Unrelated to the thread. Thats a great username. [Object Object] haha.

It was fun in college and a bit after. You dont lose anything learning it.

I personally like python more for scripting an MVP out really quick. Ocaml has some nice algorithmic stuff and I remember a UI library that made it fun.

Welcome!

Sounds good let me know how it goes. Its been 2 years for us and while the initial projects were somewhat vibe coded. Theres just more software doing things so ironically it means much more work for us.

We went through 1 months worth of tokens in 5 days. It was a 4k bill lol.

I remember most people had more copies than real. But ironically the people wiyh the biggest collections would often buy the offical releases.

The solar punk instsnces are pretty cool.

I personally like it over here on piefed.

Sdf is awesome.

A lot on docker and yunohost.

Gotosocial is the most used service for the family.

Why is this labeled ai?

One final note: mastodon/gotosocial complains about lack of metadata:

Which is what I would expect.

So to summarize. Yes its all over the place with descriptions and video data all over the fediverse. It would be nicer if people put something in the description. And if fedi clients can maybe auto-push the description on the video to the post like it occurs on peertube/piefed that would be nice as well.

Interesting. So in the original feed it attempted to pull inthe metadata:

looks like it was not successful. Maybe a different language?

On piefed it was also not successful:

So the metadata didnt show up.

https://kbin.earth/ showed the reposts:

Its all over the place. I can see this being frustrating!

I womder if this is a limitation on the lemmy side. Piefed and mbin(?) And other fediverse services have more info when viewimg videos and pulls in metadata at time of run. Youtube/peertube/raw videos. Users may be assuming the same info is making its way into the community.

Is there a good example somewhere of a blind link i can look at? We can make a comparison and/or comfirm the issue.

I wonder sonetimes how many are bots nowadays. Im 20+ yr experience at this point and my last two jobs came from referals. Im cali so maybe different markets? Thanks for the perspective!

I feel you.

Not sure about Meta but Amazon is the worst ! I used to tell them I was not interested, only to have another recruiter a month later cold call me/email at least 3 times a week and just keep going. After the 6(!)th time, I started auto-blocking and auto-filtering their emails. I have hundreds in my mail box over the years. I think they get reciters by the thousands then lay them off after a bit of time.

I hear ya. Ive had to do training at work and its surprising how little training some have in a field. But after a couple of months of training, they are 1000x times faster at doing things. They WANT to do a good job (most of them anyways). but most places ive worked at expect people to be able to do everything while getting paid entry level.

Sounds like its hard all around!

Id love to see the breakdown. I remember seeing some big tech companies that are taking on more liabilities right now and profits are temp down last quarter. At least the BIG companies.

I wonder if its in direct reaction to:

1. Token price increasing (AI is more expensive than last year)
2. More AI projects need more human maintenance
3. More automation means more people that need to maintain said automation
4. Inflation and computers increasing in price ironically make it more expensive for everything including labor. Which makes margins smaller for companies. Companies that would have made money with less labor costs find themselves paying extensive SaaS/automation/etc… costs.
5. People using AI may be more expensive because…they use AI on the company dime.

Just a couple of ideas floating in my head. I am kinda neutral to AI in general. Its like a hammer to me just a tool. Good at the small scale stuff but proven pretty terrible on the maintenance side. At work AI got expensive causing management to rethink the AI strategy. Again I may be cherry-picking, but it sure feels like the above is true.

Heh yeah pigeonholing is both good and bad.

I used to do a ton of EDI work and worked with a bunch of 60+ devs working with COBOL. Theres were the term golden handcuffs come into play.

I wonder sometimes because the BIG companies announce layoffs…those people don’t just sit there. They get other jobs most of the time.

Ive seen it locally where a big company removed close to 1000 people and a bunch of smaller places ate them up really quick. And then because they are smaller, they don’t have to announce layoffs later on (in theory?).

So it looks like the area is going through some kinda downturn…whereas whats actually happening is headcount is exploding all over with smaller places.

I wish I studied economics. This looks fascinating. Maybe someone else can be-bunk what im saying.
