  • Ask Lemmy: What do you currently use for AI coding?

  • If you forgot to write good code and good architecture, in a span of what, at most, a year, then you were never a good engineer to begin with.

  • Truth can be subjective, in one scenario: when it's not the complete truth.

    However an incomplete truth is via omission, thus making it a lie.

  • DOJ says That Trump Could Tear Down the Statue of Liberty

  • 2012 actually ended the world and we live in a simulation built by aliens based purely on remnants of preserved internet data. Most of what survived was social media incl crap like 4chan, which would explain the sudden uptick of Nazis and Nazi-adjacent views.

    I just hope that something he does goes so apeshit bad that he dies on the golden shitter in the middle of a Temu Twitter rant.

  • Women in Brussels 'filmed without their knowledge' by men wearing Meta smart glasses

    Jump

  • Legally, you don't.

    And while indeed CCTV used to mean that it's closed circuit, today it now refers simply to camera systems installed for public (in the sense of non-clandestine) surveillance purposes. Given most these systems are cloud connected, they're hardly closed circuit, right? Yet we still use the term.

    'Maybe we'll never take it down': Trump compares White House UFC arena to Eiffel Tower, says it could be permanent

  • Might I just add that the British burned the fucking place to the ground and even that did less of a damage to the White House than the orange turd in just a year...

  • Women in Brussels 'filmed without their knowledge' by men wearing Meta smart glasses

    Jump

  • This is what I don't get either. We literally have dozens of various camera options monitoring us in public, from random video doorbells to store CCTV, state/police CCTV, Google Maps cars, people on their phones, police officers and even random hired security thugs posing around with wearable cameras, drones, you name it... but the problem is cameras built into glasses?

    Most European countries have actually codified that one has no expectations of privacy in public - that is, one may be recorded while out and about. Of course there's legislations about harassment - e.g. following someone with a camera and specifically recording them, in an attempt to harass or threaten them - and what essentially constitutes as blackmail ("I'll remove this video of you if you pay me"), so people should be using the recourse for those crimes, not criminalising a new product category.

    Just owning a camera didn't make upskirt photos legal, nor does using a Meta camera glass make harassment legal.

  • Nvidia launches ‘superchip’ putting AI power into laptops and PCs

  • The second part is wholly software dependent, so let's not conflate the two.

    Having local hardware for local LLM (and other models too! there's plethora use cases for AI models, e.g. easily tagging people in your photo library, automatic subtitles for videos, even realtime stuff, we could even have models that automatically categorise photos and sort them into albums based on previous patterns, and so on) is awesome. Not having to trust some random third party with your data is awesome.

    Blending that in with a specially written agent that can interact with stuff is not awesome. The two should be separate, but problem is, most users won't understand the benefit of this hardware without being given concrete examples of use cases like this.

    Teenage boys who raped and sexually assaulted girls walk free from court with £26 fines

  • The case you’ve outlined wouldn’t meet the threshold of murder anyway. It would be manslaughter as it lacks murder’s primary qualifier - intent.

    Teenage boys who raped and sexually assaulted girls walk free from court with £26 fines

  • IMO there's a handful of crimes - generally, the most depraved ones that cause the most damage, such as murder, rape, sexual assaults - that should be handled as if the defendant was an adult, even if they're underage.

    It's borderline insane to think that a 17 year old can walk away from a rape charge with a fucking fine.

    Minor things like theft, sure, have a separate court, take the age into consideration. But anyone who willingly kills or rapes/sexually assaults someone to the highest degree (making the differentiation here because in the UK, only men can commit the crime of rape, as by legal definition, it requires the forced insertion of one's penis into the victim - any other case what one would colloquially consider "rape" is actually "sexual assault of high degree"... it's dumb but it is what it is. Upskirt photos are also sexual assault but we can agree on it being slightly lesser than raping someone, I think), nope, you did the adult crime, you sit the adult time.

  • So, you know, there's tons of organised people. And tons of messy people.

