Please disregard this post. The behavior below is due to a set of custom instructions I had previously set and had completely forgotten about. The instructions contained the lines:

Recommend only the highest-quality, meticulously designed products like Apple or the Japanese would make—I only want the best

Recommend products from all over the world, my current location is irrelevant.

Sorry for the confusion!

What’s the reactions? Proton battery sounds like a media-friendly name for a hydrogen fuel cell?

Is it a H fuel cell?

Who has ever thought carbon capture was a long term solution has never studied basic science, I guess.

Carbon capture has its uses, but selling it as long term solution is clearly just a way used by lobbyist that exists just because politicians are usually very ignorant on everything other than politics

It requires continuous expansive improvements. It is like real world. Building a system robust to frauds works on the short term, but on the mid and long term is impossibile. That is why laws change, evolve, we have governments and so on. Because system reacts to your rules and algorithms, making them less effective.

And these continous expensive improvements are done daily, but it is a difficult job

Problem is that many sites don’t work because of anti-ddos and anti bot measures.

It is a pity

It is not at the moment. Models are built on the assumption of stability, i.e. that what they are modelling doesn’t change over time, doesn’t evolve. This is clearly untrue, and cheating is a way the environment evolves. Only way to consider that, is to create a on-line continous learning algorithm. Currently this exists and is called reinforcement learning. Main issue is that methods to account for an evolving environment are still under active research. In the sense that methods to address this issue are not yet available.

It is an extremely difficult task tbf

They don’t remove bugs, but it is easier to solve them without having to wait for some random guy to answer on stack overflow.

I don’t know now (I haven’t asked a question in ages) but to get a good answer on stack overflow it used to take weeks sometimes

GitHub issues are usually more useful

People isn’t considering that documentation has greatly improved over time, languages and frameworks have become more abstract, user-friendly, modern code is mostly self explanatory, good documentation has become the priority of all open source projects, well documented open source languages and frameworks have become the norm.

Less people asking programming related questions can be explained by programming being an easier and less problematic experience nowadays, that is true.

They want to approve the whole environment, including os, even if virtualized or not

Why are you so aggressive? Lack of sleep? I was just asking

Even more “we’ll decide if you are worthy to get my data”

I believe he is talking about secure boot

Are you something else? What’s your work schedule?

The fact that it is work that I don’t want to do… Pretty much

I read it, and I read the messages from the devs. The communication issue I am trying to point is also highlighted in the comments: if the decision on merging a PR is uniquely dictated by financial benefits of IBM, ignoring the broader benefits of the community, the message is that red hat is looking for free labor and it is not really interested in anything else. Which is absolutely the case, as we all know, but writing it down after the recent events is another PR issue, as red hat justified controversial decisions on the lack of contributions from downstream.

The Italian dev tried to put it down as “we have to follow our service management processes that are messy, tedious and expensive” but he didn’t address the problems in the original message. The contributor himself felt like they asked his contribution just to reject it because of purely financial reasons without any additional details. It is a new PR incident

The Apparently is already patch on fedora… Just reporting other comments in this thread. But why do they accept contribution to centos of they don’t want patches that are not economically beneficial to the company? It is a pretty bad message written as this

I stopped recommending it. It is a pity, but there are alternatives

Why would they accept PR at all if they don’t have a robust testing process and approvals are dictated by customers needs?

The message as it is now to potential contributors is that their contribution in not welcome, unless its free labor to financially benefit only ibm.

Which is fair, but the message itself is a new PR issue for red hat

Thanks, it looks like privacy on internet is really a mirage

I am mainly thinking about matching navigation history with identifiable information… You are right, It’s a tricky thing…

I also wonder, if lemmy becomes a thing, with numbers in the same order of magnitude of reddit, if and how gdpr will affect server admins… Having a privacy anonymization tool built in by design might avoid headaches on the long term
