To be fair, I have never tried it.

requires a victim to first install a malicious app on an Android phone or tablet

Hardware support.

If I have to own a specific phone or line of phones, that I otherwise would never buy, I’m not going to get one just to run Linux on it.

As someone who’s been through the Bay Area/ Silicon Valley Startup gauntlet, I can assure you that there are plenty of engineers who are deep in the AI koolaid.

Goddammit, Framework!

My experience is that OSS security scales upwards based on increased contributors, while commercial software is the inverse.

A small gift repo with a couple contributors is likely very insecure compared to one with 5000+. An enterprise tool from a company with 70 devs is probably far less bloated and insecure than one from a company with 1000 devs.

My 2 cents.

I’m sure when her eventual layoff or resignation hits, she’ll be crying all the way to the bank.

Surprisingly, they found that the rate of change in the labor market’s makeup in the wake of AI closely matches the pace when computers and the internet were first taking off. In other words, AI doesn’t appear to be more disruptive than those two technologies — at least so far — despite heavy hitters like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei saying that AI will cause massive upheaval in the world and that entire sectors of jobs will be lost forever.

So jobs are being lost to AI, but the job loss is in line with other disruptions, as opposed to being more outsized. I don’t think the emergence of computers and the internet were that un-significant, and there absolutely are job sectors that were lost.

eh, using the “computer/ software engineers aren’t certified PEs so they’re LYING” things is such a silly argument. Government certification programs don’t dictate language, and easily half if not more of computer jobs are called “engineers” of some kind.

He called it a ‘film degree’, but it’s actually a 2-year broadcasting and cinematography diploma.

Sounds like a degree about filming stuff to me? Am I supposed to do some kind of elitist, “2-years? that’s not a real degree” thing?

This is nitpicky stuff, and I’m not sure why I’m supposed to dislike (or care at all about) this guy in the first place. The thumbnail literally calls the guy a fraud, but it just seems like the creator has an axe to grind.

Ah yes, all the kids chatting in the PR comments as they merge more porn into their git repos.

Clearly Australia has some savvy folks in charge.

(Hint: it’s actually in order to restrict access to code and tools to bypass censorship)

That is absolutely HILARIOUS.

I think it’s macroscopy vs microscopy.

Food and nutrition and health is all “invisible” to you in a way that a car engine isn’t. To the average person, even hearing cellular functions explained sounds like magic, because it takes SO MUCH knowledge to get to the point where you can truly grok how a specific medicine works in the body.

That also explains why fuel additives are an area where that happens in cars. You can’t see the difference in e.g. AKI ratings in action. You can’t see summer vs winter fuel blend changes. So why isn’t it possible that this additive could do things you can’t see as well?

But… why?

The whole point is that the profiles are real people to network with professionally. The second people know that a profile might be a corporate bot, I feel like the site is done.

Besides, just have a python script that generates generic guy names and picks 10 random IT/ business skills, plus a 30% chance to add “synergy”, “go getter”, or “team-oriented”, and you’ll have recreated the same effect as your LLM, and saved yourself 40 million.
