Wait you guys are having success?

Usually the previous registrar will hold on to the domain for 6-18 months in case the customer wants the domain back. After that it’s automatically sold in bulk auctions. The companies, sometimes called domain squatters, buying those domains in bulk hold on to them often for years asking a premium price. The idea is once someone thought that domain name was valuable, it might be valuable again. They buy 1000 domains and maybe sell a dozen or so, but as operating costs are extremely low it’s still somehow worth it. It’s all highly automated at this point, so just a fact of life. I’ve seen domains being held for over 10 years.

Just so you know, in the game this meme is from the small dude beats the big dude. But the meme is used in reverse so much, most people don’t know or care at this point.

DELTA SHIIIIIIIFT HYPE

You spend all your time learning to become a doctor, working in sickbay, but do they call you Beverly the doctor? No. So you literally save the lives of your colleagues and lots of other people, do they then call you Beverly the life saver? No. But you fuck ONE ghost and all of a sudden you’re Beverly the ghost fucker.

Def a murder

Why didn’t Jesus ask the giant eagle to take the ring to Mordor?

Unfortunately it isn’t just the high end stuff which is feeling the crunch. These AI companies have bought up all the production capacity, which means there is less low-end stuff being produced. We’re still coasting on existing stock at the moment, but as that runs out prices will rise across the board.

Was it one of those lighting rams from the DLC? Man fuck those guys

Suleyman has been a known bullshitter for years now. Even people who agree with him wished he would shut the fuck up.

I think most people drink cum raw? Like what are you going to do, put it on your good cast iron and make scrambled cum for breakfast?

I totally get it. I’ve been critical about using AI for code purposes at work and have pleaded to stop using it (management is forcing it, less experienced folk want it). So I’ve been given a challenge by one of the proponents to use a very specific tool. This one should be one of the best AI slop generators out there.

So I spent a lot of time thoroughly writing specs for a task in a way the tool should be able to do it. It failed miserably, didn’t even produce any usable result. So I asked the dude that challenged me to help me refine the specs, tweak the tool, make everything perfect. The thing still failed hard. It was said it was because I was forcing the tool into decisions it couldn’t handle and to give it more freedom. So we did that, it made up the rules themselves and subsequently didn’t follow those rules. Another failure. So we split up the task into smaller pieces, it still couldn’t handle it. So we split it up even further, to a ridiculous level, at which point it would definitely be faster just to create the code manually. It’s also no longer realistic, as we pretty much have the end result all worked out and are just coaching the tool to get there. And even then it’s making mistakes, having to be corrected all the time, not following specs, not following code guidelines or best practices. Another really annoying thing is it keeps on changing code it shouldn’t touch, since we’ve made the steps so small, it keeps messing up work it did previously. And the comments it creates are crazy, either just about every line has a comment attached and functions get a whole story, or it has zero comments. As soon as you say to limit the comments to where they are useful, it just deletes all the comments, even the ones it put in before or we put in manually.

I’m ready to give up on the thing and have the use of AI tools for coding limited if not outright stopped entirely. But I’ll know how that discussion will go: Oh you used tool A? No, you should be using tool B, it’s much better. Maybe the tools aren’t there now, but they are getting better all the time, so we’ll benefit any day now.

When I hear even experienced devs be enthusiastic about AI tools, I really feel like I’m going crazy. They suck a lot and aren’t useful at all (on top of the thousand other issues with AI), why are people liking it? And why have we hedged the entire economy on it?

Can we get Hbomberguy punch through a wall and ask: “Protect them from what Tom? PROTECT THEM FROM WHAT?”

Fuck you actually listened to what I said? Danke!

Sure he’s done one crime, but what about second crime?

Yeah I had the same thing. All of a sudden the load on my server was super high and I thought there was a huge issue. So I looked at the logs and saw an AI crawler absolutely slamming my server. I blocked it, so it only got 403 responses but it kept on slamming. So I blocked the IPs it was coming from in iptables, that helped a lot. My little server got about 10000 times the normal traffic.

I sorta get they want to index stuff, but why absolutely slam my server to death? Fucking assholes.

May I see it?

Trump has a menu posted above the counter, McDonald’s style. Just pick what you want and pay at the register. We’ve got a special on pardons this week, and you can SuperPAC if you want.

Is Prince Andrew a leader tho? Leader of the loser society perhaps, but beyond that.
