  My kids have missed it more than me (which I don’t) but they’re easy to distract with one of the other streaming services I still have. The last price hike did it for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to drive one into a brick wall. Not with me in it or anything. I figure I could do it just by setting it to auto-drive into a painting of a tunnel Looney Tunes style.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Judge Accepted AI Video Testimony From a Dead Man⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sentencing is still part of the carriage of justice. Fake statements like this should not be allowed until after all verdicts and punishments are decided.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Judge Accepted AI Video Testimony From a Dead Man⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “I loved that AI, and thank you for that…” Lang said immediately before sentencing Horcasitas.

  I hope they win that appeal an get a new sentencing or a new trial even. That sounds like a horrible misuse of someone’s likeness. Even if my family used a direct quote from me I’d be PISSED if they recreated my face and voice without my permission.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ServiceNow acquires Data.World months after snatching up Moveworks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Great features poorly implemented. It’s incredibly easy to make poorly optimized forms that basically end up DDoSing itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ServiceNow acquires Data.World months after snatching up Moveworks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  ServiceNow, for one, is a platform as a service that handles trouble tickets, CMDB, and some general automation. Most people at my company that use it really hate it but management busts a nut over things like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I tutored my wife in Trigonometry, which I fucking hate and have never gotten more than a C in, and she got an A. She also hates trig and math in general. It’s basically a measure of whose memory and work ethic is best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My 11" netbook is my favorite portable PC I own. A bit slow but rock solid and about as heavy as a tablet.

  Just speaking for the windows team at my own company, they’re arguably less modernized that are mainframe team.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is shaking up its compensation to incentivize higher performance⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My employer did basically this and it’s really only used for nickel and diming employees. At best you get 100% of what you would’ve been due, but you probably end up getting 95% of it. So while you might miss out on a couple hundred dollars the company saved millions by doing this across the board.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. Microsoft is OK with that. - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux: You’re using passwords? As your only authentication method? Eww! Whyyyyy???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Oscars officially don’t care if films use AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have a problem with AI in filmmaking but I’d have a problem if AI actors were suddenly winning awards in the acting category.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My boss says I need to be keeping up with the latest in AI and making sure my team has the best info possible to help them with their daily work (IT). This couldn’t come at a better time. 😁

  I shudder to think how many corners they’ll cut on one of the most dangerous brands in existence.

  So are tariffs. How can our nation be secure if we’re cut off from vital resources?

  It’s not an easy system but it doesn’t seem any more arduous to say “you can copy X for a fee” vs “you can’t copy X at all.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to harden against SSH brute-forcing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In addition to other advice you could also use SSH over Wireguard. Wireguard basically makes the open port invisible. If you don’t provide the proper key upfront you get no response. To an attacker the port might as well be closed.

  Here’s at least one article on the subject: rair.dev/wireguard-ssh/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that AI is the most effective representation or that it should replace public defenders, but this doesn’t seem far off from scolding a defendant for using Google to research his arguments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opinion | I Just Saw the Future. It Was Not in America.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Profits over productivity. If replacing people with AI, as impractical as it may be, leads to higher profits then CEOs have an obligation to do so. Poverty, sickness, and homelessness are none of their fucking concern.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The other day I asked an llm to create a partial number chart to help my son learn what numbers are next to each other. If I instructed it to do this using very detailed instructions it failed miserably every time. And sometimes when I even told it to correct specific things about its answer it still basically ignored me. The only way I could get it to do what I wanted consistently was to break the test down into small steps and tell it to show me its progress.

  I’d be very interested to learn it’s “thought process” in each of those scenarios.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Is Helping the Trump Administration Deploy AI Along the Mexican Border⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m finally starting to pull the trigger on dumping Google (specifically because of this event). For me at least it’s been a combination of, “They’re not that bad,” and, “This is basically like moving to another state.”

  The guides I’ve seen lately about what replaces what is a good start but there should really be more in-depth guides for either moving over your data or just how to get started. Just naming alternatives is about as helpful as suggesting “raising chickens” as an alternative to high egg prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Disproportionate punishment is another of course. They probably lump pedophiles (a person with a psychiatric disorder) and child molesters (a person that actually harms children) into the same group and you deserve to die for simply thinking the wrong things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And if you haven’t found any pedophiles yet, well, I guess you’re not trying hard enough. Or maybe… you are one of them… 😠

  Can’t believe this needs an /s
