The audacity to tout classism and ableism as reasons as to why people should "get to" use LLMs for their "write a novel in a month" challenge...

Even when someone's inability to write a novel in a month is because of their class or disability, I somehow doubt they want to let a machine write their novel for them. I mean, it's not like NaNoWriMo is a way to put food on the table or something, right?!!

This feels like the arguments Mid journey ~~fellators~~ fanboys were spouting a year ago (or has it been two?) on how not everyone can afford a school of fine arts 🙄

Their starting aside is pretty great as well;

And I’m using that term throughout this post because it’s the commonly accepted descriptor, but we all know it’s not really artificial intelligence, right? I also want to distinguish it from actually-useful and ethically-produced technology like what gets used in the medical field to help humans examine and analyze impossibly huge datasets in the service of doing things like curing cancer. We’re talking here about the plagiarism machines like ChatGPT, everything it underpins, and all of its conceptual mirrors.

Leave no wiggle room for the AI sycophants.

As we have seen in months past when Linux takes a sizable dip, it’s correlated to a rise in the Simplified Chinese use. In August the Simplified Chinese use further grew and helping out Windows at the cost to the Linux percentage.

So, the solution is clear: get all Simplified Chinese users to switch from Windows to Linux :D

Après ~6h de jeu, je fais le constat : ca fonctionne plutôt bien !

J'ai pu faire une partie en quick match sans soucis. J'ai aussi pu faire plusieurs parties custom avec un pote via le système d'invitations. Le seul soucis avec celles-ci, c'est qu’apres la partie terminée je n'arrive pas a rejoindre une nouvelle partie via invitation sans redémarrer le jeu. Il met a peine une dizaine de secondes a se lancer sur ma machine, donc c'est loin d’être bloquant pour y prendre mon plaisir !

précisions : je suis sous Arch Linux et j'ai suivi a la lettre les instructions dans le lien de ce poste, inclus la partie "pour jouer en multi"

Je suis agréablement surpris par la qualité de cette video !

Traînant dans le game dev moi-meme depuis quelques années, je n'ai rien a rajouter sur le sujet de l'IA, et ma seule critique de la video serait sur un des tout derniers propos. Si la lutte est souvent requise pour prendre du plaisir en la réussite, il faut quand meme avoir l'impression qu'un jour on réussira pour continuer a lutter (dans le cadre du jeu video comme passe-temps ludique).

Haven't bought the game yet, but these instructions seem legit. I found this link in a ProtonDB comment who claims to be its author/hoster: https://www.protondb.com/app/1934680#WRxwBwtv-Y.

 

Je n'ai pas encore acheté le jeu, mais les instructions m'inspirent confiance. J'ai trouvé ce lien dans le commentaire d'une personne sur ProtonDB qui prétend en être l'auteur (ou au moins l’hébergeur) : https://www.protondb.com/app/1934680#WRxwBwtv-Y.

Par hasard, il-y-aurait des jlailutines ou -lutins qui ont le jeu et sont sur Linux qui pourraient témoigner ?

We also added the ability to pin the resource patch, and the count of remaining ore will update as the patch is mined. You can use this to keep an eye on how things are going, and be aware when a patch is running dry.

Yet another great mod transcending its mod status to be assimilated into the base game!

1950

Given they were still serving wine in school cafeterias until 1956 (and in highschool until 1981) I'm not surprised this man was not prepared for the taste of Coca-Cola ™ !

Having just watched the lecture, the only classified info I can recognize is the capabilities of 80s era satellites.

Given that, I think it's quite a shame that the whole thing is only now available. Rear Admiral Hopper seems to have been someone who deeply understood both computers and people. The prescriptions she gives regarding "systems of computers" and "management" vs "leadership", to name just two, are spot-on. Her lecture is quite grounded in what I'd call "military thinking", but that's just because she's in a room filled with people who are of that life. In my opinion, everything she talks about is applicable to communities and businesses.

The general gist of the entire ~90mins reminds me of Project Cybersyn in its perspective on how computers could serve society.

The idea is neat, and there is a certain precedent for the approach in .htaccess files and webserver path permissions.

Still, I worry about the added burden to keeping track of filenames when they get used as stringed keys in such a manner. More plainly: if I rename a file, I now have to go change every access declaration that mentions it. Sure, a quick grep will probably do the trick. But I don't see a way to have tooling automate any part of it, either.

The idea & execution are great, I just don't know that I would ever do this for collecting into Vecs myself.

When I'm tired of writing turbofish, I usually just annotate the type for the binding of the "result":

let d = [1i32, 2, 3];
let y: Vec<_> = d.iter().map(|x| x + 100).collect();

So often have I collected into a vector then later realized that I really wanted a map or set instead, that I prefer keeping the code "flat" and duplicated (i.e. we don't "go into" a specific function) so that I can just swap out the Vec for a HashMap or BTreeSet when & where the need arises.

