  I didn’t expect to get married when I opened Lemmy today

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The biggest surprise in the article is that Atlassian is not profitable. How? They pretty much have a monopoly in the Jira-like space (look , I can’t even think of a generic name) and they charge a hefty sum for their products. How tf do they lose money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not surprised. Jira is a monster.
  As with any software, look how complex it is as a user, the hidden part is 10x worse.

  LLMs are predictive text machines. Focus on “predictive”. Of course they will not output random text.

  Note: not fully deterministic though - they need (pseudo)randomness at few critical points to be good

  That’s the other way around human -> robot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: BAD⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, well written, well acted but the absence of sympathetic protagonists killed it for me. I just couldn’t care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IBM 1979 variation⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How would that even work? If a robot is sexually attracted to a human it’s more of a zoophilia, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centres | Company Business News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at it from the bright side. Manufacturers are building massive new capacity for demand that will never come. Already produced chips can’t be repurposed but machinery can, easily. In a few years RAM will be dirt cheap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centres | Company Business News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They used to sell a pretty good (if complex) database system. However it hasn’t been popular for many years. I assume they still have big customers who are locked in.

  These days they’re just another amorphous “cloud service provider”, and not a good one either.

  How do you even achieve that? I have to coax it into correctly running the project locally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI promised to free up workers’ time. UC Berkeley researchers found the opposite.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To the surprise of absolutely nobody

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how dev humblebrag sounds like.
  Our app is so stable only random hardware events like bitflips can crash it.

  OP needs a cold shower. These are some epic levels of hornyness

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨long live my iud🫶⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  IUD != IED

  I always have to remind myself of the difference. One is preventing births, the other is for undoing births.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Translation feature seems to be classified under AI. Idk what technology does it actually use, but it’s done locally on device

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Living la vida loca⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Timbaland is a music producer, Aaliyah is a singer who’s famously dead.
  His attempts at some kind of necromancy are news though, he wasn’t known for reviving the dead into Korean powergrid consciousness before.

  Is there someone you forgot to ask

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*crunch crunch* Très délicieux mes amis!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s somewhat common in touristy restaurants in France. I’ve never heard an actual French person praising the dish (as they do for many other foods), but you can have it if you like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a courageous man⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the OP might be self-diagnosing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For Spain’s Sánchez, the fight against tech billionaires is personal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not the way it works in the EU

  Not yet. Because they don’t have the mechanism.

  And it’s not about Sánchez and his government. I don’t think they would do it. But governments change, sooner or later someone else will win elections. Someone who might not agree with criticism.

  And don’t try to convince me “it would never happen in the EU”. We have more than enough examples that eventually every country has a brush with authoritarianism. Even in the EU currently (eg Hungary). Prevention is always better than trying to fix it later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For Spain’s Sánchez, the fight against tech billionaires is personal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hating on tech billionaires - Yes Government control of communications - No

  Those things are not mutually exclusive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I detect no errors of logic here⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but if you didn’t have to work to survive which one would you be?
  Work is the surest way to suppress personality, real you only comes up when you don’t struggle to survive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I detect no errors of logic here⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The world is divided between Jeffrey Epstein types and Charlie Sheen types, change my mind.

  (horseshoe theory is in full swing here)

  Folding maps were the USB-A of it’s age. We would always fold it wrong the first time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So he decided to ruin his one successful company. Which is successful because he wasn’t involved in running it until now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most bizarre tech announced so far at CES 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The AI detects when the machine’s about to freeze up and make noise, so it automatically defrosts before things get loud.

  Are we using “AI” to describe microcontrollers now?

  Have a machine run something at a certain temperature (or range of temperatures) is about the simplest thing to program.
