I presume you know you’re lying, that’s why you named yourself jerkface

I wonder if people who think AI is “just a bunch of if statements” think programs work like Penny thought they did

The driver could have taken over at any point.

Leaving the highway, they could have taken over

Leaving the road? They could have hit the brakes or taken over

Following the rails? They could have turned away

I presume the car was following a lane along the railway, they could have stopped it

These people were just going along with whatever their $60k car suggested

I use keepass, it’s a little more work than many closed source ones, but it’s only as online as you want it to be, and runs on anything

My “smart” bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you

I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi

Its app hadn’t been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again

You lost a bit of credibility when you misspelt atoms

I think you’re fairly safe here. People using AI tools professionally generally like them, only overuse and careless use are seen as bad here

Out on general Lemmy though you’ll get down votes for comments in favour of AI

Imagine getting that design past review

The insecurity of SMS is the inability of telcos to secure number porting. If someone wants to compromise your shit, they can easily steal your phone number, if your phone number is sufficiently public

One defence is to have a second service that is only used for authentication, and never share the number except to those providers that need to message you codes

And also Dr Frankenstein working on his monster, though he worked in a lab attached to his apartment in a city

Dr Frankenfurter OTOH worked in an isolated gothic mansion and made a much better man, not monstrous at all

• XKCD for Frankenstein (mobile view)
• Another XKCD for Frankenstein (mobile view)
• Wikipedia for the other doctor’s movie
• OTOH stands for ‘on the other hand’

Luckily I don’t need to read or write bytecode and all that matters to me is the syntax

You do get the if in the middle of stuff though in the form print(debug message) if $debug

I think before that even

Remember the phrase “it’s not in-pattern”. Another one is “it’s possible, but expensive”

My bg3 character is female. She was in slacks until act 3 where she could finally have a dress

We looted everything. I feel like there are two dresses in the game: the robe Gale wears and a white dress you find in a Balders Gate house near the end of the game

I’m worried that when the bean counters see the price difference between AWS and self hosted stuff they’ll find AWS more expensive and we will have to deliver a year’s work for 10 scaled agile teams again, but in our machines

It’s nice that they brought Minecraft to practically every device. It sucks that they didn’t replicate redstone

Perl.org now has a stylised camel emblem

CPAN.org doesn’t use a camel

You clearly were not a perl programmer 20 years ago
