Hättest Du Stress am Arbeitsplatz hättest Du keine Zeit für einen Workshop. Früher, da hatten wir noch richtigen Stress. Und heute? Was wird verlangt? Zwei Seiten auf einmal umzublättern? 😉

Hier gibts einen Artikel zum personalisierten Spam:

For instance, in the near future, an autonomous agent could allow a marketing executive to carve out and automate whole segments of work. Based on a company’s past marketing campaigns, the agent could determine what worked and what didn’t, making its own decisions for future email design, scheduling, graphics, and subject lines. It could also identify the types of consumers a campaign should target and then assess whether the results—opens, views, clicks, and responses—are worth reporting back to management. If the results fail to meet the campaign’s objective, the agent could independently start again, creating a new, more refined list of target customers based on responses to the previous campaign.

Ich habe einen etwas technischen Artikel mit verweisen zu Papern zum Thema gefunden:

https://towardsdatascience.com/the-future-of-generative-ai-is-agentic-what-you-need-to-know-01b7e801fa69

Ich habe den Eindruck der Typ weiß nicht was generative KI bedeutet. Dampfplauderer im Bullshitbingo. “Data Analytics…wird von intelligenten Agenten benutzt” “Generative KI…gibt Zugriff auf Daten”

Das ganze Interview ist einfach Werbung a la “wir sind die geilsten” und “gebt uns alle Eure Daten”. Der Interviewer fragt ja auch nicht nach was der Quatsch bedeuten soll.

Nix davon ist “intelligent”. Es geht immer darum die statistisch häufigsten Merkmale oder wahrscheinlichsten Fortsetzungen zu finden.

An anderer Stelle im Interview behauptet er auf Kundendaten würde nicht trainiert, da diese durch " eine strenge Firewall" geschützt seien. Das ergibt ebensowenig Sinn. Daten sind kein Service (den man durch eine Firewall schützt).

Er benutzt anscheinend Wörter die er im Kontext gehört hat, deren tatsächliche Bedeutung er aber nicht kennt.

“kleine Details”, von wegen! Das Bild von Einstein ist ja größer als der Text.

The shower head in the picture is a bit unusual because of the two screws on the right where you can adjust the head. If you loosen the one next to the wall the shower head tilts down and faces the wall (which is nice if warm water takes a while and you don’t like a cold shower) and with the other one you could make it spray the opposite wall. So it’s pretty versatile. (Or annoying if the screws can’t be tightened enough)

I’m curious. I’ve seen this exact type of shower (including the taps) only in Australia so far. Is it a common type in other countries too?

In short: it’s always like this, sometimes more, sometimes less. And guess what: it’s the main part of the job. As a developer you have to understand what the customer (your boss) needs (sometimes not what they say they want) and to figure out how to do that by yourself. It’s nice to have colleagues you can ask, but it’s like on stackoverflow. The accepted answer is not necessarily the right or good one. Often you have to work with bad documented legacy artifacts (code, api) and figure out what they do. Also the tech changes, you have to constantly keep up with changes and what was great years ago may now be outdated. My advice:

• Do not start coding until you are sure you understood what is to be done.
• if there is no user story to describe the task write it yourself
• write good tests for your code. It’s an art. While thinking about corner cases you often find questions you did not think about at first
• if you don’t know how to do it ask people around you, browse the web, read books. Develop the skills to figure stuff out. Most of the time noone knows the correct answer. It’s your job to find it.
• do code reviews with others, usually both benefit from it
• write clean code

If you don’t like your working environment then change it. Especially when you think you can’t learn anything new there or it is no fun to work there. Go to meetings in your area (meetup or so) or online to meet other developers and ask them about their job. You get a feeling about what is considered a good job in your area. Good developers will always find a good job. Be one of them. As long as you think you’re a god who can code anything, that’s probably not the case. ;-) The best you can achieve is to be an expert in a very narrow field and to be good in some others.

They insert sleep(1) and print statements. No shit. I had to fix this in two projects. One was a complete rewrite.

Schuhbidu…

Wer STÖRt denn hier?

Gerne. Ich kenn mich da aus. 😉

Ändere meinen Verstand.

Da ist wohl nicht viel zu retten.

Why would they use bitcoins to pay for the stream? If it’s already bitcoin why bother?

Lol. Thanks. I really don’t care. I’m running linux servers professionally since the late 90s, which means I have seen one or the other WTF. And systemd had quit some of them, especially flooding log files and race conditions. For example see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7293. That took more than 2 years to fix. And if people like to downvote my personal experience with it they are welcome to do so. I mean all I did was answering a question why one might use a systemd free distribution. Oh and for the downvoters: SYSTEMD IS MICROSOFTS ATTEMPT TO KILL LINUX! Poettering always was their agent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennart_Poettering 😉

My problem with systemd is that since I’m practically forced to use it that it’s flakey in starting services after boot (independent of service and distro). Since systemd I had to install monit to check if all services came up. Didn’t had that problem before. Or I forgot, it’s been a while…

Yes. I really don’t think it’s an effort really. I mean I just press register and enter some_unique_name@mydomain.com. This takes a minute. It’s not that I have to create a new emailaccount or something. And I can even remember them, because the names follow a pattern. As I said it all goes in a single catch-all inbox where I can easily filter by adress. And if I get spam on such an adress they either got hacked or sold my data. Origin for example leaked my email adress for Dragon Age. I also give out unique emailadresses everywhere I need to give one. I got spam on an email I gave exclusively to an ebook distributor. When this happens I just block this adress. I do this because it’s no effort at all. If we meet I could say to you: my email is yourname@mydomain.com and you get out your phone, send me an email and I recieve it. No work at all on my side.

Because I can give the credentials to someone who want’s to play the game and I don’t give access to all of my games.

I even do that with games I buy. You hacked my diablo3 account? Bad luck. But you don’t have access to all my other games. I can even resell the whole game account when I’m done playing.

Don’t get why my inital post was downvoted. I’m not saying that you should do that. Was just asking. But ok.

I have a catch all email, so I create an account every week for no good reason. Anyone else?
