Is this some SEO bullshit?

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 months ago

It fits the definition they provided on that page.

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 62 points 3 months ago

I like the page on "Pumping" which as far as I can tell is a completely made up term https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/glossary/what-is-pumping/

It's like giving your computer a little energy shot, enhancing performance when needed.

wut?

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

Lmao what.

As a software engineer who has a bunch of infra and hardware expertise too, I’ve never heard this terminology before

There's a page for "Minecraft commands" but not one for Minecraft. It's also incredibly wrong.

[-] Mora@pawb.social 45 points 3 months ago

Oh no...

For example, they can spawn mobs, summon items, change weather conditions or even initiate a minigame.

To undo a command, the first thing you need to do is locate the command block that contains it. Then you can use the "/undo" command to revert back to the game state before the command was executed.

... while "/weather" lets you change the environment from rain to snow.

Building a house in Minecraft requires the use of several different commands. Firstly, you'll need to use "/fill" to quickly and easily create walls, floors, and other structures. After that, you'll want to make use of "/clone" so that you can copy and paste specific parts of your house without having to build them all from scratch. Finally, you'll use "/summon" to spawn in furniture and other decorative items. With these four commands, any player can have a beautiful home built in no time!

The 4th command is a secret well kept...

The "/noai" command in Minecraft can be extremely useful when trying to create a more challenging and realistic gaming experience. This command prevents any artificially intelligent entities, such as zombies and creepers, from attacking or following the Player.

Ah, yes, more challenge by literally making zombies be braindead.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 months ago

tbf it's pretty realistic for a rotting corpse to be braindead

Some finds:

Run

Yes, Run can significantly improve the startup time of your computer. By prioritizing essential startup processes and optimizing the boot sequence, it reduces the time it takes for your system to be fully operational after powering on.

Mickey

The number of mickeys in a mouse is determined by its hardware and sensor technology. Modern mice have high dots per inch (dpi) sensors, which provide more mickeys per inch, allowing for fine-grained control.

Incognito Mode

You should also clear out any cookies stored from sites visited while in incognito mode so that they don’t continue tracking you even after turning off private browsing modes.

The Future Of AI

"Will AI help me become a better programmer?" Absolutely. ... This means you'll be able to write code that's more efficient and with fewer errors, saving you time and effort.

[-] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 months ago

Apparently the Mickey thing is an actual term, not something they made up

[-] YourMomsTrashman@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I searched around trying to double check it, and the first related thing I found was this same 'glossary entry' :|

I went to a trivia night at a local bar with a guy from high school and his family. We were in contention for the top. The whole night I was useless, since most of the questions were about European sports legends or actors or singers from the 20th century. The guy starts feeling up the last question:

"This is a tricky one and one of my favorites. Going to the realm of technology... What is the name for a unit of measurement, named after a Disney character, which is related to how far your mouse moves?"

The whole family looks at me, cause I'm known to be a tech guy.

Complete blank. Flustered. Uhhh uhmmm it's called DPI? Pointer speed?? Is there a Disney character called Peter Pointer?...

We lost. They were disappointed, but not as disappointed as I was in myself.

Went up to the trivia guy at the end to ask him to show his sources. He pulled up a legit looking wikipedia article so I accepted my defeat.

[-] puchaczyk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 3 months ago

Definitely AI, but they might do it because there is a lot of clueless parents who, when their kid have a problem with their game, decide to call the first brand they see on the PC (here Lenovo). Putting those answers in a glossary saves Lenovo's time.

[-] puchaczyk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 3 months ago

As a side note sqlite had a similar problem with McAfee:

2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be "sqlite_". But then Mcafee started using SQLite in their anti-virus product and it started putting files with the "sqlite" name in the c:/temp folder. This annoyed many windows users. Those users would then do a Google search for "sqlite", find the telephone numbers of the developers and call to wake them up at night and complain. For this reason, the default name prefix is changed to be "sqlite" spelled backwards. So the temp files are still identified, but anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid of the file.

Stealing that

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

They have like 100 different AI terms in their glossary, most of which just redirect to their page on ChatGPT lmao

You know what... I'll use their support page for copy pastas from now on. Here's a 1300 word article on the comma symbol...

Copy pasta

What is a comma?

Comma refers to the punctuation mark ‘,’ which is used to separate words and phrases in sentences. In computing, this can be seen when working with computer code. For example, when declaring a variable or setting certain parameters in a program, you will often have to use commas to separate out the different items. Commas are also used extensively on the web for the same purpose, such as when entering passwords or filling out online forms.

What is the purpose of commas in programming?

The primary purpose of commas in programming is to separate various items or values from one another. This helps make it easier for a computer program or script to understand what it needs to do with these values and how they fit together as part of a larger command or instruction. Without proper usage of commas and other delimiters such as semicolons and colons, programs become difficult to read and follow.

How can commas help me make coding easier?

Commas can help you make coding easier by making code more organized and readable by both machines and humans alike. Proper usage of commas helps programmers divide code into smaller chunks that are easier to process and debug. Commas also help programmers ensure that parameters passed into a program are properly separated so that the program can interpret them correctly without having to guess at any data points.

