I do a few things at work that I use AI for. Work had a gpt enterprise key, now we’ve moved to claude. Through O365, I also have access to copilot.

Pretty much anything I ask claude or gpt about, I can be sure to get a solid answer or one that was at least on Stack Exchange or Reddit. If that fails, and I drill down a little more on a problem, adding details, they’ll both get a little better after a couple of questions and usually come up with a reasonable answer.

Not copilot. If you ask copilot something and it doesn’t come back in one shot with an authoritative cited answer, just walk away. It makes no attempt to ensure the answer is right or sane. It either hit in training or it didn’t. And if it didn’t, trying to convince it to strike out in a few other directions to solve it is absolutely a fool’s errand.

It’s like they bought into OpenAI, then never got any updates or made any progress. I

Ubuntu, RUN!

NixOS FTW

As long as the encryption keys being used are registered with the ISPs they could decode it.

You would make the law so that if an ISP did not decode traffic for DPI, it would be liable for it. They’d drop any non DPI able packets so fast it’d make your head spin.

WTF you gonna do with PC3 ram, you have a good supply of ancient hardware or something?

It’s not the one thing that’s gone to hell. rent is on it’s way up all over the world, unemployment is way up, food costs are up. Ram, SSD, Gas, Electricity. Over the past year, most things have gotten more expensive. Evevrything has gone up except salaries.

Transport costs are about to skyrocket. That’ll add several more percent on everything.

From an indie dev standpoint, maybe you’re just insulated more than most.

Canonical has never been accused of being able to read the room.

If they really wanted to go down that hole, They could force companies to register keys with the ISP so they could snoop.

With you on Tumblr

TT is scarier now that it’s ‘controlled’. in 1984 concepts, I expect they’ll be sending agents to take care of people that are anti-rightwing.

I don’t think you’ll find that the case. Most people have a problem. They are incapable of being even slightly bored.

If you take away twittler and Facebook, they’ll readily replace them with BlueSky, YouTube and TikTok because they’re easy and low effort.

It’s harder to read a book, do a craft, go for a walk, or anything truly enriching.

My wife tried to exit TT when things got political. She lasted 2 weeks before she made a new non-political following account and went right back at it.

I left Facebook quite some time ago, but have to go back regularly for my HOA bs. I still peek in on my old friendships while i’m there, but don’t engage and make sure to leave quickly.

What else do they touch? How many are employees? The door is only gross because you know it’s being touched. EVERYTHING is being touched, and something like 50% of people don’t wash their hands properly or at all.

Those same people are touching everything else in the store/world. The employees have touched every item on the floor. half of those don’t wash their hands. The door only feels gross because you have no doubt.

There are plenty of ways to make this better. Most of it’s theater because there’s nothing really wrong with touching the door, but some of the ways are not even expensive to make it comfortable for germaphobes.

Single bathroom doors always swing out

Copper-plate the handles

If you have to swing in, add a foot handle.

Then she says Bluesky doesn’t have an algorithm while he defends the openness of Reddit.

These are the experts…

The inevitable end is when they bake the commercials into the stream, take away the skip buttons and ban accounts for timeskipping over commercials through other detectable means.

The inevitable counter is we screencap youtubers, feed it through comskip, and produce commercial-free content and torrent it.

If we don’t do something about it, Walmart will just own everything.

Non-chain stores will be a footnote in history if we don’t keep the chains from playing dirty.

Then, care to take a guess at what happens to prices once they don’t have to fix them?

Oh Jesus, that was a pretty good watch.

TL;DW

Pepsi was caught price fixing for Walmart, specifically to make sure that no other store in the geographic area of a Walmart could buy Pepsi at a price where they could match Walmart.

Try some methods to change your IP.

NewPipe, PipePipe, Grayjay, brave mobile

One of them generally works.

The latest NewPipe is working for me right now. It only ever dies for a few days.

They’re making money by doing it. Conservatives monetize better.

half a dozen different solutions have come and gone. Most of them will suck down all your videos and then charge you for being out of space. Plex used to have sync, So did Amazon.

I’ve moved on to syncthing now, selfhosted ftw
