Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Software Engineers are effectively working on projects which will make them obsolete sooner or later.

On another note, why are so many coding tutorials on YouTube done by Indians with barely understandable accents?



 
Software Engineers are effectively working on projects which will make them obsolete sooner or later.
I bumped into someone I knew from school a little while ago and we chatted for a bit. He's basically a self-employed software engineer but said that he doesn't know how long he has left in that gig because of AI (which he uses himself to write code). I don't know how good it (AI) is for writing software systems but you could imagine that it's already doing away with junior programmers.. and how does one become a senior programmer without being a junior one? 🤔

On another note, why are so many coding tutorials on YouTube done by Indians with barely understandable accents?




Why are there so many Indians?

I watched a few minutes of that (to annoy myself with the accent :)), notice in the AND column, he repeated F and F (second one should've been F and T of course)
 
These new laws they're trying to bring in to limit and even prevent kids getting access to social media is doomed to fail.

Take the cookie jar and hide it up on a tall shelf - what's the kid gonna do?

Now he wants it even more than he did before you fucked with him.

It has fail written all over it: if these actions are brought in - the kids will find another way around the wall.

A far sleazier and more dangerous way - likely utilizing the Dark Web, and you know how that's gonna pan out for everyone.

Meaning what?

Or is it your favourite sewer - Telegram?

I wouldn't worry about it: after all, not everybody is interested in memes.

Maybe try writing your points instead of posting crap you KNOW isn't going to gain any traction due to most people present* not wanting to frequent the particular sewers you enjoy, they may well have their own too.

* we're an army of three members here at the moment: two of us don't use Telegram.

You can do the math yourself, no?

For absolutely no good reason

That's pretty much the only takeaway you need to eh, take away

A X post (xeet or tweet, whatever you want to call it) is not a "meme", a Telegram post is not a "meme"

I'll leave it where it is so.

They're always these pictures with text added, or a few badly laid out paragraphs of some lunatics gripe of the day.

I'm not disinterested, I'm simply not up for being taken for a ride in your clown car.

By all means, use your telegram all you like, just don't be wasting other people's time with the meme shit.

I always picture you at the other end when you've added a telegram: a smug wry smile on your chops and your arms folded firmly across your chest like you just scored a goal in the 1966 FA Cup. It's boring. It's not interesting. I want to hear what YOU have to say, not your heroes. You can keep your influencers. I don't need or want their information, if I did, I'd get it myself.

You've heard of this man?

James Brown?

The Godfather of funk?

Well, two things about this track: one - the lyrics. Fuck Telegram.
Two - the musical arrangement: it has something very unique going on, can you hear it?
James has his players reacting to something he's instructed them to do, even though - technically, it shouldn't work. Or make any sense.
Except it does.

The point being: James has directed his players to do something only a complete genius OR total idiot would even think, never mind suggest.



Try to work it out: it's a mathematical incongruity that repeats and repeats itself over and over until it sounds like it really works, but shouldn't.

Show 'em what you got, math-boy.
 
A little tip: because the song is 9m30s approximately, there's a moment at around 6.30 where Clyde (Stubblefield, author of the classic funky drummer loop) accidentally drops it, but keeps on going. You can hear that James had spotted it, it's in his lyrics - and his attitude. The rule with Mr Brown was simple and applied to everyone in his band.

Drop a note, that's five bucks.

Drop two?

Ten bucks.


All fines were removed from paychecks before they were handed out - and everyone HAD to pay, or fuck off.

He applies a similar logic in the music and it's a mathematical/musical quandary: the quantize of the whole bar remains the same, only the accent shifts.

An accent is a 'moment' in the arrangement, a sudden something that suddenly stands out: a motif, if you will.

James was an uneducated man, but a musical genius: his approach to capturing a live take was a lot like a classroom environment, he's the rather intense teacher. He's pointing out the notes on the chalkboard with a stick. He uses his lyrics and call/response (gospel music/church music) to direct his players to use a part already arranged and written out for everyone to see. The lights are up. It's not funky in there, it's discipline. Endless repeats of the idea until they get it right, until they're playing close enough to what he was hearing in his crazy head when he wrote it. When he dreamed it. And after that, deliberately and with full intent drops impossible clangers into the arrangement of the various players' parts. Maybe to keep them on their toes. Maybe to create something he hadn't quite rounded off. Maybe because he was a cunt, which he was - to work with anyway. But he had a vision nobody else ever came close to, apart from Zappa, who could also write a symphony in his head, just a pen, no notes, walkman, or even a guitar in his hands.

