  • Professor's invisible prompt trap catches 32 students cheating on their midterm with AI

    Jump

  • I'm on the other side of the spectrum. No relevant degree in my field, no certifications, just real world experience. I rose very quickly too.

    I also haven't really seen real world effects of networking with anyone I know. Lots of people join college clubs, go to networking events, etc. but when they need a job or a lawyer or something they get the same rates as everyone else. Maybe it's just my friends though.

  • What do I need to know about the Odyssey before watching the film?

  • I'm not educated here - how is the money not moving through the economy? Billionaires and trillionaires surely keep their money in a bank / investment accounts right?

  • Linus Torvalds tells AI haters to fork off: Linux supremo says contributors opposed to AI use can 'just walk away'

  • I've been in a position of reviewing a ton of slop. It was this way before AI and even worse after. I think the appropriate response is that I don't care if it's human slop or AI slop - I'm not going to do a ton of work to review it if I see slop. I'm going to make a comment that you should go deslop it and let me know when you're done.

  • Google preps Pixel ‘Audio Memory’ that ambiently tracks your ‘important conversations,’ like AI notetaker pins

    Jump

  • One of my banking apps enabled Google Play attestation. It's really infuriating. I don't understand the point either - AFAIK all apps need to be signed with the dev's private key anyway, don't they? If they are then why would anyone care where I downloaded it from?

  • On OpenAI's Support for Rust - The Rust Foundation

  • Nope!

  • On OpenAI's Support for Rust - The Rust Foundation

  • Those companies and firms back Rust because it's memory safe without a garbage collector, and great for general purpose programming or systems programming. That's super important for everyone, but especially large companies working on high performance or mission critical software.

    Zig is not memory safe so it's a non-starter for these things, and has not proven itself in the industry anywhere near what Rust has.

    This has nothing to do with Rust being "corporate" or anything wrong with Rust.

  • Quote of the day by Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'If you put a key under the mat for the cops, a burglar can find it, too' — a stark warning on threats to undermine privacy

  • Can we use Github as free cloud storage?

    Jump

  • Pretty easy for the few platforms offering this to ban you and any accounts hosting your project, even if you make a new one.

  • It's supposed to, but your experience has also been mine for some reason.

  • Cradicle the p2p github alternative (based on Radicle) is looking for users/testers

    Jump

  • There's almost zero reason to choose C for any greenfield project. C / C++ have been plagued with extremely serious problems throughout history because they are not memory safe. The world needs to move on from memory unsafe languages whenever it can.

    Choosing C for something like this would be idiotic.

  • GitHub faces a fight for its survival at Microsoft

    Jump

  • It's nice that they have this but the real problem is GitHub Actions is provided for free for all repos. Woodpecker looks like you need to self host. I'm not going to set up and pay for host just for the small amount of time I have working on one of my projects.

  • Bitwarden's new CEO has a Private Equity background, removed 'Inclusion' and 'Always Free' from their website -- because of course he did

    Jump

  • We really need a VaultWarden service run by a non-profit.

  • aliasvault/aliasvault: Privacy-first password manager with built-in email aliasing. Fully encrypted and self-hostable.

    Jump

  • They said VaultWarden, not BitWarden. This shouldn't affect them.

  • System76 on Age Verification Laws

    Jump

  • isn't this just asking your age when the OS is installed? in that case can't they just install any non-hacked distro and lie? there's no verification, is there?

  • When did lemmy.world start clamping down on VPNs?

    Jump

  • the software is open source. we can verify it doesn't do anything bad. the server is what you cannot trust.

    FCC asks stations for "pro-America" programming, like daily Pledge of Allegiance

  • Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 days

    Jump

  • Worst case scenario where Google makes it extremely difficult going forward, what is the hard part about just never rebasing onto future work from Google?

    From what I've seen there hasn't been significant core work on Android for a long time. It's been mostly changing from rounded corners to square corners to rounded corners, or shoving AI into every nook and cranny.

    I'd think a small dev team like Graphene could maintain their AOSP fork moving forward.
