It is no secret that our DND likes the F35 a lot more for its capabilities…

But do we want to tie our air force to another American digital subscription?

Whether they agree or not, every Lemmy user needs to read and consider this.

For debugging there is the Google antigravity method: there can’t be bugs if it wipes the whole drive containing your project (taps head)

I did see someone write a post about Chat Oriented Programming, to me that appeared successful, but not without cost and extra care. Original Link, Discussion Thread

Successful in that it wrote code faster and its output stuck to conventions better than the author would. But they had to watch it like a hawk and with the discipline of a senior developer putting full attention over a junior, stop and swear at it every time it ignored the rules that they give at the beginning of each session, terminate the session when it starts doing a autocompactification routine that wastes your money and makes Claude forget everything. And you try to dump what it has completed each time. One of the costs seem to be the sanity of the developer, so I really question if it’s a sustainable way of doing things from both the model side and from developers. To be actually successful you need to know what you’re doing otherwise it’s easy to fall in a trap like the CTO, trusting the AI’s assertions that everything is hunky-dory.

He says irruptions tend to happen in years when lemmings — an important food for snowy owls — are abundant in the Arctic.

We did it Lemmy (/s)

I watched it yesterday and only a couple things I have to add.

First is that the bipartisan CHIPS act basically shovelled taxpayer money into Micron’s pockets to increase their manufacturing, but they are reducing their consumer output anyway, so Steve’s point is consumers are not getting anything out of the subsidy they made.

Second is, since any potential increase in production is to cater to their largest data centre customers only, Steve is suggesting that this could be part of a push to move people to subscription-based cloud computing by making personal computing tha you buy and own unaffordable.

Reddit was like this in 2009, here’s a random thread from there to illustrate, 35 score, no comment votes. The years prior Reddit was even quieter despite having only one community they had to post to, before subreddits were a thing.

Give it time, promote it on Reddit if you want to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com, tell your friends. As far as I know we are growing slowly, it will only blast up if Reddit does something extra henious again. Though the knee-high barrier of choosing a server and learning the etiquette will take a little time.

I think it’s okay as is, it doesn’t have to be more popular, but if it does become more popular then I don’t mind that either.

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

FACT-CHECKING IS CENSORSHIP

He didn’t even negotiate this with the BC premier on this, so I don’t expect this to go anywhere.

The Trump crypto value has nothing to do with any economic outlook. It’s the bribe gratuity funnel for the Trump family.

I wonder if the party is splitting into two, to be named BC Owning The Liberals and BC Disunited?

This is one area of many where I think Manitoba’s Kinew led provincial NDP shines, his inclusion of the rights of French language Manitobans along with the rights of Indigenous.

The language itself I think is not a big deal, Carney fumbled through French 101 again in a matter of months to become Prime Minister. But I do think if the NDP wants to make inroads with Québec’s Bloc and Liberal voters they need to be more in touch with Québec culture.

I think the federal NDP still has more work to do in self-reflection. I hope they make use of this opportunity. Even if you don’t like BC’s NDP, hopefully you can appreciate that Eby is listening to genuine internal criticism from unions and labour activists, BCFN and environmental supporters within his party during the review.

That whole BC ostrich debacle really highlights how much of a frenzy people get up over it. CFIA would need to have a media budget of millions if they’d want to handle interviews like that.

That’s IMO a big part of what’s different between the 7 transition and this one. Last time Microsoft was going around upgrading people’s computers for them, and even if people didn’t want to jump to 10 right away, they allowed Win 7, 8, and 8.1 keys to activate it pretty much whenever. Now with their hardware requirement, they’re official line is telling people without TPM that their hardware is junk when they stop supporting Win 10. That drove people to look for the better alternative Microsoft won’t tell you about.

I will start by saying I’m no expert in Indigenous affairs or law, but I know it’s especially messy in BC due to the multitude of co-habitating tribes that have lived in the area before, during and after the colonial period.

I get the sense the author is using the findings and jumping to worst case scenario conclusions. Landholders automatically lose all rights and owners interest because Crown title is subordinate and defective, gg no re (despite citing a settled/negotiated case where Crown land was given over and fee-simple landowners retained their interest). And BC’s legal losses come out of Canada’s budget so our tax money goes to First Nations, and so therefore you’re supposed to get angry about it according to the author.

But I don’t think most reasonable people in Canada nor the Indigenous see it as the necessary conclusion. Things are in limbo because there’s still a lot to be worked out and negotiated.

Something that is on my mind for this case, is that the Cowichan are not the only First Nation claiming historic ownership/usage rights over that area (the Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen of White Rock and Delta or the Musqueam of Vancouver as a few examples). If that area of Richmond is awarded by BC/Canada’s courts exclusively to the Cowichan, then other First Nations have their rights and claims effectively abridged as well. Perhaps the author thinks that is irrelevant since all those will be worked out however will fully supersede the current resident rights. I’d disagree, ultimately I expect a conclusion that not everyone is happy about, but at least everyone’s modern and historical injuries are considered and recompensed at least partially. I think most Canadians recognize that as a nation we did generational harm to the Indigenous people whose historic lands we live on, but the exact way to recognize, repay and move forward is still far from decided. The author is, in my opinion, getting ahead of themselves assuming the conclusions.

I went in January, cold but nothing I’m unaccustomed to as a Canadian.

Clam chowder was decent at least what I tried. Public transit was usable. People were nice there in your typical American sense, but NYC shops had more heart for strangers and visitors comparatively. But I was only able to really scratch the surface from my day trip there.

A thin silver lining is that Canada’s siphoning some of the hyperinflated budget that is meant for a whole fascist concentration camp regime. Now if only we could get the horn to play “chinga la migra” occasionally when pressed…

Precisely my thoughts. His record on climate is already out the window but the trust is his to earn back. He re-affirmed the commitment to Elizabeth May, so Canadians expect him to keep his promises. He should know enough about money, the history of Keystone XL, Northern Gateway, and TMX that oil projects are on a dead-end course. This pipeline talk is to keep Alberta’s government from playing the blame game on them. The UCP’s jig could be up within the next year.

Bazzite is a great distro if you want to jump in and start playing games and getting the software you need to use your computer. The intent behind bazzite seemed to me that it should be accessible enough for non-technical users but provide access to a large library of programs in just a few clicks. It has a few quirks that make it different than other Linux distros if you pick it apart.

Have you ever used command prompt, batch scripts or PowerShell on Windows? That’s what BASH, shell scripting or ‘the terminal’ is equivalent to on Linux (and mac sorta). It’s the virtual scalpel you can use to tinker, fix, control, or totally screw up your system. If you don’t have important data to lose, then feel free to just try whatever and learn from mistakes you make along the way. If not, then backups are your friend, and be EXTRA careful doing anything as the root user (that’s the admin account with total access over the operating system) or any command like sudo (it might even lecture you about it once)

For self-hosting, if you have a spare machine you can just try experimenting on it to your heart’s content. If your search-engine skills are good enough then you should be able to fumble your way through install instructions or tutorials. Another alternative is you could rent a VPS and optional domain for <$90/year, which then you can learn about SSH (secure shell) and fiddle with a computer remotely for fun.

People here can probably give you advice or support, if there’s a specific problem you’re having and you’ve couldn’t figure it out from the documentation and search.

“This is not fair,” Eby said. “Absolute power to control the lives of British Columbians should not be in the hands of people none of them voted for. It should be in the hands of people fewer than half of them voted for but who nevertheless have all the power because that’s how first-past-the-post elections work. It’s called democracy. Kind of.”

Political comedy gold.
