Slop CEO says what?

The Developer ID certificate is the digital signature macOS uses to verify legitimate software. The certificate that Logitech allowed to lapse was being used to secure inter-process communications, which resulted in the software not being able to start successfully, in some cases leading to an endless boot loop.

This is 100% on Apple users for letting a company decide what their computer can and can’t run. And then brag about its security like it has some super special zero trust architecture and is not just a walled garden with a single point of failure dependent on opaque decision making criteria for what code should be “allowed” to run on the system.

Key and signature based security model does not prove if it’s safe, it proves if it’s approved. They’re not the same.

Macs don’t get malware. Unless it’s malware Apple approves, those are called apps.

brings the dream of endless energy even closer

Yeah that’s not “close” until we figure out how to do fusion with regular hydrogen, you know, like the sun. When your fusion requires unstable and/or extremely rare isotopes it’s not even going to be viable compared to fission, let alone solving our energy problem.

Do people stare at the faces when in a work call and notice glitches? What information are you getting from that? I’ve always mainly looked at the presenter’s screen share and/or other windows on my own screen because that’s where the problem and information being discussed are.

He could put in a free ticket to get a free headset, or just make everyone’s life more difficult every single time they interact with him.

Hey, so have you or any of your coworkers ever voiced your concerns to him? Most people aren’t recording themselves through their setup just to see how it sounds unless they’re a professional announcer or something.

If you haven’t, you’re judging him for poor communication on your part.

Diagrams for complex architectures or control flow is pretty helpful.

Socialize with people in your community?

One of the biggest problems plaguing modern society is not having friends outside of work.

“Because we’re copying all the shitty parts of Apple like thinking we know what’s best for you but without any of the improved UX or ease of use.”

You already can. Use sunlight to generate electricity to power a laser. Blah blah “not economically viable” that’s a skill issue. /s

Damn, 13 BILLION years. That’s a good percentage of the total lifetime of the solar system. Store an archive of all our mathematics, science, engineering, and programming knowkedge on one of those and it might end up being what we’ll give the other animals that might evolve intelligence after we go extinct. We can only hope they use the knowledge better than we did.

Imagine it buffer underruns like super old CD drives

Someone on the other thread in this same community (this was posted twice) suggested thin clients and subscription based cloud instances. Mini PCs would be a mercy in comparison and I don’t think we’re getting that mercy.

Yeah, honestly that seems like the most likely option. You get a glorified dumb terminal that accesses a compute instance under corporate control.

They need all that RAM because their models are bloated pieces of shit.

All Teslas are falling apart, the older ones are just accelerating like their pedals got wedged.

German firms

As in the German bourgeoisie.

Make no mistake, German “firms” are not and never will be China’s “friends.” They’re not even Germany’s friends. This is just a further extension of the West’s outsourcing of labour to China, a decidedly one sided relationship where any benefit to China is a happy accident at best and a terrible side effect at worst in the eyes of German businesspeople.

Because .world definitely uses Cloudflare? https://checkforcloudflare.selesti.com/?q=lemmy.world

Weird. Didn’t notice because Cloudflare blocks my real user traffic because I have the audacity to use a VPN and Firefox with privacy extensions that block like maybe two of their arsenal of fingerprinting tools.

Unless you have a Graphene or Linux phone it’s probably just as bad if not worse than using Edge.

I mean, unless you’re a legend and memorized the Firefox latest release URL you still have to navigate to a website to get the link.

EDGE is a useful app for downloading your new Linux ISO

FTFY

Definitely check the signature though in case Edge decides to inject some “improved UX” into Linux.

Interesting. We’re coming full circle to text being read as images. Like all text was before computers.

You wanna discuss drone warfare against the biggest electronics manufacturer in the world?

Good call. The “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd hate being reminded they lost.

I’ve never seen a mainstream tech news site link to the source code.

It’s like how mainstream science news sites never link to the actual paper.

The article says that DeepSeek was easier to unalign to obey the users instruction. It has less refusals and they make that sound like a bad thing.

From a state control perspective it is. It’s unreliable for state purposes. The AI is less able to stick to a programmed narrative.

Any of the King Bejeweled ripoffs.

Please stop shipping to anywhere.

This has old school “retro futuristic” sci-fi movie vibes and I can appreciate that.

Good thing no one gave a shit because no one asked for those.

This is only a problem if the datacenters are not powered by renewables. Nearly all renewables are the result of solar energy, AKA photons, AKA heat that is hitting the Earth regardless of what we do with it. Solar panels are obvious, but even for wind, it’s the result of the sun heating different regions of the atmosphere at different rates, converting thermal energy from the sun to kinetic energy in the air. A wind turbine converts some of this kinetic energy to electrical energy (which slows the air down ever so slightly), which is dissipated as heat mostly in the data center. The thing is, if the wind turbine didn’t exist, whatever kinetic energy that would have been captured would directly be dissipated as heat anyway in the form of friction in the air. Renewables only move solar heat around, and doesn’t generate heat of its own. Even with geothermal energy, where in theory you’re bringing heat that was trapped in the Earth to the surface, the geothermal sources we can practically take advantage of are already so close to the surface they would have been released through simple conduction anyway.

It is only when you burn fossil fuels that you’re actively generating heat that would otherwise have stayed as chemical energy. But even the heat from this not the actual concern, it’s the byproducts it generates that cause solar energy that would have been released into space to be trapped in the atmosphere. The heat generated isn’t even a rounding error compared to retaining even 1% more solar energy in the air. Same for nuclear where you’re reducing the overall binding energy inside atom cores and the reduction in energy is equal to the heat generated.

Why put them in the ocean when you can just put them on the coast and pipe ocean water through the heat exchanger? That way you can actually access the servers without a ship with a giant crane (powered by fossil fuels) hauling them back up.

Also gonna guess the maintenance intervals are atrocious with all the salt corrosion. Why not a river or lake where the water doesn’t actively hate the thought of metals existing and you don’t have microscopic creatures that will attach to literally any surface and create a calcified dome for itself plugging up the places water is supposed to flow through?

I was baffled by the Microsoft “sea cooled datacenter” and I’m still baffled now. Like surely there are better ways to do it.

Also the arctic isn’t that cold for most of the year anymore.

I mean, the arctic had summers even before the whole climate thing, now they’re on track to being all summer all the time.

Let me guess, only the big name authors and none of the countless people posting their writing projects to the internet (which probably accounted for a way higher precentage of the training data than published novels given how much more of it there is) or the people having back and fourth discussions on Reddit (which was likely vital to ensuring the AI responded to technical conversations in a normal sounding way).

The thing I hate most about the copyright system is how blatantly it helps the biggest creators concentrate wealth while actively excluding smaller and amateur creators. The copyright system is the barrier to entry. You can only exercise the rights theoretically given to every single creator if you make enough money from your art, but to make enough money from your art you need to be able to exercise the rights to it.

Waymos loitering on your property? All I see is free scrap metal, catalytic converters, and expensive cameras and sensors being delivered to you! /s

How do you see it? Is it only on the app?

US libs: “PEOPLE IN COMMUNIST CHINA ARE FORCED TO USE SLANG WHEN TALKING ABOUT CHINESE ATROCITIES TO GET PAST CENSORSHIP!!”

Also US libs: “Unalive” “Music Festival” Bleeping out Palestine “This is fine and way better than communist China”

Also interesting how Tiktok only started doing this after they were forcibly sold off from the Chinese parent company and was forced to conform to “Western values” eh?

One more lane bro vibes

Yeah turns out Facebook users aren’t coherent enough to train an LLM on. /s
