@larsmb it's all a big distraction from actual real world problems, which I find fascinating (and terrifying) on a psychological/sociological level. Like, the whole "AGI will kill us all" scare/movement is not a conspiracy but it grew organically...

some guy used my work without attribution on youtube (this happens a few times a month) so I sent a "hey, sorry, that's not allowed, please remove it" request and today the guy uploaded eight new videos - all direct copies of my work.

sigh.

@whitequark super exciting! Do you think it's possible to target WASM for an LLVM JIT compiler?

📢 Short announcement for chaos.social users 📢

We just made a minor change to our rules:

The sentence “Provide credit for creative works that are not your own.” was moved from the “Best Practices” section up to the proper rules.

We also expanded it to clarify our stance on AI generated content: “That includes marking AI generated content clearly as such.”

You can always find our full rules at https://meta.chaos.social/rules

@ordnung thank you for clarifying! The screen reader argument doesn't make sense to me, given I wrote alt text would be supplied. But I'm not here to DEBATE so it's all good.

dngrs,
@dngrs@chaos.social avatar

@ordnung I like the idea of explicit attribution! Question: does credit need to be added in the following examples?
(assuming alt text is provided)

  1. Screenshot of a tweet with author's username visible

  2. TikTok video that ends with the author's username

  3. Comic where the author's homepage is embedded as text/signature

Once again I get foiled by switching languages. :blobcatfacepalm2:

In Javascript, you have to compare strings with ===, not ==, or else you'll run into type coercion problems, because Javascript thinks 1 == "1" is a totally fine thing to be true. (it's not)

But in Kotlin, === compares identity not equality for strings. But in the JVM, string values are aggressively cached, so === actually does what you want most of the time. Unless your strings come from weird places, like JNI code. Then you get awful non-deterministic behavior that's incredibly hard to debug, but it totally goes away when you use the correct comparison operator == for strings.

sigh I'm not really as good at this whole programming thing as I should be by now.

@happyborg what didn't you like about angular? I found it surprisingly pleasant, especially the reactive API. Though that can be rather brain melting too, and hard to debug...

Ouh yeah! First working prototype of a rotary LED display with firmware ✨

LED rotor spinning in the colors red, green, blue and yellow

@cliffle thank you! I'm quite happy I got it to work, being entirely self taught when it comes to EE and mechanics… lots of improvements still to be made, mostly I should get a rotor PCB fabbed that has a higher LED density than a puny strip 🙃
WiFi controls & firmware update would also be nice... the pogo pin jig is testing my patience for sure

Weird request - in 's password manager, is there a way to stop it from asking about saving new passwords?

I don't want to fully disable it (since I'm migrating to a different one step by step, and want access to the history), but I want all new ones to go to my new choice.

Seems this isn't possible, but maybe I just missed it or a helpful extension?

dngrs,

@larsmb the way I solved this was by importing Firefox passwords into the new password manager

Okay so let me tell you what I just wasted my like… last half hour on?

Let's say you want to get an IP address of a mDNS (".local") server. Even if your computer can connect to these, the nslookup tool will not tell you what they are. One reason you might need the IP is WSL is generally blocked from doing mDNS lookups.

The fix is:

On Linux:
avahi-resolve --name SERVERNAME.local
Or for ipv4:
avahi-resolve -4 --name SERVERNAME.local
You may have to install an avahi-utils package.

On Windows:

@RL_Dane rustc has gotten a lot faster over time, also cross compiling Rust is rather trivial. There's also cargo binstall (yes, with a b) for prebuilt packages.

@raptor85 as an embedded Rust developer: this is wildly inaccurate. You need unsafe for a few building blocks like register access, but most code is perfectly fine performance wise without unsafe.

weird how a speaker at a major conservative political conference calling for the end of democracy and the establishment of a theocratic authoritarian state is something i have to read about in goofy little niche websites and social media accounts because i can't find it in, like, the pages of a newspaper whose catchphrase is "Democracy Dies in Darkness."

safety: it's not enough to just test when you have symptoms

"The 29 cases identified as super-spreaders, i.e., the indexes that had the most positive contacts, showed few symptoms or were asymptomatic. Deepest transmission clusters are those with the highest percentage of asymptomatic members.
The correlation between proportion of asymptomatic and degree of transmission clusters showed that asymptomatic strongly contributed to the continuity of transmission within clusters."
