Step to write software by human:

  1. Decide what you want your software to do (medium)
  2. Decide what you REALLY want your software to do in all the corner cases (very HARD)
  3. Write the code (Easy to Medium)
  4. Test the code (Medium)
  5. Debug the code (hard to very HARD).

Now, thanks to ChatGPT, you could improve this workflow by:

  • making step 3, the only easy step, somewhat easier (and thus hiring less competent engineers)

  • making step 5 nearly Impossible.

Did you know that (yes, the collection of screensavers for X11) is available on Android?

And that requires it to have a privacy policy in order to be available in the Play Store?

And that the maintainer chose to crowd-source a privacy policy where every item starts with "Unlike Google"?

It's become a great list of all the privacy violations Google did and still does. And I thought that it's gonna be long, but it's even longer than I imagined.

Germany’s AfD is so extreme it was kicked out of the far-right grouping in the European Parliament last month, but Elon Musk thinks their policies “don’t sound extremist.” That’s because he’s also a fascist.

Krótki przegląd cytatów z Putina (zebrał Aleksandr Sztefanow, tłumaczenie moje) w odpowiedzi na jego wczorajsze (5 czerwca 2024) okrzyki, że groźba napaści Rosji na NATO to “brednie”.

Pod koniec 2021 oraz 2022 roku Putin i Ławrow w ten sam sposób opisywali groźby napaści Rosji na Ukrainę, a koncentrację 200 tys wojsk na jej granicy nazywali “suwerennym prawem Rosji”. W lutym 2022 Rosjanie napadli na Ukrainę.

W marcu 2014 Putin mówił w odezwie do Ukraińców, że “nie wierzcie tym, kto straszy was Rosją i krzyczy, że za Krymem pójdą następne regiony”. Dwa tygodnie później Rosjanie weszli na Donbas.

W 2008 roku Putin mówił: “Krym nie jest żadnym spornym terytorium! Rosja dawno uznała granice dzisiejszej Ukrainy i raz na zawsze zamknęliśmy ten temat.” Siedem lat później Rosja napadła na Krym i go anektowała.

A dwa lata wcześniej Rosjanie rozpoczęli serię skrytobójstw w krajach NATO, w 2006 roku mordując w Londynie Aleksandra Litwinienkę i szereg innych uciekinierów z Rosji, wysadzając w powietrze zakłady amunicyjne na terytorium UE i uruchamiając potężne kampanie cyberataków na instytucje unijne. W 2018 roku holenderska policja zatrzymała na gorącym uczynków agentów GRU, którzy próbowali się włamać do OPCW w Holandii.

"a potential gold mine for criminal hackers or domestic abusers who may physically access their victim’s device. Images include captures of messages sent on encrypted messaging apps Signal and WhatsApp, and remain in the captures regardless of whether disappearing messages are turned on in the apps."

In 2024 it still somehow isn't standard practice to ask in the design process: Are we building the killer app for domestic abusers?

Blocklists are not only community-maintained resources, but often charge for monitoring and removal services.

There is an imbalance between small and large operators, and the fact that many people suggested us to just use service from $$company$$ instead of self-hosting emails indicates the terrible situation.

We have written about our position in detail previously: https://blog.codeberg.org/how-blocklists-prevent-the-internet-to-be-decentralized-and-safe.html

Rosja podnosi podatki „Bo sankcje nie działają” 😉 Proszę zwrócić uwagę, że te zmiany podatkowe wpłyną także na koszty produkcji eksportowej, w tym nawozów kupowanych chętnie w UE. Niskie opodatkowanie tej produkcji w Rosji było oczywiście formą jej subsydiowania co powodowało, że europejscy rolnicy wybierali je zamiast nawozów produkowanych w UE bo były one po prostu niekonkurencyjne przy wysokich cenach energii… i niskich importowych stawkach celnych.

Podatek dochodowy od osób prawnych zostanie zwiększony z 20 do 25 procent. W przypadku małych i średnich firm, których roczny dochód przekroczy 60 mln rubli wprowadzony zostanie podatek VAT. Proponuje się także podniesienie podatku od wydobycia minerałów tzw, MET: dla przemysłu „wydobycia żelaza” 1,15-krotnie; „produkcja nawozów mineralnych” (potas) – 2,3 razy; „produkcja nawozów mineralnych” (fosfor) – 2 razy. Dla producentów nawozów azotowych – wprowadzenie podatku akcyzowego na zakup gazu do produkcji amoniaku – 1200 rubli za tys. metrów sześciennych.

This is how Russia treats its prisoners of war. Ukrainian servicemen Roman Horilik returned home on May 31. He was one of the national guards, protecting the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and got captured in March 2022. You can see how starved he is. His body is skin and bones.

honestly feel like I'm losing my fucking mind reading this shit. how does this make any fucking sense? you send an AI bot to a video meeting you're not attending where presumably other coworkers will also send their bots?????? to what fucking end? what is the point of this? why are we having NPCs video chat with eachother? what gets done with this? what is the purpose? how is this not just a fucking email? is this what jokerfication is? this doesn't make any fucking sense!

radicalrobit,
@radicalrobit@laserdisc.party avatar

the future is just chatbots on video calls with each other (why is there a video call at all!?!?) who will then report back to you about the transcript of the video call between chat bots that everyone sent their chatbot to instead of going themselves?????

yukijoou,

@radicalrobit that's the one thing that gets me every time with ai is how it can "help you do write full emails from bullet points", and "summarise emails into bullet points" - like, what about we give up on formalism and just send lists of bullet points to one another. if you don't think the person you're writing to is worth properly writing out a full email, just, don't? instead of using copyright laundering machine 4.0 and destroying the planet

it really feels like some people need a philosophy class on universalizability - kant figured this out in the 1700s!

Data brokers are bad enough, but imagine executives sell data to worse criminals who fraud the elderly and others. I hope they get the maximum.

“The scheme lasted for 10 years, resulting in hundreds of thousands of Americans losing large sums of money to fraudsters in what was essentially a targeted, data-driven scam.”

@JdeBP @wolfsbruder Worth noting that the most recent conviction for High Treason in the UK took place in ... 2023! Because trying to murder the monarch is an offense classified as High Treason under the UK’s legal systems. (The convicted man got a 9 year sentence, initially to be served in a psychiatric hospital, for trying to kill the queen—at the urging of his AI chatbot girlfriend.)
