I've had the resources and intent to build a new PC since about Aug of this year, but was busy with some major work projects + some mid-tier family drama, so kicked it down the road with the goals of pulling the trigger over the holidays.

Fuck, what a mistake that was.

Though far less egregious than OP's case, I have a similar issue.

It commonly happens after commenting or giving 3+ up/down votes to comments in a post (specifically, view changes after giving votes, then returning from post-view to feed-view.)

Normal View

And ofc can't replicate the view change atm.

Yup, this (I feel) is one of the few areas where AI is valuable.

I've got a buddy who just got hired on at a large company as a software developer. Apparently their code base is so arcane and in such unusual frameworks that they recently fed all their documentation to an LLM and are using that to help onboard new employees (vs trying to have experts try to train up people personally).

While I think having a clean and clear codebase should have been their priority, patching it over with an AI teacher is far from the worst solution.

I'm mostly cool with it because they disclosed it was AI up front. Its also a summarization (vs OC), so even if it isn't exactly correct it probably just mixed up a year/dollar value pairing at worst.

You're probably not wrong.

Still, I doubt the rise of AI and the requisite data centers are going to help.

[–] DahGangalang 1 points 2 days ago

That's.....weird.....i can't help but feel the show runners maybe used some AI in drawing out the story?

the duo stumbles across tons of iconic Wasteland locations like New Vegas, a fan favourite Fallout 4 spot, Dinky the T. Rex, and one of the most mysterious cut locations from Fallout: New Vegas.

Oh no, RockPaperShotgun is using AI to write its articles aren't they. That's a shame.

I think the worst part is that 90% of that could've been filmed with absolutely no visual trickery. Like, its mostly just people doing people things.

I could see them trying to fill in a couple of the trickier shots with some AI assisted shots, (like the one where they're at the turn table and it flips between animation, puppets, and "Real Life").

But there's so many AI-isms in here that it legit distracts from the whole vibe. The pinball bouncing before going in the hole and the hair bounce when people turn their heads grate my vision like nails on a chalk board.

My electricity rate went up about 60% from 2020 to 2024. I only pay mind to it once every year or two (primarily to double check if a TOU plan would be advantageous).

Just dug into some docs for the 2026 rates and its looking like we're in for another rate hike next year (+22% from 2024, +92% from 2020).

This is getting out of hand.

Orly? Where's this? Do they openly published their data?

[–] DahGangalang 7 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Completely agree.

Currently working with a smart TV that never touches the internet (just plug other devices into it). I am low key paranoid they have some sub - protocol of HDMI that can connect from the TV to a game system and forward info out....but 90% sure that's just paranoia.....I hope.

 

Wife gave me a heads up that she expects we'll get a Roomba from her parents for Christmas - most likely a Roomba Max 505 or 705 (or the Costco variations on those).

Looking at the Roomba Integrations page for HA, I saw this line:

It currently does NOT work with the newer x05 Wi-Fi models, such as Roomba 105, 405, and 505

I was wondering if anyone had tinkered with any of those candidate models and had any success getting them to work with HA?

 

Hey Devs,

So I'm getting really sick of the XKCD Dependency derived memes being posted on !programmer_humor@programming.dev and other similar communities.

I still like the communities and don't want to leave them....I just want to not hear from then till this far has passed. It sure would be handy if I could block them from showing up in my feeds for 5-10 days.

Either way, appreciate your consideration!

Edit: accidentally linked wrong community.

 

For context, I've dabbled in home brewing. I've made ~4 successful batches based on online recipes. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but also not a complete amateur.

So what happens if you don't rack your mead/wine? I suppose the notion I have is to let it set in primary (assuming there's no fruit/spices to remove after initial fermentation) until its fully clarified before going straight to bottling?

I guess I've assumed there is some problem in the clarification step if you don't "get rid of" the dead yeast that precipitates, but I've never seen anything exploring that as a method.

Can anyone offer their experience?

 

Just got set up with latest update and am having issues with up swipes when scrolling (e.g. on webpages), when up swiping to access open apps/full app listing, and when trying to "back" swipe (i.e. trying to back out of a menu.

To be more descriptive, if I stop scrolling with up swipes, usually the next up swipe won't work and I'll need to do it twice to have it register the gesture.

For opening my list of apps and the full app listing (swiping from very bottom) I usually have to try about 5 times for it to register the gesture. Same for back swiping.

I use the standard Grapheme launcher and haven't installed any new apps since the update. Issue started this morning after the reboot for OS upgrade. I do have a screen protector, but I'm not seeing any issues with any tapping gestures, so I doubt that's the cause.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know any fixes?

So recently had a hankering for some Pokémon hacks so booted up my old Pokémon Storm Silver ROM (using retroarch with Desmume as emulator).

I spun up a new game and played a bit, but it wouldn't let me save a new game since the ROM had my old save data. I decided to just save the game state with the built in retro arch save state functionality. So beat the champion using save states as alternative save feature with 60 hours on game clock (probably MUCH less due to my abuse of ffw feature).

But when you beat the champion, it dumps you back to the title screen. From there, I can only load my old data (since my current play isn't properly saved in the game data). As such, I can't play any of the post elite four content.

Anyone aware of a workaround where I can erase the games data from a save state? Kinda feels like I'm just SOL.

If I am, let this stand as a warning to other Pokémon fans. Always take the time to clear your old data!

Just recently took the leap to Graphene OS from stock android.

One problem I'm having is getting my apps and keeping them updated. Obviously I've been trying to use F-Droid, Accrescent, and the Grapheme provided app store where I can, but work and friends require me to have apps not available there.

I've been using Aurora Store for everything else, but it seems really buggy (tons of instances where apps won't update, will need ~3 tries to properly install, will notify me there was an error when the app clearly installed, etc). Additionally, I saw somewhere that Aurora store has some privacy/security issues (but didn't dive deeper to see what was meant by that).

I've read Obtanium is another option, but it looks like that still will not meet all my needs.

I suppose I should also say that I'm hesitant to use the Play Store / Play Services at all. I get there's sandboxing around them that makes them less invasive, but I don't full grasp how Graphene accomplishes that / what specifically it prevents.

What are you guys using for your App Stores? Should I just put aside my concerns and trust the sandboxed Play Store?

Appreciate your attention and consideration on this!

 

I'm a tech interested guy. I've touched SQL once or twice, but wasn't able to really make sense of it. That combined with not having a practical use leaves SQL as largely a black box in my mind (though I am somewhat familiar with technical concepts in databasing).

With that, I keep seeing [pic related] as proof that Elon Musk doesn't understand SQL.

Can someone give me a technical explanation for how one would come to that conclusion? I'd love if you could pass technical documentation for that.

 

I've heard Reddit is setting themselves up for another major fumble and that it relates to how much Spez is a fanboy of Elon Musk.

I can't find any details on the drama playing out though. Can someone explain the details of what's going on?

I would love to see Lemmy grow with another big "Rexxit" event, but I'm not seeing anything happening to cause one.
