No one asked for this. Don’t blame parents. This is the government using the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse to restrict your personal freedoms.

Highly recommend you give it a go! Good community, great libraries and the language itself is just bonkers performant without even trying.

The police aren’t going to raid you for using Tor any more than they would for you using a VPN.

Just like any other interaction with your local MP…

Would just like to add it’s not needed so much now. I’m a pretty avid gamer and I’ve been using Bazzite as my OS now for months without issue.

Proton has completely changed the game (pun not intended). All that’s really missing now is the big studios who won’t release their anticheat for Linux.

This doesn’t surprise me. I work for a company that hires a substantial headcount from TCS, probably one of their biggest clients, and the quality of the work is astonishingly bad.

I’d recommend avoiding at all costs but we all know these companies are brought in by non-technical people.

Deno is a JS runtime (written in Rust) on the V8 engine.

What’s horrible about V8?

My biggest criticism of Darwinism is that it takes generations.

100% this. As some who’s regularly derided by his colleagues for “hating meetings”: I don’t “keep meetings to a minimum”, I “keep meetings to a benefit”.

If I’ve called a meeting it’s because there’s a benefit to the instant vocal communication. If you’re not there, you’ve not attended the meeting, no matter which tools you use to record, transcribe or translate.

Conversely, if I thought I didn’t need to be in a meeting, then I wouldn’t send a tool to gather stuff for me to then just ignore the tool output - because I don’t need it.

These tools are a sign of cultural rot from both participants and the fact people are even making them shows deep flaws in how we communicate in the modern workplace.

Likely means S3 compatibility so it can be used with anything, be it a cloud provider or a locally hosted solution like minio

I can already see how this plays out, it falls flat, the increasing decline in search coincides with industry wide realisation LLMs still can’t achieve AGI, this sets alarm bells ringing, they offer a new system for advertisers to promote content via the AI responses since now “it’s just glorified search”

"Safety Orange" is quite apt!

Tool that gains popularity for reducing cognitive load is found to reduce cognitive load. Shocker.

I expect better from El Reg.

The key delineation here is the work is voluntary. I was uneasy reading the article and weighing it up, realised that the author could choose not to work whilst he serves time.

If he was being coerced into labour however, which the for-profit prison undoubtedly makes profit from, it’s simply unacceptable; indentured servitude, slavery, call it what you will, it’s bad for society in every way because it allows the ruling class to steal labour from the working class under the guise of “rehabilitation”.

I don’t understand how a company that has effectively defined modern interfaces, which has the clout to hire the best of the best, has resulted in this.

I fear the apple is starting to rot on the inside.

Anyone using that exercise in melodramatics as their basis for probability of nuclear war deserves to be laughed it and subsequently ignored.

I had same issue and it’s ultimately what killed the Moonlander for me - I dedicated time to get better at touch typing (I already do it from years of chatting in games) and dialling in a layout that worked for how I use computers.

Only to find that I’m mostly using other people’s computers when they call me over to help, and suddenly I’m mashing my meaty paws all over their MacBook as they look on in horror that this supposed technical professional can’t even press the shift key reliably.

Yeah I’ve been using it since it was released and can’t ever remember it being marketed as such.

They’re delivering this so quickly. 72 seconds down to 6 is a remarkable improvement, considering it’s not yet complete and assuming they haven’t spent concerted effort optimising it to perfection.

I have this issue with Devin. Given my limited knowledge of how these work, I believe there is simply too much context for it to take a holistic view of the task and finish accordingly.

If both OpenAI and Devin are falling into the same pattern then that’s a good indication there’s a fundamental problem to be solved here.

Something irked me about this post as a long term EM, and then reading the final part actually provided the clarity: The author is a sociopath.

Stalking your superiors is insane. Most of the behaviour here is insane. Decoy cup size? Present the option that is best for the business and be done with it.

This is a sign of a sick company.

Overly nihilistic view. As someone who was a working nightclub DJ for 5 years, these kind of tools lower the barrier for entry into the hobby and trade and also serve as a great backup plan.

It’s not intended as a replacement to a curated collection of white labels, bootlegs and edits which you build up and over years.

Because the wealth is unequal, sure, but look at how much better the human quality of life is compared to even 50 years ago.

What is wealth when everyone is fed, watered and entertained?

Only stating this as an explanation to why there has not been a civil revolution. People are still dying in poverty with no way to escape every day, and we need to address it.

So you’d be ok with this AI being applied to other industries? Maybe lines of code?

I’m full in on Apple and hoped they nuked iCloud in the UK for this rather than compromise the product.

This is still better than a back door but it sets an awful precedent.

When I joined my current team I found they had changed the technical test after I had interviewed but before I joined. A couple of friends also applied and got rejected because of this new test.

When I finally got in the door and joined the hiring effort I was appalled to find they’d implemented a leetcode-esque series of challenges with criteria such as “if the candidate doesn’t immediately identify and then use a stack then fail interview”. There were 7 more like this with increasingly harsh criteria.

I would not have passed.

They’ve got the weird shit covered still, apparently the joy cons in this gen can be used as mice.

Was heavily rumoured/leaked and this teaser video literally shows them gliding along a surface.

How Nintendo will leverage that functionality, who could honestly say, but that’s the genius of keeping a toy company mindset in an industry full of sports car company mindsets.

It does make you wonder, Safari recently had a burst in features where they modernised and even overtook Chromium/FF in some features, and then in the past year or so it’s languishing again.

I do wonder if the metrics show the average person downloads Chrome straight away so they’re just not investing heavily in it? I mean anyway, who browses traditional websites any more, right…?
