. This is the first time I have to review the submission of a take-home test since LLMs became widespread. This is a nightmare.

This Abbott and Costello routine probably used 100 gallons of water and could power a household for a month.

And again, the interface for AI is all wrong. It should not be programmed to give definitive answers.

The model for this case should be the Librarian in Neil Stevenson’s Snowcrash.

I’m very, very happy to share that I have just joined the core Go team at Google to work on the Go runtime and compiler!

I’ve been pitching in as an external contributor since 2018, but now my very enjoyable hobby is becoming my day job 😅

(Also, my name is PJ 👋)

AI is removing the middle class of software engineering
AI makes projects with weak engineering culture fail much faster.

Totally agree. There's obviously more to it than this, as Kate Manne acknowledges, but the case she makes here is pretty compelling. (See also: Zuckerberg's pervert glasses and "masculine energy", and Altman promoting parenting by AI.)

Stunning

For all the racist dickheads out there who forget that Africa is part of the Mediterranean and "ancient world" - I'm on page 23 of the Iliad and Zeus is off to party with the Ethiopians....

This politician in Canada used ChatGPT to write his speech and then just directly read out loud the AI prompt without realising it, announcing to legislators “Here's a more natural, flowing version of that section that reads like a legislative speech rather than a series of short points." Glorious!

I've spent the last week testing out Kagi.com thanks to @doctorow.pluralistic.net's recommendation, and it's honestly wild to use a search engine that works again. I'd forgotten.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her. Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART. Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN? In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child. Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION. SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND. In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted. Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.
Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate. Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future): At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1) Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5) Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3). Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed. If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

@nluewmist / I’m finally reading Dune. This quote which in the first few pages hit hard; “once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only let other men with machines to enslave them.”

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital
Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his arms Article screenshot that says: The most extreme examples of Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of self-fragmentation. Magherini describes the case of a 53-year-old German man who was hospitalized after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient felt "an attraction closer and closer to an intimate sexual arousal of ambiguous nature that invaded him and made him feel good and bad." Unmoored and distressed, he sought medical attention. After treating the subject's initial episode, Magherini writes that he came to recognize his latent homosexuality. Another case...

“A.i.” reproduces all the sexism and racism and bigotry of its inputs. If you use it uncritically, you’re accepting and furthering all that bullshit.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
