I was/am. ChatGPT wasn’t. But that’s the joke. It is ironic to post an LLM generated answer to a post explaining that LLM generated answers are stupid.

This is such a bizarre take on AI.
If I ask you a question, I want a useful answer. I don’t care whether you got there by remembering it, Googling it, reading documentation, asking a colleague, or asking an LLM.
Obviously, blindly pasting 2,000 words of irrelevant AI slop is annoying. But that’s a problem with bad answers, not with AI.
The particularly stupid part is suggesting that you should take a perfectly good AI-generated answer and rewrite it in your own words. What exactly has been achieved then? The information is identical, except somebody wasted five minutes manually paraphrasing it so the recipient can feel sufficiently exposed to human keystrokes.
Use AI. Give it the relevant context. Verify important claims. Remove irrelevant garbage. Send the useful answer.
Judge communication by its accuracy, relevance and usefulness—not by how inefficiently somebody produced it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows 11 than on native Linux PCs, says Canonicalbyantianarchist@sopuli.xyzEnglish
4 daysThat just means only idiots install Ubuntu.
Or that it is just the default for WSL.

6 daysYep, which is why I edited my comment 10 minutes ago.

6 daysI should definitely sleep. I totally read something different and I don’t know why. Now I can see that it is about trans-men being forced to use the woman’s bathroom. That’s stupid.
Sorry for my confusing comment. Will edit it.

6 daysAgain. If you call yourself a transwoman and clearly have a full beard, I understand that the public gets upset.

6 daysI have issues with the term “transgender”, if you clearly look like male as a biological male, and just for the sake call yourself woman to enter a woman’s bathroom.This looks like it was just a stunt to annoy people and unfortunately, actions like these, will lower the tolerance of the general public towards transgenders.Edit: Sleep deprived me read something totally different. Never mind.

6 daysThe amount matters. Sodium percarbonate is much safer to use compared to sodium hypochlorite. And again, the sodium percarbonate does much more than just bleaching.

6 daysBleach is not the name of a chemical, but a group of chemicals with a specific property. In this case, the oxidizer (usually hydrogen peroxide or sodium percarbonate) is also acting as bleach. The same goes for chlorine.
Don’t use clorine in a washing mashine. It will disinfect the machine, but it does not react the same way as hydrogen peroxide or sodium percarbonate. Additionally, chlorine might attack synthetic materials that are needed for the machine to work.
If you have a dish washer, put one of those tabs inside the washing mashine directly, then run it on max heat, full cycle. If you don’t have that, buy something with “Oxi” in the name. There should be a few cheap brands.

6 daysIf the water is not able to pump off, you wouldn’t be able to open the door. So water flows, meaning the pump is able to work. Don’t worry about the big objects, the pump itself is protected. Odor comes mostly from bacteria, which is killed by heat. Dead bacteria still smells, which is why you use a oxidizer or tensides to get rid of those.
The oxidizer is quite impressive at decomposing anything organic, including hair. So just go ahead and try it.

6 daysIgnore them. Anything that does not get dissolved will most likely not be an issue for your laundry.

6 daysFck, my bad, you are absolutely right. Fixed my comment.

6 daysEven if the traffic of the torrent protocol is peer-to-peer,
there have to be central nodes managing all that unfortunately. This is why DMCA notices are also successful with torrent providers.Without anyone providing that central node, no torrent works.One of the major weaknesses of bittorrent.
Edit: the solution is called DHT and I was a morron totally forgetting about that.
Jimmy Carr, whether you like him as comedian or not, is a tremendously wise person who regularly amazes me by his wisdom. This is a video where he basically addressed the current issue. And it gave me hope.
Do you have any experiences/learnings you want to share?
Depression can have many causes and as a parent, I believe it is important to be available for your kids. Mentally, physically, but also emotionally. Take them the way they are and show support. Lead by example. Teach them how the world works, let them be part of your thought processes and make decisions together. But besides that, what else can I do?
Depressions are shit. And that her brother died even way younger does not help. How fucking shit this must be for the parents.

7 daysHeat + oxidizer will clean the washing mashine. Let it run on max heat and put some oxidizing powder in there. Empty, obviously.
Afterwards, your machine is basically sterile and the odors should be gone.






It isn’t always about “new”. For example, some GNU binaries are decades old and were changed only to fix bugs.
C has major disadvantages compared to Rust, which is why even Linus Torvalds said a couple of years ago, to not write any new C code anymore for the Kernel and that old code will be transpiled steadily.
It is not about a cult. It is not about being fancy. It is quite the opposite. Choosing Rust over C is very rational.
Also, obligatory fuck Canonical. Automatic transpiling is such a stupid thing. Have fun maintaining the new code that was written by a machine, while not having any Rust experts in your team.
