Now I want a cool, refreshing Coca-cola. This post was the real ad all along.

I need this crossover.

The company I work for builds a product that uses AI extensively. The product would not be possible without AI, like the one main thing the product does is only possible because of AI. That said, AI use for coding is quite limited. We talk about it, some people do develop with AI, but there is no push for it. I feel like building a product on it has made developers acutely aware of just how flakey and unreliable AI is.

Justice is a luxury the poor can’t afford because the rich pay to evade.

You could probably install a handler for the event that’s triggered when the power button is pressed. Most OSes do that and pop up a graceful shutdown options window. Most hardware will have a hard shutdown option when you hold the power button for a few seconds. You would probably have to overwrite the BIOS or something at that level to prevent that way out.

The real life hack is having a crappy low powered microwave so you don’t even have to set it to half power.

Cool, thanks for the details.

Were these really in the oven at 450 for 50 minutes?!? I make a similar loaf and bake it at 450 for about 25 minutes closed, then just 5 minutes open. What is the pre-cook weight of each loaf? Mine are about 850g.

Absolute privacy? Not at all, the fact that I’m over 18 is personal information, you’ve all invaded my privacy a little bit by reading that. Absolute accuracy? Not at all, I have no idea how anyone would ever prove for sure someone’s age. Any potential solution is going to about compromise. The real question is: How well can we verify someone’s age well enough while preserving as much privacy as possible?

The best solution I’ve heard of, that hits a pretty good compromise, is giving the local device some indicator of the user’s age, and allow applications or websites to perform a limited resolution query of that value, along the lines of which of several age brackets does the user fall into. The birthday can optionally be provided when the device is configured; a parent can set up a device for their kid, setting whatever value they want for the kid’s age. A good implementation would make it quite difficult to extract or change that birthday value without admin rights, which the parents would keep.

If this sounds a lot like the laws in the news from California and Colorado, that’s because it is. I think that they’re stupid laws, but they describe reasonably good features for software. That law making effort should have been put towards banning the incredibly invasive and somehow also incredibly inaccurate use of AI image processing for age estimation.

He’s going to have to pay damages, reimbursing investors for the loss caused by his BS.

Because it is a class action case, it is not clear what amount in damages Musk will have to pay to thousands of shareholders, many of them institutional investors, but it is likely in the billions. The jury awarded shareholders between about $3 and $8 per stock per day.

Umm… I was born 1-Jan-1970 at 0:00 UTC.

They’re not even really covering their asses. They don’t make an OS, they make a small but important art of many distros. They’re providing a clean, standardized way for Linux distros from RedHat to Ageless to comply with the law if they choose to. Some distros will comply with the law to the letter, others will not comply out of spite. At least the ones that comply will do it in a standard way.

Yup. Putin couldn’t have planned it better himself.

Unless… no, it couldn’t be… but that would mean… oh shit.

On of the questions I ask when interviewing for a company is what kind of IT platform they work with. Windows is a big red flag.

Almost anything is better than lettuce on a BLT. In my house, the L stands for leaf. Often its arugala (aka rocket), sometimes a power green blend, honestly whatever I have. I’ll have to try cucumber though.

I’ve seen a few pictures like this before. The fun fact part is, this is could actually be pretty damn efficient if done well. Gas powered generators are designed to run efficiently and deliver power at a specific RPM. An gas car’s engine has to run and deliver power at a wide range of RPMs, so is generally not running at it’s most efficent speed.

I’ve got some bad news for you…

I agree that it’s a poorly written law, I mean it was written by politicians who don’t understand what an OS is. My main point is that something baked into the OS and browser is better for a handful of reasons than most of the other ‘solutions’ we’re seeing.