That's genius.

Designing say, a nuclear bomb or a rocket that can go out into space and send back information isn't genius, it's intelligence - and possibly ego.

In music?

James is the bomb.

The rocket.

And what he sends back is a one of a kind experience that can never be repeated in the form he originally created it, or even recorded it. Live. Whole band. Ten players, maybe more. Backing vocalists, sometimes. Depends on what he's looking to create. Right there. On the spot with the best professionals in their fields. In the studio. Where time is money. 'You can't play it? Get out. Next guy, now'. He used two drummers. Just not at the same time. Sometimes. But everyone's there, shirt and tie. Red light. Expensive mics are live. Musical history is about to be made. Again. Like always with Mr Brown. Everyone creaming themselves. no one making eye contact. Everyone watching Mr Brown, never taking their eyes off him lest they miss a prompt. A gesture. A facial tic. Because that's how he conducted them: 'watch me, listen to me. When you see me point at something on the board - play it. When you hear me screeeeeeaam, hit the bridge. Not the first one - the third one, you stupid fucker. Looky here: it's written down for you. Third, second, first. Backwards - got it? When I point, you play what I point at. When I tap it again, you repeat it again. Then, when you hear me cry, you hit this bridge - the FIRST one. Play it in the third section. Not the second. And keep the horns on point - never drop the horn motif. Ever. It's a simple loop. Just keep repeating it no matter what I'm singing about. When I'm singing my eyes are closed. That's my style. But when I open them, you better be ready for me. You better turn on a dime when I say so. Or it's bucks on your check, got it?'

And that's how James, like Miles, changed the course of modern music.. .just once in his life. Miles did it twice. Possibly three times if you can stomach his orchestra made up of punk rockers who couldn't play a damned thing. Which suited him just fine for what he had in mind. Miles and James dug each other's soul. They were on the same wavelength: they were doing it for their culture: to enable their people. Like Bob Marley did for Jamaica and Jamaican people. To make them open their eyes to the possibilities: maybe even to hope, to self awareness. Maybe just to make their lives more livable.

But regardless of the media image he's been dumped with as a man, it still doesn't take away from his utterly unique approach to music and politics.

Without him, no Public Enemy.
Who robbed him blind by sampling all of his drummer's grooves, but never paid for them. They even wrote a song about it - the whole court experience and trying to tell the judges 'you can't copyright no beat, man'.. But that wasn't refusing to pay Brown. It was making a point of rejecting the court's' intent. Which wasn't in their world view. Fuck the courts, we take care of our own. When Clyde was terminally ill and facing destitution, they immediately stepped up and made sure he got hospital treatment and a new home. Which is why I've always admired them: they didn't do it to scrounge the cash, they did it to make a point to the courts. To the legal system that was strangling their mission. But they always made sure that those who sacrificed for the cause were taken good care of.

But there I go again.

Anyway - figured it out yet, IQ-Boy?

 
That YOU can see.
Correct. Me and everyone else (besides you two)

This is borne out by the fact that no one else has ever thought to ban social media on Irish political fora in the history of Irish political fora

Figured out what?
 
Correct. Me and everyone else (besides you two)

Point out for me - if you will, this 'everyone else' you refer to.

This is borne out by the fact that no one else has ever thought to ban social media on Irish political fora in the history of Irish political fora

Telegram isn't social media: via your take on it - it's a sewer of failed white Irish mongs trying to convert other white Irish mongs into believing twats like Keith Woods has any worthwhile point to make. So you're angry that Ireland hosts so many immigrants. Is posting your pretty postcards from Telegram going to change that? Nope. Is you repeating yourself day in and day out going to change anything? Nope - apart from you becoming less and less relevant the more you skid your back wheels into the mud.

You're going nowhere, Jimmy - and your point of view is going with you.


Very good.
Really.

You hear what I have to say in every post I make..

Nope - I heard what you had/have to say years back, you're only repeating it since, well.. ..years back.
Maybe you can spin at at 45rpm so I can dance to it instead?

