  So, just need to prompt for a person’s name and get to find the contents of all the files with that name in it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Another task for “Feedback Hub.”

  It was your computer, and it was friendly.

  Re-verify our range to target. One ping only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨quack⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Never found that one.

  Back then I was a dialup ISP I used to host network games of Quake 1 with my customers. At the peak though we found the Xylogics Remote Annex couldn’t handle it, and it rebooted mid game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨quack⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Used to love going to the console in quake 1 and setting gravity to 1. Each jump and you could hit the roof.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that for some coding things it’s handy and saves time. It wrote me a WordPress plugin for an abandoned radio streaming plugin so I could get usable stats. It would have taken me a long time to write the SQL and php code by hand, for something I’ll likely never do again.

  It didn’t get it entirely right first time though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It sometimes works for me. But the old computer truth of garbage in garbage out still applies. It’s got the world’s garbage to sift through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Faults in replication? That can become cancer for humans. AI as well I guess.

  Mostly linux at home, windows at work due to needing windows apps that can’t run on linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cube me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Use that mesh from bird cages, he should end up as a few mega pixels when viewed front on.

  From the side it’s gonna be more like cheese sticks, but with more colours.

  Well, it killed off the Martians.

  Oh wait, that was bacteria.

  Reminds me of when students used to pull the 5¼” floppy drive blanking plates off PC’s, reach inside and steal the RAM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“You heard wrong” - users brutually reject Microsoft's "Copilot for work" in Edge and Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One step ahead - installed Syncthing on an always-on Windows box located at my office, pointed it at some needed Google Drive folders, and synced to Debian. The Windows box has other syncing tasks anyway so it’s not costing anything in power. The Debian laptop is becoming my main workhorse.

  rclone is too much of a PITA to configure.
  insync is way too expensive, especially with multiple Google Drive accounts.
  Gnome’s sync thinggie does weird stuff with filenames in LibreOffice etc, is basically unusable.

  I need Google Drive due to my existing business setups.

  My ender3 will do that if printing by usb and it loses mains briefly. The brain stays alive but the body stops.

  Australian here. Limit is 100km/h? Fine, set cruise to 100 and relax. Not fast enough? Tough, that’s your problem. (but we get fined for 3km/h over here.)
