On a hot day, cool the car down before you get in. Same for the inverse of wanting to heat the car up before you get in when it’s super cold.

Technology@lemmy.world•Linus Torvalds says AI-powered bug hunters have made Linux security mailing list ‘almost entirely unmanageable’English
65·2 months agoThe problem isn’t that AI is maliciously spamming the mailing list, it’s that AI is able to find and report real or potential security vulnerabilities at rates that no human organization can process fast enough. Open source browsers and Linux have been slammed lately with vulnerabilities found by Mythos.

2·11 months agoIndustry growth. Turns out it’s a lot easier to “think of the children” when the industry is small and niche than it is when it’s making investors billions of dollars a year. Turns out capitalism makes problems harder to solve once the problem itself makes money (see also: tax preparation)
That’s also why the moral panic people switched from trying to censor games through government to trying to do it via finance (e.g. Collective Shout lobbying banks, credit cards, and payment processors).
Though if your question is about why the contrast between moral panic over game content and the lack of moral panic over actual victimization — I think that’s always been the case, unfortunately. People seem more fearful of their children losing their morals than they are of people with no morals harming their children.

2·11 months agoIt’s easy enough to fork the code as it existed under GPL3. Violentmonkey did that when they forked from Tampermonkey.
This dev also doesn’t sound like he wants to put much effort into enforcing his license in the first place.

12·11 months agoHigh likelihood this just some AI bot with no oversight fucking up than something malicious. Outlook.com’s support system is atrocious and devoid of humans at this point unless you’re an enterprise.
I tried to go through their support to tell them their junk filter was fucking up (bank alerts being marked as junk with no way to override) and got nowhere after like two months. Had to change the email I use for banking.

9·11 months agoThey know. The PKGBUILD they provided is exactly the kind of thing that’s in the AUR. The dev’s PKGBUILD wasn’t in the AUR because they didn’t want it to be — instead hoping arch users would go to the repository and use their maintained one. Arch users continued to try to use AUR instead, leading to the dev’s frustration.
I don’t expect this will help anything. If the AUR maintainer is active, they will probably just patch that restriction out.

Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI agreed to pay Oracle $30B a year for data center services | TechCrunchEnglish
17·1 year agoWith how expensive AI seems to be, it’s baffling to me how companies expect to turn a profit on it. 30B a year sounds more like the budget for an entire government scientific agency. And if that’s just for the data services…
The act itself still appears to include the language excluding wifi spectrum.
Certain frequencies used primarily by the Department of Defense and unlicensed devices, including Wi-Fi, are excluded from auction eligibility
EDIT: Unless that only protected sub-6 wifi frequencies…
Wifi6e/7 6ghz spectrum that was reserved for wifi got approved to get auctioned off
I don’t think that’s exactly right. Spectrum that’s already reserved for unlicensed use (wifi) was explicitly excluded from the auction directive.
There may be some spectrum in that band that’s not already reserved for wifi yet that will end up auctioned, though.
The main advantage of 5g was never really speed, but rather spectral efficiency. It allows the same speed to use less spectrum.
Swipe typing(and word suggestions) are on the roadmap for Florisboard 0.6 I believe (EDIT: Swipe typing is mapped for 0.7). Though, they were also on the roadmap for 0.5 until recently…Florisboard used to have swipe typing, but it just wasn’t really useful without a working suggestion engine, so it’s been disabled.

They are putting them in Alaska (the governor is even working to attract more), but sparsely populated Alaska doesn’t currently have the energy infrastructure to support a major build-out of data centers there.
