b40d-48b2-979e··on 25 years of mass surveillance is enough
That's already too late.
b40d-48b2-979e··on For AI leaders Doom is a form of hype
Say heyooo to a 3°C El Niño...
b40d-48b2-979e··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
All of the "engagement" I see on those videos is calling out that it is slop and boomers being confused by whatever the topic is.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
Okay, AI videos, whatever, people are stupid. But that's not art, and it's not music. People in my circles (art-adjacent) immediately bounce off AI images and music.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher

    Art and music are two very obviously implicated hobbies
Do you think anyone likes "AI" art and music? It's pretty widely reviled.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Keep Our Servers Running
I'm curious, why a BDFL framework like FastAPI over Litestar or a different, performant language altogether?
b40d-48b2-979e··on A Tesla ran a stop sign and killed a man, Full Self-Driving/Autopilot was on
Their point is whataboutism to somehow defend autonomous deaths as acceptable.
b40d-48b2-979e··on A Tesla ran a stop sign and killed a man, Full Self-Driving/Autopilot was on
You're right, we should ban cars.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Wikimedia Foundation Workers Overwhelmingly Vote to Form Union with CWA
All management is adversarial with the worker.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Global warming will exceed 1.5-degree limit, UN says
Yeah? We need millions of personal, individual trucks? For work, of course, ignore all those white collar job parking lots full of extended cab pickups that get 10mpg.

    Do you have kids?
One of these things is not like the others.
b40d-48b2-979e··on 1Password Replied to My Disappointment
It must be exhausting to be surrounded by vacuous people that don't care about what their money is going to support.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Reverse engineering my ADHD test

    I hope I am addicted to it so I don't forget
For real. I bet the people showing up every 90 days on the dot are the easiest addicts/scammers to detect.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Reverse engineering my ADHD test
I used my general physician. It may not be as high quality as a psych, but he determined the symptoms correlated with the diagnosis and the medicine has helped me immensely in my life.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
There are also all the companies building iOS apps that need mac mini compute clusters for CI/CD because of dumb Apple requirements (ask me how I know..).
b40d-48b2-979e··on Tether: iMessage, SMS, etc. on Linux
Those poor multi-trillion dollar companies that can't use copyleft projects, whatever will they do?
b40d-48b2-979e··on Debian votes to allow "responsible use of generative AI"
Good thing votes don't matter but the mob continues to be full of real idiots.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Software engineering is about managing complexity

    I realized at some point yesterday that these kinds of shortcuts would no longer be accepted
    with competent LLM use.
What a load of bullshit. LLMs cut corners constantly and only handle the happy path.
b40d-48b2-979e··on NIH is ending a key grant for budding clinical researchers
It was never a meritocracy. That's a lie to keep the workers in line.
b40d-48b2-979e··on A 3rd World Embedded Engineer Responds to "RISC-V They Should Have Known Better"
Nope, that is still them.
b40d-48b2-979e··on The weekend is 100 years old
Oh is that not how you're living already?
b40d-48b2-979e··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
Too real. I got DMed by management recently asking if I was anti-AI because I had the lowest spend on the team as the lead, y'know, the one that has to review all the slop my peers are generating.
b40d-48b2-979e··on The lifesaving secret hidden inside a horseshoe crab's blue blood
Can't spell cruel and dystopic without Eli Lilly.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Water system controllers don't belong on the internet, says ex-NSA chief
Not only is the pay worse (like literally half of what you make doing webdev for a corp), but they mandate you be on site at a factory working first shift like you're on the production floor or something, clocking in and out when you're a salary worker. It's an awful culture.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Americans are rallying against data centers. Surprisingly few are getting built

    as i recall AT&T used to have such windowless anonymous buldings scattered in some cities
    for their equipment
I worked in Cleveland, and the AT&T building there was one such case. I heard their cabling went 3 stories underground on top of being around 50 floors tall.

    whether they actually just hate gas turbine generators running 24/7 in their neighborhoods.
Or the increased pollution (air, light, and sound) from having a warehouse-sized building of GPUs next to you. I'm already annoyed by my neighbors having spotlights pointed at their own houses or leaving garage lights on through the night that shine in through my bedroom windows.
b40d-48b2-979e··on Why some people mow a lawn better than others
How often are you people mowing your lawn that that's even a concern? It's like this is "surburbs: the problem: the comment section"
b40d-48b2-979e··on Why some people mow a lawn better than others
wat. Causing damage to the grass you're hitting with a (relatively) blunt object in the first place? All you did was waste three times the gas.
b40d-48b2-979e··on US citizen charged after GrapheneOS phone wipes during airport search
Just submit citizen. Nothing to hide, right?
b40d-48b2-979e··on Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects
Comparing crypto scammers to political dissidents is a WILD slippery slope strawman.
