If you were 100% specific you would be effectively writing the code yourself. But you don’t want that, so you’re not 100% specific, so it makes up the difference. The result will include an unspecified percentage of code that does not fit what you wanted.

It’s like code Yahtzee, you keep re-rolling this dice and that dice but never quite manage to get the exact combination you need.

There’s an old saying about computers, they don’t do what you want them to do, they do what you tell them to do. They can’t do what you don’t tell them to do.

Oh, God, he’s trying to use pointers again. He can never get them right. And they say I’m supposed to chase my tail…

SO gives you very specific, small examples. GenAI will happily generate entire projects, test suites etc. It’s much easier to get caught into the fantasy that the latter creates.

Yeah.

Next step, modify your resume to say you did networking at previous positions. Don’t lie, just focus on the network stuff. I’m assuming you did that too.

Get a certification?

I’m just explaining why Google can’t put YouTube behind a paywall. It’s fine as long as it’s an open platform. If it becomes a paid product it raises the bar.

Lol. Yeah it’s all fresh or properly sourced material.

Go search for any music video. You should be finding exactly one (1) official entry. In some cases there are legit live recordings + montage that should also be only one of.

Instead there are dozens or hundreds, and most of them are not transformative enough to qualify for fair use. Google knows which ones are there illegaly because they are clearly able to identify and demonetize them.

But why not straight out delete them, or tell the uploader to delete them or else? Because they want to have lots of content regardless if it’s legit, and they want to show ads, just as long as it goes to the right people.

They can put ads on questionable content that’s free to watch as long as they’re ready to remove it if and when asked, but they can’t sell a product based on questionable content. It comes too close to what piracy websites are doing.

YouTube was built on illegal content and still has a buttload of illegal content and Google knows it but won’t do anything about it. Let’s not call the kettle black.

If they really want to be serious about it fine, turn it into paid-only access. It will neatly solve the whole ad debacle and they won’t have to play cat and mouse with VPNs and blocking and all these shenanigans.

Ask yourself why they don’t do that. It’s because 90% of the content on there is illegal and when they host it for free they have an excuse. But if they turn the whole thing private and ask for money to access it they become liable for all of it.

Fell off this passing truck that was carrying shows and movies!

That was a solved problem 20 years ago lol. We made working systems for this in our lab at Uni, it was one of our course group projects. It used combinations of sensors and microcontrollers.

It’s not really the kind of problem that requires AI. You can do it with AI and image recognition or live traffic data but that’s more fitting for complex tasks like adjusting the entire grid live based on traffic conditions. It’s massively overkill for dead time switches.

Even for grid optimization you shouldn’t jump into AI head first. It’s much better long term to analyze the underlying causes of grid congestion and come up with holistic solutions that address those problems, which often translate into low-tech or zero-tech solutions. I’ve seen intersections massively improved by a couple of signs, some markings and a handful of plastic poles.

Throwing AI at problems is sort of a “spray and pray” approach that often goes about as badly as you can expect.

FWIW I don’t recall ever finding anything obscure on there so I think it’s mostly mainstream stuff.

They’re nowhere close to something like Anna. They have nice collections but it’s mostly English mainstream stuff.

The IRC bots that run these sharing channels will crap themselves if hit with any kind of automation. Many/most have limited bandwidth and use a queueing system that only serves one or two downloads at a time and a small queue (it varies, some may have a 10 slot queue, some may have 50 or 100).

That’s a pretty big jump that the article makes… Here’s what the decision is about:

The Court, sitting as the Full Court, holds that the general and indiscriminate retention of IP addresses does not necessarily constitute a serious interference with fundamental rights

They also said that, which is true:

EU law does not preclude national legislation authorising the competent public authority, for the sole purpose of identifying the person suspected of having committed a criminal offence, to access the civil identity data associated with an IP address

I should point out that copyright infringement is not a criminal offense, it’s a civil matter.

None of this adds up to what the article claims.

Use “wine-ge” not “proton-ge” in this case. Anything with “proton” in its name is specifically made to work best with games on Steam. “Wine-ge” has all the patches from “proton-ge” so you’re not missing out on anything, but it can work better with non Steam games.

If you have root than Titanium is still the best around for things like app backup and restore, and if you have Titanium you might as well freeze apps with it because it’s very easy.

But what Titanium calls freeze is actually a native function of Android (“disabling” an app), it just takes more steps. Normally it’s available in the app’s system info screen but preinstalled apps will bitch about it and may ask you to uninstall updates before allowing you to disable them. Some preinstalled apps won’t let you disable them at all and you have to resort to terminal commands. It’s just easier to use Titanium.

I think there’s other apps around that specialize in disabling stuff and may or may not require root. I don’t know, I’ve always used Titanium and never looked back.

You can use Titanium on anything if you can get root in a normal fashion (standard superuser) and if it has a decent BusyBox installed.

But you might also be able to freeze (disable) an app from terminal, the command IIRC is pm disable-user + parameters.

Having two launchers is a good point but it doesn’t have to be the stock launcher. You can install any random launcher for backup as long as it can show the app list.

And if they have root it would be safer to just freeze it with Titanium to prevent the bug.

No extra module, it just hides itself.
