Every time I run "pi update --extensions" I get this:
added 1 package, removed 1 package, changed 8 packages, and audited 320 packages in 6s
4 vulnerabilities (2 moderate, 2 high)
For the love of god I still haven't been able to fix those ominous 4 vulnerabilities. I even set gpt-6-sol/max on the problem and even it failed to fix my npm installation.
Pi in any other language would be god-sent, just that I don't have to deal with the npm garbage.
It doesn’t work for amazon.fr or amazon.de or any other local Amazon site.
Michele Obama is making a career after she left the White House (after!).
"Melania", on the other hand, constitutes a direct bribe to a sitting (!) president.
The so called „verification“ counts only US users who purchased tickets through the US Fandango app and nobody else, no?
Click on the 99% and a popup opens where you can select between All Audience and „Verified“ Audience.
Indeed, be really careful
Is there a project on GitHub or somewhere that I could clone?? (smiling face with halo)
Placing an article in a tech blog costs between $20,000 and $30,000, depending on the blog’s reputation, and everybody can do it.
So, it is not that the tech blogs are particularly enthusiastic about the Glasses; it’s more that Meta is throwing money left and right to promote them.
For Apple users the „Hide My Email“ feature is invaluable. A short look in my settings tells me that right now I have 171 active aliases.
I’m happy that Linus takes his job seriously and catches such things even under tremendous stress. We are lucky to have him; he once again saved our collective asses from a lot of pain down the road.
The tweet was prejudiced and manipulative. The bottom part of the email was cut off, not revealing additional context. The focus was put on „Google engineer“, which is totally irrelevant. People here in the chat repeat that the developer is „Chair of the UNIX-Class Platform Specification“. So what? Why is this relevant at all? Apparently, even „Chairs of this and that“ still have a lot to learn.
Another point: I have seen many such „helper“ functions when dealing with LLM-generated code. Was this particular code LLM-generated? I don’t know for sure, but it certainly looks that way. So the headline could easily have been „Linus rejects LLM-generated garbage.“
Once again, we are lucky to have Linus, whatever his communication style may be.
What is the headline implying? That Google engineers are gods? That Google engineers don’t make mistakes?
Also, reading through the code, Linus does have a point. I’m with Linus on this one.
