Its my strong belief that using AI in any capacity which does not upfront state "the following content was generated by artificial intelligence" is never acceptable. In most situations, allowing an AI to wield your name gives off the scent of "My time is more valuable than yours, so I've automated writing to you." It is quite disgraceful. If your use-case would be materially harmed by an upfront disclosure of AI gene…

There is no confusion, when in receipt of something written using a word processor, that it was so written, and people are free to respond accordingly (though, of course, most of us don't care). There is no such certainty with products generated by AI, so it is appropriate responsibly to disclose it.

An elitist attitude towards plagiarists is common.

Also elitist attitudes towards people for whom English isn’t a native language, elitist attitudes towards people with dyslexia and other conditions that make writing difficult, and elitist attitudes towards people with lower education levels.

The BBC used to encourage its announcers to use Received Pronunciation, which was associated with high social class.

The solution to this form of elitism was not to make everyone speak RP, but to encourage non-RP accents, which is more common in the modern BBC.

Your comment seems elitist by encouraging the use of artifice to fit better into an elitist world, rather than breaking down elitism.

Another funny thing about Mac networking. There's a game I play (Old School Runescape) that does network ticks every .6s. Mac does some sort of aggressive optimization on the network hardware/software, so network this infrequent doesn't keep the layers "hot", and you end up getting delayed ticks regularly, meaning you learn what should be happening in the game .2-.5s late. This optimization for (I assume) battery lif…

Very interesting. I play RS3 and made a helper tool[0] for tracking ticks. I noticed increased jitter on my MBair (~50-150ms) compared to Windows, but I chalked it up to the air being on a wifi connection. I wonder if your explanation's the real reason.

As someone who has dealt with projects with AI-generated documentation... I can't really say I agree. Good documentation is terse, efficiently communicating the essential details. AI output is soooooooo damn verbose. What should've been a paragraph becomes a giant markdown file. I like reading human-written documentation, but AI-slop documentation is so tedious I just bounce right off. Plus, when someone wrote the do…

Classic perfect/good. The choice is not usually “have humans write amazing top notch documentation, or use an LLM”. The choice is usually “have sparse, incomplete, out-of-date documentation… or use an LLM”.

And my claim is that the latter is better.

I am genuinely curious if you are trolling, or putting that forward as a genuine argument?

Trivially, it's the difference between medium, and message/content.

On one axis, whether message is spoken, written via pen or typewriter or word processor, sent electronically, faxed,mailed, etc - it is fundamentally a communication from one human being to another, even if medium / mechanics differ.

The other axis is actual content - genuine human interaction, intent, message and connection, vs a result of a prompt.

Watch some twitch while you monitor it - will magically go away I suspect

Haaa. Confirmed. Went from 200-400ms (worse than I remembered) down to sub 30ms of jitter after putting on a stream. Thanks for the pointer

This works great (and I use it) internally but when you want things like your docker domains to work when you're on the go, it's annoying. I have setup a VM running DNS on my laptop before ...

It is not too difficult to allow your PiHole to serve you globally (but does requiring opening some ports in your firewall == additional security risk). There is a simple checkbox within the DNS's web interface to `Allow WAN Requests`. You'd then only run into issues of accessing your local IP addresses if those hosts aren't configured correctly within your network rulesets . ---- I am a user , not an expert ; by tra…

Yeah that can work, though at that point I start to consider just exposing my "internal" DNS to the world at large - who cares if secret_service.mydomain.net can be seen by everyone to resolve to 192.168.88.4?

You can also do VPN tricks, too.
