It’s the first thing I thought of when the articles about the generative AI polluting itself started coming out.
Nice. Software developer, gamer, occasionally 3d printing, coffee lover.
It’s the first thing I thought of when the articles about the generative AI polluting itself started coming out.
Yeah, the generative AI pollution feels alot like the whole steel thing - since the nuclear tests it’s been impossible for new steel to not be slightly radioactive, which means if they need uncontaminated steel they get it from ships that sunk before those.
That’s what I thought at first, but the person who wrote the article is named Simon, and based on the context given in the article I’m assuming that was a test unit he had on his desk, but the planned implementation is in bathrooms.
Considering it only detects if someone in the bathroom is vaping and not who, disciplinary action just isn’t really possible with your typical school restroom.
Yup. Toyota Yaris '15 stock. Lowest trim they offer.
My car is a 2015 and didn’t come with a cruise control lol :(.
To be fair, I can drive at and maintain a consistent speed without it, though I didn’t have to often thanks to stop and go traffic 🎉.
Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I’ve been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.
To be fair, the offer letter mentions he is working from a remote office (and is able to hire an assistant of his choosing). I’m hoping this whole supercommute nonsense isn’t daily and instead like… monthly for some meeting or something.
Who am I kidding though, a $10M signing bonus? He gets up to $250K per year of personal use out of the jet? They’ll even reimburse him $50K of legal and advisory fees he incurs having the offer reviewed by his own lawyers. That’s where I stopped reading.
The article that user links is referring to GrapheneOS (and other OSS software) as not being “free software” - and they (GNU) delves into it more here.
Basically, GNU is saying software shouldn’t claim to be free and open source if they contain non free binaries / other non-free blobs.
The nuances between FOSS and OSS can be confusing. GrapheneOS is not claiming to be FOSS.
What we can work on is awareness. If iOS users are aware, they can choose to simply go to the website directly and make the purchase, instead of using the app. They can still use the app for consumption.
Yes, but you’re more likely to run into an irate person when you turn them away with a cart full of groceries then you are if you turn them away at the door. Plus it reduces the wasted time of employees who have to unload said cart.
Going by their comment history, Germany.
I haven’t checked in a while, so they may have walked back on this, but supposedly we finally get coop in the next one.
Pretty much the same here. Switched to AMD after Heartbleed/Spectre. Was torn between AMD or giving Intel another shot in my next build, up until a few weeks ago when this news broke. It’s going to take alot for me to consider Intel again.
When it comes to commits, single feature / scoped commits are quality. So this git history is actually underwhelming if the author is full time. This is a good read.
I’ve been told they’re a projection put in the sky by God to test our faith lol.
Man, they just keep burying their head further. I still have Windows 10 on my gaming PC, and that’s more because I plan on replacing it and will use that moment to transition to Linux, but up until a few months ago I could have been convinced to keep using Windows.
That was until they popped up a full screen ad in the middle of gaming, telling me my PC doesn’t work with 11 but they have great financing options forn a 11 capable PC. Followed by my lock screen having ads of a similar nature. Fucking gross.
Or just skip it entirely, I use the Consent-O-Matic extension which has a surprising amount of features.
This consternation is definitely common. It’s hard to apply skills to something with no long term impact of benefit. I’ve improved my skills by finding stuff I can help on in the communities I participate in.
It’s natural to be overwhelmed, so deciding on a project does scope what you can learn, but a hard part is architecting the foundation of that project.
Introducing new features to an existing project is a great way to get your feet wet - it has multiple benefits, for one of you do take a position as a developer in the future, you likely won’t be architecting anything initially, primarily improving on existing projects. So participating in OSS projects is a similar mechanism to that - you have to learn their codebase to a degree, you have to learn their style and requirements, etc.
Even if you don’t ultimately contribute, it’s still a learning experience.
