I may sound cynical, but protecting jobs is hardly ever a good argument for blocking new technology in my opinion. You’re at best delaying the inevitable. Society is more likely better off learning early how to use the workforce for new and better tasks. Of course, this needs a healthy and working society, so I of course understand the individual concerns.

Safety on the other hand is a very valid reason to hold back new technology.

Billet has confirmed that they sent a 3090Ti that LMG has been sitting on for 9 weeks now without using or returning.

Okay but could you not cross post to 10 communities or something? I hoped to leave that behind at Reddit.

Thank you OP for providing the whole text and not just a link to a Coockie-popup-paywalled site.

I’ve used them for extension, as it allows you to attach a second, regular USB cable to it.

Man I can’t wait to get 100% out of gmail.

I wouldn’t use Beehaw as the standard, they are way too strict on their moderation in many’s opinion.

This bug has created havocs for me. We had a “last synchronized” time stamp persisted to a DB so that the system was able to robustly deal with server restarts / bootstrapping on new environments.

The synchronization was used to continuously fetch critical incident and visualize them on a map. The data came through a third party api that broke down if we asked for too much data at a time, so we had to reason about when we fetched data last time, and only ask for new updates since then.

Each time the synchronization ran, it would persist an updated time stamp to the DB.

Of course this routine ran just as the server jumped several months into the feature for a few minutes. After this, the last run time stamp was now some time next year. Subsequent runs of the synchronization routine never found any updates as the date range it asked for didn’t really make sense.

It just ran successfully without finding any new issues. We were quite happy about it. It took months before we figured out we actually had a mayor discrepancy in our visualization map.

We had plenty of unit tests, integration tests, and system tests. We just didn’t think of having one that checked whether the server had time traveled to the future or not.

When was cryptocurrency meant to be untraceable? It literally had the complete ledger out in the public.

AMD and Nvidia are basically on par for now, especially so for RTX 4090 vs 7900XTX.

These are day-1 results and must be expected to change significantly through the next six months of driver and game updates.

Upscaling was not tested.

There is !ukraine@sopuli.xyz at least

To moderators: if the mega thread style doesn’t work, could we consider splitting out Musk-news to some other community? The topics comes rapidly and gain a lot of interest, but it’s such a narrow perspective on technology and just drowns other news.

Did you watch the video above? Steve spend some time explaining exactly his thoughts behind not reaching out for comments. I think he argues well.

The creators also get a good chunk of the money from premium as far as I’ve been able to verify (by asking some I follow directly).

I think the load screens is what will kill it for me. I’d like to be immersed in a new universe. Not just select places from a menu and then load that place in.

Because no one creates one that will work on many media types.

The source information and structure of the media types can be quite different, you can’t just add books to sonarr for example. It’s often better with niche tools that to one thing well than some huge bloated software that does everything poorly.

Maybe one day someone will create what you are asking for.

The Internet is actually very fine and alternatives to the big guys will keep popping up.

For tracking in general there are several options like pihole, adguard and NextDNS on a DNS level, Firefox/Orion browsers, Proton / Mullvad etc VPN and services.

For search I’ve been fairly happy with DuckDuckGo for some years, but not swears by Kagi.

What is gone is the early days of the seventies / early eighties with free servers at universities accessible to anyone. It doesn’t scale.

Various models tried to figure it out until we got what we’ve had for the last 10 years, “free” services where you are the product.

What you won’t get going forward is free services that gives you what you want without also tracking and collecting data on you and using it for ads etc.

What you can get is high quality services that you choose to pay for.

For now, a fair bit of them is niche and sort of expensive. Hopefully that will expand to giving is fairly broad service coverage from providers that are mostly crowd funded and open.

This site collects news from multiple sources, tells you their political affiliation, shows the difference in summary based on left / center / right news sources, and optionally shows a lot more like ownership network etc if you pay for it.

Nothing will be neutral, but I like it to get an overview.

By default, FOSS is no more secure or privacy protected than proprietary software. However, it allows the community to peer review the code. So, a popular and active FOSS project can be trusted to be honest and not do nefarious things to your data or devices.

Check activity on their code repository - Stars / Followers and Forks says something about popularity, Issues and pull requests tells you about activity (check comments or check recently closed issues and pull requests), as does the code commits itself.

Edit: Changed wording from secure to trust / honesty. Not all code focus on security; in fact, most code doesn’t.

No, there was a performance embargo for reviewers that wasn’t lifted until after the developers had made their statement a few days ago.

I read

Fabian Nelson, a 38-year-old Redditor from Byram

..and got really worried for a second!

This is why I use a random email for every service that I can simply turn off on my end if they don’t behave.

I’m late but a couple I didn’t see mentioned:

BeardMeetsFood - funny guy doing eating challenges, never thought I could like this kind of content, and the only one I watch in this category

Itchy Boots - Amazing travel videos from a Dutch girl riding her motorcycle through remote places on all continents. Very positive meetings with people all over the earth to give you back hope for humanity.

