  • Should I get rid of my VHS collection

    Jump

  • As long as you have the player and place to store them (that isn't the garage or attic) , I don't see why not.

  • Well well well.

    Jump

  • Even if you rebase you can still recover the original commits until they are garbage collected. You are generally safe as long as the .git directory isn't deleted, in which case your whole history is gone anyway.

  • Well well well.

    Jump

  • Sounds like a flawed workflow, if this didn't go through at least code review. Was it committed directly to master?

    Curious to know what kind of system relies on hashed not changing? Technically the hashes don't change, but a new set of commits is made. The history diverges, and you can still keep the old master if you need it for some time, even cherry pick patches to it..

  • More for folks from walkable environments, my question is: would you walk an hour and 15 minutes to go to say, the library?

    Jump

  • Walkable means all you need is in reasonable walking distance.

    I wouldn't consider my neighbourhood to be particularly walkable as it's a suburb (in Europe) but my library is about 15 mins walk away.

    Sometimes the amenity you need isn't in that walkable range, but cycling is a great alternative.

  • "Firehose of falsehoods" is the term, i believe.

  • Want to piss off your IT department? Are your links not malicious looking enough? This tool is guaranteed to help with that!

    Jump

  • I was hoping for this. I was not let down.

  • Does anyone actually take into account "IP Rating"/"Water Resistance" when they buy phones?

    Jump

  • Not me. I always used the phone in the rain if i needed to. It's a nice plusy, but I woundnt trust the ip rating enough to carry the phone in wet swimming trunks after swimming.

  • RSS co-creator launches RSL protocol for AI data licensing

    Jump

  • This gives legal backing to any lawsuits against ai companies.

    Currently everything on the Internet is assumed to be free. Robots.txt is just a suggestion and not legally enforceable. I assume RSL is supposed to communicate terms of use explicitly, like a EULA.

    It's like open source licenses on github. Sure you can access the source, but here are the rules you have to follow. Yes, a lot of companies still ignore it, notably GNU licensed software has been abused by the likes of Apple.

  • +10.i like technology itself, although a lot of time it's executed /implemented poorly.

  • Apple

  • I dont think the iPhone camera is better. In blind tests done by MKBHD, Google pixels consistently win.

    Jump

  • Is it really 40$ in that form factor?

  • Apple

    Jump

  • I tried using and old iPhone. You can't install anything on it. If you go to the app store, it won't tell you which apps are compatible. It'll just download the app, and then show you error.

    Android is better at this, apps generally support old versions for longer, and the play store is better at showing compatible apps.

  • It feels so personal

    Jump

  • FS2020 does. It uses bing maps satellite imagery, interprets the map and procrdurally generates buildings. It's impressive, but up close the buildings look generic and rarely accurate. Google Earth looks better.

    However they do have hand made maps of big cities, these are very realistic.

  • JetBrains working on higher-abstraction programming language

    Jump

  • Yes, and it's good that programming languages are still experimented with, otherwise we'd still be writing assembly.

  • JetBrains working on higher-abstraction programming language

    Jump

  • This kind of seems like a solution in search of a problem

    Not like it's a bad things. A lot of inventions started this way.

  • Considering that AI is "hallucinating", and able to make up information that seems true based on what the model was trained on, what is the difference between current AI and the human brain?

    Jump

  • AI is a very broad term that includes more than machine learning. Assuming you mean LLM

    The differences are:

    • it does not learn from experience like humans do. They learn by training, which is separate from conversation where context window is limited
    • they only learn from text (thus name Language Model), so they do not understand other inputs like touch, sight, sound, taste, and many others
    • they do not think critically, take all input at face value, particularly that LLM cannot corroborate input information with experience from real world

    Also if you cannot tell difference between real human and AI it's only because your interaction with AI is limited to text. If you can meet it like a real human, it'll be obvious that it's a computer not a person. If the image is blurry/pixelated enough, you couldn't tell a car from a house, that doesn't mean cars have become indistinguishable from houses.
