breakingcups

I thought that was the least likeable part of the article. They speculated wildly, somehow making the leap that a trained astronaut would not resort to a computer reset if the problems persisted to weave the narrative that this bug was super-duper-serious indeed. They didn't need that and it weakened the presentation.

It doesn't matter what your intention was, the point was that that was what it did. You didn't think hard enough about how people would use it given the (lack of) constraints and moderation you designed it with and you didn't take responsibility / accountability for what you had facilitated.

Your response to this seems to be: "People need to be more thick-skinned, I would take it down if they asked & it's unfair that they escalated to the dean." as if that somehow invalidates the criticism you're receiving. It doesn't. The fact that you don't really own up to that shows a lack of emotional maturity which makes it hard for people to feel sympathy for you. Until you actually understand why people had problems with what you made, you won't get a lot of sympathy for how you were treated either.

It's like those videos where some clueless racist spouting off garbage on the subway eventually gets punched by someone else. Yes, the assault is definitely "more" wrong. But you won't find a lot of people feeling sorry for the racist.

The only one I was vaguely interested in!

Oh, Blades, like the Xbox 360 Dashboard thing?

Or no, you must be referring to the Azure Portal sections.

> In several EU western countries the most common gynelogical surgery act is re-building the hymen (so that the woman can pretend she's a virgin once she marries, often forcibly by her family).

Can you source that claim?

You'd be getting practically the same result. If someone is too lazy to write their own commit messages they're definitely too lazy to write this blog post manually.

Everybody knows better on the internet.

> No Python. No frameworks. Just C, Objective-C, and hand-tuned Metal shaders.

Welp, I know where those tokens came from.

But only on Chrome? I'm on Firefox and I see those prompts all the time.

Is that true, though? Wouldn't it be possible to just copy a font wholesale, since they are uncopyrightable? How would licensing fees be enforced?

Slopyright, transloptions, one-stop-slop...

Could you elaborate on that or share a source? It sounds like it'd be not just interesting but important to learn.

It seems broken. The word "knows" only connects to the word "operator"

It's skewed by the PS2 being one of the cheapest DVD players available at the time, which is no longer needed now.

I hope it doesn't disappear:

Important message

Due to health issues, no updates to the Plugs and Sockets website are expected in the coming months. Email contact may also be affected. For the time being, please do not send any material that might be interesting to add to the website. Next year, I shall make a decision about the future of the collection and website. Wait and see.

A leading company like Anthropic feeding the delusions of people who ramble about model consciousness is just bad all around. It's both performative and irresponsible.

It'd be interesting to see what endpoints they submit the data to...

A memory leak should not be able to BSOD your install. Something else is wrong with your machine, too.

Yes, designing and implementing a new common identifier almost all US citizens have would have been less cheap and fast.

I've not used Ollama in a long time, but I believe it aggressively quantizes models by default, leading to subpar performance.

I wonder if they're stretching themselves too thin? Their CDN product is rock solid IME and so is their video streaming, but they've been adding a lot more "developer-platform" type products, seemingly trying to catch up to CF, and I'm not sure I'll ever trust it enough in terms of staying-power to ever commit to the vendor lock-in there. (I wouldn't with Cloudflare either, to be fair)

Windows IoT (Formerly Windows Embedded) is the version made for ATMs and Kiosks.

Windows LTSC is meant for organisations favoring stability over new features.

Funnily enough, Windows IoT also has an LTSC version.

"I asked an LLM and it said" holds no weight nor meaning, except to inform us on how easily your opinion is swayed.

Depends on what kind of security. They might care about connection integrity. If a faulty (or malicious) router in-between client and server starts malforming packets, `nc` will display those malformed packets. SSH will only show you what the server intended, or nothing.

That's a very naive take. The issue is Docker Desktop, a buggy mess. I have plenty of well-functioning, complex Windows applications with detailed troubleshooting utilities.

If only every LLM-shop out there would put disclaimers on their page that they hope absolve them of the responsibility of correctness, so that your boss could make up his own mind... Oh wait.

What's bad about requiring IDs for directors? Surely you'd want to verify their identity?

Since Vimeo owns the customer billing relationship in a lot of their whitelabel B2B business, migration would be a pain, especially when compounded by a massive amount of data needing to be re-ingested. I think those customers will tolerate a reasonable amount of rot before starting to move and that the timescales would be long.

A notable difference to their (somewhat) contemporary, Nebula. Nebula made the choice to develop their own services, to also own the customer billing relation. Dropout relies on Vimeo for all that.

I'm curious, in your logic, who else would you use the setting to go invisible for?
