happily updates its birthdate to 2018-01-01 you can’t blame me now. Take that, woke people.

I block all ads. Content creators earn more than I do by shilling for any company giving them 2 cents. They can fuck right off if they start crying about adblockers.

This does not work because he will find a way to have 0 income (legally). I don’t know how we can make the billionaires pay, but we should tax the assets not the incomes.

I’m playing the devil’s advocate here because modders have been using other people’s assets with or without consents for almost as long as video gsme existed. Sometimes they make things of beauty like skyblivion and sometimes they turn the ugly snake lady of the last resident evil into shrek and sometimes they add big tiddies to every single NPC.

I agree with the previous comment: the modding community never gave a flying fuck about the creative design of games. Hell, often even devs of the game themselves don’t give a flying fuck when you see the “outfits” of some Korean MMORPG.

Do I think what Nvidia does is smart? Absolutely not. I think it’s hot garbage and I think Nvidia CEO will end up in prison when the bubble pops. But I think it makes little sense to jump on moral high horse to argue against what they are doing.

To me, the decision on how you want to play a game and how you want it to look is for the player to make and nobody else. You offer me a game, I buy it. It’s mine. If I want to play vanilla, I’ll do it. If I want naked big tiddies shrek instead of Mario, it’s my right. I bought this right.

Why? This is exactly the same creative intent, I just used a tool you do not like to achieve a similar result. You using someone assets to replace Skyrim NPCs with Shrek or me using genAI to do the same is quite literally the same “artistic intent”.

So if I want to implement an AI tool that would automatically makes every game look like shit, this is also my human artistic intent.

Yeah except this name was already taken and then it became SQL, dropping the English.

Even the start of your wiki says:

Structured Query Language (SQL) (pronounced /ˌɛsˌkjuˈɛl/ S-Q-L; or alternatively as /ˈsiːkwəl/ ⓘ

Replacing every NPC with a big boobies naked women is an artistic intent.

I agree with you. But the tool will output a basic code that mostly do what asked in seconds instead of tens of minutes if not hours. So now we could argue if the optimization you make are worth the added cost I’d writing the code yourself or if it’s better to have the tool to generate the code and then optimizing it.

This is a bold claim I will not make.

OK so… Here we are talking about myocarditis (at least in the first 2 articles listed), which is definitely not what you talked about in your first comment.

In the article you mentioned, I quote

“But COVID’s worse,” he added. A case of COVID-19 is about 10 times as likely to induce myocarditis as an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination, Wu said. That’s in addition to all the other trouble it causes.

So the vaccine has a small chance to provoke myocarditis (with very fast recovery) and not taking the vaccine has a much higher chance of provoking the same effects plus others much worse, including death.

Then, you list another article about possible autoimmune diseases induced by the vaccine. Again, not your intial topic. I’ll quote the authors:

Our objective is not to refute the importance of vaccines, but to raise awareness about the potential risks of COVID-19 vaccination. In fact, we believe that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the possible risks and encourage people to get vaccinated

Yeah. I won’t go through all the list, but we get the picture. Nobody’s saying to get vaccinated for fun. Every single sane person should definately be curious of mass vaccination campaigns. But it is important to carefully read studies and not jump to conclusions, be them in favour or against what we believe.

Sorry but no, this is not how it works. You claim things, you show proof of things. I don’t look it up for you. Provide sources.

Sources. You know. To show you’re not a tool.

I need to do some more squats if I want to fill this on my ass. At the moment I’m stuck at “open”, which is not the message I’d like to convey.

The others are busy working, they don’t have time to waste drinking coffee with execs

My take exactly. Especially the bits about unit tests. If you cannot rely on your unit tests as a first assessment of your code quality, your unit tests are trash.

And not every company runs GitHub. The metrics he’s talking about are DevOps metrics and not development metrics. For example In my work, nobody gives a fuck about mean time to production. We have a planning schedule and we need the ok from our customers before we can update our product.

Are you able to formulate a negative opinion about China? I can talk shit about USA, EU and China.

Are you answering the question
