  1. A Coddy #Developer #Survey found that 80% of #developers find #AIcoding tools #addictive, leading to #workaholism and #burnout. While these tools are #useful, developers worry about becoming #overlyreliant on them, weakening their #problemsolving skills and expanding their #workload. Additionally, the need to verify #AIgeneratedcode adds to the workload, creating a #verificationdebt that can negate the time saved. zdnet.com/article/i-cant-stop- #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

  2. Yet another cool and useful package from @coolbutuseless: {minixml} lets you build xml files in a programmatic way. I see good use for it in one of the internal packages at work... coolbutuseless.github.io/packa #RStats #XML #cool #useful

  4. In light of recent events, I thought it might be helpful to share this here:

    It's a list of various organisations that can provide support to victims of a hate crime.

    #STForum: What is a 120-year #life for?
    "what we believe a human person is worth when he can no longer contribute economically. Taro Aso’s infamous “hurry up and die”🤨 comment is not an outlier.. #Singapore has among the most sophisticated #ageing infrastructures in the region. What we have not yet built is a compelling account of what a #longlife is for – one that holds firm even when the person in question is no longer #useful by conventional measures"🤔

  9. Genuine Stupid Question:

    Aside from - and I know that's enough reason itself - but aside from the resource drain to run data centers - are apps like "Neurolist" as ethically evil as "generative AI"? Do they perhaps use fewer resources for NOT being generative? I'm honestly getting lost in the murk of everyone calling everything "AI" and is it an actual LLM or maybe some basic organizational commands… Just curious / wondering / perplexed.

    (What was the app / website someone built? Gremlin ToDo or something? That didn't seem like EVIL LLM AI… But I could be wrong. That's why I'm asking.)

  10. "Useful and meaningful.

    Useful is simple. Did it move something forward? Easy to answer. Whereas meaningful is slower, harder to pin down and doesn’t always look much.

    I default to useful because I can justify it. It feels productive. Meaningful stuff is harder to explain,... it can slip out of the picture."

  12. My first REAL project release :D

    Hyper specific, only for Polish people. Python program to grab PM10 and NO2 data from your local air quality station via GIOŚ API and notify you through Ntfy if their concentration is higher than the limit recommended by GIOŚ (or set by you).

    It even has a binary release!
