  • Also, another thing to consider is whether there’s other people around and what their gender is. Consider the scenario of me (a man) walking down the street at night and there’s one person around that I need to pass by to get where I’m going.

    If I’m constantly moving my head to look around at everything, I’m going to look really shady and make other people worried. I’m just trying to get somewhere, so I’d rather not bother people, which means it’s better to just look ahead and kinda ignore them, and trust that my peripheral vision will pick up any actual threats.

    That all being said, this experiment wasn’t set up to consider that at all. Especially since the study is from Brigham Young University (ew), and at a spot on campus referred to as “Rape Hill”. So thinking this much about the study is probably a waste of ti.e






  • Why would experienced devs join a vibe-coded project that barely works to overhaul it? Most of the time it’d be quicker and easier to start a new project from scratch with the same goals but coded competently.

    You’re bending over backwards just to come up with a plausible-sounding excuse for vibe-coding. But unfortunately, “plausible-sounding” isn’t the same as “plausible”.

    Vibe coding might be “good enough” for a tiny private project for someone who doesn’t know how to code and isn’t interested in learning. But LLM’s aren’t good enough to build usable architectures.

    And all publicly available human-created code was already trawled years ago, and the creation of more is slow. LLM’s can’t get significantly better at coding by just throwing more data into their training because there is no more data left that isn’t already in the training.

    Another thing to note is that boomers have probably been exposed to more lead (via tetraethyl lead being added to gasoline) than any other generation. While Gen-X’ers were around for the peak, they didn’t get exposed to nearly as much buildup before the ban.

    So now we have a generation that have always been entitled shits, with tons of lead-caused brain damage, and they’re the ones that have been put in charge.

    We need more millenials in leadership positions as soon as possible. I sympathize with Gen-X for never really getting a turn at the wheel, but we need to get the influence of lead out of the government asap


  • I was there almost 15 years and it is mind-meltingly toxic compared to lemmy.

    And yet it’s fristratingly addictive at the same time.

    Sometimes I have to go back to ask a question on r/skyrim mods and I always make the mistake of doing a bit of scrolling. Thankfully I always catch myself 20-30 minutes in, but that’s still time out of my day that I don’t consoder well spent.

    Lemmy has no algorithm to feed that addiction, and I really appreciate it


  • You get the oddball standout asshole from them on occasion.

    That being said, I don’t think they pop up at a rate that’s abnormal compared to the other big servers. Though their assholes have a specific attitude that you can kinda tell they’re from Blahaj without looking, though I can’t put my finger on what exactly that is.

    Then again, assholes from Lemmy.ml also have commonalities, and I assume the same from sh.itjust.works and Lemmy.world. Maybe it’s them catering to sexual minorities that makes them stick out, but again it’s really hard to explain what’s different