Regardless of whether it contains any chosen (by me) social media

Your choices in social media are about as relevant and real as your 'millions won and millions lost' as a failed card-sharp.
It's just a daydream, something to fill in the emptiness in the vacuum you call your life.

The most strenuous thing you do is turn on the television

I don't watch 'television', Jimmy. I pick out the documentaries and things I like in advance and program them to switch on using the scheduling system in my remote control. Soap operas and drama series aren't my bag. I also like to watch RTE news once in a while, or listen to it at least, when I'm pottering about and arranging my apartment for the day's tasks. Because it makes me laugh, out loud. I scrub my pots and pans and vacuum the floor with a cheesy grin across my face, with sudden bursts of laughter whenever they trot out those two mental sounding culchie reporters to talk down to Paddy and Bridie. It's pure comedy to me.

Michael Jackson's father used to whip him with a belt

Most Irish people know exactly how that feels, Jimmy. What's the big deal about Jackson getting some? Irish schools endorsed beatings with the leather strap until the 1980's, you dumb cunt. Some preferred long sticks, dual purpose too: one to smack kids, two to point at the board. Others again didn't bother with sticks or leather straps, Jimmy: they preferred to use their fists and their well-shod feet. And they laos liked to put their hands down into the same little kids pants to feel them up and have a 'moment' of pleasure.

James Brown beat some of his wives. So they took him for every dollar they could get. He ended up in prison. Broke Should Jackson's father also have been sent down? Or should it have been Jackson himself sent down? Can you figure it out yet, Jimmy? This cycle of violence? He beat on him so him beats on you, ain't that a grind, Jimmy?

A little insider fact: Michael Jackson and his kids spent almost a month living in the attached house of a recording studio in the Irish midlands. This was about two/three months before he died. Nobody knew he was in Ireland - or at least, very few. He was the guest of a prominent business man I've known since I was a young teen. I got the skinny on it: he didn't use the studio, at all. He took the kids out for walks in the rain in the Irish countryside, but never left the confines of the estate. His food was shipped in along with anything else he needed, because he arrived in Ireland with practically no luggage at all. His band members never arrived, the studio booking was done solely to make sure nobody else showed up while he was there.

And when he left, nobody knew about that either, Jimmy.
Just the limo driver, the airport staff, and his pilot.

During the time he spent, I'm told he was devoted to his children, never let them out of his sight. Comforted them, watched TV with them, played with them, and generally had a wonderful time with them because he said he thought Ireland was simply beautiful. Especially in the rain. They got muddy. They kicked ball. Hide and seek. Went for drives on the ATVs. Whatever they liked, they did. When he was ready to leave, my associate made sure all the bookings were seamless: car, airport, plane, out.

So whatever his Dad whipped him with, he turned out as he did. He showered the kids with love and attention. Nothing came between he and them, by all accounts. On the other hand, most of your Irish pals old enough to remember corporal punishment mostly turned out to be cunts themselves. Jackson tried to end the cycle of violence, and he did it by example. In Ireland, you fuckers can't let it go. Your courts are clogged up with angry men looking for retribution. Every day another case of historic violence and rape. Another man in tears at the doors of The Four Courts telling you how it didn't just fuck him up. It fucked his wife up, his own parents, his own children, and their children in turn.

Ireland is a hot-bed of historic rape victims, of dead babies in sewers, of priests languishing in open prisons like The Curragh. Of women whose kids are lost. Whose kids were forcibly taken from them and sold like commodities on the international markets. America, England, Germany, etc. This was called adoption. This was justified by lies about how the mother wasn't fit to raise a child: too young, too interested in literature, not attending church, went mad, died in childbirth, was dead on arrival but the baby saved. And masses more lies on top of lies down all the days since. And you're still not at the finish line. There are hundreds more infant carcasses to be unearthed, possibly thousands.

So if focusing on Mick Jackson's Da steams your boat, go ahead and sail your choppy seas of blame.
You're going to sink in the end, Jimmy - and there's no way to stop that.

I don't mind you talking about things that you're interested in, why would I. But you make it hard to be reciprocal or even curious when you shit all over what other people are (interested in)

Nah, that's not close to the truth, Jambo. You aren't interested in 'sharing what you know' - your game is simple switch and bait. You ask a question that has fuck all to do with the subject at hand, then poke fun at your adversary because they refuse to answer, then you try to frame it as you knowing something few others know. Which is clearly bullshit: you're just another messenger boy. You're just another vacuous conduit for your hate and rage at how your life has turned out.