Why are commas important for web development?

Commas are extremely important for web development because they play an essential role in separating out values from HTML tags and attributes that define how a page will appear on screen once it's rendered by the web browser. Without proper usage of commas between attributes like font size, position, color etc., your website may not look how you wanted it too - so using them correctly can make all the difference between an attractive website design versus an ugly one!

Can different programming languages use different punctuation marks?

Yes, different programming languages can use different punctuation marks depending on their syntax rules and conventions. For example, some languages might require brackets ({}) instead of parentheses (()), while others might prefer using underscores (_) versus hyphens (-). As a developer it is important for you to understand these nuances when writing code for specific applications or projects so that their programs run correctly without any problems due to incorrect usage of these symbols during compilation time.

What is the importance of commas in web scripting?

Commas are essential for web scripting because they can help separate items in a block of code that define certain aspects of a webpage, such as its layout, function or styling. Without proper usage of commas between attributes and values, a website might not look or behave as intended due to improper formatting or lack of structure. Furthermore, commas also play an important role when it comes to separating out data points within an array or object that contains multiple elements - without these symbols, the data set will be difficult to parse and manipulate by any program trying to access it.

Are there rules I should consider while using commas in coding?

Yes, there are some basic rules for how commas should be used in coding. Generally speaking, they should always be used to separate items from one another during declarations or assignments with programming languages. This helps make sure that parameters passed into a function or variables added to an array are properly separated so that the program can properly understand what each value refers to too. Also remember It's important for you as a programmer to use proper indentation when writing code so that commas are easier to see and read at a glance.

What other punctuation marks are commonly found in computer code?

Besides comma, other common punctuation found within computer codes include semicolon (;), colon (:), parenthesis (( )), quotation marks (" ") and asterisk (*). Each one has its own special purpose when it comes to coding, like helping denote comments within programs or differentiating between command strings across lines of code. Knowing how each symbol works and when it should be utilized correctly can go a long way towards making developers more efficient at writing better quality programs faster.

What is the purpose of quotation marks in coding?

Quotation marks are used whenever we need a program to take some characters literally as part of an instruction rather than interpreting them as code elements themselves. For example, if you want your program to execute “echo ‘Hello World’” then you would enclose this string inside quotation marks so that the program knows which letters make up the command itself versus any additional input you may have written around them (e.g., arguments). Quotation marks can also be used for string manipulation operations like searching and replacing pieces of text within a larger body of content.

How does indentation help make code easier to read?

Indentation helps make code much easier to read by providing visual cues regarding which lines belong together functionally and which ones don't within a given script or application. This makes it much simpler for developers to identify what commands do what jobs within their projects without having all lines running together on screen while scrolling through large chunks of source code quickly becomes tiresome and confusing without proper documentation provided via indentation rules.

How is a comma used in an if/else statement?

A comma is often used in an if/else statement to separate the two different conditions or expressions that will be evaluated and checked before deciding whether to execute certain code within an application. For example, if you wanted to check that both a user's age is above eighteen (18) and their name is “John Doe”, then this could be written as an expression like: if (age > 18, name == “John Doe”). This type of syntax ensures that both conditions must be true in order for the program to proceed with the desired action.

What other punctuation marks are commonly used when writing JavaScript?

In addition to comma, other common punctuation marks found when writing JavaScript include semicolon (;), colon (:), parenthesis (( )), curly braces ({}), brackets ([ ]) and hash symbols (#). Each one has its own unique purpose depending on what type of expression or command you're writing within your script. For instance, curly braces can help denote specific blocks of code while brackets are typically used for array declarations or list items - all of which should be taken into account by developers who want their program to execute correctly.

Why is it important for me as a developer to understand how commas work?

It's extremely important for developers to understand how commas work because even a small misstep can cause errors with programs due to improper formatting or incorrect usage of symbols for separating data points from one another. Knowing how each punctuation mark works and when it should be utilized helps prevent bugs from slipping through the cracks during development time as well as making code easier to read by other people who may need access it at some point in the future.

Are there any rules regarding how many commas can be used within a single expression?

There aren't any strict rules regarding how many commas can be used within a single expression, though it's generally considered good practice not to use too many at once since this can make programs difficult to understand at a glance - not only by machines but also humans alike. It's always better where possible to break down expressions into smaller chunks so that they're easier for anyone coming across them in the future

The comma instead of && or AND is crazy

[-] huginn@feddit.it 13 points 3 months ago

Didn't try very hard but couldnt get a prompt injection working. Not sure if it's software they wrote looking for terms or what but I got an invalid request.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 28 points 3 months ago

I think it's pre-generated if it's giving everyone the same results. What probably happened was that someone fed all their help articles through an AI and told it to generate a glossary from them or something.

[-] huginn@feddit.it 8 points 3 months ago

That's one way to protect your AI: airgap it

It's good to know that even the AI Lenovo uses also has just given up caring. I swear you could say to their CEO "Did you know you owned Motorola for a bit?" and the first question he'd ask would be "Did we make sure to kill the spirit of everyone who worked there?"
