I don’t think that is a very helpful talking point either. Replacing workers with machines has been a thing for centuries and isn’t by itself a bad thing.

Using unverified AI for anything actually business critical is a very bad management decision though and any company that does that deserves the consequences. Using AI as replacement for eg. stock photos or video CGI? That is not a bad idea at all.

I usually code in an IDE that tells me whether my code will compile while I am typing it.

But when I write things like PL/SQL, yeah it is definitely an achievement to get it to compile.

Petition to make VPN officially an acronym for “very probably no/not/nobody/nothing”.

Also, “programmer” humor? 🙄

OpenOffice does not print on Tuesdays

The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be

apparently we are now supposed to think that that is a good thing, huh

This is probably supposed to be a link to this: https://torrentfreak.com/nvidia-contacted-annas-archive-to-secure-access-to-millions-of-pirated-books/

There are a few communities where that link was posted correctly: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/53133358

This is from 2021, why post this now…?

At least that way we’ll be able to tell when things are AI-generated.

of course, most of school was bullshit long before AI, so what

I remember reading that the first two don’t allow free discussion about Zionism (one bans a lot of anti-Zionist speech, the other has an explicit rule against all Zionism), so I avoid posting there; I think communities that aren’t specifically ideological should allow a wide range of free speech. The third one is AFAICT better, so are [email protected] and [email protected].

There is also [email protected] for things that have to do with the European Union, which is somewhat different from the continent of Europe. The community this thread is about isn’t explicit whether it is about Europe or the EU.

I subscribed to the new community this thread is about; but then again, your comment does kinda make me think that there are already communities like [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] which should cover a lot of the topics that may be discussed there. Let’s see whether anything unique ends up actually talked about there. :P

That’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.

Are there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?

something something two things are infinite something something universe and human stupidity something something not sure about universe

How can a function like this exist without parameters for N and T?

Agreed. This is a potential problem, but not an unsolvable one.

I’ve recently said this in another thread, and I’ll repeat it here: this problem would easily be solved by changing content liability laws (e.g. section 230 in the US) so that anything recommended by an algorithm counts as speech by the platform and the platform is liable for it if it turns out to be illegal (e.g. libellous).

That would mean that you could operate a forum or wiki or Lemmy or Mastodon instance without worrying about liability, but Facebook, YouTube, TikTok would have to get rid of the feature where they put “things that might interest you” that you didn’t actually choose to follow into your feed.

None of that has anything to do with anyone’s age.

If headlines were honest: France seeks to prohibit early teenagers from social interaction with peers unless they are good at doing it offline.

If I hadn’t had the Internet in the years before my 15th birthday, this would in my retrospective opinion have amounted to near torture.

Can we finally get politicians who grew up with the Internet into power? How many more years must people the age of Macron be allowed to make these kinds of decisions? 😟😡

“Steiner” is of course someone’s surname (a very common surname in German-speaking countries), not the German word for “stoner”, although they are certainly cognates
