LOL. Let me guess "just use Emacs/vim"?

No thank you bruv. Been there, done that. Terrible experience.

https://www.spacemacs.org/

https://vimawesome.com/

https://github.com/lunarvim/lunarvim

All of these emulated only a fraction of the power of IDEs, even after weeks of trying to get them configured properly.

Inb4 "you're doing it wrong". Nah mate, IDEs work out of the box and don't require opening a text file to change settings while going through reams of documentation.

I right click in a file and it shows me the most important contextual commands. No need to find the " leader key", scroll through all the 1 billion commands, I don't have to "download a LSP and DAP" then "configure treesitter" or whatever the fuck kind of apes are in the editor.

Those editors have steep learning curves and get you productive eventually. IDEs get you there much more quickly. Yeah yeah, they hide complexity and "people don't know what's actually going on anymore" but sometimes I just want to get going instead of fighting my editor first. Feel me?

How does this compare to ollama?

Initially embarking on a manual audit of ksmbd to benchmark o3’s potential, Heelan quickly realized that the model was able to autonomously identify a complex use-after-free vulnerability in the handler for the SMB ‘logoff’ command—an issue Heelan himself had not previously detected.

No shit. They should be throttled worldwide outside of the US.

Where are you applying? Is it only locally for in office or hybrid jobs? I said "fuck it" and applied worldwide: Japan, Singapore, Portugal, Switzerland, Australia, Thailand, Canada, South Africa, Fiji, etc. You'd be surprised how many are actually willing to provide a work visa for candidates.

Also, if you're willing to move or just work remotely, there are many more options. I was open to seeing a different place and so far that's been to my advantage.

Relocateme, ethicaljobs, jobsforgood, ratracerebellion, 4daywork(week), offerzen (post your profile and let employers find you), remote dot com, and other sites all make this kind of stuff possible.

Nobody can be surprised. I don't even use discord and know of the stuff you can buy to make you seem cooler. People will buy anything to feel superior to others.

Meanwhile: vim and Emacs users, constantly installing and configuring plugins to emulate a fraction of the power of IDEs, go "just use vim/Emacs".

Did they resolve their issue with that other company? I can't remember what was going on but the owner of automattic was pissed about them not contributing back or something? Did something change?

Anything built on top of atproto I tend to distrust. Doesn't it all hinge upon the makers of bluesky hosting their central node for it to work?

Why? "Because everybody else does" is the most common excuse. Microsoft could be physically rawdogging people's fathers and it wouldn't matter. Belong to the "in" crowd is what matters for most people. Can't forget "idgaf" either.

You could be the most hard-left, anti-capitalist, anarchist person on the planet and still host your project on Github. In fact there are such people on Github.

Until an alternative becomes popular, early adopters of forgejo, sourcehut, radicle, and others have to proselytise their platforms. Things just don't change otherwise.

They weren't already? The amount of money they shuffle around and the megalomaniacal ideas they have that are just dreams of complete control (their own towns, cities, islands, with their own currency and so on), this cannot be surprising. I'm honestly surprised it wasn't already what they were doing.

If you click the link, you'll see that Rust projects are no exception in their use of MIT. Do you believe other programming language communities also just care about spreading?

So much better now

 

Let's reinvent java bytecode but... different

 

We test the Linux-first, all-AMD Sirius 16 laptop, discuss the new Hyprland release, and share a few stories from our recent trip.

 

Just finished watching MKBHD's video "Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them" yt indivio

I'm wondering, why is it that people buy big phones. Is it a conscious decision? Something that just unconsciously happened while selecting a phone? A lack of choice? What?

 

Imagine performing a sweep around an object with your smartphone and getting a realistic, fully editable 3D model that you can view from any angle. This is fast becoming reality, thanks to advances in AI.

In a notable shift toward sanctioned use of AI in schools, some educators in grades 3–12 are now using a ChatGPT-powered grading tool called Writable, reports Axios. The tool, acquired last summer by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, is designed to streamline the grading process, potentially offering time-saving benefits for teachers. But is it a good idea to outsource critical feedback to a machine?

Writable lets teachers submit student essays for analysis by ChatGPT, which then provides commentary and observations on the work. The AI-generated feedback goes to teacher review before being passed on to students so that a human remains in the loop.

"Make feedback more actionable with AI suggestions delivered to teachers as the writing happens," Writable promises on its AI website. "Target specific areas for improvement with powerful, rubric-aligned comments, and save grading time with AI-generated draft scores." The service also provides AI-written writing prompt suggestions: "Input any topic and instantly receive unique prompts that engage students and are tailored to your classroom needs."

 

Does anybody know how that's going? It's been 2 years.

Do you keep access logs? How long do you keep them?

I imagine that if you ever got a request, you'd understandably just give in and hand out the data. Have you thought of a canary?

Thanks for all your work!

 

Inspired by a discussion I had elsewhere and the article "Women in Games swaps male and female voices to highlight harassment in gaming", how about we start a voice modulation challenge where you have to play at least one online game with a voice modulator to sound like a girl?

I'm curious what the experiences would be like.

 

This would be a great development for new contributors!

There was a discussion on LWN.net about it
