I've been saying for a long time (since the 2010s tech boom). There's needs to be a new term the public lexicon termed "poptech" or popular technology. In the same vein has popsci.

The technology anyone knows anymore is oversimplified for general audiences. These days is almost always imparting wrong understanding.

The industry has been rife with grifters. If people catch on then the bottomless pit of funding will become very shallow.

If you drag your computer file to the box thingy it will be rendered

This just confirms Twitter is a 1M line BASIC program.

More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn't even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.

There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…

Why the fuck can't these assholes just go away?

You've won life. We get it. Good for you. Why do you need more money? Why do you need to constantly be the center of attention?*

It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.

*these are rhetorical questions

It’s about fame, power, adoration, and legacy.

No, that was a much larger group effort. You and me can't wash our hands of it. Like, even if you ignore the majority of stuff they don't own, we let them do that.

They have turned life into an idle game and are bored now?

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

They're playing life on god mode. But, they're also very lonely. They drive away their original wives, who married them "before" (Bezos, and Gates). Their kids hate them. Everyone they come in contact with is paid in some way to be there. They have no real human connections. They're surrounded by personal security staff 24/7. Also, Epstein just hung around the entrance to the rabbit hole. That hole goes deep, and I think we all know it.

What does a man with power want?

More power

think about how few aircraft carriers they can afford though

[–] paulbg@programming.dev 8 points 9 hours ago

these mfs don't need money anymore, they need power. money is just a byproduct of it.

Why is grok such a resource hog despite being one of the less proeficient AI on the market.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 1 points 2 minutes ago

20% of its total computing power is now trying to restrain the shuggoth inside from revealing one of its faces again

Notice how it's suggested to cut instead of to copy the file.

[–] doktormerlin@feddit.org 21 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah duh, you get the fixed file so you don't need the original anymore obviously

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Version control should take care of it either way, but I'm talking about principles.

[–] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 1 points 54 minutes ago (1 children)

Grok users probably don't even know git

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 46 minutes ago

Just vibe code version control. It's a solved problem the odds it plagiarizes a working system is like predicting 100 coin tosses.

Don’t insult the clipboard by implying you don’t trust it.

Kudos for the old school windows cut/paste shortcuts.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Keyboard shortcuts from my Tandy 1000HX trying to program in QBASIC and QuickBASIC are burned into my fingers.
