I for one welcome our AI overlords :D think about it, I'm with you on this one; an AI wont have petty issues or unresolved trauma when managing people, only hallucinations and blackouts. So a cocaine/meth addicted 80's boss f

They already do. Llm is just an algorithm. Dont worry, you've been lied to algorithmically at least since the 90's.

Who is nobody? At least a fourth of the worlds work force works for a faceless corporation. And the math on emissions is crystal clear, no one has any doubt about it, what are you talking about? USA and China. This obviously will have conse

You can run doom on anything these days; running it on humanity's eulogy is no surprise :)

Sort of. Today the energy companies trade (obviously) energy; imagine if they traded compute power instead; the use case for never-seen industrial clients is being built as we speak, and companies are actually purchasing directly production

It has been for a decade now, it has nothing to do with AI. And you cant do nothing to avoid it today. This is the reality no one is telling you - the emission goals and global temperature ceilings are based on the fact that most prediction

You add yourself to the docker group to be able to use the socket. By default, a uid 0 on a docker container is run as root, regardless of the uid of the owner of the container. That is precisely the issue being discussed.

Im not particularly fan of the chinese, but no chinese model asked for my citizen card yet to complete a task. And apparently no chinese provider uses persona to manage this kyc information. OpenAI does, in EU space. Just saying.

On that topic, check higgsfield cinema studio 4; they already provide amazing tech for the cinematic experience, somewhat similar to what you are describing.

LLMs will certainly replace most developers. Most developers dont know that "computer" was a profession not long ago (and a quite demanding one). You are conflating "not understanding how to build software" with "no

As someone diagnosed recently, I can confirm this. People think it is a linear set of symptoms/traits, and not a bouquet of clues. Disclaimer: I previously was one of those people, and I typically dont give a rats ass on what people th

Im developing something vaguely in the same space (tamper proof audit log) - (or several things since I also have a custom temporal object mapper for postgres); what is the advantage of this project? It doesnt seem sql-compliant (afaik bite

Me. You know nuclei is written in go? Sometimes you need resolution consistency between eg. A port scanner and nuclei. You build and test this on your infra, but then you need to deploy on a heavily proxied network and you find issues. Is t

None. There are no good actors in a profit-driven endeavour. But open-weight seems pretty good (the chinese)

Reiserfs. A good example on how oss cannot save the product. There are others, but this is the first one that comes to my mind. If you use clearly unethical oss, are you just using oss or are you a part of the problem? Typically, oss purist

Good question. No. Since the press was invented, our records have improved tremendously, partially because of the low cost of maintaing them. However, we still have detailed records from many eras, tracing back at least 3000 years. The egyp

You can take note. Writing is a physical action, e.g. performing output. Writing is an action. You can memorize, take a mental note, but you are not writing. (Someone else mentioned Camōes, a portuguese who famously/allegedly saved his

If you are a 250 year old nation built on "stolen land" (by the europeans, mind you), I would assume not many. But the US has been home to many great writers. This is just stupid.

To be clear, there are excellent american authors, and many comments mention them; its more of a "why am I reading stupid questions about history?"

Reducing these countries to a single name is probably the reason why we can guess this was written by an american; each country has at least a bunch of inspired authors per couple of generations. The country it is actively being bombed righ

One of the projects Im working on and off is a tamper-proof audit log, based on some PoC code I created almost 10 years go; unit and integration testing are good at preventing defects and regressions, but they will not guarantee your softwa

I had no idea mandriva/openmandriva still existed. I still have a mandrake cd somewhere, mostly because I cannot seem to be able to depart from physical media :)

Lol. Honestly, I love Munich, but I totally understand why certain movements galvanized there :p its easy to be on a high horse on a rich land - if something is not right, must be someone else's fault.

One of the reasons is that Germany is not a friendly country for non-german speakers (and/or if you dont have the right profile); I've worked for a while in both Berlin and Munich. In berlin you get away with english, except anyth

This is - by far - the most stupid stuff I've read on the internet the past few days. They didnt find cancer either (as well as a plethora of diseases that could be related to the symptoms), and afaik its not in the report. Yah you can

Yes, they did. And the motivation is quite simple: money. Having the US control export your flagship model is the ultimate stamp approval in the AI race. All headliners are american, but one us too poweful to be made available. It just read
