Looks like someone asked ChatGPT, not their friend lol

“Human beings then do…”

maniclucky ,

That seems like a perfectly normal phrase…

Zorque ,

YES I TOO BELIEVE IT TO BE A COMPLETELY NORMAL PHRASE USED BY US AVERAGE HUMANS ALL THE TIME

Catoblepas ,

Especially in context, where it’s contrasting QA testers and ‘normal’ people.

It would probably take longer to prompt ChatGPT to write this than it would to just write it. It’s two short paragraphs.

Perfectly cromulent, even.

People speak weird all the time, and LLMs are trained on people. Some aren’t native speakers, some just like to omit verbs, nouns, or tenses when it seems obvious and they want to be expedient, some just do it for fun or laziness (see, l33t speak and or early texting, typos).

LLMs are trained on human input, so of course it on occasion uses our bad habits. Thinking like your comment suggests is what gets people who really wrote their own stuff in trouble, because people think they can identify stuff like this more than they actually can.

thrax ,

You do agree that it’s a weird way of saying it though, which is all I was making fun of. It’s similar verbiage an AI would use. I get it, but lighten up lol

Katana314 , to memes in Diet tip

Then you find all the large bottles of water have “fruit flavoring”, and it turns out that’s enough sugar to cause weight gain.

For this reason I prefer a good beer, sugar free, isotonic and the almost complete Vit.B complex.

Alcohol coverts back to sugar in your body all

Zerush OP ,
@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, but in beer are not much alcohol (4-5%), also beer with 0,9% or also without. Currently there are good brands with a fairly good non-alcoholic beer, since the manufacturing is not done as before, heating it to evaporate the alcohol (and the flavor), but the manufacturing is exactly the same as normal beer, with the only difference of using a yeast for fermentation that does not produce alcohol.

flamingo_pinyata , to memes in Colombus was a Bastard Man.

Preempting all the “he was a man of his time” apologists:

Columbus was arrested during his lifetime because his actions were considered awful by his contemporaries.

bumphot ,

Worst part is, he wouldn’t be arrested for genocide in 2024. He would probably be seen as lesser of two evils or something stupid like that.

Rhynoplaz ,

He’d probably be Trump’s running mate.

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

Specifically, Columbus was the first transatlantic slaver - although he went in the nontraditional West-to-East direction. And was imprisoned by Queen Isabel for that shit.

Marketsupreme , to programmerhumor in Interview vs Job

I code maybe 2 times a year at my job. Every other time I am doing some sort of paperwork to verify features work, or I am using fucking excel. It’s incredible.

quicksand ,

I feel you. I spent 48 hours this week streaming shows, waiting for a possible call to some in. I’m sure that’s some people’s dream job, but it drives me nuts that I have to be on site for no reason. I like the feeling I get from actually working and the sense of accomplishment it gives you

Marketsupreme ,

I love working from home. I game all day. But man I miss my service industry jobs for how much satisfaction they could give but the trade off is high levels of stress.

Hazzia , to programmerhumor in Interview vs Job

I was interviewing a couple of months ago, and one of the in-person technical interviews wanted me to write, on a whiteboard, a function that took in a timestamp and calculated the angle between the hands on a clock set to that time. After I did that they wanted me to reverse engineer the linux “tac” command for files of unknown size that I could not store the contents of locally, resulting in probably the most sinful piece of code I’ve ever written.

What really gets my goat about it, is that out of all my interviewing companies, they were by far at the bottom of the list, and was really only interviewing to get negotiating power. My company had worked pretty closely with them, so I was well aware of the poor treatment and absurdly high turnover rate, so they were really in no place to be picky. My top choice company’s hardest question was one of those basic college programming math questions where the answer is “use the modulus operator”.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

A lot of the time it’s just an ego trip for the interviewer to show off how clever they are and to gloat over the interviewee when they can’t figure out some really hard problem. This actually fits perfectly with the company having a toxic working environment. When you see these kinds of questions in interviews it’s usually an indication that these aren’t the kinds of people you’d want to be working with.

And no mention of ordering ; DROP TABLE orders;-- beers?

Iron_Lynx ,

I’m assuming the Lemmy system is Bobby Tables proof here 😅

kautau ,

That’s the security testing team, not QA

RecluseRamble ,

That joke is possibly older than SQL injection.

The engineer in the joke should have ordered some Bobby Tables for dessert.

SlopppyEngineer , to programmer_humor in When a real user uses the app

One user during the night shift tested every possible key combination on the computer to see what would crash our software, so it became a race between the programmer locking the thing down and the user finding new holes. It ended when the user resorted to sitting on the keyboard and breaking the keyboard that got their bosses involved who told the user to knock it off.

Sometimes the customer throws out insane shit you have to talk them down from though. m.youtube.com/watch?v=BKorP55Aqvg

Don’t talk them down, but also don’t follow insane shit

The main thing I hate about inflated expectations in job postings and interviews is I keep expecting to do interesting and challenging work. And the jobs keep being like “make a powerpoint and summarize your results to someone that does not know what a number is”.

What really gets me is when there’s no REJECT button.

Aside from uBlock on Firefox, I’ve been using Privacy Badger and also Super-Agent.
