Why do people keep calling it “the Ukraine”? Serious question.

rikudou ,

I think everyone knows the name, he’s kinda (in) famous lately with all the talk about nuking Europe and stuff. It’s Medvedev.

rikudou ,

When they decide they should be the president until they die and make it legal. Putin has reached that milestone a while ago.

rikudou ,

Ah, TIL. It sounds really weird to me, like saying “the Germany” or “the France”.

My language doesn’t use articles like “a” or “the” so similar issues don’t exist here at all.

rikudou ,

I wouldn’t count the part where he was acting president instead of Yeltsin, but yeah, since 2008 he’s stopped being sneaky about wanting to be a dictator.

rikudou ,

Ukraine is not a predominant geographic feature? Like, I know what the name means, but for English speaking people the word doesn’t mean anything?

rikudou ,

Fall Guys. And Pokémon Unite, but you’d have to emulate the Android on your PC and I haven’t been successful on Linux.

rikudou ,

I haven’t, but it’s a bare bones emulator, isn’t it? You also need some mapping software for that game to work.

rikudou ,

Avahi basically broadcasts to the whole network “hello there, my name is some-cool-domain.local”. When you request that address, your router checks if someone broadcasts that name and uses their IP if so.

rikudou ,

Not the same, IMO. Stimulus checks are not for everyone, there are rules, which means that they can’t raise prices universally, because not everyone is getting the money.

rikudou ,

May I advise you to stop calling people daft and then simplifying a complex issue? Or perhaps don’t call other discussers daft at all?

Anyway, the difference is in execution: when only a portion gets the money, corporates can’t take the whole stimulus from you, because not everyone has the same amount of money.

When everyone gets a stimulus, it’s basically free money for corporations. If everyone gets $1000, you can get corporations will find a way to raise their prices by $1000 over a short period of time.

If my high school Russian holds up, the picture says “time to vote”.

rikudou ,

That was kinda obvious since the beginning.

rikudou ,

I’m an architect, I’ve never designed a house.

rikudou ,

Well, that sure is an opinion.

rikudou ,

Well, I don’t have any experience asking it for career advice, but I have worked with it quite a bit and it’s quite shitty once you get to anything that starts resembling complexity. This is definitely not a tool I’d go to for any advice beyond the simplest ones.

rikudou ,

Don’t get me wrong, it saved me a ton of time. Just recently I needed some coding help that would probably take me hours of searching. Doesn’t mean I’d trust it with advice, that’s something entirely different than spitting out code that works half of the time.

rikudou ,

Well, one more comment like that and I guess I’m gonna have to edit my original comment, because I don’t want to explain again. I’m getting quite a lot out of LLMs (GPT-4, to be specific), it’s just that they’re very stupid. When they don’t straight up lie, they don’t know stuff. It’s quite simple, really, I usually deal with very complex problems that few people dealt with, the AI has (close to) no data on that, so it runs in circles and is not able to help.

But when presented with questions that it has training data on, it’s brilliant - recently I needed to use reflection to get all types implementing an interface in .NET with the caveat that the interface is generic. GPT-4 was able to solve that problem 3rd message in the conversation, while I’m pretty sure it would take me hours, because I’d need to learn a lot of .NET’s internal workings before arriving at the quite simple solution.

So, a good career advice - which one do you feel like it is? A simple question with a straight correct solution, or a complex and nuanced issue where there isn’t one general truth? Because the only correct answer to a request for career advice by someone who doesn’t know your situation extensively is (a version of) “I don’t know, what’s your situation in detail?”. Knowing GPT, it didn’t ask that question.

So yes, LLMs are great! Just learn which use-cases it excels at and don’t ask it for complex advice.

rikudou ,

It was millennia ago when I first read “don’t ship your own date/time library”. Guess these fellas somehow missed it.

