Also, they often don’t read more than a few lines. I applied as a dev for a company which I had many friends inside. They all knew my skills. The problem was the high-level managers because they didn’t read the memo (and didn’t even read my CV), assumed I can’t do engineering because I was an academic at the time.

an engineering manager said during an interview, “OK, we’re going to build a To Do List app right now,” a process that might normally take weeks.
Tbf you can do that in one day with ChatGPT, although it requires some generic software engineering skills. But that’s the point.
Even if you don’t complete the task, the process of coding can prove your skill level in a positive way.

Sure, diff tools aren’t meant for this. At least you could try dedicated backup tools like borg.
Another thing: schedule the backup to happen while you sleep or have lunch.

14·2 years agoAs I always write, trying to restrict AI training on the ground of copyright will only backfire. The sad truth is that malicious parties (dictatorships) will get more training materials because they won’t abide by rules. The end result is, dictators would outperform democracies in terms of future generation AIs, if we treat AI training like human reading.

3·2 years agoI understand. I’ve been like you every now and then.
AFAIK after Getting Things Done appeared in the beginning of the email era, nobody found a definitive alternative for 20 years. And the GTD way of doing time constraints is “put it in the calendar”.
While each person has their own way of doing things, I’d be surprised if there were a revolutionary alternative to this.

Nah, we’ve had AR stuff for like a decade by now. That’s enough to call this article pseudoscience at best. It’s flat-earth level stupidity, not a valid speculation.

Adam Rogers is a senior correspondent at Business Insider.
Guessing he’s not a researcher. He has no idea what he’s writing. Just cherry-picking scientific articles to push his weird ideas. Might be a flat-earther or antivaxxer.
And Business Insider employs him as a senior correspondent. Fucking hell…

3·2 years agoI think the replies should mention the maintainers’ job. If they accept a PR they are supposed to understand the changes.
That said, AI-assistance on tests are as important as the code generation itself.
I mean, if you argue that way during the interview I’d pass… Nobody thinks you’re asked to do all that in a one-day interview.
