This really got me, thank you!

I’ve not built anything beyond simple scripts in rust but I’m looking at some of the cosmic codebase to see what I can do.
That works until all* games come with root level anti cheat. It was the same with micro transactions which people still defend despite being utter shit.
Helldivers 2 does the same thing. If this continues it will be extremely advisable to move any non-gaming use-cases to a different computer as you have no idea what the “anti-cheat” is doing with that level of authority over your computer.
Kind of surprised this is getting so much criticism. It’s a thought experiment, not a call for a fundamental change to all PC UX. My only real argument against the idea is that it’s framed as being “for efficiency”. If you want efficiency above all else you would just go full command line.
I think there’s a bit of “whoosh” happening…
How’s the battery life? I was considering one recently but saw some claim that the battery would only last 4-6 hours and that put me off.
Literally just bought what I believe to be last generation’s X13 on ebay for half the price of the new one. It’s been great so far, especially with the power efficiency of Ryzen CPUs. My one complaint is the soldered RAM, which judging by the new lineup is getting phased out, thankfully.
My specific point here was about how this friend doesn’t trust the results AND still goes to Google/others to verify, so he’s effectively doubled his workload for every search.
I’ve had this argument with friends a lot recently.
Them: it’s so cool that I can just ask chatgpt to summarise something and I can get a concise answer rather than googling a lot for the same thing.
Me: But it gets things wrong all the time.
Them: Oh I know so I Google it anyway.
Doesn’t make sense to me.
I’ve been programming for too long, my brain just autocorrected the typo so initially didn’t get the joke…
I’m in a team of 4 developers and we demand automated testing. Ok that’s part of a slightly bigger development team but even our QC team have automated tests that they run for integration testing.
Yeah then you start debating the merits of hate crime as a concept and I am not even slightly equipped to deal with that!
I had similar queries around “biological sex” vs gender a while ago and my understanding now is that biological sex is surprisingly hard to define. You can’t go by genitalia because sometimes a person creates the “wrong” ones. You can’t go by chromosomes because again, sometimes they’re different. And you can’t go by other physical traits (Adams apple for example) because again sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not, completely unrelated to sex. You can sort of go by hormones but not really (just look at professional sport) so it’s all a bit of a mess. It’s way easier for me to just accept there’s a spectrum and move on, because to me it’s way harder to actually define where the line is than to just dismiss the line entirely.
Without the context of your understanding of the debate as you’ve outlined here we can only guess what you meant by “the debate” in your previous comment so thanks for taking the time to describe it. I absolutely agree that there needs be great care around the legitimacy of when someone declaring their gender should be taken seriously or not in some limited and extreme circumstances (prisons spring to mind). I think your characterisation of the terf argument if you speak to normal people is about accurate from my limited experience. The media and some outspoken terfs like JK are on the more extreme side of that where they say that it is already “too easy” to legitimately change their gender. Which is where I fundamentally disagree with them since I know the hoops some of my friends have had to jump through to even get the smallest amount of help from health providers.
(I’m using “legitimate” above as a sort of catch all for legal or what the person genuinely feels. I don’t think legal and legitimate are the same thing in this context, hence the distinction.)
In the nicest possible way, what do you mean by “both sides” in this context? One side says that trans people either don’t or shouldn’t exist and the other side says they should exist. I know that may sound extreme or combative but that’s fundamentally “the debate” so I genuinely want to understand how you reached this “both sides have merit” stance that some people close to me also take but I’ve never understood.
You do you. People generally discourage rebase because it rewrites history but that’s what you’re doing anyway. You can achieve the same result with revase --interactive and following the instructions to squash all your in progress commits into a single commit. That way you don’t have to figure out how many commits between your in progress and dev(for your reset command) as the rebase will handle it for you.
Again, this existed before AI. Typo squatting, supply chain attacks, automated package uploads, CI pipeline infection, they’re all known attack vectors. That’s not to say this isn’t a concern, just that it’s a known risk and the addition of “AI” doesn’t, to my eyes, increase that risk. If your SSH keys don’t require a password, you have taken the decision to make those keys less secure but more convenient to use. That’s pretty much always the tradeoff in security.
The risk here is slightly overblown or misrepresented. Just because a fork exists doesn’t mean that anyone has even read it, let alone run it on their system. For this to be a real threat they would have to publish packages with identical or similar names (ie typo-squatting) to public package repositories which this article didn’t have any information on but which is a known problem long before AI. The level of obfuscation and number of repos affected is impressive but ultimately unlikely to have widespread impact to anyone besides GitHub.
Either works
I believe it’s 1% for access to the “entire post-open ecosystem”, rather than 1% per project which would be unreasonable. So you could use one or thousands of projects under the Post-open banner, but still pay 1%.
It will take years to develop the post-open ecosystem to be something worth spending that much on.
