The section “other people also search for” is complete garbage.

I was searching for a used car part in my native language and Google mistook it for a name. No, Google, other people do not search for "car part net worth and marital status ". Why are you showing me this crap?

Carpenter Jacob Part was my hero, growing up.

SonnyVabitch ,

The English word ‘speaker’ has multiple meanings. In Hungarian, there is a different word for a speaker device that casts sound (hangszóró, “sound caster”) and Speaker of the House of Parliament (házelnök, “president of the house”).

Still, when googling one, you may get results for the other. 🤷

xmunk ,

That moment when you realize Google might be translating searches into English before doing a “sounds like”.

victorz ,

Swedish: högtalare, “high talker”, pretty much “loudspeaker”.

Seems to have been fixed.

That's why I use Copilot.

Asked it for the official documentation, got a link to the /current/ documentation's chapter on operators. Then asked for the heading about the IN operator and it gave me all four of the numbers. No need to wade through outdated or irrelevant results.

xmunk ,

I’d strongly prefer to have working search engines.

JohnOliver ,

Do you have to pay for it? And will you pay for it when you have to?

Hey, at least it’s not ads?

I only use it for web stuff but W3Schools is usually pretty solid so I wouldn’t be mad having that as a first result.

kbin_space_program ,

Bing also grabs w3Schools as the top / AI result. However, the AI result also lets you swap to a Stack Overflow result.

And it has a bar across the top linking to different parts of the official website, including the landing page for the documentation.

NigelFrobisher ,

Funny, we all used to avoid W3Schools because it was a heavily SEO’d ad farm, but nowadays it’s actually a Web 2.0 oasis in a hellscape of infinite scrolling AI bullshit. I’ve found myself using it over SO since their surrender to OpenAI.

That’s not what the meme is about? It’s about how everything is marketed as AI these days, even if there’s no machine learning involved whatsoever.

My favorite example

TrickDacy ,

But 9/10 Lemmy users are super pissed about anything “LLM” (I don’t dare say AI, since what we have now is NoThInG mOrE tHaN a PaRrOt)

Awkwardparticle ,

It is not machine learning and LLM that pisses off Lemmy users. Its the application of said technologies. I don’t give a flying fuck what people are doing with ChatGPT, its novel. I want a generative AI that can help me code.

TrickDacy ,

I don’t agree. Every time I have tried to point out that GitHub copilot is a helpful tool, the trolls come out of the woodwork to tell me I’m wrong and a shitty developer

Awkwardparticle ,

My team or I have not had very much luck with it. We were spending a lot of time picking out bad generated code.

TrickDacy ,

I have luck with it daily. I wouldn’t want to return to writing code without ever having little shortcuts builtin to my workflow throughout every day. It certainly saves me time and I have some other teammates who agree. Some luddites on the team also, but I don’t let their fear bog me down. I think everyone who is strictly against copilot actually has failed to ever try it

more like marketing bad, which i wholeheartedly agree with

Omgarm , in What it's like to be a developer in 2024

On duckduckgo it was only the the 4th result! Pretty decent.

Had to test with Kagi also, leads with official documentation, after that tutorials and unofficial things. Nothing obviously irrelevant. The only thing with the Kagi results, was that there were a few very simmilar official documentation links (for different postgresql versions) at top. But, still good search results. Not sure why anyone is still using google, when there are quite a few better alternatives availale

Kidplayer_666 ,

The power of defaults, comfort, not wanting to pay, and probably worse non English results

antihumanitarian ,

Note the versions, none of the results give you the official operators page for the current version, 16. They give 9, which went EOL in 2021.

tyler ,

Can’t tell if you’re joking. The first three aren’t even the official docs and the official doc links are to an incredibly old version.

@Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world avatar

Man, I love BIG servers, I hate the power bill that comes with it.

Fine, my broke ass only has the budget for a few tiny computers anyway. I pick up too many hobbies with the excuse that it’s a great skill for future sustainablity like self hosting, programming, 3d printing, and micro soldering.

webghost0101 , in What it's like to be a developer in 2024

Huh, thats weird. Your chatgpt output looks just like a google result page.

Vince , in What it's like to be a developer in 2024

I usually go to tools, and the option for results in the past year.

Technus , in Mini-computers capped out too soon man. I hate miniaturization! Make computers big again!

You know there’s nothing stopping you from buying a server rack and loading that bad boy out with as much processing power as your heart desires, right?

Well, except money I guess, but according to this 1969 price list referenced on Wikipedia, a base model PDP-11 with cabinet would run you around $11,500. Adjusted for inflation, that’s about 95 grand. You could put together one hell of a home server for that kind of money.

ChubakPDP11 OP ,

My man we have UNIX because PDP-11 was expensive!
