Bad News For AI

20 hours ago 151.8K views 0 shares

Google's AI Overview just confidently explained that matrix multiplication "is not a problem in P" (polynomial time), which is... hilariously wrong. Matrix multiplication is literally IN the P complexity class because it can be solved in polynomial time. The AI confused "not being in P" with "not being solvable in optimal polynomial time for all cases" or something equally nonsensical. This is like saying "driving to work is not a problem you can solve by driving" – technically uses the right words, but the logic is completely backwards. The AI hallucinated its way through computational complexity theory and served it up with the confidence of a junior dev who just discovered Big O notation yesterday. And this, folks, is why you don't trust AI to teach you computer science fundamentals. It'll gaslight you into thinking basic polynomial-time operations are unsolvable mysteries while sounding incredibly authoritative about it.

Best Integer Type

Behold, the holy trinity of integer types in their natural habitat! INT32 is just vibing with a smooth brain, doing basic arithmetic like it's 1999. INT64 shows up with a galaxy brain, handling those bigger numbers like a responsible adult. But then INT54+SIGN bursts through the ceiling with cosmic enlightenment, achieving MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY by packing both the value AND the sign bit into a single integer type. It's like discovering fire, inventing the wheel, and landing on Mars all at once. The sheer elegance of explicitly acknowledging that yes, numbers can be negative too—revolutionary! Who knew that combining size with sign awareness would unlock the secrets of the universe?

You know that moment when your entire codebase is held together by duct tape, prayers, and Stack Overflow snippets? Yeah, that's the sweet spot where everything becomes technical debt. Once you reach that level of enlightenment, the concept of "good code" becomes meaningless. Can't have clean architecture if the whole thing is a dumpster fire. It's like achieving nirvana, but instead of peace, you get runtime errors and a Jira backlog that makes you question your career choices.

Senior Dev Core

The evolution from junior to senior dev is less about mastering algorithms and more about mastering the art of not giving a damn. Average developer John has his serious LinkedIn profile with actual code screenshots and proper job titles. Meanwhile, senior dev Kana-chan is out here with an anime profile pic, calling herself a "Bwockchain Enginyeew (^-ω^-)" and listing "Self-taught" like it's a flex. The kaomoji emoticon really seals the deal. Once you've survived enough production incidents and legacy codebases, you realize LinkedIn is just another social media platform where you might as well have fun. Senior devs know their skills speak for themselves—they don't need to prove anything with stock photos of code. They've transcended corporate professionalism and entered the realm of "I'm good enough that I can be myself."

You Are Absolutely Right

Picture a developer who just watched an AI confidently suggest rm -rf / as a "cleanup solution" but with the C drive on Windows. The kind of coder who says "you know what, maybe AI should handle all our infrastructure" while simultaneously watching it commit digital genocide on an entire operating system. The face says it all: equal parts horror, fascination, and the dawning realization that maybe we should've added some guardrails before giving AI sudo access to existence. Some sins require more than an apology—they require a time machine and a better backup strategy.

Not A Big Deal, Just A Company That Runs Half The Internet

Nothing says "enterprise reliability" quite like AWS failing to collect 82 cents and sending you a formal email about it. The irony here is chef's kiss—a company that hosts Netflix, NASA, and probably your startup's MVP can't process a payment under a dollar. Meanwhile, their URLs are still using template variables like ${AWSConsoleURL} in production emails, which is either a hilarious oversight or they're charging you extra to render those variables. The "Thank you for your continued interest in AWS" at the end really seals the deal. Yeah, not like I have a choice when you're literally running my entire infrastructure. It's giving "we know you can't leave us" energy. That 82 cents probably cost them more in engineering time to send this email than the actual charge was worth.

Ah yes, the eternal truth of software engineering. While normal people debate philosophy, programmers look at the same glass and immediately think "why are we using a 500ml container when we only need 250ml? This is wasting memory." You've allocated a buffer that's double the size you actually need, and now you're paying for it in both RAM and existential dread. Could've used a smaller glass, could've used a dynamic array that grows as needed, but no—someone on Stack Overflow said "just make it bigger to be safe" and here we are. The real kicker? That glass will never get resized. It'll sit there in production for 5 years, half-full, mocking every performance review where you promise to "optimize resource usage."

The Code AI Wrote Is Too Complicated

Junior dev writes spaghetti code? Unreadable mess. Senior dev writes spaghetti code? "Architectural brilliance." AI writes spaghetti code? Suddenly everyone's a code quality advocate. The double standard is real. We've gone from blaming juniors to blaming ChatGPT for the same nested ternary operators and callback hell. Plot twist: maybe the AI learned from reading senior dev code on GitHub. Ever think about that? Fun fact: studies show developers spend more time complaining about code complexity than actually refactoring it. This meme just proves we'll find any excuse to avoid admitting we don't understand something.

When VS Code gets SO fed up with your garbage code that it literally calls it "ass" before rage-quitting on you. Like, not even a polite "syntax error" or "unexpected token"—just straight up roasts your entire existence and terminates the session. The sheer AUDACITY of this error message! Your code was so catastrophically terrible that VS Code had to invent a whole new insult category before dramatically slamming the door shut. The only appropriate response is that big blue "OK" button because what else are you gonna do? Argue with your IDE? It already won.

This Code Is Sponsored By The Assembling Government

You know what's wild? Someone out there is looking at raw assembly with add , str , imd , and register manipulation and genuinely thinking "yeah, this is totally readable." Meanwhile the rest of us are squinting at it like it's ancient hieroglyphics written by a caffeinated robot. Assembly is what you write when you want job security through obscurity. Sure, it's "perfectly readable" if you've spent the last decade living in a cave with only CPU instruction manuals for company. For everyone else, it's just a beautiful reminder that high-level languages exist for a reason—so we don't have to manually juggle registers like we're performing circus acts. The delusion is real. Every assembly programmer thinks they're writing poetry while the rest of the team needs a PhD just to understand what jmp_eq user_input_end is doing at 3 AM during an incident.

Your ancient GTX 1080 Ti looking at you like a war veteran who's been asked to do one more tour of duty. GPU prices went nuclear and suddenly that 7-year-old card you were planning to retire is now your most valuable asset. The correction from "GPU" to "RAM" is chef's kiss—because yeah, you're not upgrading anything else either. That graphics card has rendered more frames than it ever signed up for, and now it's being held together by thermal paste and prayers. It's seen things. Terrible things. Like your Blender projects.