Nikolai Schirmer - Ridiculously high quality alpine skiing videos, mostly from Norway. Fantastic story telling and nature combined with too steep skiing. Shouldn’t be possible to get this quality for free.

Expedition Evans - very enjoyable videos of sailboat life for a couple and their two dogs.

Beau Miles - best story teller I know of. Adventurer that mostly make videos about local projects where he’s doing something that involves running very long while philosophizing about interesting topics.

Harry Mack - the most insane freestyle rapper ever, usually makes content on the spot for people on the street or online.

Sheena Melwani - Whenever I need a laugh. Her husband Trid is hilarious. Short videos of them laughing and joking basically.

Iron Chef Dad - wholesome videos with his son, for example making gourmet out of fast food.

Galdoc’s Tutorials - great DevBlog content from making a Factorio mod. Development, debugging, designing, Blender. Fairly technical. Great voice.

Stuff Made Here - great engineering channel, makes crazy contraptions like a moving basket hoop you’ll always hit, a hair cutting robot, auto-aiming bow etc.

There is no excuse for LastPass and it absolutely should not be treated with your passwords or secrets.

Ohhh f.. I love Figma. We have promoted it as a great tool internally. Company started using it. Then the enterprise.

No way i or anyone else here will start to pay Adobe prices for it!

It’s not, really, I switched from Google some years ago and had accepted my faith with DuckDuckGo, but then tried out Kagi. I use search so much daily for work, the relief of getting quality results again is immense and probably saves me hours per week. I get much better results from Kagi than I got at the end from Google, and I can tune them to my liking:

• block Pinterest results when I search for images,
• downprioritize shopping results,
• rewrite all Reddit links to go to old.reddit.com,
• unamp google AMP links
• summarize long texts / documents
• quick answer from the top 5 results

..and so on and so on. It’s just so effective.

This is just a simple aggregation based on rank, such that the lowest score wins.

Edit: There is no difference in score between Norway and Denmark, I tried to number both as 1 but can’t figure out the correct markdown. Finland and Sweden also shares the same aggregate score. And Australia refuses to get in line.

Any links to dress fashion for men?

I’m all for it. I hate wearing pants in the summer, but we’re not allowed to wear shorts. However, no one can refuse me wearing a long skirt or dress!

For your consolation, many “answers” there are poor and just copy pasted from some open website anyway.

You have to realize that their business model is marking questions as answered so that they can paywall access and lure people in. This might affect their quality control…

I won’t stop sending to Google recipients. I have moved my email to Proton, but because of lacking search functionality there I have not yet migrated historic emails.

I’ve stopped using other Google services and deleted data except for Maps and YouTube. Maps I can probably get rid of. YouTube I’ll keep but may be able to use a more fake account.

Just use https://www.summarize.tech/, and if the transcript is too long, send it to a summarize like Kagi.

But that’s literally what you do, you build a starter factory to help you build a mid tier research factory which can then help you build a proper factory that can support megascale production

Any Lemmy app where I can filter out content on keywords like Trump and Musk will be my new daily.

I guess I could have kept those 55 bitcoins and just sat on them instead of investing them into some scam and losing them, that would have been a bit more funny?

Or it’s “funny” how rich I’d be if I sold them on $60k evaluation? Haha…

The concept is useful. A well known idea capture of it is the famous “As We May Think” article from Vannevar Bush all the way back in 1945, which conceptualized a machine “Memex” that would enhance humans capabilities with for example memory and recall. A lot of humans needs help with this and use devices for this daily, with notes, map lookups of where you parked, find my things for devices, analytics for photo libraries etc etc etc.

The only issue here is the implementation.

Isn’t it the better of two evils with a non-functional GOP government than a highly functional one? I would just bring the popcorn.

It’s really cool, but the example doesn’t produce any sensible output? If you have created something like this, why wouldn’t you have your demo output something sensible like Fibonacci or 1337 or whatever.

While the root issue was still unknown, we actually wrote one. It sort of made sense. Check that the date from isn’t later than date to in the generated range used for the synchronization request. Obviously. You never know what some idiot future coder (usually yourself some weeks from now) would do, am I right?

However, it was far worse to write the code that fulfilled the test. In the very same few lines of code, we fetched the current date from time.now() plus some time span as date.to, fetched the last synchronization timestamp from db as date.from, and then validated that date.from wasn’t greater than date.to, and if so, log an error about it.

The validation code made no logic sense when looking at it.

Lemmy and Tildes has really shown me how much more interesting information is when it’s given by a real person with some context or an opening post.

A news article posted by a bot to… farm karma on Lemmy?? It’s just noise. Many of such articles posted have clickbait titles and comments under them tend to have less value and are based around uniformed opinions coming from the (often misleading) title alone.

Quality aside, I guess I don’t really see the point. To who’s benefit are bot content posted? It feels like advertising to me. I’d like to think that the community are able to sustain itself by the content someone cared enough about to bother post it here.

In short, bot created content is noise to me, while content posted by real persons has value.
