Nobody is asking the real question. Why is there a magnet in the cat's collar? Depending on how strong it is, it may even be dangerous.

Is 2 days without shower really that bad? I frequently go 2-3 days without showering, especially if i am not physically active.

Using automation tools isn't something new in engineering. One can claim that as long as a person is involved and guiding/manipulating the tool, it can be copyrighted. I am sure laws will catch up as usage of AI becomes mainstream in the industry.

Pointing out won't do, we need moderation.

According to the article grammatical errors are not the reason. The reason is that AI uses simpler vocabulary to mimic a regular conversation of average people.

I don't think this will work well and others already explained why, but thanks for using this community to pitch your idea. We should have more of these discussions here rather than CEO news and tech gossip.

When there are multiple relevant communities, I post on the smaller community and crosspost that to the bigger one. I hope thay this would advertise the smaller community in the bigger one since I expect that some people in the bigger one may be interested in the smaller community but don't know about it.

This is a good one. We get standard phishing tests which make no sense. It is usually a person I don't know, from a company I haven't heard of asking me to edit/review a file they share. People who design these tests should know that people do NOT jump into the opportunity of editing/reviewing files or receiving tasks. I imagine real phishing attacks must be smarter than this.

If you knew about the birds and the bees, you would know that this wasn't random.

Covid advice was simple, people understood it but many didn't comply because they didn't find it convenient. There were also covid-deniers, and people who significantly underestimated it. There were people who found corporate cyber security measures inconvenient too in the places I worked, but ignorance was I think always the more important reason.

I also think it isn't enough for the advice to be simple, it should be somewhat easy to apply. "Don't fall into phishing emails". Sure, but how? Then it lists a bunch of tricks and hints and people can rarely remember all, and apply while they go through tens of emails daily. I think this is the message from the article.

Web design is not the only option for someone who likes programming. Since you are still a student, there are so many options in front of you. You can be an embedded engineer and work closer to hardware, design firmware, electronic chips themselves or their verification environment. You can be a software engineer and work on business-to-business software which does not include adds and is very useful (e.g. CAD tools, inventory trackers for supermarkets and hospitals etc.). There is so much you can do, pursue something you are enthusiastic about.

I don't realistically expect such ban to happen. I started banning everyone who posts about Musk instead, my feed got a lot cleaner.

Where is The IT Crowd community when you need one?

In my first ever programming class textbook was using Allman. Probably for this reason, it is easy for a beginner to match braces. It is a lot loss common industry to my knowledge.

Some days I work from office just so that I walk to the office.

I have a feeling that next generations will feel about the office what we feel about Married with Children and other kind of "wife bad" shows. I find it funny and laugh but if you think about it it is horrible.

Are you writing from your grave?

I realized that there is one actually !itcrowd@lemmy.world

There is a significant difference. Your fingerprint information is stored on the phone, and you can remove that information anytime you want, even dispose the phone if you have to. In this case a company will have your biometric information and "hopefully" protect it. Because once it is stolen, you cannot change your hand just like you would change your password.

Lifelong mental trauma as legacy

In this article RTL refers to register transfer level. It is a way of describing hardware on very low level, it uses registers for memory (which usually translates to flip-flops when/if synthesized), wires, basic arithmetic and logic operations, but terminology may slightly change based on which rtl language is being used. It can be used to design a CPU, or any ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) chip. Instructions may resemble to processor instructions, but the end result is fundamentally different. You may run a set of instructions on a processor, while what rtl describes is often synthesized and becomes the hardware itself which performs the operations (e.g. arithmetic logic unit in the cpu).

Maybe accuracy could be a selling point but it isnt mentioned in the linked article (maybe mentioned in their paper?). Fingerstick-free methods which measure it from surface have relatively lower accuracy. Also what is measures is not the blood but interstitial glucose level so it is delayed. But the correlation and delay of saliva glucose levels against blood glucose levels is also not mentioned. I hope this research can pave the way for something beneficial eventually. Edit: I tried to dig down the original paper but it is paywalled.

I agree that AI can decimate workforce. My point is, other tools did that already and this is not unique to AI. Imagine electronic chip design. Transistor was invented in 40s and it was a giant tube. Today we have chips with billions of transistors. Initially people were designing circuits on transistor level, then register transfer level languages got invented and added a layer of abstraction. Today we even have high level synthesis languages which converts C to a gatelist. And consider the backend, this gate list is routed into physical transistors in a way that timing is met, clocks are distributed in balance, signal and power integrity are preserved, heat is removed etc. Considering there are billions of transistors and no single unique way of connecting them, tool gets creative and comes with a solution among virtually infinite possibilities which satisfy your specification. You have to tell the tool what you need, and give some guidance occasionally, but what it does is incredible, creative, and wouldn't be possible if you gathered all engineers in the world and make them focus on a single complex chip without tools' help. So they have been taking engineers' jobs for decades, but what happened so far is that industry grew together with automation. If we reach the limits of demand, or physical limitations of technology, or people cannot adapt to the development of the tools fast enough by updating their job description and skillset, then decimation of the workforce happens. But this isn't unique to AI.

I am not against regulating AI, I am just saying what I think will happen. Offloading all work to AI and getting UBI would be nice, but I don't see that happening in near future.

I thought your first sentence was serious at first, since it genuinely makes sense to me. If growing a jellyfish causes animal suffering, I can see why a vegan may reject to eat it for ethical reasons.

Judging from the resistance and physical size, it looks like these are power resistors (sense?). Since thermal connection to pcb is very poor, not sure if it is gonna work under high current.

I would have never thought about this.

What is the misunderstanding here?

That sounds fun and creative

I love airplane, I will check others.

vegan or lactose intolerant

We should stop calling these titles confusing and call them what they are, plain wrong. This is the title of the original article. People who cannot write grammatically correct titles are writing entire articles.

In my last two jobs in two different countries the unwritten rule is to not schedule a meeting between 12-13. Not everyone has lunch at the same time, and everyone is free to have lunch whenever they want, but this guarantees that you will have some time to have lunch even if you are booked by meetings around noon. But it doesn't really solve the timezone issue.

Model does not keep track of where it learns it from. Even if it did, it couldn't separate what it learnt and discard. Learning of AI resembles to improving your motor skills more than filling an excell sheet. You can discard any row from an Excell sheet. Can you forget, or even separate/distinguish/filter the motor skills you learnt during 4th grade art classes?

It is definitely not something I will rush. There is nothing that forces me to get PhD right away so I will wait until I find something very interesting, and a good advisor.

Disagree. Being happy on your own is as valid. Some people just like it that way.

In order to save what I did in flipanim I must have an account. I tried to register but it asks for an invitation code. I googled it a bit, according to some user comments in flipanim I believe they closed new account registration at the moment.

It is easier to implement ALU, memory and interpreter in Verilog and run the code with that at that point.

I should have thought of that
