The power of compound interest means that money can only make more money once it reaches a certain threshold. Whatever these guys were at twenty they’re certainly not anymore, but they will never feel the pinch. They can only fail upwards from this point on.
You think therapists and doctors in general don’t use Docs or Notes services that are hosted or backed up in the cloud ? You think having your medical data leaked to tech companies is new ? Just because the notes transcription app is AI doesn’t make it magically worse. In fact it makes the data harder to access as you need to re-infer the whole enchilada if you want to mine it (as opposed to, say, Google Drive who can just make a SQL query on your data and get it structured and ready to use).
It’s nice that mental health is so inconsequential to you that you can balance it against privacy purity politics. It’s really cool for you that you’re in this position of privilege. It’s not cool to be pushing on someone with a clinical condition in a way that will probably get them worse off, in a country with absolutely no mental health safety net. Just like antivax it’s coated in fake concern, but you’re playing a dangerous game with someone else’s life and you’re cool with it because you’re insulated from the consequences.
You guys really are a pure product of those amoral hyper-individualistic times.
By god they’re going to make OP change doctors just because they hate “le stochastic parrot”. And op is probably in the US which makes the whole thing even crueller.
Literally a horde of teenagers playing with a bipolar’s head because they have big feelings about stuff.
And all this for a fucking note taking app Jesus Christ. Yeah sure OP is probably risking their mental health in the process but who gives a shit about that when you have an occasion to proclaim that le AI bad.
But this is just speculation. The fact is, systemd introduced a new optional field in the local database. They don’t publish an OS so they have no obligation to do anything more, actual implementation would have to happen in other projects.
What this is, is a spite-fork by some random AI researcher and anybody installing that on their system has way larger problems here and now than hypothetical ID verification in the maybe future.
It’s saying that you can invent an infinite number of hypothetical futures but they are not useful for making decisions in the here and now
The significance of Jesus is the movement he spawned. I’m not talking about the Catholic church as it was codified by the Romans a few centuries after his death, but about the movement of Jesus which spread far and wide directly after he died. This movement flourished not by the blade and the authority of oppressive regimes, but because it simply spoke deeply to people, especially the poor and disenfranchised. This kind of thing only happened a handful of times during history.
He was important because he created a blueprint for resistance of the oppressed, in a time where such resistance was a very hard sell because it went so contrary to the norms and cultures.
I think a good pointer when you want to approach religion from a sane perspective is to treat it as primitive tech. For example, modern people know that you need to separate science from politics from law from history from psychology etc… and have a different system for each. But pre-modern people didn’t necessarily know that, so religious doctrine had to serve several, sometimes incompatible purposes. You look at it and it’s like a shovel that has a hammer on it and part of the hammer can be used as a screwdriver. It makes no sense but at the same time it kinda does and it sure has dug a lot of holes and tightened a lot of screws over millennia.
Honestly in terms of late 1800s engineering, pi = 3.2 is accurate within 2% it’s not that scandalous
I’d love to take the credit but i actually stole it from that link that made the rounds on Hacker News
Dude, we work for the same company and I could have typed that in, and maybe I did. I wanted your experience with it, that’s why I asked you.
To me it’s like sending the “let me google that for you” link to answer a question. It’s just bad form. I don’t want your whole reasoning trace man, i just want to know what you understand of it and maybe you’ll catch some detail i’m missing or whatever. It’s simple, i won’t read LLM output, my colleagues know it and i get shit for it but no i am not digesting this material for you. Give me a 3 bullet-point version in your own words, the point is not just in the data exchange it’s also to make sure you are aware of the answer and we have a common truth.
Or failing that, just give me the fucking prompt and at least i’ll know if you understand the question.
I see, that’s interesting. I do a lot of transcoding but offline so i don’t have usage for such a cache. I’ve tested various storage solutions but on my setup, transcoding is always CPU-bound, even on old ass HDDs the bottleneck is never I/O.
Yeah i specifically don’t do any AI workloads on my server, that would be stupid slow with my old ass hardware. But my buddy (who’s a bit impulsive with money) bought two Spark GX10s and we’re likely to get some fun out of them :)
VMs mostly
oh yeah i see how that can be hungry
What are you hosting on Minecraft that isn’t using >=4 gigs?
Just a vanilla server i play on with my son, it’s got 2G and i haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. Chunk gen is slow-ish but i suppose that’s CPU-bound.
BTW i exagerated in my initial comment, i looked at the machine and it’s sitting just under 8G of used RAM.
Also ZFS
Jesus christ 😅 no idea if you’re jesting
I used to collect books and the cheapest option at the time was ebay. I would search things like “science fiction bulk” and select the lot with the best titles. Generally I could find some around 1€ per book, don’t know if that’s still plausible.
How does a 30-something even find something to share with a 18-year old? What could there even be in such a relationship apart from the obvious domination?
Serious question, what does RAM help with in the context of self hosting? I recently bought 32G for my server, and it’s DDR3 ecc so it’s so cheap I could have afforded 64 but I just kept wondering what will I use it for? I rarely go north of 6G usage and that’s with half a dozen services, a Minecraft server etc… I just don’t know what kind of services are RAM hungry.
Oh man believe me I’m all for it. I totally understand having an approach of engineering that is not bankable or tailored for Californian degen culture.
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with your stance. Just saying it will become an aesthetic niche just like there’s some people who still track music on magnetic tape when it would be exponentially faster to use cubase.
I don’t have your specific axe to grind against AI but my personal angle is to only use old hardware and make software that runs on it.
Not everything has to be superlative, and self imposed constraints are great for quality of life.
Exactly. And a commit is a commit. Unless it’s 10Kloc in one go you can just read what’s in it and decide for yourself.
At my previous job we used to jokingly (?) tell our engineering manager “no commits, no opinions” well I think it’s kinda like that.
And that’s great for you but I still think you’ll be in a minority. Which is not necessarily bad of course.
Open Source devs mostly come from the industry and the penetration of agentic coding in the industry has been massive over the last six months. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything of this scale.
They have the audacity of doing things, that is despicable and definitely reprehensible.
