Yeah, his brain injury wasn’t very mild

I found it boring and mostly dead. Most links had a dozen comments at most, almost all of them very short and very few of them thoughtful at all.

Reddit was doing fine before the influx from Digg. That’s one of the reasons people migrated to reddit in the first place - because it was already viable. That said, it was an influx of users, for sure.

Yeah, well, I judge you for participating in all those scat and cuck subreddits.

DISCLAIMER: This is a joke. I haven’t stalked them on reddit. Just being silly and want that to be clear. :)

SEO is like CGI. What you don’t like is bad CGI. What you don’t notice is good CGI.

There’s many abuses of SEO and many ways it’s used quite badly. What you don’t notice is when it’s done very well. It’s one reason that these days, a large part of the time the thing you search for is on the first page of results. If you know how to search well, SEO helps you find the things you’re searching for.

I know people will disagree and probably ridicule, but i’m not talking out my ass. I’ve been on the internet since 1994, and I remember a time when finding things involved sometimes scouring mange many pages of search results. SEO is one reason that’s less common. And I will say that search did indeed reach a peak and has come down a bit from there thanks to AI bullshit and things like Google’s bullshit about returning ads and prioritizing revenue over usefulness. But it’s still better with SEO than it was without.

Add that to the fact that best practices for SEO has of course changed over the years in ways that have also gotten better for end users in finding content.

And this is again not a full defense of SEO at all. There are many MANY bad actors out there trying to abuse SEO. But, again, that’s the bad SEO that you notice, not the good SEO that you do not notice. So THAT part of the “SEO industry” is absolutely caustic cancer, sure.

They certainly didn’t have enough coders for the project. It needed a hell of a lot more features more quickly.

It also didn’t take off with users. Maybe because of the features, maybe just standard network effects, hard to say.

I believe bots were part of the failure, but I don’t think that was the whole reason at all. I think that’s the part of the reason they thought they’d focus on.

It was not a successful site.

Fuck that. heh.

I use a TV for my computer monitor and it’s perfect. I do not use any of the TV features. And it pisses me off when something happens to lose my signal and it switches over into TV mode because it autoplays some free channel that spouts fascist nonsense. I have to poke around for the remote (which is always around but never close because I only need it every month or few months) so I can cut that shit off as soon as possible. heh

Any video I need to watch happens via my computer, thanks, where I’m in control.

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP don’t let them hear this!

…what am I saying? And idea like that they’ve had, just waiting for the price to be right. heh

Oh, so you don’t have anything to say. Gotcha. I’ll feel free to ignore the fuck out of you next time then.

Sounds like you’re 1) thinking about it and certainly 2) doing way the fuck more than most utilizing AI.

My approval means quite little, but you have it anyway <3

You’re contributing nothing to this conversation. How about making some sort of assertion or point to respond to? I’m not going to put in work to debate when I don’t even know what your problem with anything I’ve said is.

Security testing will be the most important.

I’ve done a couple of tiny projects that I didn’t feel like coding. So far, I have not been terribly impressed. Well, it is impressive that it can make something functional at all, and in one case, what it made was fine enough to use as the temporary project it was intended (sharing christmas music with friends/family - reading files from a directory and writing a javascript player to play them in a shuffled order).

In the other case, replicating a simple text-based old DOS game with simple rules (think a space-based game around the complexity of checkers or so), it failed to think of so many things that while it did what I told it for the most part, it wasn’t a playable game. It was close, and fun enough for a nostalgic moment, but I had to work with it on logic like “If two fleets of ships arrive at the same planet in the same turn, you have to see how the first battle goes. If the first battle captures the planet, the second fleet is not attacking the first fleet’s ships - we won the planet at that point”. Very simple concepts that sure, you’d have to think of as a programmer, but if you were telling another person about how the game should work, were things I felt another person would think about.

I hope AI works well for you. Anywhere security it needed like database sanitation or user credentials… I hope you test thoroughly and I hope you can tell it enough to remind it to implement things like sanitation and other safety measures. An app can certainly appear to be working, but give many many fronts for attack. That’s my main worry with AI code. I worry enough on the little projects I do if I’m being secure enough myself.

The more Trump is compared to a toddler, the more sense it all makes.

• shits his diapers
• lack of object permanence
• influenced by the last person he talks to
• very low reading level; uneducated
• throws tantrums

Bored bored bored. Bored of Iran.

…sorry, just having flashbacks to previous decades…

Not only that, but writing code is so much easier than understanding code you didn’t write. Seems like either you need to be able to trust the AI code, or you’re probably better of writing it yourself. Maybe there’s some simple yet tedious stuff, but it has to be simple enough to understand and verify faster than you could write it. Or maybe run code through AI to check for bugs and check out any bugs it finds…

I definitely have trusted AI to write miniature pointless little projects - like a little PHP page that loaded music for the current directory and showed a simple JS player in a webpage so I could share Christmas music with my family and friends. No database, no file uploading or anything. It worked decently, although not perfectly, and that’s all it needed to do.
