Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code?
By “good” I mean code that is written professionally and concisely (and obviously works as intended). Apart from personal interest and understanding what the machine spits out, is there any legit reason anyone should learn advanced coding techniques? Specifically in an engineering perspective?...
Layered encryption?
If we consider information to be safe if we encrypt it (e.g., text in a file, encrypted with modern strong encryption), would it be safer (as in harder to crack) if we then encrypted the encrypted file, and encrypted the encrypted^2 file, etc.? Is this what strong encryption already does behind the scenes?
What are the differences between unsaturated, saturated, monosaturated, polysaturated, and transaturated fats?
And how are those differences relevant to our nutrition and diet?
Are there any good critical thinking courses online?
I’m interested in helping friends tell the difference between fact and fiction, truth and hearsay and general stuff like that that gives peace of mind that they can defend themselves from gaslighting, makes life easier to live, and harder to be taken advantage of by propaganda. Just a few examples....
Anyone else get random cancellation emails from onlyfans?
Now, I never created an onlyfans account, but today I got two emails from them: one asking to confirm an email account, and one confirming its cancellation. Was that a hack going around or just bad luck on my end? I already changed passwords and everything, just wondering if anyone else had a problem like this.
(Win 10) Move all windows of a single programme to a different screen?
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this?...
How can I recreate my grandfathers voice?
I have several tapes (yes actual cassette tapes) of my grandfather reading a novel....
How come zombies seem to have sharp teeth while the rest of their body is rotting away? Or is it just fiction?
How come it seems that there are little to no serial killers who are women in the modern age? Are they not caught or is it just the men that make the news?
How do you join a different instance?
Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?
On the one hand I like GOG because it has no DRM and has better prices (in my country) than Steam and I have the feeling that on the one hand it follows more the open source philosophy than Steam itself, but Steam has helped enormously to play Windows games on Linux, so I haven’t really made up my mind....
How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way?
If lemmy.world became the biggest in the fediverse with a user base that could rival Reddit. Would it become monetized?
Who had a tougher bid for re-election? Jimmy Carter in 1980 or Donald Trump in 2020?
How to subscribe to 4chan.org/g/ rss feed with more than x replies?
I know about boards.4chan.org/g/index.rss existence, but I’m looking for less shitposts and more useful stuff from there. Do you have any rss feed you could share or know how to get it?
With the amount of microplastics we're carrying around in pretty much every tissue in our bodies, is our weight measurably different as a result?
If it is, I assume it’s measured in thousandths of a gram or something, but are we all nevertheless a wee bit heavier than we ought to be?
How the fuck do you meet new people?
I just got out of a 10+ year relationship a couple months ago, rather suddenly and not of my own volition. I do not fault my former partner, she did what she felt she had to do to be happy. Unfortunately, turns out, I didn’t really have any friends of my own, I was just a hanger-on to her group. I have done a bad job of...
Looking for a specific channel on YouTube
Long shot but I hope someone might know. The channel hosts parodies of superheroes and superhero tropes through the medium of motion comics and is characterized by its dry humor and sarcasm, reminiscent of the channel “How it Should Have Ended.” Videos often involved a competent woman parody of Superman acting alongside...
How many comics need to be sold for a story to be considered a success?
(US question) If the Presidential race in the USA was between Kamala Harris and Nikki Haley how would the campaigning go and would it be more civilized and less low brow comments on both sides?
Or is the GOP too far gone to ever be civilized again? Not to leave out the name calling and bringing their kids into it too.
How can I register to vote?
My US residency is a mess....
Why does trump try to alienate black voters than expect them to vote for the dickhead? And why use Kamala's race as even a talking point let alone even a thought?
Out of curiosity if a woman is in control of her own body. If the SCOTUS did not reverse Roe than why can't a woman in control become a prostitue?
I'm not a good liar but need to pretend I like my current job and not rant about how much I dislike it till I find a job I like more. How do I make my coworkers and supervisors believe this lie?
I’m a unionized nurse and basically I’m on an unenforceable PIP because management simply wrote what I, according to them, do wrong and gave me the filled form, but without conducting an interview with me, the union wasn’t contacted and they even didn’t ask me to sign it. Union already told me this is not enforceable....