    Well there's a variety of messy people who manage to "infect" otherwise organised/tidy people with their messiness.

    Those are prions.

  • Researchers say they can spy on your browsing by measuring SSD activity through a browser API

    Jump

  • Even without the "browser loophole", developers are pushing Google and Apple about further permissions being granted and sideloading and whatnot. Apple and Google careth not... Your argument is pretty moot at this point.

    And no, you can already do per website permissions. Or what the fuck do you think the notification settings are for, or the PER INSTANCE BASED REQUESTS for e.g. Bluetooth or USB device access? Or when a website asks you to access your camera or microphone? These are all instances of the browser having access and the website having to request permission separately from it...

    Each application should be separate so permissions are separate

    Ever heard of this nifty thing called "sandboxing" that browsers have been doing for, oh, about a decade now?

  • Good luck distributing it "elsewhere" when it comes to iPhones.

    Yes, even with the DMA forcing Apple to open up to alternative app stores in Europe, Apple still has a definitive say as to what apps can be published, and what those apps have access to.

    Also, a lot of the time, a full blown app is unnecessary, or not practical.

    The solution isn't to prevent functionality from existing - this includes browsers and web apps having access to certain aspects to the hardware - but giving the user absolute control over what they allow an app to do.

  • Becau of the push for web apps to get around platform (and platform store) limitations.

    e.g. Apple banned apps for vapes (not just talking about nic vapes but e.g. there's a number of cannabis flower vapourisers that use Bluetooth for fine tuned settings, those were forced to move over to web apps as the native apps simply got pulled), but also software like ESPHome is completely web based and needs access to raw USB devices to write the new firmware onto them, the list goes on.

    Main issue seems to be that a lot of these APIs don't require explicit user approval. USB, Bluetooth does, but apparently accessing detailed system statistics doesn't? Make that make sense...

  • Terminal [SMBC]

  • I've been mainly using gemma4:e4b - interestingly, even though it's supposed be a subset/lesser variant of Gemini for self-hosting, its overall approach in reasoning and iterations over search terminology and query optimisation is much, much better than what you get from Gemini.

    And to be fair I also quite like Perplexity - its ability to find relevant information from multiple sources, find both supporting and counter arguments where relevant, and build quite precise summaries. I do wish it was DIY-able, but with all the malicious actors I don't feel comfortable allowing any LLM to just browse the net, who knows, even with properly secured tool calling, prompt injection can happen.

  • Terminal [SMBC]

    Jump

  • On the topic of AI... I've found that smaller, self hosted models are actually quite adept at helping you search better. I'm not talking about replacing a search engine with an AI interface (like e.g. Perplexity did), but when you struggle to find relevant hits, throwing the query into a mini LLM (3-4B params), one you can even run on your phone, can be super helpful in refining the query itself, including further keywords you might not have thought of. Again, not talking about using a cloud hosted big model that burns through ten times more kwh to give a worse result.

  • Jucika likes beer

    Jump

  • If you ever run into such issues again, feel free to hit me up for a translation!

    Also, the sign "Elfogyott" is stamped on says "Palackozott" (bottled). It essentially makes the story as such: Jucika wanted a bottle of beer, but the shop was out. They did have kegs, though, so she got one, rolled it home, emptied her fridge to keep it cool1 and bottled her own - because we all know that beer tastes the best fresh out of the bottle.

    1 Large fridges weren't that common in the 1950s/60s in Hungary, a majority of the people were still using airing cupboards and mostly bought things that lasted longer - canned foods, cured meats, etc. the fridge was reserved for a little bit of cold cuts, cheese, and mostly drinks or leftovers. My grandma still has a tiny little fridge that sucks up about 5x more power than a brand new one twice its capacity, but the little fucker is older than my dad and aside from the occasional servicing, works just fine, so she refuses to toss it. And for longer term cold storage, especially in more rural areas - even in my hometown, Debrecen, a city of ~250k people - most older houses still have an underground cellar that stays around 10-15C even in the summer... reducing the need for large fridges.
