If Microsoft wants an application for AI, how about they have it decide if a Teams notification is important or timely BEFORE making my phone beep...

TrueNAS gets it right, while Red Hat/RHEL stumbles into it by accident

A truly great GPS clock would not only get the current time from the satellites, but also lookup the timezone and DST rules from using it's position.

It's so much easier to buy supplies for future-me's projects than to actually do what past-me wanted now.

ghost editing experiment [welcome to ignore]

Spun up a blog/git host on a web server managed entirely by Guile Scheme and now I feel like a goddess

augh, hate interractŋ w/illiterate fucks.

The phone number system is so broken...

To a developer, the point at which software works is considered a prototype, but to the business it is forever complete and finished.

As long as I can remember, a local radio station has in their bumper a slogan of "playing music from the 80's, 90's, and today"

I like to read psyc and philosophy before bed

Perhaps the real measure of AI is entropy resistance/reduction?

Strange that google maps still shows RedBox locations. They even seem to be "promoted" (more visible that other businesses).

It's surprising how many job listings have "experience with AI-powered dev tools" as a requirement

It's interesting how grapheneos can rightfully say that a device "is not safe to use with any operating system"...

Would you still support democracy if 51% of the people wanted to harm you?

It looks like you haven't used Firefox in a while, would you like to UNDO all of your meticulous setup and custom configuration with a single press of this button?

Spamming & scamming must be highly lucrative, or there would not be so many people employed thereto... I wonder if it is possible to estimate the industry size from the number of daily calls one gets

The easiest way to get those IRC nostalgia vibes: ssh chat.shazow.net

joys_of(self_hosted(email) + ipv6 + flaky_assumptions + lazy_implementations + mechanical_inhumanity)

Filling a pregnant pause with "Bueller...? Bueller...? Bueller...?" is cringe

The fear of forgetting is fueled by half-lost memories

Sometimes it seems like everything is broken, and nobody cares.

If a leaf falls into a pond, does that make it tea?

Maybe perpetual stew would be better made in a large u-shaped pot? One side to put ingredients in, the other to serve food out... relying on statistical migration, or something.

"this is a remote position, but if you live within X-miles of one of our offices, you are expected to..."

It feels weird seeing job listings for "Prompt Engineer"...

Explicitly understandable and debuggable is better than magic that somehow works until it doesn't

When a support agent asks me to clear my browser's cache and cookies, I get the feeling that they don't care...

Lemmy community concept: Images are posted without context, and people argue whether they are AI generated, or real images... along with their reasoning.

I wonder if there is anything to be gained from non-orthogonally-sliced bread (e.g. if each cut was 45 degrees instead of 90)... sure, there would be two funky heals, but each slice would be bigger

How much you wanna bet that Sam Altman's ChatGPT prompt and image generation is totally unrestricted and uncensored...

I wonder what LinkedIn would look like, without the posturing.

Nearly every day I get a mailer with a picture of my house, crediting Google street view.

I wonder if there are any IRL examples of turn-based combat, besides competitive slapping

If I could make the smallest and safest change (or plugin) to email clients to help fight the phishing war...

One would think that all the books that Google has scanned and OCR'd would give them some kind of edge in the LLM-AI department (maybe a virtual research assistant?)

TFW you step away from conventional social media for a bit, and you come back to find nothing but AI bots.
