It's really annoying when it does that. I wish there was an alternate mode you could toggle it to when pushing back on its output. One where it's tuned to not assume you're the authority so it can come back with a response that doesn't just immediately jump to agreeing with you.

Why do you guess it's an iPhone? I switched to an iPhone because my OnePlus phone failed to ring or play alarms due to a constantly crashing and restarting media indexer service (I could only tell this is what was happening from the logs).

You're reading them wrong and I'm not sure what you find clever about the wording.

The bar was a president that doesn't start pointless wars. That's a low bar. Biden cleared said low bar by not starting pointless wars.

Do you also complain about GNU coreutils divergences from the original Unix utilities despite having the same names?

You can also get rid of both of them very easily with O&O Shutup 10++ (or any of many other GUIs or scripts designed for the same purpose of decrapifying Windows). I toggled off Copilot and Onedrive and haven't seen either in all the years I've been using Windows 11.

I recently installed Fedora with KDE and ran into behavior that would have confused me if it wasn't for the setup of my home. Because the problem I was having didn't manifest directly on my PC at all, but rather on my AV receiver! When I log in, the receiver turns on and sets its source to internet music. If my PC and receiver weren't close enough that I could hear the relays clicking, I'm not sure how long it would have taken me to connect the two!

And of course when I look up the problem, the threads I land on don't point me to a thing to toggle in the UI. No, instead one of them directs me to create a config file for pipewire while another says the remove a specific package entirely. And they're not presented as a set of clear steps to follow, so good luck to your average person trying to fix the problem for themselves.

When there's people taking the complaints as attacks rather than feedback on how to improve, it's no wonder we keep seeing the same complaints.

I just don't get it myself. When users complain about the software I've released, I look to see if there's reasonable changes I can make to alleviate their issues.

Even just using them for prototyping is a big gain. While they do have monetary cost to run, they massively reduce the time cost of experimenting.

They can also waste a lot of time if you end up over-reliant on them, but that's where experience with LLMs comes in. The nature of them means it's not an exact science, but you get a feel for how to best apply them.

I really hope they don't kill off uv or turn it into some way to sell OpenAI services. But I suspect that's exactly what's going to happen :(

I couldn't imagine wanting to hire someone who doesn't use LLMs for coding unless they are bringing something very special to the table. It accelerates many coding tasks significantly. But you have to know the limitations to use them efficiently and that only comes with experience.

I left an Arch install sitting for a few months and came back and had trouble getting the updates to properly install. Seems the advice around it is basically just don't go that long without updating.

It's never been a great argument. Even non-atomic Linux distros have you reboot after updates. It's just the safest way to ensure that everything is running with the updated packages. You're kind of in an untested state if you have mixed versions of applications and their dependencies running.

Plus, updates aren't the only thing that require reboots. Various config changes will need a reboot or at least require you to log out and back in. Even just adding your user to a group needs you to end your session for the change to apply.

If this is true then the reason that a console would be better than a custom PC is that it would also be designed to work better for that purpose. Turning on the device when the controller turns on and sending CEC commands are two huge things that aren't well supported outside of the console space. Also it would likely run a trimmed down version of Windows and would be set up to "just work" in a way that a system that can have any arbitrary set of hardware will never be able to do.

But the really nice thing about the concept of treating a PC and console as the same platform is that you don't have to worry about why people might prefer to go the route of buying the console. You can go with a regular gaming PC if that's what you prefer and your library will have all the same options.

What do you mean if you can do age you can do identity? If age is self-reported that's not true. Or if you need strong validation, ZKPs are possible where it is also not true.

Same here. Wired headphones never lasted anywhere near as long for me as wireless ones. Any with inline controls were especially prone to failure.

Theoretically yes, but in practice the wages of people already not making much have not tracked inflation and there's no reason to believe that they will now. That means any inflation is also a tax on them.

Which Mario ones are you thinking of? Because for the only ones I know of with electronic character, you just place them over special tiles they can read to select how they will react.

People who don't have English as their first language often seem to underestimate how good their English actually is. I wonder if it's because their reference point is formal English rather than the much more forgiving English we use in casual day-to-day conversation.

This is what I need to be sold on magit over. Magit just feels slower (and definitely is slower to start if you're not already in emacs) and less intuitive.

Microsoft already has all their business data in the form of handing document storage and emails. Trusting another of their services to also not use that data for Microsoft's own purposes is reasonable.

What's the danger? It can see the schemas to help it generate the queries but it can't run anything on its own. Also you have to give the application credentials to an AI provider for the feature to work. So, you can just not do that.

This is the way I like to do it. I know bloating the logs too much can be a problem, but it's even worse if you're lacking information to reconstruct what happened when there ends up being a problem. And only providing that detail when there's an error isn't enough. What if the issue never triggered an error in the application and it was only caught later on either by a person seeing something was off or by an error a downstream system?

Also it's helpful to log before operations rather than after because if a step gets stuck it's possible to know what it's stuck on.

Sprocs are how I handle complex queries rather than embedding them in our server applications. It's definitely saved me from running into problems like this. And it comes with another advantage of giving DBAs more control to manage performance (DBAs do not like hearing that they can't take care of a performance issue that's cropped up because the query is compiled into an application)

This is not at all just an LLM thing. I've been working with C# and MS SQL Server for many years and never even considered this could be happening when I use Dapper. There's likely code I have deployed running suboptimally because of this.

And it's not like I don't care about performance. If I see a small query taking more than a fraction of a second when testing in SSMS or If I see a larger query taking more than a few seconds I will dig into the query plan and try to make changes to improve it. For code that I took from testing in SSMS and moved into a Dapper query, I wouldn't have noticed performance issues from that move if the slowdown was never particularly large.

And then people would complain about Firefox being bloated with all these built-in extensions. And then if you don't pre-install them people will complain about needing to add all of these extra extensions.

I mean that's not really a good answer because you need to ask why they are sending a spreadsheet back and forth. Like yeah using a shared spreadsheet saves them having to email back and forth, but it doesn't help formalize the process, include validations, or make the data available to other systems. And maybe it would turn out that none of that is actually helpful in this case, but if you don't make an effort to ask and understand what's going on then you won't know if there's some bigger problem that needs addressing.

As people have pointed out in other threads, you don't even need access to these services to cause problems. As long as the AI can send any bytes out, it can leak information. Like you may think of an HTTP GET as read-only, but you can pack any data you want into the URL or headers.

So DB48X provides a covered application store?

(e) (1) “Covered application store” means a publicly available internet website, software application, online service, or platform that distributes and facilitates the download of applications from third-party developers to users of a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing that can access a covered application store or can download an application.

Also, where does anything in the CA bill mandate age verification? It's saying the OS needs to prompt for age bracket info and allow the third party apps to query that. That is far different from verification.

> Or it took an hour of back and forth with ChatGPT loaded up with those 34 pages.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read that line. And there's nothing necessarily wrong with using AI to help decipher large legal documents, just be honest about it.

I didn't disagree with that?

"It certainly sounds like something an app from a big Chinese company might do"

Doesn't mean I want to blindly trust a random source about it though.
