  • everyone hates AI

    Jump

  • I'm lazy as fuck. I want to solve problems in the easiest way humanly possible. With the least amount of effort output.

    What about you? Do you take the hard way?

  • everyone hates AI

    Jump

  • People around me use AI all the time to get answers to generalized topics. More and more they use it like a search engine / information augmentation system.

    They are not technical people. They mostly know that the information needs to be double checked and might be wrong. But usually take it at face value if the importance is low.

    Honestly this is about what they did before. They would search Google, click on the first blog, skim it, and repeat until getting some answer they believe.

    I too use AI regularly for brainstorming, quickly summarizing massive text messages, and reformatting text from a jumbled mess into something more cohesive, etc.

    I don't love it or hate it. In some cases it saves a lot of time and is useful tool. In other cases it outputs trash that we cannot use for any serious case.

    Just like a hammer or a shovel, it's a tool. Can be used the right way and it can be used the wrong way.

  • UK: Ex-Prince Andrew arrested on suspicion of misconduct

    Jump

  • This plus all the other recent cases of people stepping down or being charged actually should scare the shit out of Trump.

    I mean he's probably still safe at the moment, and might literally die of old age before consequences, but he's only in the clear until the millisecond his "friends" smell blood in the water. Which is evidently starting.

  • Samsung knows exactly how you'll use Galaxy S26 Ultra's 'Privacy Display' in teaser

  • Uh oh... I bet the sound isn't directional enough to work like this too. Yet.

  • What happens to a car when the company behind its software goes under?

    Jump

  • Been like this forever... Version 1.0 always sucks. Even worse is when a company ships a 0.4.2.1 beta and still calls it 1.0.

    Testing costs a lot and hey, why not let your early adopters pay the price in return for having something nobody else has yet.

  • Billionaires with $1 salaries – and other legal tax dodges the ultrawealthy use to keep their riches

    Jump

  • We have to either take it from them, or figure out how to get as much freedom from the rat race as possible by other means. The taking it from them part is difficult because the people with the money also have most of the guns and, by extension, laws.

  • "Normal" Americans can do this too if they have enough capital. The amount needed may be less than you think.

    These outcomes are features of modern finance and there aren't a lot of secrets about how it works. A lot of people could benefit by learning and using the same rules for their own benefit. These so called rich people know it because they talk about it with each other. Normies can look to forums like coastfire, expatfire, leanfire and similar for tips about how to similarly exploit the finance regulation in place today.

    If you get a W2, and you spend most or all of the salary for living expenses - with no gap for significant savings, you're trading a month of labor for a month of living expenses. It might feel ok because you sit on a leather seat or stay in the Hilton sometimes. But if there is nothing left over you're perpetually running on fumes.

    The only way out of this is by cutting expenses and creating as wide a gap as possible and pouring it into assets that grow, not shrink, in value. With the power of compounding returns nobody is more than a decade, decade and a half or so away from freedom. But yeah, you do have to live like a miser during that time.

  • Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source Software, Researchers Argue

    Jump

  • GitHub should have insight on new repositories and repositories that are gaining files like CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md that kind of tip off the use of AI coding.

    My guess is there's a super long tail of projects people are releasing as open source that were vibe coded to solve some simple problem. Most will likely fall into abandonment or never reach any amount of viability.

    On the other hand the cost of starting a project to solve an interesting problem has never been lower. It's never been easier to take a swing at building something cool that people might like. This should expose new opportunities that haven't been attempted yet.

    My intuition says it's not all bad. It's like selling hammers to people who aren't licensed construction workers. Yeah, some stuff will get built that should not be built.

  • "ICE Out of Our Faces Act" would ban ICE and CBP use of facial recognition

    Jump

  • Ever since we started seeing traffic cameras showing up at intersections 15 or 20 years ago and recording license plates, I've had an uneasy feeling that these data pools just become a tool to move against people at any time in the future.

    I'm not opposed to enforcement of rules. I want there to be rules in society and it's important that we have resources dedicated to the enforcement of rules.

    What I don't want is a goliath unfair advantage that can be easily used to hurt people - even inadvertently - by ill-trained or malicious authorities.

    The government has unlimited resources to prosecute people and destroy lives through the process. And it's extremely expensive for people to defend themselves, even when falsely accused. The risk to everyday people, many who are following the laws, is just too high.

    And if the wind blows towards fascist tendencies, that pool of data on you just became your worst nightmare.

    The Fourth amendment was created in response to abuses by British authorities. At one point we wanted to protect individual privacy and property rights from government overreach.

    Americans are not free if they are being detained for "probable cause" because some database + opaque lines of code said there is probable cause.

  • ‘In the end, you feel blank’: India’s female workers watching hours of abusive content to train AI

    Jump

  • I now avoid all videos showing deaths or serious injuries (if I know that kind of content is coming).

    Feels better to not have those images in my mind.

  • Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?

    Jump

  • This thread is actually really depressing.

  • Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?

    Jump

  • Wasn't there an incident where Pelocy was begging for the national guard to be called in? Or maybe one of the cabinet members. And Trump kept declining.

    So the only people to do the shooting were the limited number of capital police. I don't think they're set up for riot defense and it's a lot to ask them to individually put their lives on the line by just shooting into the crowd.

  • Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App

  • Once they are following, I'd think you can begin to convert them to higher tiers of support through private channels?

  • Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App

    Jump

  • It's all about control of reach.

    If I was an influencer and using Patreon (I'm neither), it's a simple decision:

    Total reach * conversion rate * platform commission = income

    Apple's app store has a fuckton of desirable reach - they monopolize (arguably literally) all the easy payments from iphones and kill anybody else who tries to redirect eyeballs. They are too strong. But what else are you going to do if you need Patreons or app customers, etc?

    You can't ignore the reach, and you'd have to pay or work harder to get eyeballs another way too unless you can get free publicity by being crazy or something and pull people into your own payment/ download channels.

  • Workers Say AI Is Useless, While Oblivious Bosses Insist It's a Productivity Miracle

    Jump

  • Any boss ramming a tool down their workers throats without understanding it or validating it's usefulness is not a particularly good boss.

  • Bill Clinton's Turn To Finger-Wag...

    Jump

  • If the incumbent knows the new guy will put him in jail, which is a common thing in parts of the world where power is not often transferred gracefully, he will fight to the death to hold on to power.

    If the new guy lets the old guy slink away, it reduces political polarization. Who cares about the old guy at that point? Because everybody benefits from less polarization and more unity.

  • Bill Clinton's Turn To Finger-Wag...

    Jump

  • Side note: this being a rarity is probably a net good thing. History shows that when the old guy and the new guy fight, it doesn't bring unity or peaceful transfers of power which are arguably more important than the bad one getting whatever they deserve.

  • Selfhosted Jira alternative

  • Huly is worth checking out. We've been on it for about a year. They're in super active developments so features are coming rapidly, sometimes breaking or requiring migrations.

    They have both a SaaS version and self-hosted version.
