  • ListenBrainz about to hit 100k users

  • So what happens to the data? As far as I can see you're uploading your music listens to the service and you don't have a private profile, it's always public and everything is being provided as a download for everybody. So everybody can get the full amount of my listening history, including Metadata telling them for example when I was awake, listened to sad songs or drinking songs on a thursday night?

  • I've been using LastFM for nearly two decades now. First of all, having personal listening statistics is kind of fun. It might be not for everybody, but it's nice to see which albums are your most played over a year or what you listened to back in 2015, how your favorite artists changed, which album really vibed with you and so on.

    Second, you can get really good recommendations for new music when you have a larger user base and are running into a smaller genres. So just like Amazon's and people who bought this product also bought that product for music. So people who listen to Britney Spiels also like to listen to Christina Aguilera. That might be obvious for you, but it's totally interesting if you go down some of these genres and if you want to explore them.

    And on a broader scale, listening data is quite valuable to create a good music service. So if somebody never heard of a band called Deep Purple and wants to change that, there might be this one song everybody knows from Deep Purple. And this is, of course, the most popular, but how do you find out that this is the most popular? So if you have your own Jellyfin installation, you load in several albums of Deep Purple, but you need some data source to tell you that 'smoke on the water' is that famous song from Deep Purple that everybody's listening to.

  • 79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns.

    Jump

  • There is a good case to be made for "keep it simple". It sounds like a great idea to connect a dashcam to your phone, but that brings so much more complexity into it. Networking, security, updates, changing phone OS and so much more.

    I started to buy simple "single purpose" devices without connectivity in the last few years and so far it has gone great. Yes, I might have to take out the SD card and put it in my computer if I want a dashcam video, but I know that my dashcam doesn't need updates, will work until some hardware failure sometimes in the future, I do not need to worry about some chinese cloud service going down or someone spying on me with the app.

  • Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive

    Jump

  • There must be something really seriously wrong at Microsoft. I can understand that Windows patches are complex and that they might break some of those crazy things people are running on their machines. But how is a bug that is killing access to the C:\ drive able to get through testing? WTF are they doing?

    How many projects involve LLM-written code now?

    Jump

  • I have been following the curl issue for quite a while. I think that it's different from what I wanted to tell you here. Curl is getting too many PRs that are AI generated and the human maintainers can't deal with them all.

    What we are here seeing is people using coding agents and LLMs to help with their own work. So it's a different kind of thing. You can also imagine a situation where projects are getting hammered by AI bot traffic, but are getting also helped by using LLMs with their project itself.

  • Take a look at all the money they are talking about. They have scammed multiple billions and you can guess how many bribes they are able to throw around.

  • There's no reason for thinking that LLMs will destroy open source. People complain about slopware, but might also give us a lot of new cool projects.

    Jump

  • You might not like it, but the whole software development is starting to include AI. So you can expect that every project out there will have some kind of LLM written code in it. And maybe not now, but give it a few months or years and it will be in every major project. And even if you can't see it, there will always be the PR going in from someone who used LLMs.

  • I love password based login

  • It's not perfect but will break many bot logins and people trying different logins from data leaks.

  • Your Phone is an Entire Computer

    Jump

  • The whole point of the article is that the new MacBooks are running on iPhone hardware. And that therefore there's no reason for you not being able to install MacOS on your iPhone. Even your old droid was locked down and you were not able to install a real OS which would have given you the freedom to run what you want without restrictions

  • Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation

    Jump

  • Certainly not. This one seems to be the source article. And you know the problem with those archive paywall busting side. They are doing a DDOS on other sites and are serving malware. So I won't link them. The article in question doesn't have a paywall for me, so maybe clean your cookies and cache or install some paywall busting plugins. Some paywalls are also time based, so they start after a certain amount of days, after a certain amount of visits, and are therefore hard to predict. So no there's no way to link another article.

  • Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

    Jump

  • Yes, they have to. Maybe not rape, but if you take a look at statistics of street violence, nearly in every country, you will see that men are victims, too. In many countries they are all so quite overrepresented here. In my country, men are over twice as often victims of violence on the streets as women.

    So yes, you have to worry as a men when you're out there at night. And it's one of the most infuriating things about this debate that people are totally denying that half of the population can be victims of violence and accusing others of being misogynistic incels. Talk to the men in your life and they will tell you about sketchy and violent situations out there.

    You might also think about what we are talking about here: A billion dollar company is not vetting their drivers correctly. They are talking the sketchiest people, are not doing any form of interview process and are therefore having a problem with their employees hurting, abusing, raping their customers. Their solution is not to increase the safety for everybody, but to accuse one gender of being generally abusive. And if people critic that, they are flamed as incels here? That's stupid.

  • Datacenters are becoming a target in warfare for the first time

    Jump

  • It makes sense in this region. You have cheap fossil fuels, you have a lot of sun for solar, and Qatar and Dubai and also Saudi Arabia are economic powerhouses with a lot of companies, tourists and so on, so you will of course need a data center.

  • What kind of car do you drive, and what kind do you wish you did?

  • Currently an old Corsa D. Which is a great car, honestly. It has already gone 210.000km. So it will not last forever and I would like to have an electric car afterwards.

  • Composting Mobile Phones: Hosting server on obsolete mobile phones— Exposing the Cloud, its servers and their energy footprint through everyday devices

  • Composting Mobile Phones: Hosting server on obsolete mobile phones— Exposing the Cloud, its servers and their energy footprint through everyday devices

  • I'm not sure here. Plugging in a phone 24/7 also means that you're always running on full charge? And that you are always charging a dead battery?

  • 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips

    Jump

  • It would be interesting to see how this works in Chrome. I would guess that it could be the same - people tend to leave their browsers open with hundreds of tabs and will never reboot their laptops. If you play a random game for 2 hours, bit flips shouldn't be a problem. But if you keep your browser open for weeks or months with hundreds of tabs, that may cause problems.
