A percentage between 17 an 22 is not insignificant.

Who the fuck wrote such a terrible article? What is described is not a problem with AI per se, but rather automation and poor security. AI may be part of that automation system, but this is a trend which started with the dot com bubble and not something new. Besides, the models they reference to check plant diseases and so on are most definitely not the LLMs which have now become synonyms of AI.

Sure, a cyber attack can lock down your production; but it is mostly not AI who generated this problem. It may intensify the problem, but as of now we don’t have many examples in which that happened.

I thought it was mostly Argentinians

Red Hay has helped a lot the Linux system, I doubt desktop systems would be a good viable idea by now without their contribution. Does your analogy imply that you think Red Hat made systemd to eventually break it and thus make Linux not viable? I doubt they could do that without losing all their customers.

I mean, systemd can indeed do a lot of things but it mostly is used for startup and service management. And I prefer systems services to a cronjob.

Agreed, but it appears to me that they were equally experienced. He indeed was at risk as well. It appears like a case of unconsciousness and inability to evaluate risk. I brought people picking mushrooms on several occasions and indeed I’d monitor what they’re picking. But if I go with a friend who knows as much as I do it is unlikely I will ask regarding them picking a mushroom I don’t know. I had friends picking mushrooms which are known poisonous and they had their reasons for doing that which were completely valid and did not endanger anyone.

From the article it does not appear that the boy was much more experienced than the girl, it may be incorrectly described in the article as I have not read more information about this. If that is the case I would not see the reason to consider this a crime, as he was not in the conditions to understand the repercussions of those decisions. The fact that he didn’t call for help could indeed be criminal conduct, but it also be that he was under shock and couldn’t handle the situation or that there was no coverage. While this being a crime is understandable, it is probably hard to prove this was a crime.

Is that a USB to USB adapter?

Came from Italy and to be fair I didn’t try too much American food, I guess some corn meal and pancakes, meat was really good; but the real greatest thing I found in the US is the HUGE sandwiches they make in the Publix supermarket. Great stuff, loved it.

When I was young if you were poor you’d know your place in society and just eat fast food to reach a fast death.

Various different types of Parmigiano are available indeed. Some are made in large factories while other ones are made by a couple brothers with some cows. The culture is indeed there, which does not mean such a cheese can not be replicated or even made better somewhere else. Indeed, if you buy Parmigiano outside of Italy it is likely that what you’re buying is coming from a large production facility. However in Italy it is not uncommon to have small productions serving just a few villages.

However, regardless of this, counterfeit products are a problem for this system. Counterfeit products are not necessarily worse, however do not need to comply with the same quality standards which are in fact required in the production of Parmigiano. Allowing counterfeit products to be sold, especially in Italy, would likely drive out the production of proper Parmigiano and eventually result in a quality degradation.

After all, Parmigiano tends to be a cheap product; don’t be a dick and buy the real thing. I believe price increased recently, but I still see 36 months aged Parmigiano for about 15 €/kg while in Spain it is common to pay 10-15 €/kg for fresh cheese.

Is anyone trying to make counterfeit American cheese? As far as I understand it it’s generally the US who is producing counterfeit European cheese.

I am one of these child free uncles. I believe I have two nieces, one of which I guess to be 7 or 8 years old. I have seen one of them once.

I’m sorry, I clearly have no idea what’s good for them.

On a positive side, I live with two children and hopefully that’ll be enough for me to learn how to become a better uncle.

Currently having a new hire write a library in python and I noticed he was doing this in a few PRs. I went and explained to him this was not necessary and that he could just call the original function where he needed it. While showing him how to inline the functions I realised he was actually adding type annotations to functions which did not have them in the original libraries.

Nevermind what I told you, keep doing this.

Thanks for the clear explanation! It’s kind of wild that US citizens can not open companies abroad given the high reliance on finance of the US economy.

Most Americans I met in Europe are still paying taxes in the US. I believe they need to get citizenship or at the very least residency to not pay taxes in the US.

I know plenty people who are currently homeless in Europe originally lost their job following the 2008 crash.

Do you often cut and join audio that you did not record yourself?

The use of AI tools to assist rather than stand in for human creativity does not affect the availability of copyright protection for the output. Copyright protects the original expression in a work created by a human author, even if the work also includes AI-generated material.

I’m not sure where you get that from, I’m pretty sure vibe coding still complies with these indications

Same, my conclusion is that we have too much faith in medics. Not that Llama are good at being a medic, but apparently in many cases they will outperform a medic, especially if the medic is not specialized in treating that type of patients. And it does often happen around here that medics treat patients with conditions outside of their expertise area.

I mean, AI is what took the focus away from QC, especially after AlphaFold. Quantum Computing is potentially a society changing technology, now regarding practice we are really far away. The main expectations are in the field of medicine. I work in that field and I reckon that if the expectations placed on quantum computers were to come true, we’d be able to study the human body much quicker than now and to develop drugs much quicker than now. However, I do work nearby a Quantum computing centre and I have met quite a few persons who work in the field, both as researchers and entrepreneurs. Currently no computer can be used to make any real calculations and it is actually unclear if the molecular simulations are actually possible with a quantum computer. As far as I understand it, it may not be possible to encode the whole system in a quantum computer before it loses coherence. This may be an intrinsic limitation as for real problems you’d need to encode tens of thousands of electrons.
