Technology@lemmy.world•AI hallucination of Chinese nuclear components almost led to US military attackEnglish
7·2 months agoYeah the more these AI companies are making AI seem the scary boogeyman, the more probable it is some disaster is going to happen because people put too much stock into it. Like the school bombing.

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit will require you to log in to use old.reddit.comEnglish
4·5 months agoActually new reddit page source doesn’t load comments anymore. You need to execute JavaScript in the page for comments now. Old reddit still gives you a simple page with comments, so probably why they made it login only. You can’t legally scrape pages behind login because you agreed to their tos by logging in

Technology@lemmy.world•Ford hired AI and sacked humans. It backfired badlyEnglish
5·5 months agoYou can at least sack somebody if they mess something up really bad, but you can’t even do that with AI as they’re just glorified autocompletes, and you were just too stupid to understand that.

Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic and OpenAI waged a $27 million proxy war in a Manhattan congressional race. The winner told them both to get lost.English

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 yearsEnglish
2·5 months agoIt’s been running on caddy + duckdns for 5 years or more now. I use a non standard jellyfin port for the port forwarding, so that probably helps. Also, there’s probably an aspect of security by obscurity.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 yearsEnglish
1·5 months agoI set up a free dns from duckdns.org and pointed it to my jellyfin server. All my parents had to do was to use that https://randomserver.duckdns.org/ as the server url in the jellyfin app.

Technology@lemmy.world•GitHub just switched Copilot to metered billing, and developers are watching months of credits vanish in a single dayEnglish

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•This community isn't your personal adviserEnglish
1·5 months agoSure, that’s why Google made an exclusivity deal with wikipedia instead of reddit to train their ai for any organic user level reviews/discussions on anything.

Technology@lemmy.world•Cisco announces record revenue and 4,000 layoffs in the same dayEnglish
2·6 months agoThat’s an interesting question. Either there isn’t much tacit knowledge in the company that they can’t put in onboarding documentation, or the company is focusing on short term gains at the cost of long term stability



I’m not mad that he likes ai; I’m a lead engineer, and I use spec driven development a lot. The problem is that I have had a career beyond ai and can survive losing ai, where as a lot of young developers these days can’t. It’s like that line from the Spider-Man movie, “if you’re nothing without the suit, then you don’t deserve the suit”. He needs to talk about using ai as a tool without losing your skills and identity as a developer.
