We're in the worst of all worlds. Sometimes it feels like you only know it's a human because the AI would have over-explained. But yeah, this security company only prodded, what, o…

They have "clarified" elsewhere on here that the normal citizenry get a legal exemption [waves hands mystically] somehow, and that they're only blocking people when they legally ha…

As with anything word-gamey involving internet, you will probably have to trim down your dictionary. While I'm very glad my "sxxg" beat their "txxt", the first probably shouldn't b…

Analogies are not the problem. In fact, an analogy is like a good knife; sharp, removes problematic parts, and totally unethical unless it knows the motivations of its wielder. Ser…

I think that's where most people thought that this article was going. Shall we just have that debate anyway? :D The big question that I hoped the article might address: Can AI ever…

This article in a nutshell: AI will never be ethical or safe, because no tool can ever be ethical or safe, without it knowing the complete motivation of any person using it and eve…

It's interesting; I'd imagine very similar design briefs (friendliness, breadliness, etc) The ICBINB font is almost a semi-serif, almost like a sans serif that's slightly melted, w…

No, I agree. That said, I think a lot of that particular shift is down to a) increased individualism b) an emphasis on the healing power of personal boundaries and c) the rejection…

Yeah, certainly tickles a few neurons. I feel like BDFLs are akin to the concept of village elders; they're not immune to corruption or scandal, but they often have this beloved st…

> 1) explained why relying on Docker Hub is dangerous I mean, that's the other 770 words of the article. Except they're just giving their experience, and allowing you to come to yo…

I love how you intentionally cropped off the first two words of that sentence, try to make out that their 30 word side note was actually the whole point of the 800 word article, an…

Here's a tiny bit of missing context. This blog is for LinuxServer.io, who build repositories that produce free docker images, for free, paid for by donations, for a bunch of open …

I just tried it with phi3.5:3.8b-mini-instruct-fp16 - it didn't work with the base question, though interestingly the reasoning decided that strawberry was spelt s-t-r-a-w-b-e-r - …

Yeah, it was paper cuts - for example, if you don't have git installed inside your devbox, it wouldn't work because of different glibc versions. Which would be fine, but my shell p…

My experience of Devbox on Linux has been highly disappointing. I gave it a good go, had it running on my main project from February to May. In case you hadn't realised, the very c…

Yeah, somehow I completely misread that sentence.

Cunningham's law baiting - I love it! So yeah, turns out it's nothing to do with the 8266's board, and everything to do with the chosen relay module. Since it has nothing to do wit…

Ahh! So it's not the ESP that has an extra connection, it's the relay breakout board. That makes much more sense. Yeah, I guess you would need to sound the doorbell every boot, and…

Am I missing something? Neither schematics nor my limited understanding of physics explains why you need to, nor how it is possible to, bend one of the pins to disconnect GPIO0 (ch…

As is often the case, the truth is far more complicated. Firstly, the bridge - while up to code - did not have the kinds of buffers that could have been installed, or arguably shou…

TIL - I have never used make without a Makefile! Thank you!

To compile it you'll need to tell it to link to libcurl, e.g. with -lcurl on gcc: curl https://ifconfig.me --libcurl ip_fetcher.c # Output: your ip address, and a file ip_fetcher.c…

Colonialist: To my mind, it was the 's' on the phrase "primitive peoples". In other words, it is implying that people in our "civilized" society suffer from this, but those more pr…

> In the case of a woman who has a fully developed muscular system and has had ample physical exertion all through the pregnancy, as is common with all more primitive peoples, natu…

Sure. So I discussed this situation generically, because the specific situation doesn't really matter given the question asked. And no, I said it was impolite - but I totally under…
