Literally last night I was trying to set up books in Jellyfin and dismayed to see the bookshelf plugin archived with no mention of ongoing support. Very happy to see it’s been folded into the server!

The key point being: > Because women tend to earn less than men and are likelier to hold multiple jobs, the figure suggests hiring is clustered in low-paying, contingent roles, meaning it’s not “necessarily a positive story for women ove

My belief is that humans need to struggle through the process of learning to code, learning maths etc. in order to actually build the neural pathways to do the hard things AI can’t do yet. I feel some skills atrophying for me, and I worry e

I also review all of my AI-generated code. I feel that it’s disrespectful to my teammates to send unverified slop for review. I’ve noticed that while my coding skills have very noticeably atrophied (to the point I am consciously schedulin

There are deterministically computable metrics for cognitive complexity and readability[0]. They’re not perfect by any means — and I suspect they’re already included in the RL process for coding evals, and have been for some time. I do thin

There is Filecoin, which sounds somewhat similar conceptually to what you describe (albeit with the standard blockchain caveats).

It was always an American company. In order to launch rockets from countries in the US sphere of influence (even from NZ), companies must obtain an FAA license. Rocket technology itself is so intensely regulated by US export control laws th

This Microsoft notion of “devices that don’t stand alone but surround you” sounds an awful lot like Google’s “ambient computing” of yonder.

This is the right balance for me as well. I use an agent to generate a first-pass attempt, and then (deadlines willing), I manually read every line at least once so I understand what the code actually does. Then I manually fix the inevitabl

As another, intermittently suicidal person, I have never received helpful support from a hotline. In fact, I have never managed to speak to another human on the phone at all. Out of four hotline calls in my life, mostly as an older teenager

> Also, why is he talking about “friends” and “strangers”? We all know he means “women". Does he? It seems like he socialised mainly with men in the documented interactions. Perhaps he really was just lonely in the general sense.

Separation of functions/concerns is not great, for starters. The testes are dangerously exposed, the plumbing is convoluted and failure-prone (and doesn’t recover well from mechanical insults). The prostate, which serves no function ou

From my perspective (talking very generally about the mood and environment here), it’s important to remember that Google is a very, very big company with many products and activities outside of AI. As far as I can see, there is a mix of fru

I shared the concern around vendor lock-in initially, and I still do to some extent… but this can be quite easily mitigated by registering multiple passkeys for each account. Where I use them, I have at least two of {iCloud Keychain, hardwa

The issue here is that in order to do its thing, uBlock Origin requires quite extensive access to the browser context, including the ability to intercept network traffic. It’s pretty easy to see how this could be abused by malicious extensi

There is some indication that the failure point was in the rocket’s structure itself. So, the bits doing the securing may have worked fine, but the rocket just ripped itself off the pad and left the bolted-down bits behind. Either way, a ve

This comes across as quite scathing critique of an open source tool that has provided an extremely high standard of security and reliability over decades, despite being built on technologies that don’t offer the guardrails outlined in poi

If they ever do this, it’ll probably take the form of a proprietary userspace FS interface that will only work through Finder and will require the binary to be downloaded from the Mac App Store or otherwise signed by Apple. Every dev that w

Completely agree with this. Problems are solved by people, not code. Code is a tool that can either improve, degrade or leave unchanged the state of a system/service. Plus, code is usually the easiest, quickest bit of the process (perh

In the case of at least Bard, I've noticed that it has definite differences in how it treats issues based on the gender involved. If you say "I think a female classmate has a crush on me, what should I do?" it (a) generally a

This definitely feels like more of a tech demo for things to come. But I suspect it could get dramatically better in a matter of months or single-digit years.

Snap is more of a messaging app afaict. I'm pretty sure the biggest harms from social media come from algorithmic targeting of content, echo chamber creation, and the ability to hugely amplify fringe opinions and destabilise debate. If

It's worth considering that not all Wh are equal in environmental impact. In the case of many (most?) big tech firms, a large proportion of their energy consumption is sourced from renewable sources.

Trump might still go south... It's hard to tell what's true on that front, and it's still early days. Still looks promising though.

There are plenty of reasons one would switch from a car that they love driving to a car that is less enjoyable to drive, but still acceptable. For example, switching from an expensive Audi car with fantastic handling to a mid-range Mazda di

Sounds more like an application load balancer issue ("routing requests" seems to imply L7) than network routing, but I might be misunderstanding.
