  • higher than 0% can cause lost grades.

    I still lose marks.

    Is this actual policy or are you just trying to make sure your AI usage can’t be detected?

    Because there is no reliable way to detect AI usage except for obvious styling, prompt traps, and just matching your comprehension with the material (grades on assignments vs closed notes test).

    I’ve never heard of any university using such a system and would bring this up to administration with other students if they ever used such an unreliable grading method.







  • The ones being built or planned to be built will have to be sold off.

    Probably not abadndoned, but land owner changing several hands in what is essentially someone buying a vacant lot. Maybe a handful will reuse any existing building already made, but most will be used for something new.

    The existing ones will start their fight to the lowest market price which will probably cause many to either sell to a different cloud provider or change hardware to something more profitable.

    None of the electronic hardware will go to waste because there will always be a demand for it, even if they sell it off at a loss. But any permanent fixtures like industrial cabling, ventilation, piping, etc probably will be wasted.

    There’s still no guarantee on whether it’ll implode or just slowly deflate though. The natural assumption would be that the post IPO pricing will completely wreck sales and value, but they could easily move to an enterprise vendor lock scenario where they can charge whatever they want due to tech stack deals like how MSFT runs teams.

    Remember, they’ll do anything in their power to keep the pumping going, even if it involves tax bailouts.




  • It’s not reliable enough to actually automate anything

    This is half true. It’s not reliable enough to automate an entire job but it is reliable enough to automate tasks that would otherwise take a lot of time, usually related to sifting or searching data.

    If I need to look through a massive set of data like Google for something thst I can only describe with an explanation, the LLM will do a much faster job actually finding what you need rather thsn spending an hour manually sorting through SEO slop.

    You don’t even need the cloud models for this, you can slap SearXNG onto a local model at home.

    It’s basically just an autocomplete search on steroids which is its biggest advantage. Any documentation you need is immediately accessible, which is especially useful if you have zero experience with something niche or new.

    Now actually getting the LLM to consistently generate output is a completely different story lol.

    We call that vibe coding.





  • I upgraded to an RTX Quadro 4000 on my media server (from a 750ti) and it still doesn’t support AV1 lmao.

    Even last time I was on PC partpicker, the top beefy 10k USD media chonker machine was targeting a specific CPU for cheap AVX512 support because apparently it was required for heavy AV1 work, which I assume meant the GPUs couldn’t keep up.



  • Gonna do this soon as well. Used to use syncthing for auto photo transfers and I’m tired of Bitwarden’s crappy UI and terrible interop with autofill/autogenerate.

    It’ll probably never happen due to the nature of KBDX, but I would kill to make a resilient native sync feature so that orgs wouldn’t be locked into proprietary vaults which drags you into vendor lock in when one of them starts to tank.



  • It’s been downloaded over 20 billion times. It supports 25+ protocols. It’s in cars, refrigerators, TV sets, routers, printers, phones, and every goddamn server on the planet.

    Everything except my random podman container I need to test something on, but for some reason will have wget lmao.

    Also a good time to mention you can use Ctrl+x Ctrl+e to edit your multi line commands in your default terminal editor so you can keep a clean, line separated command which is easy to read and follow.
