  • The U.S. just pledged hundreds of billions to protect its AI leadership. A Chinese startup with a ‘joke of a budget‘ may have already undercut those hopes

  • Deepseek api is down today - probably a result of their viral success recently..

  • It's my 54th BD, left a $83K IT job last summer, interviewing at Lowe's tomorrow. Is it weird I'm looking forward to it?

    Jump

  • I dropped out of the IT game before I even started (dropped out of an IT qualification 20yrs ago), and can honestly say it was totally worth it.

    Now I spend some happy evenings working on IT side projects related to my main career (entertainment) and it's fun. I even make extra cash doing freelance programming but because it's not my main hustle I get to choose to say no.

    What I'm saying is while you are at the hardware doing what you enjoy, there is nothing stopping you from doing freelance IT work on the side, just look for the projects that inspire you. It's not all or nothing decision..

  • What's your religion?

    Jump

  • So my parents were Catholic and Atheist respectively. I have great respect for religious beliefs but am an atheist myself.

    My town is very multi-cultural and due to the work I do, every year I am privileged to be invited to Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Jewish cultural events.

    I can happily say that the main thing that always strikes me is the friendliness of ordinary people from all faiths and walks of life.

  • Open source router firmware project OpenWrt ships its own entirely repairable hardware

  • I need this but 4G version..

  • Google why?

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm still pissed about them removing the menu button that all of my apps used to depend on back in the day. Now it's the whole selective file permissions dance giving me a headache.

  • Do any non-corpos actually like AI slop?

    Jump

  • Boilerplate code (the stuff you usually have to copy anyway from GitHub) and summarising long boring articles. That's the use case for me. Other than that I agree - and having done AI service agent coding myself for fun I can seriously say that I would not trust it to run a business service without a human in the loop

  • Work of pure human soul (and pure human sweat, and pure human tears)

    Jump

  • I ran it on my dual core celeron and.. just kidding try the mini llama 1B. I'm in the same boat with Ryzen 5000 something cpu

  • YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog

    Jump

  • So AdGuard works on the YouTube website. I haven't been there for some time - I use 2 other methods to watch YouTube ad-free.

    1. Newpipe - Android app that works by parsing the website, will probably be affected?
    2. YouTube Kodi add-on - works with Google YouTube API, I was wondering when this loophole is going to be plugged..

    Anyone with knowledge of the matter care to comment? So far my YouTube watching is still ad-free.

    I also run pi-hole in front of my WiFi. Nothing gets through. Or will it?

    I noticed some podcasts these days have random server injected ads - usually the same ad repeated 2 or 3 times, is this going to be my video stream soon?
