I was surprised the prices aren’t even that much higher than single actuator drives of the same size. I might be picking a few of these up for my next capacity increase.

Yep the hack is at the boot loader level, before the OS, so the OS version doesn’t matter. It was only patchable in hardware which is what they did with the second revision. If you have a launch Switch you’re golden.

I’m glad they shut it down. An inaccurate tool is worse than no tool, especially if teachers are using it to check student essays and punishing students for false positives…

Even just more generally, people were trusting these detection tools not realizing how inaccurate they were, which causes huge problems both due to false positives and false negatives. Better to remove the useless tools now and work on a better solution, if one is even possible which I’m not sure it is.

No worries! I thought maybe RHEL had like their own NPM repo or something (I think NixOS has python packages, so that kind of thing isn’t unheard of), but then that didn’t really make sense so I wanted to make sure I was understanding.

Yeah the ssh-agent was something I didn’t know I wanted until they added it. Now it’s so nice not having to generate new ssh keys and update all my severs and VMs every time I set up a new machine, and if/when I need to rotate keys, I only have to update one.

What does RHEL have to do about NPM package dependencies in software projects? A server or a developer’s desktop machine using RHEL would still be pulling the same packages from NPM as another other distro…unless I’m missing something?

I’m honestly amazed that the no emoji culture on Reddit persisted even after it became super mainstream. But agreed, I actually like emoji for adding emotion/intent indicators to text. I use them all the time in personal conversations and work Slack, but never ever on Reddit for whatever reason haha.

Dude same. Normal autocomplete is short and has a low mental overhead but high payoff in time saving from tying. I lasted about 20 min testing copilot before canceling my trial. It slowed me down so much because as you said it generates such large snippets and you have to scan each one to see if it’s useful. Also the constantly flickering of big code blocks changing was super distracting.

I’ve used GPT4 directly for code stuff before and it’s been useful for certain use cases but I find Copilot to be worse than useless in that it not only didn’t really help me it slowed me down and distracted me so much it was a detriment to my coding process.

Maybe Copilot X will change that since it’s basically embedded GPT4 I think, but regular Copilot? Totally worthless IMO

How do you feel about the self driving car use-case? Say for example a self driving car has a 0.5% risk of an accident, and thus human harm, in it’s usage lifetime, but a human driver has a 5% risk of an accident (making numbers up for the sake of argument but let’s say the self driving car has a 0.1% chance of harm or greater but it’s still much lower than a human). Would you still be against the tech and ven though if we disallowed it there would statistically be more harm caused?
