The genie produces code at a pace no human reviewer can match. Coding isn’t the bottleneck anymore. I can explore three different implementations before lunch. I can refactor aggressively because the cost of trying something is so low.

Gross

If coding was the bottleneck, there was something badly wrong and AI is not the solution.

That’s not to say it’s the fault of the devs who are using AI, but we obviously haven’t given them the languages and libraries they need to express themselves concisely.

You’re still using their hardware for the coordinator, artifact storage, etc. aren’t you?

The last thing I want to be doing is defending microsoft, but this is inevitable in any free service. In fact this seems like one of the least-bad ways of enshittifying.

We should all be moving to self-hosting or shared hosting through a non-profit, but neither of those are going to be free.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Amendment#Platforms_affected https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions/which-platforms-are-age-restricted

eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.

Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service.

So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.

I try to use firejail on nixos when I can’t do something in the build sandbox.

It’s painful, and I’m always on the lookout for something better. I’d at least like a portal-ish system where I can easily add things to a sandbox while it’s running.

Edit: if anyone has any issues or discussions about this I’d like to contribute.

(1) boilerplate code that is so predictable a machine can do it

The thing I hate most about it is that we should be putting effort into removing the need for boilerplate. Generating it with a non-deterministic 3rd party black box is insane.

I thought I saw it as far back as simcopter

C at least has a preprocessor. C# has almost nothing except generators, which are a huge pain in the ass. Java seems to be similar.

Lisp is the greatest. Everything else is in between.

We should have tools and libraries that help us avoid boilerplate, not ones that help us write more of it.

It’s well worth reading the entire paper. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.

I was a pretty experienced programmer when I first read SICP, but I still found it incredibly valuable. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I use gnome-session-inhibit quite a bit, but it’s hard to imagine a good way to automate it.

Sometimes I inhibit idle to keep something on screen, and sometimes I just inhibit suspend so something can complete.

It probably doesn’t make sense for the terminal to have anything more than a protocol to control it. The only real benefit to that would be in remote sessions, and it’s not really clear how it should work when multiple machines are involved.

I keep seeing this sentiment, but in order to run the model on a high end consumer GPU, doesn’t it have to be reduced to like 1-2% of the size of the official one?

Edit: I just did a tiny bit of reading and I guess model size is a lot more complicated than I thought. I don’t have a good sense of how much it’s being reduced in quality to run locally.

It sounds like you’d benefit from having a project in mind. I always learned programming languages by building something I wanted, or by tinkering on someone else’s project.

I assume they’re going to use it to waste stupid amounts of electricity?

The immigration rhetoric is largely kayfabe.

I think it’s the same with the tariffs. In fact, I think it’s the same with everything he promises. He’ll do a token amount of each horrible thing before he gets bored of it or it becomes obviously impractical (see: wall building).

Mostly he’ll just make everything slightly worse and do a lot of corruption for him and his friends. Just a little light kleptocracy.

I love that you have a very specific and arguably moral crime in mind, and it inspired this post.

Why would there be one answer to this? I’d probably use all the available levels depending on the situation, in the same way I’d use --word-diff or -b in git when I need help understanding a complex change.

Something which notifies you whenever a new comment or reply is made to a selected post/comment, so that you can keep track of any new conversation.

Something like this would be awesome as a core Lemmy feature IMO. It would essentially turn a post (or maybe any comment tree?) into a matrix style room. Lemmy is actually decent for long term discussion (e.g. helping someone with a problem), but not if there are more than two people involved.

Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help,

Use -data_field first as decoder option in CLI. Default value was changed from first to auto in latest FFmpeg version. Or modify AVOption of same name in API for this decoder.

Thanks @Elon for the reply, This is the command we are currently using: ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

I will be looking to see any updates in the FFmpeg documentation. Can you please elaborate and provide pointers the right decoding options or the right FF command er can use. Thank you!

ffmpeg.exe -data_field first -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

Got that’s fucking brutal. This isn’t even asking them to fix a bug, it’s just basic help-desk shit.

I’m sure Microsoft has some good devs that are a net benefit to the open source projects they use, but this is not one of them.

I feel like node’s async model makes it really easy to cause a bug like this, and really difficult to track it down.

It was left to the OS to catch the leak, because the program was written in such a way that it was able to run a gazillion of these tasks concurrently.
