Fight me. Also, one of these is a function

Math is a language and as such it’s less pure than sociology. The universe knows no numbers, it knows no addition not division.

Which is why you should:

1. Preallocate the vector if you can guesstimate the size
2. Use a vector library that won’t reallocate the entire vector on every single addition (like Rust, whose Vec doubles in size every time it runs out of space)

Memory is fairly cheap. Allocation time not so much.

Is this a reference to Bergson v Einstein?

If it is, why am I aware of it?

To be fair, Rust Evangelists are fucking annoying and it’s fun to hate them.

How do I know? Would you like to talk about lord and savior, Ferris?

At first I wanted to dismiss your worry and just call her dumb, but you may be right. I’m still not entirely sold on that, I think she can just be out of her depth, but what you’re saying would make for a very nice pivot to political grifting. What makes me skeptical of that is her old trans video, about sport. Though, now that I think about it, it used the exact same “both sides” and “insufficient data” arguments the new video abused.

I actually also wanted to link a video about free will and a livestream react but I couldn’t find a good one. Was that the one that made you quit?

I can’t speak to Sabine’s physics content but her social science oriented content is awful:

The capitalism video: short response, long react

The trans video: short response, long react

The neurodivergence video: very long response

You can’t apply computers to humans and expect good results. Period. Human made text is not easily parametrizable; much less someone’s manner of speaking or bodily expressions.

And human relationships as a whole, where at least two beings fundamentally incomprehensible to the machine interact, within a larger societal context that is equally incomprehensible? Acting like you can fit it into a neat model is peak computer science hubris.

And, in the end, it would only reinforce the preexisting notions of what is “healthy” or how others are feeling. I’m not sure that it applies to autistics as well as it does to neurotypicals. And I’m not certain if it applies to them either.

I’ll bite back >:3

I don’t think I know enough about anarchism to really dispute that. Though how much can the proletariat gain compared to the capitalists from AI? FOSS models are limited - I don’t think most people have supercomputers required for the training in their basements.

I will however question your denial of community. What definition of that word do you use? We’re not in a worker - capitalist relationship all the time. See: us right now, right here. See: me with other students at my university. Class distinctions are irrelevant to that.
Hell, Lemmy as a whole is a tech enthusiast community to an extent, though it being a lesser known specific form of social media introduces forces that make this community different in meaningful ways (e.g. it’s not corporate - there are fewer corpowhores here, it requires more effort to get in - people here will be on average more interested in actually contributing something meaningful).
On top of that, you mentioned FOSS models. Who were they built by? Corporations? Or a bunch of loosely associated volunteers who came together to work towards a shared goal? Is this not a community? (Those are actual questions btw, I couldn’t be bothered to check)
And with some form of a community comes some form of culture and morality.

As for additional forces even in workplaces, did you know most tech workers are men?

And as an aside, where have I said that it’s the tech workers who are responsible for bad, unethical solutions? I’m pretty I explicitly claimed the opposite

Yeah I’m gonna need some elaboration on that. How is AI anarchist? What exactly do you mean by anarchism? And how does this relate to my comment about the moral and intellectual (and thus cultural) tendencies in software engineering and the wider tech community?

random code monkeys aren’t evil or too stupid to figure out opt-in is more ethical

Coming in with a hot fucking take, they very much are that evil and/or stupid. They’re not at fault for how the software is structured, but judging by the crazes around tech hype (crypto, AI, NFTs) and my personal experience with average code monkeys, they would happily support “unethical” solutions (like opt-out tracking) if asked
