4 people host libraries that my tech illiterate boomer parents access.
One login, many servers, singular interface.
That is very specifically the situation I’m in. Jellyfish, emby, you wanna whip up a persona… that’s a pretty damn clear-cut one for ya
No, thus is totally fair. If i can try to reflect what I just heard:
“Collaboration is easy due to persistent identity and an implied/portable workflow”.
I think this is especially valuable in FOSS. I’ve experienced it.
As someone who has never really used github (I have for a few minor FOSS contributions… very short touchpoints) but use self hosted git…
… what is github even fucking offering???
From my naive perspective it’s a light touch web ui on git?
I don’t understand what gravity well it provides… what escape velocity is required to bail on it.
From my naive perspective, I’d have as much allegiance to ot as I would be to an ftp server. Not happy? NP, I’ll take 17 minutes to move to 1 of 9999999 other equivalent services, or take 95 minutes to self host a functional equivalent.
It’s actually crazy how incredibly wrong that is.
What is the CEOs job? To make profit? To select winning products? To chart a long term course?
Nope.
Nope Nope Nope.
Thier job is to increase the value of their outstanding stock. That’s it.
Now, given the fact that the stock market is a fucking casino… sure. Making profit is A way to TRY and increase your stock price. Making wise product decisions is A way to do that. This is a Warren Buffet type of CEO.
You also need to “read the room” (the room being investors) understand what they want to hear, and start saying it. No matter how stupid it is. No matter if you know full well it’s stupid.
You’re bringing an incredible product to market, but the markets are demanding headcount reductions? You start firing people that you desperately need to keep. You’re an office supply company and the market is rewarding IT investment? You hire 100 devs to build an app that a team of 5 people could have made and nobody will ever use anyways. It’s like that meme of the dude on the assembly line saying “guess we doing X now”.
If the whims of investors are convinced using AI is what is valuable, they will spend more on AI than humans for as long as it’s the case that the market will reward them for doing so… despite it being objectively inefficient.
You gotta remember that company stock is like a currency they can print at will. As nice as it is to have a profitable business… it’s even nicer to have the luxury of being able to just print money.
It’s right-wing onion. That’s why they’re spitting at universities.
I viscerally recall, and don’t think kids now will ever fully comprehend the one week where all 4 wheels fell off the meme bus and this was what people were literally posting. I’m legitimately triggered.
Really hate it when people ask questions, eh? Ngl, kinda ableist to bring “capability” into it, you utter buffoon. Bike racks. Noon.
I hate the generalized concept of “AI”, but I love the concept of “Machine Learning”
If you think LLMs are good at anything, I am almost 100% certain to disagree with you about pretty much everything, to help you understand this distinction.
Anyhow, some computer scientists found that a machine learning algorithm could predict beyond a null hypothesis that A fingerprint belonged to a person given a different fingerprint (different finger but still same person)
“Criminology” expers were just like “no, it’s settled science”
This is the state of discourse.
why do I even feel the compulsion to preface by saying my bit about ai and llms?
how tf is “settled science” even a concept in a science
You presumed extremely incorrectly, which is impressive because I left my original comment concerned that I’d been far too explicit and about a very specific irony… and things only got weirder from there.
“I can’t prove it… but I deeply believe it… and I want you to respect my belief”
That coming from Dawkins? His apostles backing him up on that?
I feel like Aston Kutcher is about to jump out of the bushes to tell me I’ve been punk’d.
I mean, it was a fantasy.
In the fantasy, AI would be doing the stuff you DIDN’T want to do. Any time it freed up meant you’d get paid the same, just work less.
Obviously the second point was obviously not how it’d pan out… but in the fantasy it did.
When the rubber hits the road, the reality crushes the fantasy. A lot of the work it’s doing is stuff people were passionate about doing. And obviously the tooling is being used to buttfuck everyone on the planet to enrich like 1000 people.
For a great many things and people, the fantasy is better than the reality. It’s the same general concept of life lessons like “Don’t meet your heros” and “You can never go home”. I’m frankly envious of people who are confused by this.
If you can generate an input which satisfies an md5 comparison which results in being able to authenticate with a system, then I think debating if that is a “crack” or not is purely semantic.
Although you are for sure technically right, I think any actually observed md5 collisions are with very large inputs, many orders of magnitudes longer than a password. The smallest input (first found, almost certainly) is almost certainly what the original password was.
They heard and absorbed the hard truth that politicians get to where they are by fucking people, but just completely misunderstood it.
We do. I think a stronger innate understanding of the relationships involved makes it a lower-stress affair.
“I’ll do my best. It might work out, it might not… but even if I fuck it up and my mom is annoyed, I think that’s ok, because I can navigate my mother being annoyed effectively”
Is the general consensus that this is a mistake on the part of the government of China?
This is a concise and correct answer to a significant percentage of questions I hear.
Basically 40 space hearers
My point is that if you shouldn’t be paying anyone for shitty comments.
Yeah for sure. Super easy. Merely be born in 1959