 

What?

I will be holding the fifteenth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Last time we began chapter 7 (Managing Growing Projects with Packages, Crates, and Modules), and read up through section 7.3 (Paths for Referring to an item in the Module Tree). This time we will start at section 7.4 (Bringing Paths Into Scope with the use Keyword).

Previous session details and recording can be found in the following lemmy post: https://jlai.lu/post/8006138

Why?

This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability.

(also, obviously, to follow up on the previous session)

When ?

Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+2 (aka 6pm Central European Time) on Monday (2023-07-01). If you were present for a previous session, then basically the same time-of-day and day-of-week as that one was.

EDIT: here's the recording: https://youtu.be/RI4D62MVvCA

Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions but would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!). Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference.

How ?

The basic format is: I will be sharing my computer screen and voice through an internet live stream (hosted at https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader for now). The stream will be locally recorded, and uploaded afterwards to youtube (for now as well).

I will have on-screen:

  • the BU online version of The Book
  • a terminal session with the necessary tooling installed (notably rustup, cargo, and clippy)
  • some form of visual aid (currently a digital whiteboard using www.excalidraw.com)
  • the live stream's chat

I will steadily progress through the book, both reading aloud the literal text and commenting occasionally on it. I will also perform any code writing and/or terminal commands as the text instructs us to.

People who either tune in to the live stream or watch/listen to the recording are encouraged to follow along with their own copy of the book.

I try to address any comments from live viewers in the twitch chat as soon as I am aware of them. If someone is having trouble understanding something, I will stop and try to help them get past it.

Who ?

You! (if you're interested). And, of course, me.

Hi! I've created a CLI tool for downloading Rust web books (like The Rust Programming Language) as EPUB, so that you can easily read them on your e-book reader. The tool is heavily based on this gist and a lot of proompting.

Check it out here: https://github.com/mawkler/rust-book-to-epub

 

What?

I will be holding the thirteenth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Last time we started chapter 6 (enums & pattern matching). We read through 6.1 and learned how to define enum variants in tuple or struct form. We also learned about the Option<T> enum that Rust provides us with. This time we'll begin section 6.2 and learn about the match control flow construct.

Stable internet connection re-acquired! To avoid waiting another full week, I'll be hosting the session today (approximately 6-7 hours after this post is created).

What?

I will be holding the eleventh of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Last time, the book guided us through An Example Program Using Structs (section 2 of chapter 5). Today we'll be tackling the following section, "The Method Syntax" (5.3).

Comme l'indique le titre, je recherche une BD francophone dont la trame principale est l'invasion d'une ville par une plante qui pousse à une vitesse foudroyante. Il y a des fortes chances que la ville soit Paris, mais il se peut que ça soit une autre ville.

Autres détails dont je me souviens:

  • la plante en question ressemble surtout à des vignes ou lianes vertes (pas d'ecorce, pas de brun)
  • vers la fin on apprend que c'est une botaniste qui est à l'origine de la plante :
    • grosso merdo elle explique que la plante crèvera toute seule au bout de 2-3 jours en se désintégrant,
    • que les baies de cette plante sont comestibles par les éventuelles personnes coincées par les lianes,
    • et que le tout est censé être un acte radical de sensibilisation écologique infligé de force au reste du monde en mode "rappelez-vous que c'est la nature qui domine, pas l'Homme"

Ce dont je suis à moitié certain :

  • cette botaniste est la mère du protagoniste, un jeune garçon ado
  • la BD est parue dans les numéros d'une revue de jeunesse dans les années 200X/201X - type astrapi, okapi, j'ai lu, ou peut-être encore sciences et vie junior

Je l'ai lue en tant que gamin à sa sortie, et ça m'avait bien marqué. Il n'y a que récemment que je me suis rendu compte que c'était une belle pièce de propagande écoterroriste!

Du coup j'aimerai essayer de la relire, en l'analysant explicitement en tant que tel 😈

 

Sorry y'all, I don't have access to a decent internet connection for the time being.

Open Source for Climate Podcast (ossforclimate.sustainoss.org)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Jayjader@jlai.lu to c/permacomputing
 

Seems relevant to this community (albeit I haven't listened to the podcast yet).

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/15928804

We are excited to announce the launch of a new podcast showcasing the transformative power of “Open Source for Climate” and the people and stories behind it. The open source movement is the key to bringing trusted knowledge, technology and collective action.

Post-listen edit: a bit short and underwhelming. Then again, it seems to be more of an intro/announcement than a first "proper" episode. Hopefully the next one will be more fleshed out.
