  • I’ve done a few courses and learned the basics, but it wasn’t until I started using some assistance that I got a deeper understanding of Python in general.

    I came in very late, obviously, but I’ve still tried to learn coding on and off by myself since the late 90’s, although I ended up on another career path altogether. I’m in my 40’s and I’ve finally at least made some decent executable code.

    Made myself a scalable clock since my eyes are failing, for example. It was a success and I use it daily. Would never have figured that out without some AI help. Still had to do some registry tweaking and shit since I’m stuck on windows on my workstation but it works wonderfully. Just a little widget but it improved my life greatly.

    I’ve also cobbled together a workable alternative to notepad that I use as a diary of sorts. Never would’ve figured that out alone either.

    As I see it at least whatever AI assistant you use at least doesn’t give one the gatekeeping or abuse one gets if they ask a relatively simple question somewhere else. Kinda like this, I guess.

    TL;DR: In some situations our current 'AI’s can be helpful.

    It’s not like I don’t have a basic calculator to test the output, is it?

    I might’ve also understated my python a little bit, as in I understand what the code does. Obviously you could break it, that wasn’t the point. I was more thinking that throwing math problems at what is essentially a language interpreter isn’t the right way to go about things. I don’t know shit though. I guess we’ll see.








  • It’s pretty widely accepted that whatever happens over in the US has ramifications all over the world. My tribe, so to speak, are Swedish speaking Finns, and we’re a very small minority in a country that functions better than most.

    It sort of gives one a perspective. The Finns are liberal in some things sure, but very conservative in many ways. We’ll never legalize weed for example, but we also won’t touch abortion rights because that’s just common sense.

    That said, in the US my voting pattern would be extreme left sure, because that’s just normal over here. Sadly people are afraid and vote right because immigration, but that’ll stop once everyone realises it doesn’t work, since we still depend on immigration to get jobs filled. Everyone knows it, they just don’t want to say it out loud.

    And when the climate really hits us, the clowns will probably be gone anyway. It’s the last gasp we’re seeing right now. Enjoy it while you can.




  • Better conversations, and less echo chambers in general. I know exactly who’ll disagree with that notion too, but that has been my experience.

    The right-wingers that did come over are obviously butthurt to hell since they can’t abuse the report function and get backed by obviously biased mods like they do on Reddit. It’s easier to simply ignore them here, as well, even though they’re around as always.

    Hell, half the comments in this very thread seem to be bitching about “Marxism” like it’s something that anyone gives half a shit about in today’s world. They need their bubble, and they seem to be angry they didn’t get this one, too.

    Also people are generally more tech-savvy here than there, for obvious reasons. That’s a plus.