I don't want to know what you think you know. This is mainly because: I'm happy, contended in my life. You're not. Not even close. You're sitting there reading Telegram while Jamal and Lornell are making progress - sewing up large parts of your capital city while you sit idle. They're running the hash, the weed, the powders, the robbed gear, used cars, and the various household items of your neighbours and friends. And you're still sitting idle, looking for someone to blame. Here, try this:

Before Jamal and Lornell took over street dealing - who were the previous businessmen?
Ask yourself why Dublin city center (and many satellite towns) turned so quickly from a vibrant and healthy shopping and leisure towns into a junkie pits of hell?
Who strung all those white Irish skangers out, Jimmy?
Who front-loaded them with cheap dope to hook them, then squeezed them until they had fuck all left?

You're pointing your fingers in all the wrong directions, kiddo.
You're obliviously looking around for a black cunt to blame while the real cunts have their fingers in your pocket, up your arse.
And you can't even see it: chances are, if you did - you'd mistake it for something else entirely.

Figured out what?

Forget it, Jimmy - it clearly sailed above your hollowed-out once.
It had to do with a conundrum of a musical bent - so clearly not your bag at all.
You can switch back on any one of around fifty recorded songs by Oasis.. ..again.

You see, you're dumb and paranoid enough to think that those immigrant kids who raided your sports shops along O'Connell Street during the Big Night Out a few years back - where white Irish kids burned buses and cars out - were robbing those high end sneakers out of desperation - or greed. They weren't. They were reacting to simple reality at the heart of their street culture: those are the same kids whose cash dollar money lines the pockets of the global brand names they favour as their chosen style and fashion. Shell suits and sneakers, topped off with gold hanging off them like seaweed on a drowning drunk Irishman. That's how they roll. A tailored suit is for court appearances - their daily wear is branded items by Nike, Puma, Adidas, and Boss.

When they hit those sports shops and raided them, it was a calculated act of revenge. It was and is their way of responding to the simple fact that for all the money they spend into these brands, all the free advertising the global brands get from them, they give nothing back in return, even though they're raking in trillions off black culture.

Which is exactly why this lyric here (from the Public Enemy song above) matters:

'I like Nike, but wait a minute.
The neighbourhood supports so put some money in it.
All corporations owe, they gotta give up the dough
To my town or else we gotta shut them down..'


Paddy was only in it for the excitement and danger, an element of mindless destruction too.
Lornell and Jamal were in it to rob Nike and Adidas blind, to get some payback for all their inward investment.
You haven't the awareness to realize that, because you're the angry white Irish cunt burning a €120,000 brand new 68-seater public bus out.
You're shooting yourself in the foot while they're taking care of business.

See, you think you're smart, you have a Telegram or meme, or a well-rehearsed and trotted out line for every misguided aspect of your thought process. It suits you better to class Lornell and Jamal as common thieves, when that's not their game at all. It's an insider thing: they all share this viewpoint. Paddy spends on Guinness, and in return, Guinness supports all kinds of white Irish shit: music festivals, sports events, arts and cultural events. Lornell spends on Nike and Puma, but neither brand lift a damned finger to support his interests.

Like I said years ago: you're an army of one sorry loser yapping about this shit right here while all the real action is happening just out of sight.
But only just, Jimmy - it's there for those wise enough to understand what they see. Not chumps like you who reacts to absolutely fucking everything to do with migrants and skin colour culture wars. You can't even see where the real game is taking place, even though it's right under your nose.

Me?
I don't have your problems - because up here, we do what needs to be done and we say what needs to be said.
We run Finland, we are Finland, and our elected government is there to serve our interests, not that of some blow-in from some desert shanty-town.

We're happy, Jimmy.
The happiest in the entire world, my sad little friend.

I wouldn't worry about it: after all, not everybody is interested in memes.

See those three little kids at the table, Jimmy?
See the one in the high chair?
That's every white kid who ever had a trip to Mickie D's with their Dad: shit spilled all over the place.

You're an idiot who posts pictures that you think will change the world, right?
In fact, idiots are ashamed to be classed in the same bracket as you.

Here, this cunt reminds me of you - in a reverse-skin-colour-inverted kind of way.
