qx128@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Why do libraries define their own true and false?184·4 months agoIt’s for the extra helpful documentation. You see, in this fantastic example, after the author set GLFW_TRUE to 1, he explained the deep and profound meaning of the value. This exemplifies that the number 1 can also be written as a word: “One”! Some people might be able to figure this out, but the author clearly went above and beyond to make the code accessible to the open source community, encouraging contributions from anyone who’s considering improving the code. Furthermore, this follows the long held tradition of man pages - explaining the nuance of the code, in preparation for telling others to RTFM when they arrogantly ask a question.
qx128@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Since bits are ones and zeroes, and also mean true/false and on/off by extension, doesn't that mean all solutions to IT problems are just turning something off and on again at some level?18·4 months agoGo bigger than IT problems.
Most desk jobs are simply finding information: a suitable combination of 1s and 0s until someone else agrees that the combination is correct.
Then, as a reward, the business slightly changes the 1s and 0s of my bank account.
It’s 1s and 0s all the way down.

it gives companies plausible argument to embed telemetry into their products. Should your TV manufacturer or coffee maker manufacturer be able to monitor every single button you press on your device? Probably not, but they would like to “because AI”! Now they have an excuse to be as invasive as they want, “to serve you better”. The dream - for them - would be total surveillance of your habits to sell you more shit. Remember, it always comes back to money.

The old adage never fails: if it’s free, you are the product. Imagine AI being so pervasive, that now everywhere you look, everything you interact with can subtly suggest things. It doesn’t have to be overt. But if AI can nudge the behavior of the masses to do a thing, like buy more soda, or favor one brand over another, then it has succeeded in boosting company bottom line. Sure the AI can do useful shit for you, but the true AI problem companies want to solve is “say or do the right shit to influence this consumer to buy my thing”. You are the target the AI is operating on. And with billions of interactions and tremendous training, it will find the optimal way to influence the masses to buy the thing.
