I’d rather just write it out. I’ve never used snippets or macros per say, but I do make liberal use of regex replace and multiline cursors lol. Writing out a bunch of getters and setters? Regex!

I did try LLM tab auto complete and while sure, it did suggest some stuff that was useful (after refactoring it), the amount of time I spent WTF’ing some suggestions it made wasn’t worth it.

I find more benefit from asking an LLM about something I’m undecided or confused about, and while it’s never given me a good enough answer, it has stirred enough creative juices in my brain to help me along lol.

Edit: sorry for the dupes. When Eternity said it failed the send I took that at face value.

I run Silverblue on my work laptop. I haven’t really used Distrobox, I just use podman because I’m more familiar with it - under the hood though I believe they’re more or less the same though. But in either case, both work just fine on it.

I specifically avoided saying they did because I wasn’t knowledgeable on the topic. But I agree, I could equally be accused of being disingenuous by phrasing it in a way that could lead people to assume they use closed loops.

I did look those up, and while evaporation cooling isn’t the only method used, it also doesn’t evaporate all the water each pass, only a portion of it (granted “a portion” is all I found at a quick look, which isn’t actually useful).

I do agree though, the water usage is excessive, and when though that water only “changes forms”, it’s still removes it from a water source and only some of it may make its way back in.

It’s the first thing I thought of when the articles about the generative AI polluting itself started coming out.

Yeah the article is disingenuous at best. There are many things wrong with generative AI, but this is just a lousy approach.

If I make a PC, put in a water cooling loop, and use it to run an LLM - sure, water is circulating, but that water isn’t just vanishing lol.

Yeah, the generative AI pollution feels alot like the whole steel thing - since the nuclear tests it’s been impossible for new steel to not be slightly radioactive, which means if they need uncontaminated steel they get it from ships that sunk before those.

LUKS, or anything that relies on the server encrypting, is highly vulnerable (see schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business’s response).

Your best bet would be encrypting client side before it arrives on the server using a solution like rclone, restic, borg, etc.

Such a cute photo. I’ve been trying to take more photos of my pupper. He’s 13 now, and anytime I’m not sure if I’ll ever be ready to lose him.

That’s what I thought at first, but the person who wrote the article is named Simon, and based on the context given in the article I’m assuming that was a test unit he had on his desk, but the planned implementation is in bathrooms.

Considering it only detects if someone in the bathroom is vaping and not who, disciplinary action just isn’t really possible with your typical school restroom.

Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I’ve been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.

I’m guessing the photos she’s referencing weren’t edited back when she was still a teen, and that someone recently took the older photos and ran them through AI.

Good.

I had it but typo’d top right and apparently didn’t notice, as I thought it was invalid, so I ruled the answer out and put the wrong one.

Coworker in sales got mad at one of the shipping guys thinking his packing of the pallet was insufficient. They get into a verbal spat until the sales guy walks to his car and pulls his gun on the shipping guy, the shipping guy, who also happened to be a retired marine and allowed by the owner to open carry in the office. Sales guy was lucky the only thing he lost that day was his job.

No shots were fired since the sales guy was stupid but not that stupid. We kind of had a collective “that’s not terribly surprising” moment later when the cop was over for the police report and brought up sales guy’s past mugshots like “was this the guy”.
