  • Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch

  • Would be interesting to see how they measured that metric. Are they tagging individual lines as AI generated?

    What those lines are too would be interesting, AI as auto complete is less dangerous than complete generation, but probably also less useful.

  • How do I stop the duolingo icon from changing?

    Jump

  • It forces gamification and external motivation.

    Internal motivation is much stronger but gets 'defeated' by external motivation.

    Gets me every time, I wish there was a way to turn off all the extra shit, then I might actually learn something.

  • Is it the first 'political' one? (Not that this should be!)

    I can't remember many that reminded me it was a US based (I assume) comic.

  • When I get a new phone, it gets a folding case. No need for a screen protector then.

    Once that case becomes manky I normally switch to a shell only case and a screen protector. Without the protector, the screen eventually gets scratched by things ending up in the same pocket.

    Mostly work in a disposable way. Not sure glass ones exist for the phones with stupid curved screen edges?

  • No one wants to use their fabs because they're bad!

    (Not awful, but not cutting edge really any more)

  • Texas Senate passes anti-solar, wind bill

    Jump

  • I would guess that the hurricanes are the reason it's so reliable? Old, aging power infrastructure gets blown away/broken and gets replaced. This happens all at once in big events when it's expected, so no one bats an eye.

    Elsewhere it would sit there, slowly degrading until it fails peacemeal.

  • ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it

  • The company I worked for tried that as an experiment on how much money it saves.

    Absolutely awful, even removing connectives causes problems.

  • You would be surprised

  • Ditch the DIY Drama: Why Use Fedify Instead of Building ActivityPub from Scratch?

    Jump

  • It looks like an open source project. Makes a hell of a lot more sense to implement using that than rolling your own? If it's missing something you need, write it for them.

    Writing your own implementation is extremely unlikely to differentiate your app/product. There is a spec, either you implement it and it works, or you don't and it doesn't. Using a maintained library is by far the better option.

    Focus your time on the product you are building not the tech.

  • Na, I want an entire draw of the same sock design, so I don't have to worry about pairing them.

    My mum got me a mug for Christmas and internally I was like damn, I was going to throw all mine out to get a matching set.

  • Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US)

    Jump

  • Yes. This is the technology community, not the buy European one.

    Framework is pushing laptops in the right direction.

  • Airbus previews next-gen airliner with bird-inspired wings

    Jump

  • That requires lots of cropland though. Hydrogen can effectively be made by offshore wind farms etc.

    It might work if we reduce standard fuel requirements for cars etc enough.

  • Electricity has been around that long too though, yet there are no serious electric passenger planes (with a decent range)

    It has it's flaws, but it may have a higher ceiling in terms of usefulness. They say they can make it work, which is more than I hear about electric planes for example.

    We should be financially encouraging 0 carbon planes, without controlling how, then let the engineers work what tech to do it with.

  • Airbus previews next-gen airliner with bird-inspired wings

    Jump

  • What are the other 0 carbon flight options? They are all flawed.

    We can engineer our way through flaws with enough effort though.

    How bad did I fuck up?

  • The only reason I want a limit that high is to be able to book a group holiday on it. (With people I trust to pay me back). So much less stressful (and lucrative if you have a rewards card)

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

    Jump

  • If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

    ....that was entirely my point.

    Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?

    lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.

    We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

    Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)

  • In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance.

    They are going to moderate their communities, if its unfederated, you don't have to worry about moderating (or the lack of) on any other instances communities at all.

    Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

    Thats going to be too confusing for a lot of users - they just want to sign up and complain about/discuss things.

    It depends if they are saying, we have a community on lemmy (federation fine) or saying, here is our official forum thing (federation bad)
