They could have done both.

If it’s not fixed by Monday, I will consider starting the approval process from the legal department that requires it from me.

I wish I had the freedom to just open a PR anywhere anytime, but I don’t.

Let’s not get carried away.

…

Right…

It sounds like a pull request would have been much more helpful, with much less effort. But you want it fixed less than you want it publicized, so you chose this option (even though you could have done both).

In other words, you cared less about the people impacted by this problem, and more about your own opportunity to put the author(s) on blast like this.

And you care about that opportunity so much, that it’s even worth it to show this dark side of yourself publicly.

Am I understanding that right?

TASER uses their products on their employees? Lol that’s wild

OR maybe everyone — including the poor — will eventually have access to robotic surgeons with the equivalent of like 500 human years of experience, but with the latest surgical best practices that have only existed in recent years. The experience gained by a single surgery could be shared across all of them.

We’re talking about surgery. If some technology can provide significantly more valuable labor than its human counterpart (which, in this case, could mean more lives saved), then it might actually be worth exploring.

If I had to guess, it’s likely due to the obesity problem they were having

It’s kinda interesting how the most power-consuming uses of graphics chips — crypto and AI/ML — have nothing to do with graphics.

(Except for AI-generated graphics, I suppose)

Microsoft Tay would have been proud of Grok for this

Heh, that kinda reminds me of Microsoft Tay.

Very cool. Thanks!

Lol he endorsed Twitter after leaving Bluesky? That’s an interesting series of events.

Yeah I think Twitter has been a net negative for society.

What’s it called?

Does the staple cause any issues?

Why?

It doesn’t need it, it works totally fine without it.

(Also, FWIW, the toothbrush itself connects via Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi)

OOPs

I decided to try Cursor today (first time using any coding assistant) to refactor my sloppy NixOS config, and I’m really impressed to far. My config is so much cleaner and very well documented. It even has automated backups, a README.md, and CHANGELOG.md now!

The cost has been ~$20 so far (I’m still tinkering with it).

ETA: I also use Arch NixOS btw

Edit 2: I asked it “how might I streamline my deployments a little?” It wrote some nicely polished scripts that use deploy-rs, and wrote some nice documentation for it.

The script didn’t work on first run, so I added the console output to the context and asked “what went wrong here?” It debugged and fixed the script, and updated the docs.

I think this has been the most frictionless NixOS experience I’ve had so far

Wow, I can’t believe I almost forgot about netbooks

Nah it was a while back. IIRC there were multiple sources, but I don’t remember any of them 🙃

Though, I don’t really remember the details either. Maybe it was OS specific? I know there was a dodgy FUSE implementation out there for macOS at some point, and Cryptomator mounts its local drive with FUSE. I use macOS and NixOS, so it coulda been that.

I’ve been trying Peergos lately, and I’m pretty happy with it so far.

Google’s nagging offers for free trials of Gemini made me realize that I was basically handing data over to an AI company 🤦🏻‍♂️ So I’ve been looking for an alternative too
