Data is garbage until you define its structure and what it is supposed to represent, and there’s nothing stopping something from interpreting it as something else, we do it all the time in progranming as type casting. The same piece of data can be just a normal integer to one function, while it’s a text character to another.

11·6 days ago“Oh fuck. Copilot, revert that code change, it’s even more broken now.”
“Yes, you are completely correct, and I apologize for the mistake! Here is a patch to fix the broken code!”
Narrator: It did not fix the broken code.

Gonna say the same when your fucking back is against the wall next to all the other fucks just like you when all this is over? Society destroyed fascism once. We will fucking do it again.
We have to make these assholes start thinking carefully about their words. They need to be looking over their shoulder 24/7 now. I’m fucking done. Ban me for inciting violence, IDGAF. As far as I’m concerned, it’s self defense now.

Technology@beehaw.org•Restaurants say big chains pretend to be independents on apps
22·14 days agoThe restaurant equivalent of fly by night bootleg brand stores on Amazon, where you have ten different stores all selling the same product, sometimes a straight up copy, other times with a very slight variation.
Do not the filesystem/partition management while high. From personal experience.

11·17 days ago“Internal bleeding to the torso”
Without any more than that, I’m going to assume he just got a fucking bruise.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Cherishing all nuggets of knowledge.
29·17 days agoExactly the same concept as memory-mapped hardware I/O, or virtual file system drivers. Makes it so you don’t have to think too much about implementation details and uses a common interface that’s already there.

politics @lemmy.world•Musk’s AI tool Grok will be integrated into Pentagon networks, Hegseth says
3·18 days agoDon’t need to be able to think to cause mass devastation with a rogue AI. I present the paperclip problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence
And from my experience trying to use it for programming, I know it absolutely will try its best to reach an unbounded goal you set for it even if it means creating the most convoluted and unmaintainable spaghetti code you’ve ever seen, or even trying to find loopholes to suppress error messages without actually fixing the error.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How do we actually confront or evade "kirkification" and the flood of ai slop?
2·24 days agoYou are exactly right. It’s going to require more work. You are going to have to run your own network cables through your house and use commercial hardwired IP cameras and learn to program them and also set up a local DVR to record the footage. You’ll basically have to build what a retail store uses. You’re not going to find what you’re looking for in residential garbage tech. Stick to commerical equipment, because commerical IT is usually not too fond of installing crap that arbitrarily phones home and tend to run way more locked down networks than what you find in a typical home.

4·26 days agoIt treat it like the Marines do. You’re never a “former” astronaut once you earn the title. That’s an accomplishment that a fraction of a fraction of humans currently alive will ever achieve.

111·1 month agoThis is quite a useless argument because you can literally take it back hundreds of thousands of years to the invention of the wheel or controlled fire. Everything is built on something else.

14·1 month agoSome people enjoy just ordering a plate of raw ground beef, flour, yeast, and some cheese and constructing their own burger. The kind of people who’d love to completely design and build their own house with their own hands if they had the cash and time.
