Beautiful

You may not agree with the policy or the tools used, but the rules were clear, and at this point she has no evidence that she did not use some other Generative AI tool. It’s just her word against another AI that is trained to detect generated material.

What is telling is her reaction to all of this, literally making a national news story because she was flagged as a cheater. I promise if she wasn’t white or attractive NY Post wouldn’t do anything. What a massive self own. Long after she leaves school this story will be the top hit on a google search of her name and she will out herself as a cheater.

Venting again. The thing that pisses me off the most is how odoo refuses to adopt common practice and instead implements their own stuff:

• Need an ORM? Well don’t expect odoo to use a battle tested and widely used library. Odoo implements its own, but good luck figuring out how to optimize a query.

• Want a framework like React? Nope, we’ve got Owl — but only sometimes.

• Want templates? Odoo uses its own XML dialect. That’s not really documented. Oh and XML is also the configuration language. Oh and about 40% of your codebase will be xml files with magic strings that at runtime magically call a python function. Because fuck you.

I’ve been developing on odoo for a couple of years for a project at work. The docs are horrible, especially for anything on the JS side of the house. Making relatively minor UI changes that are trivial with other frameworks become days long exercises in frustration. I can’t tell you how many unintelligible YouTube videos from Indian programming shops I had to watch just to do a simple task like add a modal dialogue.

I get the feeling they started the project in 2004 and decided to build a web app. While the rest of the Python and JS ecosystem matured in other directions, odoo just kept doing whatever the fuck they wanted. The whole thing is a nightmare of esoteric XML dialects that are somehow mapped by the engine into a database transaction when the thing boots up.

When I work on it, I tell my wife I am doing the “odoo doodoo”.

I love the amendment that failed. Imagine being so full of yourself as the state Supreme Court chief justice that you try to change the constitution so you don’t have to retire. That shit happens in Russia.

Really enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing. I’m surprised by the random page implementation.

Usually in a database each record has an integer primary key. The keys would be assigned sequentially as pages are created. Then the “random page” function could select a random integer between zero and the largest page index. If that index isn’t used (because the page was deleted), you could either try again with a new random number or then march up to the next non empty index.

Real life quantum physicist here. When you say you want the uncertainty principle to be bigger, what you are really saying is you want Planck’s constant to be a bigger number. This has much bigger consequences than you might expect, because if nothing else about the universe changes (for example Coulomb’s constant) then the energy levels of atomic transitions all get out of whack, you break chemistry and chemical bonding, and there is no such thing as a basketball because there are no such thing as rubber molecules.

Professional scientist here. I would take a table of logarithms. In a world without computers, the logarithm table and slide rule are the essential tools of how things got built. We built the Golden Gate Bridge and put a man on the moon using nothing more than log tables.

Any one person can remember the gist of the scientific method and write it down on a page. To write down a quality logarithm table you would need 500 pages.

I’m going crazy, but if this compiles at all I bet it generates the same machine code when compiled with each line reversed.

People who get excited by this have no idea how much actual DoD work costs to do. 2M/yr might pay for a team of about five to eight people to assist an analyst writing software. It’s not even a dingleberry compared to the scope of an actual DoD program.

You’re just revealing your ignorance getting worked up about this stuff. I don’t need to resort to “reducto ad UFOium” to say you’re misinformed.

Do you know what would make Latin America safe against foreign interventions and coups: robust government and civil institutions with broad popular support. Blaming America for it’s history of interventions will do nothing to protect you from China doing the same thing. The only people who can build and protect the autonomy and liberty of Latin America are the Latin Americans themselves.

Background: my family was forced out of Nicaragua during the US intervention in the 1930s.

You are awesome man. I wanted to wait until the instance matured before committing to a monthly donation but I am signing up now. You’re the best instance admin anyone can hope for. Glad to see your patch make it to 0.18

Yawn, you trolls are so predictable. Everything is some zero sum political statement. Its a meme and has nothing to do with how you vote.

Yeah, came here to say that too. There are lots of goofy pictures of Bush. His goofy smile after dodging the shoe is classic. The man deserves to be mocked. The moment Bush was told about 9/11 while reading to kids was not in good taste.

I don’t agree this is gentrification, but aside from your questionable vocabulary I don’t disagree. I came from reddit, understand that it is different, and celebrate the differences.

Well I am here. What do you want to talk about?

I think PowerShell drives me to a bash terminal

I hate to say I was too lazy to Google it, but where is the source code and how is it licensed?

That’s awesome. What part of the world are you in?
