HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Americans kinda don't like pickpocketing ruleEnglish1·18 days agoEh. The person who makes the porch pirate videos hasn’t gotten in trouble yet.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto LinkedinLunatics@sh.itjust.works•Youth loneliness is cured by Adults going into the officeEnglish1·18 days agoIn my industry, it is very common. It is generally accepted that a large part of senior staff’s time is reviewing the work of junior staff to make the work better. A lot of that requires teaching junior staff how to perform the work correctly.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto LinkedinLunatics@sh.itjust.works•Youth loneliness is cured by Adults going into the officeEnglish2·18 days agoEh, it depends. I find that there is a benefit in highly collaborative projects or in an environment where training is a component.
For instance, a lot of data showed that junior staff productivity tanked as they didn’t have the mentoring opportunities that they would have had in a full remote environment.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Americans kinda don't like pickpocketing ruleEnglish2·18 days agoNo. Pickpocketers usually work in massive crowds in order to rob people. If a robber uses violence in a massive crowd, they are far more likely to be detained by said crowd even if they can knock out the person they are trying to rob.
Even threatening violence in a crowd could make people think you’re a terrorist, and the crowd response is going to be different than if you’re an unarmed pickpocket.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Americans kinda don't like pickpocketing ruleEnglish4·18 days agoThat’s basically how mugging happens in the USA. There are still some finesse pickpocketers, but most of them are only going to rob you by pulling a weapon out, usually a gun, and immediately threatening harm if they don’t get what they want.
And in some parts of the country, a significant part of the population is armed and legally allowed to shoot back.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Politicians are retreating from net zero because they think the public doesn’t care. But they’re wrongEnglish6·20 days agoI feel more like, for a lot of voters, climate change isn’t the reason to vote for or against someone while it absolutely a wedge issue for people in industries that cause climate change.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's next for the USA and its inhabitants?English1·23 days agoYeah. Trump can buy off police departments by giving them carte blanche over their personal conduct.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's next for the USA and its inhabitants?English4·23 days agoThey had to follow orders, but they did it in the minimal way possible.
They made sure the military looked like crap on parade. A lot of units weren’t in dress uniform and the marching was noted as sloppy where it looked on purpose.
Very little modern military equipment was used. That the US Army pulled out a Sherman tank shows what the military wanted to show off.
Also, over loudspeaker, they played Fortunate Son, which is an anti war song about how the rich don’t have to go to war but the poor do. That is not a song I would expect to hear at a military parade.
This was not a parade where the US military was showing off.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's next for the USA and its inhabitants?English4·23 days agoI think the big issue for Trump right now is the military. If you read between the lines of January 6, the military purposefully skipped the chain of command in allowing for the deployment of national guard troops. I wouldn’t be surprised if the military cut the President out of the chain of command at that time, especially as they got every former Secretary of Defense to defend their actions post instruction.
Trump and Hegseth have been trying a lot of carrot and stick incentives to get the military on board, but the recent Trump Birthday parade shows that there is still a deep disdain on serving Trump. You also have a lot of military strategists who likely see the writing on the wall regarding supporting Trump; Trump can’t give the military anything close to what the military already has.
Trump can clear out the civilian government, but the military is a lot harder to crack.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is that random movie that you watched multiple times throughout your childhood only because your family happened to own it's DVD (or VHS) ?English1·1 month agoOn VHS…
A lot of old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, The Lion King, Rocky Horror Picture Show
Things like that.
I’ve only played one character with trauma. Even then, I made sure it was thematic and still allowed for him to function in a party.
It also made him a never nude.
Like the rest of my body, I use a loofah. I have enough mobility to get to my entire back from one arm.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s an unspoken rule that absolutely everyone should know, but most people clearly don’t?English4·2 months agoDon’t stop in doorways when walking through public places.
People on Lemmy aren’t “normal” people and shouldn’t use their personal views as the norm.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?English1·2 months agoI’m asking if it worth spending more money on human developers to write code that isn’t slop.
Everyone here has been mentioning costs, but they haven’t been comparing them together to see if the cost of using human developers located in a high cost of living American city is worth the benefits.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?English41·2 months agoHistorically open source and closed source have done the same thing, so why is this one tool usage so wildly different?
Because, as noted by another replier, open source wants working code and closed source just want code that runs.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?English2·2 months agoThat’s basically my question. If the standards of code are different, AI slop may be acceptable in one scenario but unacceptable in another.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?English1·2 months agoSo I was trying to make a statement that the developers of AI for coding may not have the high bar for quality and optimization that closed source developers would have, then was told that the major market was internal business code.
So, I asked, do companies need code that runs quickly on the systems that they are installed on to perform their function. For instance, can an unqualified programmer use AI code to build an internal corporate system rather than have to pay for a more qualified programmer’s time either as an internal hire or producing.
A lot of companies are like this.
