The new global study, in partnership with The Upwork Research Institute, interviewed 2,500 global C-suite executives, full-time employees and freelancers. Results show that the optimistic expectations about AI's impact are not aligning with the reality faced by many employees. The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees using AI.

Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, the study reveals that, 77% of employees using AI say it has added to their workload and created challenges in achieving the expected productivity gains. Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout.

I was trying to find out how to get human readable timestamps from my shell history. They gave me this crazy script. It worked but it was super slow. Later I learned you could do history -i.

Turns out, a lot of the problems in nixland were solved 3 decades ago with a single flag of built-in utilities.

Apart from me not reading the manual (or skimming to quick) I might have asked the LLM to check the history file rather than the command. Idk. I honestly didn't know the history command did anything different than just printing the history file

man 3 history

info history

Also, your .bashrc file in your $HOME Dir contains env variables you can set to modify the behaviors of the history function.

I really need to alias man to man -a.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I man -k a lot.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What's that?

The option -k for the command man allows you to search the manual pages for specific terms.

Similar to the command apropos

Oh I need to learn more

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

Honestly, I thought I knew lots.

Then, one day, I decided to read man intro

Then I knew I knew I didn't know much.

I still don't.

But I now have a much better grasp of what/how.

I didn't know about this. Thank you for the knowledge fellow human!

I don't run crazy scripts in my machine. If I don't understand it's not safe enough.

That's how you get pranked and hacked
