I wonder what the industry standard is for developers?

The Stack Overflow developer survey (which has it’s bias towards people who use Stack Overflow)… says 47% use Windows, 32% use Mac, and uh, Linux is split up by distro so it’s hard to make sense of the numbers but Ubuntu alone is at 27%. (each developer can use multiple platforms so they don’t add up to 100%)

The Mac mini draws 5 W when on, and 0.5W when sleeping

Also why you need to schedule periodical parity scrubs, then the “extra load of a rebuild” is exercised regularly so weak drives will be found long before a rebuild is needed.

There were rules against using AI, they’re just arguing that they weren’t in the “Student Handbook”.

If you click through to the legal filing linked in the article, they lay out that they informed the students of the rule during a lecture, they have a record of his attendance at that lecture, and parents also got handouts during a parent teacher day.

edit: quote

During the first week of class, RNH and his classmates were given a copy of HHS’ written policy on Academic Dishonesty and AI expectations.4 The students are clearly informed that this policy applies to all classes, not simply ELA classes. The policy was distributed in RNH’s class on the same day a PowerPoint presentation entitled “AI & Schoolwork” was presented to RNH’s class.5 This is the PowerPoint presentation referenced in paragraph 129 of the Verified Compliant.

Attendance records show that RNH attended the class at which the policy was distributed and the PowerPoint presentation was shown. Furthermore, the written policy was also posted on Google Classroom, on online portal containing policies which is accessible to HHS’ students. It was also distributed at Parent’s Night which was held in September 2023. If RNH’s parents were present at Parent’s Night, a copy would have been provided to them.6

If you click through to the court document the most detail it goes into is

During the meeting, RNH recounted that he used an AI tool to generate ideas and shared that he also created portions of his notes and scripts using the AI tool. RNH discussed using Grammarly, and indicated that he pasted sections from Grammarly into the Google document.

RNH unequivocally used another author’s language and thoughts, be it a digital and artificial author, without express permission to do so. Furthermore, he did not cite to his use of AI in his notes, scripts or in the project he submitted.

If you click through to the motion to dismiss, it details the AI policy that says if you do use AI just to get ideas, you have to include transcripts of your AI chat to prove that you aren’t plagiarizing it.

I’ve been using Kagi for about a month now and it’s been working well for me

Like, if that worked, wouldn’t every company just sell itself to a new shell company once a year and drop every kind of legal liability?

White guy in Japan. A lot of people will assume I don’t speak any Japanese (=am a tourist). I’ve had it many times where after a transaction at a shop, the staff literally tells me “I’m so glad you spoke Japanese, I was so afraid when you walked up since I can’t speak English”

The main cause of bitrot in older disks is the organic dyes fading (aside from REALLY cheap disks where delamination was a problem), whereas M-Disc uses an inorganic carbon material

iPhones don’t come with those expensive high-bandwidth cables, they come with charging cables that only do USB 2.0

On a warship? They’d have still seen it.

It took 6 months to discover, and even then it was by techs who went to physically install different hardware saw the dish hardware mounted to the ship. That’s the real WTF here, how do these ships not have some kind of passive RF scanning/rogue AP detection??

It was seen by regular enlisted people who saw the network on their phones and left comment sheets asking WTF it was, but the person in question snatched up the papers before they got to the officers. If they had hidden the SSID, nobody would have seen it because nobody scans for hidden SSIDs on their phones.

How can Spez be so clueless

The gatekeeper legislation sets minimums for revenue before you’re counted as a gatekeeper, and all the game consoles are too small a market to count.

I’m a millennial but I grew up with Macs which mostly just worked, I don’t remember having to do much troubleshooting as a kid.

But for me it was more that there was nothing else to do. You got bored, and messed around with and explored the computer, figuring out what you could make it do. Even once we got internet, it was dialup, so you got online for a bit, checked some things, downloaded some shareware, then disconnected and were stuck with whatever was on the computer again to mess with.

These days the kids have a never-ending social media feed, they have no reason to ever be bored again.

Where I went to school, originally the dorms were on the university network but a year in they offloaded us onto regular, commercial ISPs. The change was great for us since the university network was very strict on stuff like torrents (using DPI any torrent, even legal, got you disconnected for 24h)

The logic was just that when UNIX was originally evolving, they ran out of disk space on their PDP-11 and had to start moving less-essential binaries to a different disk. That’s why it’s “/usr/” which was originally for user data but that disk happened to have free space.

Any other explanation is just retcon. Some distros try to simplify things.
