It’s a stupid thing that
It’s one of those places where yes, the spelling rules say otherwise, but the rule is fucking stupid so anarchy it is.
I’m more irked by “less”, the noun there is dollars so it should be “fewer”…
Anyway, they say it covers Node and to any question regarding Node the answer is “no”, I don’t need an AI to know webdev fundamentals
It seems that the test itself is generated by autoplag? At least that’s how I understand the PS and one of the comments about “vibe regression” in response to an error
Chat-GPT is more powerful than anyone on earth (if you squint)
xD
No sorry, let me rephrase,
Lol, lmao
How do you even grace this with a response. Shut your eyes and loudly sing “lalalala I can’t hear you”
Just the usual stuff religions have to do to maintain the façade, “this is all true but gee oh golly do NOT live your life as if it was because the obvious logical conclusions it leads to end in terrorism”
You must first read this 4500-word blogpost, and possibly one or two 3000-word follow-up blogposts”.
This, coming from LW, just has to be satire. There’s no way to be this self-unaware and still remember to eat regularly.
Not doing your due dilligence during recruitment is stupid, but exploiting that is still unethical, unless you can make a case for all of those companies being evil.
Like if he directly scammed idk just OpenAI, Palantir, and Amazon then sure, he can’t possibly use that money for any worse purposes.
Ah ok, I’m aware of what this is, just never heard “work trial” used.
In my head it sounded like a free demo of how insufferable your new job is going to be
it was a bit of squeeze to add even Gemma3n:e2b onto it
statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
This is so funny, I don’t think I’ve seen this before
Like imagine a cryptobro circa 2020 being like “no, we’re not early, this is actually the honeymoon phase and it’ll just get worse”
My immediate gut reaction to a rule as general as this is that there’s fat chance it’s universally applicable, there will always be cases where active would be clunky.
Like I can’t imagine an RPG protagonist exclaiming that “Someone trapped this chest!” instead of the 100% more natural “This chest was trapped!”
This article is wild already, on the first page there’s this quote
‘Do not use the passive voice when such use makes a statement clumsy and wordy. . . Do not, by using the passive voice, leave the agent of the verb vaguely indicated, when the agent should be clearly identified.’ [Edwin Woolley, Handbook of Composition, 1907, p. 20]
Emphasis mine on… a clear usage of the passive! In active this would have to be “when you should clearly identify the agent” or something of the like, the fuck, how hard is it to not expose your whole ass like this mate
Wait what, TIL there was/is a crusade against… the passive fucking voice?
Some people just need to invent problems for their life to feel meaningful, don’t they
so businesses and employees who get real value out of the stuff.
I have really bad news about what percentage that would be
Mods when a post escapes containment: No! No!!
Sickos like me when a posts escapes containment and they get to see the worst takes humanity has to offer: Yes… Ha ha ha… YES!
I’m sorry but what the hell is a “work trial”
Retail customers prefer payment processors for the ability to partially or totally reverse fraudulent transactions, though
Wait, but again, isn’t this the main thing that banks provide? Like I can call my bank and tell them listen, this transaction was fraudulent, and that’s it, it’s gone. They sometimes even call me first to double-check that a large-sum wire was actually authorised by me.
Either that, or live in some futuristic utopia like the EU where banks consider “send money to people” to be core functionality. But here in the good ol’ U S of A, where material progress requires significant amounts of kicking and screaming, you had PayPal.
Wait what? Can people in the USA not, em, transfer money? What do the banks do then?
Ye it was a real “oh fuck I recognise this nick, this cannot mean anything good” moment
Is this generated by a Markov chain? It’s incoherent, but in a kinda amusing way?
Is this you, disc horse bot?
