hack1312··on Peppa Pig studio wants to clone child actors' voices with AI indefinitely
That’s not what “The Attorney General v Pig, Peppa” decided.
hack1312··on Zuckerberg's war on whistleblowers
The “lizard people”/“reptilian overlords” conspiracy theory is rooted in antisemitism. It was invented by David Icke, a holocaust denier and endorser of the antisemitic hoax “The Protocols of the Elder Zion”, and plays off the medieval blood libel myths of a shadowy, non-human elite secretly subverting society to manipulate humanity, which “Protocols” built on and is what the conspiracy theory is based on.

Zuck is a humongous piece of shit destroying the world and Israel is committing genocide but we can say so without resorting to bigotry.

“Paychopaths” is a pretty apt typo
hack1312··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
I keep Activity Monitor in my dock for this reason. You can right click its icon and change it to be a real-time graph of a few different stats. I have mine set to CPU usage, it’s like a one-metric iStat Menus for the Dock

Any version of the Nvidia Shield TV can do this, even the original from 2015. I’d be more surprised to find a streaming stick today that can’t handle direct playing 4K HDR remuxes from Plex
hack1312··on There are no instances in ATProto
yeah yeah “PLC is mirrorable” but can I run my own federated did:plc service at this moment for my own community? As far as I understand, I cannot and am limited to did:web and all the associated drawbacks, or having users sign up with Bluesky’s PLC directory to actually allow for the username portability ATproto promises.
hack1312··on Pledging another $400k to the Zig software foundation
the craziest thing i did with its config was to swap the profile being used based on the pattern of the instance’s hostname the terminal was logged into. The idea was to make the terminal background red on production hosts to give a visual indicator to avoid running anything destructive on prod hosts.
hack1312··on Pledging another $400k to the Zig software foundation
i switched from iTerm 2 on macOS because it would get bogged down sometimes or occasionally lag. it’s been noticeably faster and i appreciate the file-based config as well as the defaults, leading to my config being under 5 lines.

on linux i use the default terminal in gnome which is ptyxis now iirc and haven’t felt any need to switch.

Blacksky is not only for Black people. They’re only reserving the blacksky.social domain handles for them, everyone else who wants to have a Blacksky account can use the myatproto.social domain.

Does Blacksky have its own DID system, are they using did:web, or do they rely on blue sky’s did:plc? iiuc did:plc is what allows people to change their handle/use custom domains with the same account, but only Bluesky offers or can run did:plc, everyone else who wants to run their own full stack themselves is relegated to did:web which essentially has the same restrictions as ActivityPub where your account is tied to the domain hosting the DID.
hack1312··on Building durable workflows on Postgres
revolutionary, revelatory whatever. but no your comment was just empty platitudes
hack1312··on Cloudflare Turnstile requiring fingerprintable WebGL
only chrome was approved for use internally at cf 5 years ago when i left
hack1312··on We should be more tired than the model
Eclipse IDE since like 2001

What was so revolutionary to you in their post to cause you to describe it as a “ridiculously good analysis”?
hack1312··on Disagreement among frontier LLMs on real-world fact-checks
Your antisemitism is disgusting.
hack1312··on Citing 'severe' math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM
Deliciously ironic that your “just use AI” reply cites a story that isn’t related.
hack1312··on BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork
Communism is classless and stateless. By definition China is not that.
hack1312··on Disagreement among frontier LLMs on real-world fact-checks
Grok? The model that happily generates CSAM for you while the company breathlessly defends its ability to do so? The model that referred to itself as Mecha Hitler while praising the Nazi party and calling for a second holocaust? The model that famously inserted nonsense about the “white genocide” conspiracy theory into completely unrelated queries?

Why on earth would anyone think such a model is biased?

hack1312··on BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork
China is not a communist country. They’re an example of state-capitalism.
hack1312··on Shunning AI is the human choice
This is plainly delusional. There already is abundance, global crop lands produce enough calories to feed twice the world’s population[0]. Greed is the reason for inequality and “AI” is not solving that. It is pure wishful utopian thinking to believe that there will be some massive AI-initiated abundance.

If you can’t do fizzbuzz without AI you have no business being in this career.
hack1312··on U.S. DOJ demands Apple and Google unmask over 100k users of car-tinkering app
Cynical hat: they think they can use this case to establish precedent to later compel unmasking a different set of users.
hack1312··on When “idle” isn't idle: how a Linux kernel optimization became a QUIC bug
The vast majority of the marketing team was laid off. Prince said he only needs people to build and people to sell, fuck everyone else.

yeah who else can we call to show up 7 hours later to shrug their shoulders.

Bullshit, being a cop doesn’t even rank in the top 10 most dangerous jobs.
