Yea I work in science and there absolutely are STEM bros that are only interested in tricking funding bodies and making up stuff for grants and have zero interest in actually producing good research.
Eventually something will have to give when companies continually get fucked in the ass by breaches and downtime caused by vibe code piling up. We're already starting to see the cracks.
Agreed, I love programming and taking my time to think through problems before I code, but my God these casual AI users at work lap this shit up and can't be fucked spending an extra minute thinking before they write their code.
If you're not that worried about storage then you can just make copies if necessary, then you don't really have to worry about permissions (apart from read, which is typically default for the same group). But yea if there's any chance more than 1 person might work off the same copy of data on HPC, make it read only for the peace of mind. Regarding conda envs, yea I have a few common read only conda environments so that scripts can be used by multiple users without the hassle of ensuring everyone has the same env. Quite useful.
I'm in a similar position as you. Our lab has a partition on HPC but i need a way to quasi-administrate other lab members without truly having root access. What I found works is to have a shared bashrc script (which also contains useful common aliases and env variables) and get all your users to source it (in their own bashrc files). Set the umask within the shared bashrc file. Set certain folders to read only (for common references, e.g. genomes) if you don't want people messing with shares resources. However, I've found that it's only worth trying to admin shared resources and large datasets, otherwise let everyone junk their home folder with their own analyses. If the home folder is size limited, create a user's folder in the scratch partition and let people store their junk there however they want. Just routinely check that nobody is abusing your storage quota.
EDIT: absolutely under no circumstances give people write access to raw shared data on hpc. I guarantee some idiot will edit it and mess it up for everyone. If people need to rename files they can learn how to symlink them.
I've recently gotten back into reading as a way to wind down before bed without using the phone, and it has done wonders for my sleep. Pair it with a kobo ereader and downloading, uh, free books means there's no pressure to read books you don't enjoy (I find with physical books they tend to loom at you from the shelf and make you feel guilty for not reading, which only makes things worse).
Anyway to get to the point reading can be a very low investment hobby if you want it to be.
You actually don't have to worry about poisoning their models, they're already well on their way without any of our input. Broken vibe coder projects are probably already filling github at an alarming rate.
More a reflection of people's attention spans these days compared to when the movie is released. Read any online discussion about media and it seems like people are on their phones for 40% of the show at minimum.
Hell the original film would probably not do well if released today because it doesn't have the obvious shoehorned plot points that the new movies have to cut through the morons.
After years of trying every budgeting app possible (including YNAB) the only app I've found that does everything well is Bluecoins. Split transactions, multiple accounts, handling of credit/debit, recurring transactions, bill reminders, automated reading of bank app notification (to parse transactions), easy reconciliation of accounts, cloud syncing, etc. Definitely well worth the single purchase price (fuck subscription pricing models).
I have a lot of doubt over the graph just based on how they average the results. You're bound to get people guessing super high or super low, which would skew if they were just getting the mean.
Yea nah, you can definitely work perfectly fine without using any AI at all. Saying otherwise is ridiculous, I mean I use IDEs but I don't dream of pretending that I'm more productive that grey beards who still use vim/Emacs.
The truth is outsourcing cognition to AI will atrophy your own decision making skills. Use it or lose it.
I use Dropbox too. Though I have to admit, when running code you sometimes have to pause sync otherwise it interferes with code execution. But definitely worth the peace of mind. Sometimes you don't want to commit stuff until you're sure that it works.

At this point I just end up blocking people who post this dumb shit.
That is a good point, they've crammed ai slop into everything yet they can't even fix something basic as image search.
Don't give them any ideas, I really wouldn't be surprised at a boomer choosing to entomb themselves with their wealth rather than passing it on.
If I had to guess 90% of people these days can barely figure out how to torrent, at best they could figure out how to get to online streaming sites.
Things really are that bad. Try finding a job 150km from the city.

The demographics matter though.

Unfortunately no, which is probably its only shortcoming. I think they're a fairly small team, it was android only until recently.

In reality they'd just price it so only the rich can afford it. It's not that complicated.
