  • Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With

    Jump

  • I was at the Canton Fair last week which is a trade show in China where manufacturers display some of their latest technology.

    There was a robotics display all where they are showing off how lots of factories, kitchens, another labor-based jobs can be automated with technology.

    This doesn't really have a lot to do with AI or LLMs, but the field of robotics is advancing fast and a lot of basic work that humans had to do in the past won't be needed as much in the future.

  • If your argument attacks my credibility, that's fine, you don't know me. We can find cases where developers use the technology and cases where they refuse.

    Do you have anything substantive to add to the discussion about whether AI LLMs are anything more than just a tool that allows workers to further abstract, advancing all of the professions it can touch towards any of: better / faster / cheaper / easier?

  • From the article:

    “The thing about that farmer,” Altman said, is not only that they wouldn’t believe you, but “they very likely would look at what you do and I do and say, ‘that’s not real work.'”

    I think he pretty much agrees with you.

  • I think your strategy makes sense for all workers. Being aware of your role in the final solution is more important than the steps needed to get there, and tools merely change the process, often improving it in some way.

    A guy with a hammer cant automatically build a house without skills, but it sure helps those who have them. A guy with a nail gun can build a house faster and perhaps with less skill, and few argue that it's not a worthy improvement.

    Some types of photographers may no longer need to operate a camera, but instead transition into someone who can knowledgeably ask for the results from an AI that properly captures the mood and tone required for the end result.

    We're changing how it's done, but not necessarily what is done.

  • In the 90s and early 00's it was really common for Universities (for their students and professors) to arrange Unix based shell accounts for email and storage.

    The Apache http server was easily configured to allow per user websites and this was commonly done to give everyone a website. They looked something like a "www.example.com/~username" URL which mapped to a public_html folder inside the user's home directory. Apache would serve up any files or html that lived inside to the public.

    At the time, a lot of people didn't worry about anyone finding their obscure files, so put them there freely for family and friends.

    Wild times!

  • For quite a long while search engines would return amazing results when you searched for

    Dsc-0001.jpg

    And so on, perhaps with some variations based on camera model. People uploaded their DCIM folders to their homedirs which were sometimes exposed to the web. You'd see so much private stuff this way.

    Just tried and it appears such functionality has been removed from Google, because of course it has.

  • This is a case of stupid laws that still don't understand the internet (35+ years in to wide use, mofos)

    If an http GET request initiated from country A traverses routers and wires around the globe to grab some data from a server in country B, then we have to accept that the owners of the server are not "operating in country A" and in fact the user in country A is responsible for import.

    If some laws in country A have a problem with this, then they should unplug their internet wires at the border, or at least learn how to use them and/or govern their citizens.

    All that is tongue in cheek to say they can fuck right off.

  • That was Donnys way to scratch Elon's back for helping with the campaign. After the back stabbing and subsequent fall out, I'm sure Elon took all his people out.

  • In the age of social media it's wild that anyone would entertain the notion that something is going on in a city that actually isn't for more than a few seconds.

  • Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux?

    Jump

  • I tried to make Fusion 360 run under wine and just couldn't get it reliably working.

    There were problems logging in, problems with resolution, issues with fonts and DLL errors. It just wasn't stable enough to rely on.

  • Man buys used Tesla only to discover it's banned from Supercharger network

    Jump

  • Sounds like the issue is that his car was previously damaged. Tesla knows about that and for liability reasons doesn't want him supercharging.

    I'm sure someone is concerned of the possibility of his car bursting into flames during charging because of physical cell damage.

    That is... Not a bad thing to be concerned about.

  • Another update that no one asked for

    Jump

  • Eek, I'm moving towards nextcloud (and away from Google fast as possible). Is there a better all-in-one groupware + files + collab + office apps suite out there?

    It does appear that nextcloud's devs are eyeballs deep in php tech debt, so their pace of development and integration has slowed.

    It's so big that none of their FOSS components are going to be #1 on their own.

    Recently upgraded the version and had to allow untested app versions (which had just disappeared) because they hadn't been updated yet. That's a weird problem and yeah, I don't really want to be beta tester everytime I try and open a document.

    They also don't really have a nice docker compose based deployment yet.

    But I couldn't be happier to be leaving google in the dust, so there's that.

  • v2.0.0: Stable Release of Immich (complete with Merch and DVD)

  • Your's is an interesting edge case but maybe the best solution is keeping a folder full of pics on an external drive and plugging it in only when you need it?

    Jump

  • There's a really nice Google Take-Out parser for immich that will preserve all your meta data during import. It was kind of a dream to use, it worked so smoothly.

    In my case, I moved about 100k photos and videos, and I'm still periodically finding old flash drives and SD cards laying around that were never imported, so im using the migration to catch up on decades of photo archival. So far, all good.

  • Looking forward to joining you guys in the upcoming rebellion.

  • Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?

    Jump

  • I've been self-hosting since the '90s. I used to have an NT 3.51 server in my house. I had a dial in BBS that worked because of an extensive collection of .bat files that would echo AT commands to my COM ports to reset the modems between calls. I remember when we had to compile the slackware kernel from source to get peripherals to work.

    But in this last year I took the time to seriously learn docker/podman, and now I'm never going back to running stuff directly on the host OS.

    I love it because I can deploy instantly... Oftentimes in a single command line. Docker compose allows for quickly nuking and rebuilding, oftentimes saving your entire config to one or two files.

    And if you need to slap in a traefik, or a postgres, or some other service into your group of containers, now it can be done in seconds completely abstracted from any kind of local dependencies. Even more useful, if you need to move them from one VPS to another, or upgrade/downgrade core hardware, it's now a process that takes minutes. Absolutely beautiful.
