No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I was born in 1997 and have no clue how the .com bubble looked like. With the way they are advertising AI right now (it will solve every problem on earth) it just annoys me, and what's worse people who aren't in the ML/DL field are buying it too. I am just curious how the .com was like and how it compares to the current AI bubble?

For those of us using the tools, actively, it doesn't seem to be a bubble.

For a lot of us it's already showing tangible measurable productivity increases, primarily on boring stuff normally we'd hate doing.

As an example, I use it often to help with documenting my code, it's really good at summarizing what my code does abd making clear, legible, professional documentation for all my code.

That sorta stuff would normally take me hours and hours to do, now it takes about 1.

I still proof read it, but a lot of my typing and formatting and humming and hawwing is gone.

There's a lotta shit like that out there getting streamlined more and more every month that goes by.

I think it's maybe 50/50 bubble and actual value. Lots of garbage "products" vaporware out there by people on the bandwagon.

But also a lot of the tools truly are useful to folks.

Ha. Good luck getting ai to document MY shitty code.

[–] jacksilver 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When you say "document your code" what kind of documentation are you talking about?

[–] pixxelkick 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Adding inline documentation to symbols, such that the LSP will display ot when you interact with them.

Code comments on stuff, "Use this method to x, params do this, returns that, throws this" etc etc

Thanks for the context, that all makes sense to me.
