The interesting part here is that Tesla seemingly used AI image generation to reproduce the images that they couldn't get with permission to try and skirt around copyright

This wouldn't have made the front page if it was: "How to not store your secrets in plain text"

Absolutely disgusting. This is just plain evil. Absolute stain on Denmark society

South African actually!

Anecdata: my neighbour runs a doggy day care. She's been flooded with 1 star reviews (clearly not from her customers), and received similar coercive phones calls to help her improv…

I've been following work metrics quite closely this year that has this problem. I don't know why I didn't think of this!

i'm actually quite happy that he died without me noticing

If threat to society is the only purpose to put someone behind bars, then a large swathe of the incarcerated population wouldn't be behind bars. You could make the same argument fo…

But the morality is completely different. First one is beating the casino, the second one is marketing gambling to create new generation of degenerates.

You want to start with narrow band. So object tracking, where the object is emitting a single frequency is a great start. i think at 2khz (it is blazingly irritating to listen to),…

Yeah the intuition, is that the sphere of the signal is so large, that any small section of it can be approximated to a plane

The article (and what is generally talked about with phased arrays) generally focuses on radio wave based phasing. This is pretty inaccessible to average hacker. However it works j…

We are also moving away from traditional bowling pins because the mechanisms are too expensive and hard to maintain, and moving towards pins that are attached to strings, to cheapl…

bit rich to call them beggars, when most expect their news for free

My company merged with another company. Both had a monolith. Together we now have 2.

Then you'd have multiple monoliths share the same database. For me that's where I've zero experience, because all engineers more senior to me have cordoned that off and have said t…

If you have 2 monoliths both using a shared library, where do you store the data?

I agree that microservices need to be considered seriously with real engineering thought and not jumped onto to pad CVs. They are a tool just like anything else, and need to be use…

This is the greatest thing i've ever watched. thank you

i'm only aware of the one supporting cape town. do we have more for the main grid?

it's not maintenance if it's for aesthetic purposes. unless there's a serious concern for rust then i don't think it classifies.

could be intentional. Implying LLMs are a proverbial nuclear bomb to the tech landscape. but honestly it threw me as well

If you sandbox your connection to openAI correctly, then you can get the benefit of a llm without making your application look silly at the same time. Identifying the correct place…
