Anticorp , in Every Family Dinner Now

I have no other skills that would pay anywhere close to what this career pays. I’d need to go back to school and become a surgeon or something. I don’t think they let people become surgeons at 50 years old, and I don’t have the energy for an internship and residency. I’m just hanging on and hoping that it doesn’t all vanish in the next few years. I’m also spending time learning how to leverage AI, since I think that’ll put me a step ahead. Good luck to all of us, we’re going to need it!

I would love AI to replace me and anything I can do to speed that up I would do it.

TankovayaDiviziya , (edited ) in Every Family Dinner Now

In pharmaceuticals, AI will not replace workers in manufacturing or laboratory. It’s even far more useful for drug discovery. There is a recent report of AI designing a new and effective antibiotic, in which the research and development for such drugs have basically stopped since the 1990s because bacterial antibiotic-resistance tend too evolve too quickly for antibiotic discovery to keep up.

Edit: i meant bacterial antibiotic resistance

Didn’t ChatGPT become very bad recently? It used to give really working code but now it gets things wrong and doesn’t follow context. It gives code but when you ask it to improve by give more context, it ignores the previous answer and give wrong code.

It even sometimes answers by saying it does not have the answer for questions that it answered few months ago.

The latest update from openai calls this “laziness” and discusses a fix coming

PopShark ,

Whoa really? AI “laziness” is actually a really interesting concept imo

Evotech ,

Last time I asked a niche api question it showed me how to formulate the question so I could post it on this GitHub issues…

Clent ,

How is that a niche api question? That’s a public api that is scraped up.

It’s also a terrible way to ask the question. It’s how a clueless newb asks questions. Anyone hoping to help needs to at least know: What are you attempting to use the end point for and What results are you receiving vs expecting?

Black616Angel ,

Also also it told him to include the API key and used v3 in the URL.

LemmyRefugee ,

It is a perfect example of why you still need good programmers, that know what/how to ask.

RedstoneValley ,

That looks like advice on how NOT to ask for technical support on a public forum.

  1. Be generic and vague. Omit as many details as possible, this will only distract from the problem at hand.
  2. remember to include your private API key to share it with the world.

I keep telling the stupid thing to stop wasting time and space apologizing, and it won’t.

    Consider unionizing. If you’ve already checked out and are even mildly concerned about the next one, then there’s nothing left to lose

    xmunk ,

    There’s never a wrong time to form a union.

    Absolutely. And the best time is when things are good.

    HUMAN_TRASH ,

    I was thinking that, too. Overpowered, really?

    0x0 , in ifn't

    I propose a new, more threatening kind of control flow.

    
<span style="color:#323232;">do {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  /* something */
</span><span style="color:#323232;">} or else {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  /* you don't want to find out */
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>
    Strawberry ,

    this is just a menacing try/catch!

    gex ,

    Some C++ style guides suggest the following naming convention for functions that crash on any error

    
<span style="color:#323232;">OpenFileOrDie()
</span>
    xmunk ,

    PHP has the always wonderful (and perfectly functional) syntax of

    logUserIn() or die();

    msage ,

    Or Perl

    evatronic ,

    Where do you think PHP stole it from?

    msage ,

    Bash?

    frezik , (edited )

    Perl also has unless() for the very purpose in OP, which is a more sensible choice.

    Oh, and if you need to reinforce your belief that Perl is a mess, the single-quote character can be used as a package separator instead of “::”. This was set in the 90s when nobody was quite sure of the right syntax for package separators, so it borrowed “::” from C++ and the single quote from Ada (I think).

    That means the ifn’t() in OP can be interpreted as calling the t() function on the ifn package.

    The “::” separator is vastly preferred, though. Single quotes run havoc on syntax highlighting text editors (since they can also be used for strings). About the only time I’ve seen it used is a joke module, Acme::don’t.

    MonkderZweite ,

    I mean, it makes sense to call ComplainToErrorAndExit just ‘die’, no?

    Kissaki ,

    Personally, I like to call catched exception variables up, so for a rethrow I can throw up;.

    TwilightKiddy ,

    Except rethrowing an exception in C# is just throw;, anything else is a crime against the person who reads your stacktraces.

    Vorthas ,
    @Vorthas@programming.dev avatar

    One of the modules in a project I’m working on is called VulkanOrDie which always makes me crack up when I see it in the compilation messages.

    OpenStars ,
    @OpenStars@startrek.website avatar

    It’s funnier when you try to SysCallAndDie() :-P

    (that’s a real thing in perl btw - I guess that function didn’t get the memo)

    yum13241 ,

    Now what about GZDoom’s GoAwayAndDie();?

    The better try-catch. More intuitive if you ask me.

</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>
    jadelord ,

    It exists, kind of. Python has this construct

    
<span style="color:#323232;">for item in iterable:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">else:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">     ...
</span>

    which always puzzles me, since it depends on a break statement execution. I always have to look it up when the else block is executed.

    USA: The government is the corporations.

    Skynet: The government is an AI filled 4chan board.

    Borg: The government is the collective.

    You make the Borg sound appealing and reasonable.

    DO NOT MERGE

    There is a bug causing the government to manipulate the people to serve itself. The bug was discovered after the stock market implementation. Reverting breaks too many newer systems. Absolutely do not merge this into main.

    Merged and deployed in 2012. The Mayans were right all along.
