Did you read the post? The author suggests trying out other version control systems too.

Also your avatar and the image posted here (not the thumbnail) seem broken - I wonder if that’s due to Anubis?

Most search engine bots publish a list of verified IP addresses where they crawl from, so you could check the IP of a search bot against that to know.

Actually I think most search engine bots publish a list of verified IP addresses where they crawl from, so you could check the IP of a search bot against that to know.

I’ve, once again, noticed Amazon and Anthropic absolutely hammering my Lemmy instance to the point of the lemmy-ui container crashing.

I’m just curious, how did you notice this in the first place? What are you monitoring to know and how do you present that information?

People have a psychological bias to humanize anything that communicates with them and companies are trying to latch onto that mechanism because they benefit when people get an emotional attachment to websites. So I think Google and many others are trying to make people think of websites as things with agencies, rather than machines controlled by people. And yea I think they are partly successful.

Not dissimilar to how LLM AI is marketed nowadays.

My mom asked me the other day whether a virus warning was a scam or not. It was a webpage in her browser. She did not understand that it was not her computer system warning her, but just the website itself. People can’t even tell the difference between their operating system and their apps.

I think you vastly overestimate the technical proficiency of the average user. The average user does not understand technology and computers at all. The average user can barely send an email.

A pi with multiple terabytes of storage?

At this point, it seems like a major existential risk for the internet archive to be based in the US.

no global admins, and no way shut down communities-meaning true censorship resistance.

“True censorship resistance” is not a desirable property. No normal user wants to deal with moderation. You need to have a structure for delegating moderation and such tasks to other people.

Not sure about that one but the following one:

In each language, the words for yes and no never change, regardless of which question they are answering.

This happens in Danish actually. Example:

Kan du lide is? (Do you like ice cream?)
Ja
Kan du ikke lide is? (Do you not like ice cream?)
Jo

So in Danish we have “ja” which means “yes” but “jo” is used instead when answering a negative question, so as to confirm what the negative question asked. This is kind of annoying in English cause if you ask “Do you not like ice cream?” then if you say “yes” does that mean “yes I like ice cream” or does it mean “yes I do not like ice cream”? That’s what “jo” disambiguates.

Am I the only one that feels it’s a bit strange to have such safeguards in an AI model? I know most models aren’t available online but some models are available to download and run locally right? So what prevents me from just doing that if I wanted to get around the safeguards? I guess maybe they’re just doing it so that they can’t be somehow held legally responsible for anything the AI model might say?

Damn! If only someone could’ve predicted that Meta would eventually do something stupid like this! If only we had defederated from them from the start /s

What do all you guys use these setups for?

So as far as I gather, it’s still just as open source as before but you just can’t sell it on the Confluence marketplace? Seems fair.

While there certainly is some blame on the programmers (to the extent that it is useful to even assign blame), I would say it is hardly fair to blame programmers for most mistakes.

Bugs are a fact of life - the presence of bugs can hardly be blamed on a specific programmer. Rather, it is a result of the resources assigned to a project and its quality assurance. Yes, at the end of the day it comes down to the lines of code written, but everything and anyone involved in the process up to that point (like designers, project managers, people managers and of course executives at the top) are to blame as well. Especially the decision-makers who deprioritized security or quality assurance are to blame, much more so than the programmer who wrote the line.

In other riveting news, water is wet.

At least use TOML if you like ini, there is no ini spec but TOML can look quite similar.

No thanks, I’ll be staying with datastruct.nextState() rather than const nextState = prevState.nextState()

You can easily do the first option in Rust, you just use the mut keyword. That’s it, nothing more than that. And you’ll find that you quite rarely have to do that, and when you do it, it’s actually quite a useful signal to be aware of, since mutability sometimes means a bit more surprising data changes.

I wouldn’t even call that a functional feature, that’s just the language being based on expressions and bool having a then method. It’s more object-oriented in that sense if anything tbh
