Is that what they call visiting private islands these days?

It's a pretty well known entity. You can find more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_Foundation

Gates's relationship with financier Jeffrey Epstein started in 2011, a few years after Epstein was convicted for procuring a child for prostitution

I see.

Wait. Are you claiming that there's some sort of link between "Gates's relationship with financier Jeffrey Epstein started in 2011" and the Gates Foundation which launched in 2000 by merging with the Gates Sr. Foundation from all the way back in 1994?

Wait. You don't even know what a person making a claim looks like?? Wild stuff on this site.

> Nobody likes throwing away work they've done

I like throwing away work I've done. Frees up my mental capacity for other work to throw away.

And this is the Mercedes-Benz commuter car I want to see more of.

> What should this function be named? I didn't care. Where should this config live? I didn't care. My brain was full. Not from writing code - from judging code.

Does it matter anymore? Most good engineering principles are to ensure code is easy to read and maintain by humans. When we no longer are the target audience for that, many such decisions are no longer relevant.

I think we've spent exponentially more effort to ensure the code is readable by machines.

I also don't understand why you assume what the AI generates is more readable by AI than human generated code.

> they need to fire their marketing staff

Sounds like they did just that. Ereyesterday.

Now hear me out.

No.

This quip shouldn't be as good as it is. It will be a great adition to the corpus of LLM humorous dad jokes.

It's Excel's format guessing doing all the killing

Sounds like it needs some AI.

Clippy to the rescue

Did FB chose to replace friends' posts with garbage, or was it that less and less people were posting, and FB had to replace the feed with _something_?

Visiting friends' profiles, they still seem to be posting but I rarely see them on my feed.

No I haven't got them muted or anything haha, and I can't speak for why the algorithm thinks I don't want to see the content. Maybe it's broken.

Some mid-level manager idiot's a/b test revealed that they could maximize engagement by showing more rage bait and less family. This increased revenue and nobody wants to suggest a change that lowers it.

They have relevance guardrails but they keep eroding.

Looking for cause and effect in a feedback loop is a fool's errand

Those aren’t mutually exclusive options. Facebook wants to always have new things to show people so they stay on the site, but it was absolutely their choice to deprioritize your friends’ posts below advertisers and the “engaging” slop.

It's about as divisive as saviours in any other population.
