I had a similar but different experience. My first in-person introduction to Linux was Ubuntu via some training for a job. When the class referred to it as Linux, our instructor would tell us “Technically it’s Ubuntu, not Linux” so I thought Ubuntu was an entirely separate OS that I had just never heard of before

There’s 2 mute indicators on discord? One on your name in the channel and one in the bottom left corner, where the digital mute button is. In any case, this issue has to do with the microphone detection and not the mute button itself

Edit: or did you mean like an audible indicator?

Discord does this too. Occasionally instead of putting my voice through it just says “we’re not detecting any input from your microphone” but only while I’m speaking

This is the shit that always blows my mind, to be honest.

You want to maximize profits? Train your workers, put them through school, invest in your workforce.

All the companies that just hire bodies and forget the most important part that sets a human apart from the rest of the animal kingdom astonish me. You get more value per person if you work towards increasing each person’s value instead of increasing the value of persons.

Using the least expensive model of Claude

Meta makes LLMs. They’ve made multiple, some of them are even tailored for coding.

Why are they using Anthropic’s AI instead of their own?

I can only imagine there’s some sort of ouroboros slop machine money laundering cycle going on or something

“autocorrect” AI glorified autocorrect…

Wait

To put it more generally, corporations are people when it’s good to be a person, but not when it’s bad to be a person

I’m with ya. Especially with the blatant kiss assery from these two companies to the government, this headlines reads to me as “Google and Meta have agreed to give Trump even more money so that they can add even more surveillance to their products”

It’s okay to not want to put yourself directly in the line of fire. Just make sure not to stop others from standing up for us all

I feel like this isn’t a reciprocal thing though. “Guy does good thing” /=/ “You shouldn’t question his judgement/his other ideas are also good. ” feels fair

However

“Guy does bad thing” = “You should question his judgement/his other ideas tend to also be bad” also feels fair

The pope doesn’t like AI, brandished a sword and called people idiots. More at 11

Not the person you replied to, but I don’t imagine I’m the only one that would just say yes to this.

Honestly just memorize the fundamental ones and google everything else you need on the fly. You’ll naturally memorize the ones you use often.

I’ve used VIM for nearly 5 years and the only keybinds I have memorized are ‘a’ (append right here) ‘A’ (append to end of line) ‘i’ (insert right here) and I use the arrows to navigate instead of the letters. The only incantation I have memorized is %s/text to replace/text to replace with/g (find and replace through entire file. Remove the /g to find and replace only the next instance).

Once you have those, you can basically do anything that you’re capable of in a normal editor. If you need to do something beyond that, search “how to x in vim” and click the first stack overflow link that comes up, hasn’t failed me yet

With the advancements in wine and proton, I’ve found a lot of games do well with adding -dx11 or -dx12 in the launch options.

Maybe a ticket could be made about considering changing the default for one of those programs

This is kinda where my brain went too. So they’re just buying second houses? And we’re all just… too fucking poor to compete?

Considered “friendly” by Israel

Not by Israel, by the system in place for nuclear warheads.

The good system will magically discern…

The system doesn’t have to, the people do. And they’re quite good at it.

If you’re willing to spend the money…

You are absolutely right that resources would have to be moved around. This system, however, is not owned or controlled by a single country. How those resources would get moved around would be way above my pay grade

Replied down the chain

1. The tightest missile defense system in the world in public knowledge
2. The actual system that is used for ICBMs wasn’t activated because these were considered “friendly” missiles by that system.

ETA: 3. Those missiles didn’t have nuclear warheads on them, so the good system wouldn’t have really cared even if they weren’t friendly

I think @DesertCreosote@piefed.blahaj.zone gave you a great breakdown, and I’ll add a little more.

I’ve worked with military technologies before. Unfortunately, I can’t give away many details for relatively obvious reasons. However, I can tell you with absolute confidence that in the case of a ICBM with a nuclear warhead being launched, there is a close to 0 chance it will ever land on Earth. In fact, ICBMs are almost entirely useless technology nowadays.

A nuclear warhead may also be delivered via plane, a la WWII. This too, is largely a nonissue. The odds of a plane getting deep enough into a country while carrying a weapon like that while under the level of surveillance that is currently going on are again, close to 0.

There’s a reason nobody has dropped any Nukes yet. It’s not because anyone is afraid of the consequences. It’s because it’s so close to impossible for it be an actual threat.

Have you seen the Schlep controversy? Personally, I would be glad if my family PC suddenly couldn’t run Roblox and “sorry kiddo it just doesn’t work anymore”
