> In 1 minute it comprehends a complex niche code base and points out subtle errors with very little noise. A senior engineer we would have taken months to do less.

They of course operate faster than humans, but this is hyperbole. Unless your senior engineer sucks.

Dawson's Creek had iconic music, but as far as I can tell, the series with the original music is unobtainium. Afaict the pirates can't even get it.

I only see downvote sometimes, for some reason. I don't see it available on the comments on this post.

Also, if the govt steps in, the AI companies can declare force majeure so they can kick the can down the road a bit longer.

Oracle is the canary.

Nobody makes their flight.

My first ever "hack" was for Strip Poker on the C64.

When I looked on the disk, I saw that the pictures were listed as, eg LADY01 up to LADY05.

11 year old me was pretty excited when I thought, "what would happen if I renamed the files?"...

That just seems weird to me? PS5s are expensive.

Those BC250 are 1/3 the price. Or is that just because they're old?

The main problem with cloud streamed is latency, and the other is fuck the cloud.

I, and probably a lot of the people here, spend so much time on the PC that every additional msec annoys me. If there's keyboard shortcut, then I'll learn it to avoid using the mouse.

Windows being a bloated slow mess even when run locally means that using it remotely all the time would be like torture.

I'm sure dealing with the 4k60 videos from my cameras would be a world of pain on the cloud too.

I don't need or want to pay a subscription for the tool I use for hours a day, with no advantages beyond vendor lock-in.

You need a computer either way... remote is basically all negatives when compared to local.

You are probably correct about 90% however.

90% of people are pretty ignorant about how their computers work, or how to use them more efficiently. They line up like lemmings to lose autonomy over their devices and pay subscriptions in exchange for the barest crumb of convenience.

Gaming is less expensive and more latency-sensitive.

It's probably for power reasons, the nrf series are really great on power consumption.

I use syncthing from my server to android. Seamless and configurable how I want it.

I still don't like the way apps try to hide the filesystem in android but at least I can use a file browser to access the file system directly.

Thank you for confirming my thoughts about Apple.

Unfortunately the incentive of current mobile OSs is to funnel everything towards rent-seeking.

The cloud was a mistake.

You're talking about UK laws rather than UK police.

>For what reason? It just makes no sense to me.

They probably got some new garbage software where because of modern terrible programming practices, the requirements are very high.

Thus they need to replace the "old" hardware.

I use termux to ssh and RealVNC to connect to a remote vnc session, all over a wireguard VPN.

Also Syncthing to automatically sync files between the phone and my home server. I download podcasts and audiobooks into a folder on the server and they're automatically on my phone ready to play.

Immich to connect to my self-hosted media. And ntfy to get notifications from my home stuff.

Tasker to automatically activate my wifi hotspot for the car's Android headunit when it sees the car's bluetooth.

I have another tasker job to take the 2-factor authentication numbers from SMS and forward them to ntfy, so I don't even have to look at the phone, I get a popup on my PC with the 2-factor code.

And the best of all, Firefox with uBlock Origin add-on and Revanced Apps. Because ads are cancer.

And I still have a headphone socket.

Can all that be done on iOS?

All the kids will be safe now they're logging into porn sites as Pete Hegseth.

Lots of workplaces allow reasonable personal use.

Is there any list of what kind of batteries are supported?

I couldn't find it on a short inspection.

Why would where the app comes from make a difference to their automated scanners?

I bet it's a path traversal bug, like you request a listing for files named "../../.." or something.

I love it how they say to update, but there's no point because it won't fix the vulnerability anyway.

Do DJs just use whatever equipment is at the venue?

Don't they bring their own setup?

I hope she has insurance when that db gets hacked or some other code disaster happens.

Even for my tiny toy projects, I notice a bug and I tell the LLM and it corrects it, most of the time, but I shudder at the amount of code it generates or changes.

If it has some subtle data corruption bug then you're hosed.

It's just crazy to me to think about running AI changes in production on a real product.

I've heard SO MANY people who wouldn't usually care about such things say unprompted that they hate Windows 11. The ads, the nagging, the unbelievably slow performance for things that used to be instant, the terrible taskbar, etc etc.

I think they've finally made it so shit that people actually care and will look for alternatives.

Maybe it won't happen today, maybe not in the next 5 years, but it will happen.

They don't know why nerds care, but they will find out when they have to replace their PC just to have enough RAM to run a weather app.

And this is why Windows will have it's lunch eaten by Linux.

Which of those country examples have AI being used as a means of economic and military control and coercion?

Ukraine and Iran, no. I'm not familiar with the others.

And here I was thinking that all of those had nothing to do with AI.

What exactly happens to a "losing" country when it has been AI "dominated"?

You have a throwaway account?

Can't have that! We wouldn't have any data to sell!

We need ID, email verification address, phone number, and a selfie of yourself holding a handwritten sign saying, "I love <useless company #7983>" now.

And you have to do a captcha at every step. Click on every crosswalk, sucker.