(I did this thing a while ago, but hopefully it doesn’t count since it’s a joke library)

rikudou ,

I honestly have no idea, it’s been a while since I wrote it.

rikudou ,

Ah, the new Internet Explorer.

rikudou ,

Yeah, his tweets are the bad thing. Not that he does all he can to turn his employees into literal slaves. It’s the tweets.

rikudou ,

That’s really ignoring all the direct nasty stuff Musk did.

rikudou ,

He is exceptional in being a dick, though. Of course not on the Hitler level, obviously. But it always gets me when people think his weird tweets are really the worst he’s done.

rikudou ,

Not sure how it’s in India, but in mine the farmers blocked the roads to our capital and burned tires. That’s not what I call peaceful.

rikudou ,

Having a painting made by an actual human hand on your wall will be more ego-boosting

Nothing really changes, this has always been the case.

rikudou ,

I think a colleague of mine made a great comparison: It’s like having access to a thousand junior devs who can reply really fast.

rikudou ,

So it’s a centrally controlled network? That doesn’t really seem like proper federation protocol.

Or is it only to federate with their main instance? Meaning InstanceX and InstanceY can still federate with each other even without approval from the overlords.

rikudou ,

Not really. Americans of course have a culture as does any sufficiently large group of people. It’s just that most people don’t consider it to be anything worth mentioning.

rikudou ,

Some see it as an opportunity to make the chatbots better, some see it as a reason to shut them down. You luddites sure are an interesting bunch.

How do I automount sshfs?

I have SSHFS on my server and would like to have it automatically mounted and store all of the documents, desktop, downloads, etc. on a couple computers. I am able to get it to all work except for mounting on startup. The server is Debian 12 and both clients are Tumbleweed. Nothing in fstab seems to work. When I add...

rikudou ,

store all of the documents, desktop, downloads, etc. on a couple computers

Why use SSHFS for that? I recommend using Syncthing, it’s great for synchronizing stuff across multiple PCs (local and remote).

rikudou ,

That looks like a minified webpack (or something similar) output, not a transpiled typescript output. Also the code is not valid.

rikudou ,

Which “we” are you talking about? Because a lot of Russians vote for him (and I don’t mean just the fake votes, but the real ones as well).

rikudou OP ,

Well, definitely sounds like something they’d do. EU might force them not to, though. Only time will tell how it turns out. But definitely recommend the move to Android!

rikudou OP ,
  1. Buy an old Xperia 10 III.
  2. Flash SailfishOS there
  3. ???
  4. Profit
rikudou OP , (edited )

Much worse than Google IMO, at least when it comes to fucking with rules made by EU. Google usually tries to appeal legally and if it doesn’t work out, they do what they must. This Apple bulshittery with 3rd party app stores is a new one. Someone here in this thread said that the worst EU can do to companies breaking DMA is forcing them to sell the division. I would love for Apple to push EU that far.

rikudou OP ,

Most likely not, UK does not use EU laws anymore.

rikudou OP ,

Heh, welcome back soon!

rikudou OP ,

Well, now they can use their own Facebook App Store on iPhones in EU, so not sure it really changes anything for them.

rikudou OP ,

Yeah, I’ll wait until EU has their say, because the shit Apple came up with goes against what EU is trying to achieve.

rikudou OP ,

I don’t think so, they’re just trying to make the experience worse and then say “it’s the EU that made us do it”.

rikudou OP ,

Yep, fuck them. For me it was not the deciding factor in making my app a PWA, but it definitely was one of the reasons I went for it.

rikudou OP ,

As does every good phone in that price range.

rikudou OP ,

This year’s top Samsung has 7 years of updates guaranteed.

rikudou OP ,

What’s this fabled build quality that other phones in the same price range don’t have?

rikudou OP ,

Unless you force them to open up their system for 3rd party stores and browsers like EU did, I think you’re fine.

rikudou OP ,

Glad I helped you!

rikudou OP ,

Yes, indeed, it’s your local timezone.
