Just call it Ecmascript and be done with it. The name JavaScript was misleading from the beginning. Well, Ecma sounds like a skin disease but who cares.

“Is a $100 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card for a trash collector wrongful?” wrote Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the court’s opinion. “What about a $200 Nike gift card for a county commissioner who voted to fund new school athletic facilities? Could students take their college professor out to Chipotle for an end-of-term celebration?”

In my country government employees (including teachers) can't legally accept gifts above €10 in value. All of these examples would be illegal here. Sounds petty, but anti-corruption laws are pretty strict for a reason.

I don't like this story. The outcome is only accidentally good and what the author seems to miss entirely is the elephant in the room: A crass failure to communicate with the developers. If you try to establish something like KPIs (not commenting on if that is good or bad here) you need to talk to the team and get them on board. If you treat them like lab rats and try to measure individual performance from the outside that is an obvious fail. In the end, where they state that they "quietly" dropped it, indicates that the real lesson was not learned.

Uh, and a dilbert comic.

Time to resurrect a classic

Media Corporations should not have a say in disconnecting users from the internet based on copyright infringement. The right to social participation is part of a basic human right - self-determination. Today, the majority of interactions with society involve communication via internet in one way or another, so that access to the internet is vital for enabling social participation.

Don't want to spoil your little circlejerk here, but that should not surprise anyone, considering chatbots are trained on vast amounts of human data input. Humans have a rich history of violence with only brief excursions into "collaborating for the good of mankind and the planet we live on". So unless you build a chatbot that focuses on those values the result will inevitably be a mirror image of us human shitbags.

Maybe use a search engine instead of an LLM? It's pretty easy to find. On a sidenote, ChatGPT and similar LLMs are known to be absolutely unreliable and error prone. Please do yourself a favor and don't rely on anything an LLM tells you.

You forgot that he is also responsible for at least part of the 1 million Covid related deaths in the USA. His unscientific bullshit had a huge impact on people who believed that Covid is nothing more than a common cold.

I'm not the original commenter. And I didn't want to offend you, just wanted give some friendly advice, because it irks me how many people seem to use chatGPT for fact finding. Chill

Edit: If you look for "Paul Wellstone" and "Vietnam War Memorial" you'll find what the OC was on about.

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-oct-26-na-wellstone26-story.html "Wellstone also staged a news conference in front of the Vietnam War Memorial on the National Mall, drawing the ire of many veteran groups. Wellstone later said the event was a mistake."

Just an example of many

Maybe he plans to kill himself when things get difficult.

The problem with this: Option b is not realistically an option. The whole point of Hamas hiding in civilian infrastructure and mingling with civilians is disguise. Or to put it another way: to make option b completely unfeasible. How would you identify Hamas members? Do they wear their bright orange terrorist uniform? Can you spot them by their mean facial expressions? And there is another problem with option b. Civilians in the building naturally do not see the IDF as their saviors from Hamas oppression, so there is a high chance that some of them will suddenly turn into non-civilians. Which leads to an out of control scenario and resulting bloodbath.

Disclaimer: This is not meant as a justification of option a. I'm just pointing out that option b is not a realistic option.

From the article: "It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law"

End of story.

Same here. On the upside, "All“ on Lemmy has a much higher quality than what Reddit had in the past years. I really enjoy my daily doomscroll on Lemmy.

If anyone wants to know more about the math, I think this refers to https://www2.nau.edu/lrm22/lessons/scientific_method/santa.html

It's a little bit worse than that in fact. "Programmiererinnen und Programmierer" or "Programmierer:innen" or "Programmierende". And if you get it wrong you are not a grammar nazi but more of a regular nazi.

/s just in case

That looks like advice on how NOT to ask for technical support on a public forum.

1. Be generic and vague. Omit as many details as possible, this will only distract from the problem at hand.
2. remember to include your private API key to share it with the world.

Technically it's not the same, in case of IMAP they would need to literally put spam mails into your account. As opposed to having visual elements in the UI that pretend to be an email. Might not feel like a big difference but actively poisoning the users inbox is pretty bad.

Deutsche Gründlichkeit at work. They not only infiltrate the party but take it over completely, up to the point where they do such a good job in pretending to be nazis that they become nazis themselves. 💯

Having a dedicated technical architect who hovers above the dev team handing architectural decisions down is also not always seen as an ideal construct in software development.

There are some media reports claiming that there was simply another unidentified participant in the conference call and they didn't notice. 🤷

They could be sentient without us knowing. But they live on a different time scale. Everything we do to them would happen very quickly in their perception. So don't worry and bon appetit.

Valid points indeed, but I think this strategy might not work in his favor, because anyone who had to endure any kind of racial discrimination based on something like skin color will be offended by these attacks. The old white man simply doesn't have any legitimacy to comment on someone being too black or not black enough. It's disgusting and weird.

What about an F-150? There's plenty of those and last time I checked 150 is more than 15.

01-01-1997, and please make sure everyone remembers what happens till 2023

The video's title "worst car ever reviewed" was not as balanced though :D

Ok, maybe it helps to be more specific. We have an LLM which is based on a broad range of human data input, like news, internet chatter, stories but also books of all kinds including those about philosophy, diplomacy, altruism etc. But if the topic at hand is "conflict resolution" the overwhelming data will be about violent solutions. It's true that humans have developed means for peaceful conflict resolution. But at the same time they also have a natural tendency to focus on "bad news" so there is much more data available on the shitty things that happen in the world which is then fed to the chatbot.

To fix this, you would have to train an LLM specifically to have a bias towards educational resources and a moral code based on established principles.

But current implementations (like ChatGPT) don't work that way. Quite the opposite, in fact: In training, first we ingest all the data that we can get our hands on (including all the atrocities in the world) and then in a second step we fine-tune the LLM to make it "better".

Oh, I just updated manually and found the option "mark read on scroll". That should fix it.

Thank you! Jerboa is by far my favorite Lemmy App. Good Work!

This happened just this morning. Probably not the dumbest thing ever, and I blame Snap for putting things where they don't belong: I deleted stuff from the /run/user/1000/doc directory. Turns out the files there are in fact hard links to files which actually reside somewhere else. Well, they were, until I deleted them forever.

Background: Firefox (as an Ubuntu snap package) downloads files in some kind of sandbox mode and references stuff there for some obscure reason. That was my weekly reminder to get rid of snap packages because snap sucks in a myriad of ways.

Trickle down economics

Did you know you can edit your posts? Could be helpful for other readers since you were incorrectly posting in several messages that wine needs root access.

I have a Mould King 13112 RC Excavator. All parts are on par and compatible with Lego bricks. Excellent quality, a bit tighter fit than regular Lego and the model itself is way more interesting and fun to build than anything Lego has produced in the Technic line in the past years. On top it is much cheaper than a comparable Lego set and it has an excellent building manual.

Probably AI generated

Raises hand 11 years. I too switched to Reddit when digg went south.

I wonder why user tests aren't even mentioned once in the article. If you design an interface you have to test it with your audience

I'm using a lepotato for Home Assistant. Works very well for months now, but I'm a bit worried about long term distro support

I was wondering if that might be a thing. Saw people talk about "the codes" instead of "code" more than once.

because both letters and emoji together form a word, like b+🌧️ = brain

If you tell your kid McD is something special then whenever you pass a McD it will feel a craving and want it. This is how brand obedient consumers are made. If instead you let them have McD for a week or two they will see the food for what it is.

Fsst food chains hate this simple trick

Indeed. People looked much older in their actual age in the 1950s to 1980s than today. Don't know why though.
