I’ve had it with all these mkfs-ing windows on this mkfs-ing plane.

Technology@lemmy.world•Even Linus Torvalds is trying his hand at vibe coding (but just a little)
14·1 day agoThanks! You stopped me clinking the linked slop so i downvoted OP, but your comment made me look up the previous project and some of that made me feel slightly less bad about my own shitty ignorant failures with guitar effect circuits.
https://github.com/torvalds/GuitarPedal
If you actually know what you are doing, and you looked at the schematic and went “Linus is clearly way over his head, and that is just stupid”, whether it comes to parts choices or to just the circuit in general, please let me know.
In particular, don’t feel like it would be impolite to tell me I’m incompetent and doing stupid things. I absolutely know I’m not competent and would love to hear any criticism. Some of the best teaching moments have been when I haven’t understood something, and somebody piped up to tell me I should do Xyz.
I’m going to leave the link to the “Tremolo doubling as a metronome” issue from the 1590A pedal project, because that was a case of somebody (@gralco) coming in and very politely telling me I was doing stupid things.
Pushing me to do simulations in KiCad completely changed the game. So don’t be shy to tell me my circuits suck. Because that’s literally why I do this!

Technology@lemmy.world•UK police blame Microsoft Copilot for intelligence mistake
5·1 day agoLong before the term intelligence was sullied by the prefix “artificial” the phrase “police intelligence” has long been a euphemism for a suspicion that they cannot back up with any evidence that would stand up in court.
I think coprolite seems like a perfect fit for their methods. They just need to train it to start off with solid evidence and fuck it up until it doesn’t stand up in court. Then it’ll be employee of the week. A bit like computer driven cars, it might be shite but that doesn’t mean it is necessarily worse than the typical human cop.
The real problem is if it’s harder to hold it to account.

basic_task_list = ['copy and paste', 'install package', 'type', 'keyboard', 'read and write' ] for basic_task in basic_task_list: print(f""" Newbies can't {basic_task}. They never {basic_task} in windows. Windows has replaced {basic_task} with copilot, this is what linux needs to do to compete. How will linux ever hope to attract windows user if it still maintains this ancient hacker 1337xor tools like {basic_task}? Users just want to turn on computer and watch it do computance - how does linux not get this? """)
