I am definitely not surprised at this one bit. As someone who has been programming for decades, there are just parts of the job that require you to think and isn't just copy and pasting existing code. That is where this technology is going to fail to meet the hype.

That's all you have got? I can't find his age, but based on his military career I am guessing he is Gen X and not a boomer. Besides, the age of someone using tools like this is kind of irrelevant in this case. It's his rank and power, and the fact that he is probably typing in information that is not cleared, into a system that is basically recording everything he asks or discusses with it. Add to that the fact that he is actually listening to the ramblings of a program he has no idea what the program is using to formulate its decision and it is even more scary. This has serious implications way beyond "boomer bad....". It means that if the owners/programmers of chatgpt can effectively recognize when someone in a position of power is using their tool, they could manipulate the responses to their benefit, or they could just screw with things. Either way it's a dangerous situation, especially when the people involved have control of military forces.

let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI

If their ai is so good, why can't it rewrite itself?

Hell yeah! And who downvoted his/her treat to themselves? A real turd in the punchbowl eh.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Wow!!!!!

Just as a general rule, I would start checking log files. You can start by searching /var/log for files that have been modified in the last few mins with something like "sudo find /var/log -mmin -10 -ls 2>/dev/null". That will get you all log files in /var/log changed within the last 10 mins. Then you can tail those or grep them looking for clues. I have done searches of the entire file system looking for log files that were recently modified to find clues. It might also help to send the output to a file so you can view that and scroll up and down rather than just trying to read the output of the find, tail or grep commands. Put a "1>/{path}/filenameyouwanttouse.out" at the end of the command or you can pipe it to the tee command and it will show on the screen and write to the file you specify.

Most auto parts stores have a really nice selection of tools that they will loan out to anyone.

Remember kids, what you type in most likely can and will be used against you in a court of law (if needed), or if you ever decide to run for an office in the future I sure someone will dig it up. Have no expectations of privacy.

My Dad wanted to move his printer to another location, and it doesn't have wifi. I set up a pi zero w as a cups server which the printer is hooked to. He can now remotely print to it from anywhere on his network.

They didn't even use it correctly. If they are using the F in for, then they left off the T from through and the A in and. SAFETROADRS.

I will miss you too. (heart)

There are codes and standards for traffic signs and markings. You are implying that he made something up to fit his narrative, which he did not.

Side note, this is really starting to wean me off of Lemmy, and was the reason I left reddit. People need to stop and think for a minute before just blindly arguing. Go outside, get some sunlight, watch some clouds move across the sky, touch some grass, and calm the fuck down everyone.

I just checked and I have Compatibility set to Proton 8.0-5. Try that and see if that makes it work for you.

Don't see why you wouldn't be just fine. I am playing Dune Awakening right now on my Linux machine. There's the proton db website to help if you run into issues, but I haven't had any so far. If I have a problem with a game, I usually force it to an older version of proton, or just fiddle with the versions and that usually fixes things.

Drives are cheap. Get a new drive, pull out the windows drive and put in the new blank drive and install linux and give it all a try. I just bought a new gaming laptop and the first thing I did before powering it up was swap out the nvme drive to a larger empty one and installed PopOs to match my desktop machine.

FTA: "According to TxDOT, the SAFE ROADS (Safe Arterials for Everyone through Reliable Operations and Distraction-Reducing Strategies) initiative"

Holy fuck with the acronyms!

Yeah, my point was that the world has mostly always been controlled by the rich disgusting criminals and people who are just now realizing this need to be aware of that. It's comparable in my opinion to people posting on youtube videos something like "this Elvis fellow was criminally underrated." Just because something is new to you doesn't mean it's new to everyone.

Back on topic, I firmly believe that social media is causing a lot of these mental health issues. People seem to believe that they are the main character for one, and they have an unhealthy obsession with trying to keep up with other people, while ignoring the fact that what people put online is highly edited and parsed. That's just my theory as an observer from outside. I have no social media accounts other than this one, and if this all was powered off tomorrow I wouldn't care.

maybe partially because people are realising the world is controlled by rich disgusting criminals.

Maybe people need to read some history books.

Fuck ancestry! When they started charging people to access the very data that they 'allowed' them to enter free, they lost all credibility in my eyes.

Great reply. As far as the term, I am just a little salty with media and how they really ran with the term 'drone' when they were talking about quadcopters. They did this in the name of stirring up controversy with the general public and inducing a manufactured fright. Modern media's manipulation of language to their advantage is another topic...
