up-n-atom

At Starbucks and the typical consumers palette for sugar laced coffee, I’d be on the side that it says it’s impossible to tell.

It’s far more bleak, what about the jobs that aren’t given? And the big unknown? Is this all just a fad? Who’s next on the chopping block? Etc.

The best thing to come out of the US and Canada trade war for me as a Canadian is that I dropped most of my dependence on said system. It’s not 100% (I’m here commenting) but I will do my best not to fuel FAANG as they can keep their plan in motion for a paywalled AI web.

I suspect niche forums to be the 1st line of defence for a reintroduction of a human centric web and relink from those small enclaves. We’ll have to lose anonymity in the process as it’ll be the only way to guarantee authenticity and in all likelihood biometrics will be a necessity as content will need to be tagged with a pulse.

Perfect now we can put more good willing parents in jail for “neglect”. For every good idea, a bad idea will be born.

These strategies are employed by nearly every large material corp, just as they avoid taxes in havens. Consumer electronic industry uses Vietnam for made in China products. And now that Vietnam is lost due to 2nd highest tariffs, I’d expect Philippines to be used outside of India which is reserved for Apples.

Proprietary software is a valid point but why did it need to be the cliche of Photoshop? This smells LLM gen. I say that because outside of professionals, no 1 is using Photoshop anymore. Normies are not subscribing for software; Serif Suite and Clip Studio are the defacto today or Procreate, as you’re more than likely to use an iPad.

I have the opposite problem where I can’t get anyone to contribute. But it’s worse, no 1 can be arsed to read the actual docs and jump at the LLM hallucinations as a definitive answer in which they come asking in real-time chat with their questions and non-working answers wasting everyone’s time.

> Microsoft should just give up on whatever GUI toolkit it says you should use and make their own Electron-like framework based on Edge that is built into the OS so you don't need to install a huge runtime...

It exists as PWA and the Store. But like ChromeOS it’s an utter failure because a successful OS ecosystem depends on a design language and predictable navigation.

Talk about double standards from the rhetoric we’re endured to hear

I would counter that LLMs have made worse devs and they were pretty bad before. Being more productive and writing more code hasn’t made software better, it’s the contrary. If we’re more productive in producing code churn and could rely on the smarts of an LLM, shouldn’t we be moving back to the days of resourceful code and languages? There is no longer the excuse that X is hard, memory management is hard, pointers are hard, etc. And dare I say it, the death of multi-platform web apps. If a single dev can do the job of 3, they can maintain the cost and burden of 3 platforms as the LLM is doing the heavy lifting, right? We’ll save on energy (or balance it out as LLM farms use a lot), we’ll save time (faster code), we’ll produce less e-waste. These are real problems great devs think about.

The same will be true for artists. Terrible artists will have the perception of being great but will fall flat with bad artistic style and vision.

To the OP, your next search should be “what’s my ip”, followed by a DNS check. Also, no region is being auto selected in DDG which might be the clue.

Why not just say it? Cults

If it’s such a concern, the government could just use their money to say buy the firmware rights from Qualcomm and Broadcom or just force their hand (they’re US based) to create a certified firmware to push in a less liberal free OpenWrt approach. Except this is more than not lobbying by Cisco just to pile on the e-waste.

And yes, tp-link firmware is just more poop spat on top of others but it’s the same from all manufacturers that insists on gathering and selling your data, and pushing their branding. Security is an illusion if you’re the product.

Do yourself a favor and check if there is an open source firmware provided by OpenWrt and remember binary blobs are an unfortunate reality.

The metal slide was exciting. Pair it with sand and cardboard and you flew.

Japan still does the roller slide for the same effect.

Sure everyone eventually got hurt but we had a blast in the thunder dome all the way up to our teens. You can’t say the same with todays playgrounds. We invited risk and trouble, it never found or haunted us.

Is it just me or are many AI projects hijacking names of existing tech for the seo? If I were to google cake in the future I’d like to find https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/Cake/ and not this. They also put in the human effort to make it an acronym.

1st AI companionship and its human to human equivalent texting.

Stop wasting life looking at your phone.

Exactly. Some of us actually write code because we enjoy it.

Ever since release of The Social Network movie this industry has attracted far too many grifters like this who are only driven by money all the while exploiting everything to their benefit.

Can’t wait for the humanist revolt. Dignity, humility, and passionate expression brought back to the art of programming. It needs to be reclassified as art now more than ever.

The 3 gigabit ports unsells this off the bat. Proposing its openness as something special is a joke because reality is that there are better hardware alternatives already available within the same price range that can have OpenWrt ported to if not already.

If you’re going to try to sell the hacker mentality, why not take it to a platform such as the Alta Route10 (available yesterday with much better specs incl. PoE).

And anyone who has dealt with Freescale IP will also tell you it’s a dumpster fire. There is no longevity here, only gimmicky marketing. OpenWrt is also tooting the same bs horn with their OpenWrt One, yesterdays specs for tomorrow.

Look and count the fingers on the hand holding the left most F4 flag. The telltale sign of AI gen.

The Canadian government should host another free instance of DeepSeek R1.

Our tech industry has been undermined way too often with little to no response, including Nortel by the way of Cisco, RIM/Blackberry by Apple, and let’s not forget Avro. We chalk it up with excuses of market pressures and bad management, yet there has always been foreign government pressures that laid or paid for the foundations of collapse. The same with Huawei in a less than silent way for which we played our part into. It’s now more apparent, we were always the foe rather than the friend. Sad

Broken tech. Everyone who lives in a cold climate region knows the costs of running a space heater. Mandating EV tech in such is beyond stupidity when better alternatives exist like Hydrogen.

These clearly aren’t long term subs; The price increases reflect as much. It’s the payperview of yesteryear.

It’s all word of mouth but we’re not inclusive just low key. Since 2018 on Slack and transitioned to Discord in 2021.

Although I had my issues with the admins and policy (ie. no hacking) which forced my hand to create 8311, it’ll always be remembered fondly by myself as a refuge where an inclined person could speak to an ISP directly.

I will not be joining these new outposts as they’re likely the same old but without the ISP reps.

That’s their concern? What was the in-game micro transaction revenue during this stint? Fools play games, wise men shill games.

I’d be curious if this could impact the $1.50 Costco hot dog and soft drink which defies inflation because it’s more than likely subsidized by Pepsi Co these days (Coca-Cola prior) rather than the narrative of Costco’s own supply chain.

The brain rot spurred by social will continue ten fold with extended use of LLMs not just by capitalism but also youths lack of discipline and sure laziness. You can hear the teachers cries already about the youth of the future. Governments that block this growing existential crisis will flourish as it takes creativity and intellect to advance forward. The west is in a stagnate state as bs culture holds.

What rubbish and a great example of the following sentiment. Near all success we see in this industry is built on the acts of charlatans “Fake it until you make it” yolo. The more bs you as a manager and team you can spew the bigger the reward like this article and its Ivy League shill. People come and go and a 1x performer for a few months will have the same net outcome as a 10x because learning the product takes significant time which doesn’t exist in the market. No 1 is in it long term, period. Hire for your timeline, because you’re moving on, not up.

What would be a worthwhile experiment is if they can build a model with enough personal info along with personality and behaviour which can guess a persons password and endgame average folk. Now that could be a headline.
