So I’m right on the border of age that should get supposedly get a booster. Born in 1970. Would it be safe to get one now, just in case, even if I probably was just young enough to get them that year?
All the info I’ve read says that somehow everyone 1970 and later is fully vaccinated… but I don’t remember. What if I just missed getting the full round as a child?
Look up the “buy, borrow, die” strategy (spoiler: it’s only possible for those who are already rich, go figure).
I’m 50/50 on whether that name is awesome, or a big ‘Oof’ marketing-wise ;-)
Just using “LLM” is also a bit over-specific, however, as it’d exclude text-to-image models, and others.
Fair point. I haven’t heard of an equivalent to LLM for, as per your example, text-to-image models. Hmm.
I feel this – we had a junior dev on our project who started using AI for coding, without management approval BTW (it was a small company and we didn’t yet have a policy specifically for it. Alas.)
I got the fun task, months later, of going through an entire component that I’m almost certain was ‘vibe coded’ – it “worked” the first time the main APIs were called, but leaked and crashed on subsequent calls. It used double- and even triple-pointers to data structures, which the API vendor’s documentation upon some casual reading indicated could all be declared statically and re-used (this was an embedded system); needless arguments; mallocs and frees everywhere for no good reason (again due to all of the un-needed dynamic storage involving said double/triple pointers to stuff). It was a horrible mess.
It should have never gotten through code review, but the senior devs were themselves overloaded with work (another, separate problem) …
I took two days and cleaned it all up, much simpler, no mem leaks, and could actually be, you know, used more than once.
Fucking mess, and LLMs (don’t call it “AI”) just allow those who are lazy and/or inexperienced to skate through short-term tasks, leaving huge technical debt for those that have to clean up after.
If you’re doing job interviews, ensure the interviewee is not connected to LLMs in any way and make them do the code themselves. No exceptions. Consider blocking LLMs from your corp network as well and ban locally-installed things like Ollama.
Please everyone, consider calling “AI” something more accurate – they’re not intelligent, though definitely ‘artificial’ as in man-made. I personally like the terms “stochastic parrot” or even just “LLM”.
Fuck AI. This company and whomever created such videos should be charged with hate crimes and fraud. So tired of this bullshit ruining society and the internet.
PRAISE “BOB”!!
Terrifying
Edit: Beware the Goopacapra!
Yes, and they used the name first, not google. Arseholes.
It’s Tuesday, did you bring your raincoat?
No, no – I think the author’s project supports the gemini hypertext protocol, not google’s “AI” monstrosity.
Once again, a rich megacorp chose a name ignoring the fact it was already taken.
Leave the US, now, if you can. Otherwise, find someone outside to publish your code I guess.
What a nightmare.
if jobs had living wages
But but billionaires would be slightly less obscenely rich then, oh no!
So whats the selling point of this vs. just Devuan itself?
They shouldn’t cluster so closely together, it’s a risk. Not that I’m suggesting anything.
I have trouble being too angry at this, since millionaires and billionaires sit on multiple corporate boards at the same time, and no one seems to complain about that.
Thank you.
If you’ve ensured your home network’s firewall is sane first, there’s no big issue.
If you dual-boot to Windows occasionally to run that one stupid program that can’t run under Linux, and you aren’t downloading stuff willy-nilly from the wild internet, and you haven’t previously installed all sorts of dodgy call-home programs, you can still be safe running while you’re in Windows. Hell, I have a Windows 7 box that runs just fine from my home network to the internet, thankyouverymuch. I even download stuff from there gasp, but I check the files first! Imagine that.
Most people aren’t knowledgeable enough to maintain proper security however so I guess I should just stop commenting on posts like this, as I always get flak from people stating it’s impossible to run an OS more than 2 weeks old on the Internet without being instantly hacked :p.
But still… as others say, I totally agree – move to Linux if you can.
Just block W11 updates entirely.

It’s mostly bullshit that one absolutely needs the latest Windows updates; if you use uBlock Origin in your browser and don’t download/run random .EXE/.MSI shit from the internet you’ll be fine. Keep Windows Defender up to date once a month just in case as well.
But really the best option is to switch to Linux.
Thanks, good idea. I will go tomorrow if I can to ask about an antibody test. (Yes I’m in Canada)
