If I get a choice, I think i would prefer my country to be united by hydrogen and fire

Well it’s not improving my productivity, and it does mostly slow me down, but it’s kind of entertaining to watch sometimes. Just can’t waste time on trying to make it do anything complicated because that never goes well.

Tbh I’m mostly trying to use the AI tools my employer allows because it’s not actually necessary for me to believe that they’re helping. It’s good enough if the management thinks I’m more productive. They don’t understand what I’m doing anyway but if this gives them a warm fuzzy feeling because they think they’re getting more out of my salary, why not play along a little.

What gets me is that even the traditional business models for LLMs are not great. Like translation, grammar checking, etc. Those existed before the boom really started. DeepL has been around for almost a decade and their services are working reasonably well and they’re still not profitable.

As someone who sometimes makes demos of our own AI products at work for internal use, you have no idea how much time I spend on finding demo cases where LLM output isn’t immediately recognizable as bad or wrong…

To be fair it’s pretty much only the LLM features that are like this. We have some more traditional AI features that work pretty well. I think they just tagged on LLM because that’s what’s popular right now.

I played it on Steam Deck and it was fine. And the Switch 2 is more powerful than that, although it also has a much higher display resolution.

Sometimes mandatory web proxies still allow direct connections to port 443 so as to not break https, which in return means as long as your connection is to port 443, that proxy will pass it through without interfering.

I used to run sshd on port 443 for this reason back when I regularly had to work from client networks.

I played MIDI Maze on Atari ST as a kid, that was long before Quake…

Later in high school we played Doom over IPX.

On Linux, rm can delete empty directories with -d too, not just with -r.

rmdir is the counterpart to mkdir, which creates empty directories, so of course it can only remove empty directories. After all mkdir can’t create full directories either. There however is rmdir -p as a counterpart to mkdir -p, so if there is something in the directory, you can use that, as long as the something is an empty directory.

They wants us to live short lives fighting illnesses and amongst ourselves, instead of them

I don’t get it… if he doesn’t like gay sex why doesn’t he just stop having gay sex and call it a day

Problem is they’ve been smoking whatever Google AI recommends for too long now

EasyMesh exists. But not many companies implement it.

The article says it started on a Friday morning in Minnesota. It’s clear that that’s when the attack started and not a case of the first guy starting work that day discovering that it happened, because the article also says that they tried to contain it as it was going on, but ultimately failed.

Minnesota is at UTC-5 and China is at UTC+8, meaning when it’s morning in Minnesota, it’s already 13 hours later in China, i.e. middle of the night.

On the ground they only arrived 2 months after the USSR captured Berlin, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t do any bombing runs before…

HFS has this limitation but isn’t the default file system anymore since several years ago.

32-bit systems could only handle 4 GB of RAM

I don’t understand why people always say that. Pentium Pro could handle 64 GB even though it was a 32 bit CPU. It had a 36 bit address bus. Later models are the same.

Chest Void Failure

He’s not from Russia though. He was born in Uzbekistan and he was 5 when the Soviet Union collapsed. He grew up in Malta and in the US.

I think in the future, it is advisable to use larger distributions where a lot of eyes look at, like Debian.

This reminds me of the time when Debian broke their OpenSSL and for two years, ssh keys generated on Debian were basically taken from a pool of only 32k different keys…

That time it was an honest mistake, but it would actually have been a very efficient attack too if it had been intentional. Imagine succeeding at getting your target to use private keys for ssh or ssl etc. from a tiny pool that makes something usually impossible to brute force suddenly trivial. And nobody noticed it for two years.

It’s just a natural immune reaction. Trying to burn us off with fever
