Alpha male? Is it a furry thing?

She’s a planewalker

Walk without a rhytm, and you won’t attract the worm!

MacBook: I use two screens and I constantly move the bottom bar between them by accident. The only built-in way to override that is to fix both screens as the same workspace, but this means any time you use fullscreen, the other screen also switches to “another” workspace.

Lots of hardware lies about its useful capabilities.

Can you run 4k? Of course. But can you run more than 4 frames a second?

Both are valid (if you’d add seconds) in both RFC 3339 and ISO 8601, but timezone support is the same here and there…

Yeah, and the same thing would happen if e.g. PII or HIPAA related would end up in trained model. The fact that some PII or health data ended up being publicly available, doesn’t mean that automatically you can process or store such data, and train on such data.

If you do stuff, earn from it, and ignore parties and their rights, you are forced to compensate. I guess it will be peanuts though.

The AI companies shown that they are incapable of regulating themselves on this topic, and so people with art at stake should force their hand.

Open source or not doesn’t matter here, what matters is the copyright. If even Disney can defend works they own (whatever their ethics), so should anyone else.

That’s exactly what’s at stake, waiting to be sufficiently litigated. And I hope that creators will win, and that they would be able to tell if they allow richest big tech companies in the world to train on their creations.

It is missing one point: as a creator, I want to be able to forbid you from training on my creations. And the only tool that could enable that is the copyright enforcement over AI training.

I live in central Europe and work remotely with US team. Most people locally work from 7-8, I start work at 10.

10 years ago I’d be awake from 12 till 3 in the morning, it took me a few years to migrate towards 10 till 1. I still do oversleep on weekends, though.

It’s not about not using safety standards.

It’s about learning how to drive in a way that you won’t put anyone else in danger.

Safety fearures are only a tool, you are the person who controls a 2000 pound vehicles that can kill others, so drive responsibly.

This is so fucking stupid because you can apply it to literally any safety standard.

And then you write something exactly opposite.

OP writes about “drive to the conditions” which is like… Your responsibility as the driver. If you can’t react to people on the road, slow down.

And you write about being recless.

OP wanted a fun child project, but it’s not fun anymore, just responsibilities.

The problem I see is just a difference between expectations and reality.

Expectations were: it would be fun to give people something for free, create open source, be part of some community. Maybe even get some recognition, maybe better job offers.

Reality is: noone cares about your open source project enough to pay for it.

And such is life. Noone stops you from just stopping working on it, and that’s an adult option. All open source licences have a clause like “I don’t own you nothing”, and maybe that’s the moment to use it.

TIL this is one of the inspirations for Night Watch book by Terry Pratchett

I could get a beefy windows machine for the price of my M2 air. I’m a software dev and I’ve recently switched from Windows 10 box and Linux laptop.

If you look at the other top stories on Technology, you see:

• MS mentions pushing AI search to Windows 10
• MS asks you for reasons to close OneDrive

For last month, MS was pastering me to create a web account to login to my old win10 machine.

And essentially, MS got me soo tired with all this bullshit, that I’ve switched to Apple. And the only thing that I have to be aware of, is that it often makes sense to wait before upgrading system version.
