So what does this mean? Bc like (at least with my boss) whenever I submit ai generated code at work I still have to have a deep and comprehensive understanding of the changes that I made, and I have to be right (meaning I have to be right about what I say bc I cannot say the AI solved the problem). What’s the difference between that and me writing the code myself (+googling and stack overflow)?

The source of this report came to the journalist via the police.

Or this is a report about police activity related to this story.

Entire way not a clear encoding scheme

This has got to be some sort of psyop

That almost feels analogous to the world burning… like this is going to sound a little macabre but are you really expecting 2026 to be better? If so can you articulate why??

When I read about this I’m always brought back to the conversation of “internet as a public utility”. I hope it’s cool if we can take a tangent.

See unlike any of our other utilities like natural gas electricity water and sewage, the only thing that could potentially give any meaningful information about us is our sewage, and the government already tests sewage for diseases. If we allow the government to “sell” us our internet they would basically be able to know everyone we are “talking too”. Also how could we ever have enough regulatory oversight to protect everyone on the internet. Symmetrically if the government wants to have so much regulatory control over our internet it should maybe pay for it.

Like I wouldn’t mind even paying another 50 bucks a month extra for “private internet” just so the government can have their free and regulated “public internet”. Or would I (⁠・⁠–⁠・)⁠ゞ?

We already have activitypub, and projects like Gitea are actively implementing it (at this time I don’t think it’s live enough yet)

I feel like we should be treating git as more of a federated system. What rule is there against pushing to multiple remotes?

Can I ask what this “personal information” could possibly be? I’ve been 100% aware of all the information I put on the internet and the only thing that really bothers me is chatgpt. What information have I put on the internet that I wanted to keep a secret but like “whoops” it ended up on the internet?

Frankly I feel like this is what most people feel like. I mean who cares that Amazon can recommend to me something that I might actually want, it’s still up to me to buy it if I want it. I’m not losing control if anything

There seem to be many of these multicellular animals who don’t feel like a singular individual animal. I was commenting on a post a few months ago about the most genetically simple multicellular animal, this thing has less base pairs than most bacteria, and it can also do this trick where disassociated cells recombine into new individuals. This creature also reproduce sexually if and only if the concentration of fellow individuals is high enough, cells will just leave the body and join a new one like for fun. It really calls into question what an individual is.

Does anyone know where these ratings come from? I don’t care because I don’t know I just want to check if there’s something worth caring about?

The same advantages as all free and open source solution, it’s free and open source. That means how much it’s going to cost to your business is directly under your control. You can make a decision on how you acquire hardware based on your business’s needs. If you want to add or change features you can decide how to do that based on the deals you have with your programmers (like pick the developer you have with the best skills and the lowest cost), and then you get to control how much it costs you and how reliable the result is going to be.

If you feel like the support you get from customer service from Amazon or Google or Microsoft is reliable enough and you don’t need more reliability then go ahead and stick with paid products. But if you already have a team of really expensive and talented engineers you might as well let them solve problems with free and open source equipment.

I wish Rocket Chat got more attention

Shit you’re going to have me learning French now

Fuck the French

I built a custom keyboard, and I used the Mac version of the meta key instead of the windows key. Now that buttons serves as $mod for i3

So I got to the ruminations stage of the RCA too but now I have physic-pills that stop the ruminations and I still can’t sleep*

It might be physiological at this point for me.

That’s what we get for saying “why can’t I get a mortgage when I pay more in rent just bc my credit is bad”, the banks figured out how to rent properties to you.

It literally is, I cannot sleep and I don’t know why. I mean I know some of why but not the root cause.

Ok but I got to choose

My dad got me started programming when I was 12. He gave me the “introduction to c# copyright 2002” (dm me for the isbn if you want, I’ll have to find it later). I might have done 10% of the book before I kind of got bored and started doing whatever the fuck I wanted. By age 16 I got my first job, and then in college I always had some sort of contract… nowadays I’m working full-time.

All I have is that anecdote to say no… I really hope other people have had better experiences than me.

But if my anecdote helps then you could have potentially three to four years of teaching them how to problem solve as a skill before you teach them how to program. I’m grateful for the problem-solving skills my dad gave me.

I’m also really grateful that my elementary School taught us how to type properly

Well let’s just be grateful that he put up his hand
