We all know the answer to C. In a couple of years it will be a good time to open a "tech debt reduction" consulting company.

Main character syndrome. It comes with the territory of being a narcissist.

How capable are LLMs at replacing software jobs above an entry-level grade? I imagine giving a gaggle of fresh grads the entirety of human knowledge and asking them to create software would create something, but I don't imagine the outcome would be high enough quality to have a net positive in productivity after someone has to spend the next 5 years adding to or changing it.

Sounds familiar. Hype first, promise "next year" availability, deliver on promises never.

I haven't hit one of these myself yet so I can't say for sure, but as far as what I have read, it looks like it.

No. It presents the captcha on your PC, then you need to scan the QR code from your phone.

Given the serious crimes they have already committed, all members of the cabinet would likely face criminal prosecution under a new administration—even within the completely dysfunctional U.S. legal system.

I'm not holding my breath. It would be great if I'm wrong, but my bingo card has the next admin proclaiming "now is the time for healing and unity, not vengeance" instead of actually enforcing the consequences that are supposed to come with actions.

Any old photo of soot dust will do.

I don't like AI being jammed into everything as much as the next person, but some of these are just ridiculous.

  1. Knocking Firefox for AI functionality, but not Chrome? Chrome downloads an entire 4 GB local model without even telling you yet still sends queries to Google's hosted models.

  2. Recommending ls as a replacement for eza is a stupid and redundant suggestion. Nobody learns to download eza first; eza is installed as a replacement for ls because it provides more features than coreutils ls. The cherry on top is that if you use a distro with uutils, your ls is also on this list.

  3. Good luck to any purist with replacing curl with wget. libcurl is everywhere and in everything.

  4. "Linux Kernel"

  5. Both LLVM and gdb. I guess we're going back to the days of printf debugging, boys.

They also need red vision cones to show where the un-stealth area is.

Not just media companies. Media companies where he has a say over the approval of their mergers and acquisitions.

They should switch to 4.3e5 notation. Slightly more precision will help me know if I'm paying $40000 or $43000 per gallon.

 

Modlog, which includes a site ban—something only admins can do.

The community bans also include communities that aren't moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn't aware of actions taken under their community's name.

 

Once one company gets away with it, the rest follow.

 

The Citra website has been replaced with the same statement made on the Yuzu website, and the GitHub repository is now gone as well.

This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. The website is still up, though.

An ad that showed up as I was browsing through the news. Bloody ridiculous...

 

You may know it as Space Melody by Luna Park or as ResuRection by ППК (English: PPK), but the original melody was composed by Eduard Artemyev for the 1979 Soviet film Siberiade. The original name of the song, as titled in the movie's soundtrack release, is la mort du héroes (the death of heroes, if my French is correct).

Here's a link to the original composition, if you're curious.
