- Comment on NetBSD bans all commits of AI-generated code 3 days ago:
Not specific to AI but someone flat out told me they didn’t even run the code to see it work. They didn’t understand why I would or expect that before accepting code. This was someone submitting code to a widely deployed open source project.
So, I would expect the answer is yes or very soon to be yes.

Had great luck with polymaker and find they’re in the sweet spot of predictable quality and price for me.

This sounds like a recipe for malicious compliance if I ever heard it.

Some of us remember win modems and their ability to kill your computer by tying your network performance to your CPU usage. Good times…
- Comment on Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT 1 week ago:
IANAL but I thought removing non-PII mostly boiled down to risk since gdpr has big teeth. With a lot of money on the table and a licence attached to post they may feel it’s worth pursuing. They’ve probably been setting up protections for this for a while.

Oh I didn’t consider deleting my answers. Thanks for the good idea

Thanks for that.
Its a weird that the couldn’t just choose to back port the fixes that have security implications even if it wouldn’t deserve a cve.

🤦
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
Obviously. I’ve just got two emotions about the content I want to show.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
I want a upvote for sharing, down vote the concept button. I hate it.
As much as I hate it, think it’s a terrible part for a free, open, and secure web; it’s probably a solid business move based on the hype.
- Comment on Elon Musk Bought Twitter to Settle His Jet-Tracking Beef, New Book Claims 2 months ago:
Also the part where Twitter has invested in s tier lawyers and brought and iron clad contract that heavily favored them. Which being an entitled idiot he agreed to. So when he tried to back out he literally couldn’t afford the penalties because he didn’t have enough cash and getting it would loose him control of his companies.
Definitely not him being dumb and entitled. Surely it was a petty $50k grudge.
- Comment on Google Chrome Warning Issued For All Windows Users 3 months ago:
INAL but my understanding was a lot of the fines and penalties hung on IE being part of the OS. I think it was the update functionality but don’t quote me.
So with some legal technicalities, later versions of windows made it “not” part of the OS just a bundled application. A legal distinction without meaning but it meant they didn’t need to do these things anymore.

Are they in front of green screens? Did he not even bother to come into the office to record this?

Also twitch. Yuck…
Probably some great devs on the market for anyone hiring though.
- Comment on HP sued (again) for blocking third-party ink from printers, accused of monopoly 4 months ago:
Completely different companies. In 2015 HP became HP Inc keeping consumer products like printers and laptops and HPE split taking servers and business stuff. I assume lap equipment went to HPE as well but couldn’t find anything on a quick search.

That’s probably HPE. The companies split a while back
- Comment on SSD prices predicted to skyrocket throughout 2024 — TrendForce market report projects a 50% price hike | Tom's Hardware 4 months ago:
We’ve gone through die size, clock speed, instructions and operations, the transistors count. All are stand-ins for “complexity” which is why some people question if the law ever existed.
That said, regardless of the “real” law, until recently the colloquial usage has always been a stand in for how “quick” a processor is. In that sense, you really need to do some hand waving around core counts and even then it doesn’t really work.
Maybe more importantly, one of the most important processor markets are mobile and servers which are largely focused on less complex more efficient processors like arm.
So outside of marketing, it’s very easy to see why a lot of people think Moore’s law is dead and we’re all better for it. We can continually make better processors without trying to meet some arbitrary metric that didn’t really mean anything useful to start with.
- Comment on SSD prices predicted to skyrocket throughout 2024 — TrendForce market report projects a 50% price hike | Tom's Hardware 4 months ago:
No need to downvote this. It’s an insidery technically correct statement. We’ve redefined how we measure Moore’s law several times to make it “keep working” and some people designing chips, not selling them, think it’s not only outlined it’s usefulness but also not true anymore.
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 Signals the Industry’s New Priority: Stability 4 months ago:
As someone using various wireless standards over over twenty years and in IT dealing with wifi instability on basically a daily basis. No.
Wifi is a series of compromises to be convenient. It’s “good enough” for most of those but generally and increasingly in newer standards, the compromise is to drop stability for things speed. You’ll see this to be the case in a lot of professional wifi gear that will transfer you to a lower standard if it sees weaker signals to improve stability.
To make that concrete, a problem with wifi in an office is an embarrassing “I’ll call back on my phone” but a factory floor that could be millions of dollars of downtime to restart an entire chain of machines. Hardened industrial wiring and connections is well established and wifi is just not at that level. The poorly formed example of the robot was trying to convey their intention to start addressing that level of hardening.
All that said, based on my experience reading ieee articles this is all exaggerated. in reality we’re probably just getting more stable video calls at higher bandwidths. Still a win for the help desk techs everywhere and people with a heavy wall making Netflix flaky.
- Comment on What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on? 7 months ago:
Yeah I love ploymax too. The pro prints thick though so you have to go hotter and slower. Their polylite PLA is still really great and has more colors so I like using it for for fast prototypes and things that don’t need the strength.
Honestly their petg is a go to as well. I found prints to be much more consistent and better quality than similar cheaper petg I’ve been tempted to try by Amazon deals.
- Comment on Pluralistic: Apple fucked us on right to repair (again) 7 months ago:
Maybe updated because it currently cites this article about a shareholder letter. inverse.com/…/52189-tim-cook-says-apple-faces-2-k…
Its implication right after this about them using the repair shop to boost sales however is unsupported speculation. A reasonable guess based on what we see from people like Rossman but still unsupported by this piece.
