academic fraud has always existed

one that i’ve used in the past but isn’t mentioned here is type state based. when developing a file upload service i have a File struct with different states that implement FileState, ie struct File<TState: FileState>. Uploading, Staged, and Committed. Uploading contains a buffer and some block IDs, Staged has no buffer but includes the block IDs, and Committed is just a marker. they can have different methods based on their type state like impl File<Uploading>. this gives us the type safety of, for example, not allowing a partially uploaded file to be committed, while still sharing some state like ID, etc.

this is why i moved from Arch to NixOS. now i know what system packages are installed and can even leave comments in the config to remind myself what the heck cyme does, for instance

god help the poor soul tasked with maintaining a JDK 8 system in AD 2034

yeah it does seem like i need to dive deeper into the manual and get some better diagnostics

it was connected to hot water when i moved in; i simply left it that way. i’ll definitely give the manual another look to see if that’s configured correctly.

it does pump at least some water as the dishes come out wet. they come out fairly wet too, which was another signal that maybe the water wasn’t hot enough.

ETA: the manual does specify it should be hooked up to hot water

yeah i did turn up the temp on the heater. i’m 99% sure the correct line is hooked up. i checked it earlier today, but at this point i’m willing to entertain the idea i’m reading that wrong.

insulation is an idea i hadn’t thought of, although i’m not sure how much exposed line i can access.

phone in a ziplock is an interesting idea for sure! i happen to have some old Android devices from work that would be great for this.

i appreciate the response 🙏

without checking, Gates’ wealth is probably tied up in a lot of MS stock, and he could probably walk into the office and ask the intern to get him a coffee. but yeah i think mostly retired.

Linus is still active is maintaining the Linux kernel.

and yes, this is fluff, not some kind of summit

ah that makes sense

eh Bill doesn’t really pull any levers at MS these days, and Linus already got the moral victory of the Linux kernel running on Windows and basically powering their entire cloud business.

fuckin weird that an extension would inject invalid JSON into an API payload. if you’re gonna make a shady plugin at least test it lol

anyway, if that’s truly the issue i’d be worried about what my extensions were doing, personally.

i would start by seeing what the actually API response is. i haven’t used OpenWebUI, but to me this looks like some kind of error response from the server. you could use an API tester like Bruno. also check your Ollama logs to see if it’s getting the request and any other output there.

if you really want to stick it to Google you have to go for Firefox or something derived from it. Chromium gives Google a ton of leverage to push features to all of their downstreams. not sure what engine these are using, but i also prefer to use Firefox because it’s open source. if these were open source you could easily see which engine they’re using.

pretty scant on details. what is this doing for me that Podman or Containerd aren’t? “oPtIMizeD fOR aPPlE SiLICon” is fluff

it’s so much worse than the normal search. i would search for “dog” or “pasta” or “house” and get a pretty good result, but this conversational shit is just plain worse. and the “conversational” aspect is useless

pretty common misconception about how “AI” works. models aren’t constantly learning. their weights are frozen before deployment. they can infer from context quite a bit, but they won’t meaningfully change without human intervention (for now)

is there such a thing as “legitimate criticism” against an entire race of people? this writer is bonkers, and you can tell from the intro. seems like the actual content of the post was buried beneath the first paragraph where a rare few would find it. maybe it was wrong or illegal to fire this guy for being a racist asshole (being a state funded org or something?), but couching it in this narrative of “cancel culture” and “a violation of the first amendment” has fashy vibes to me. institutions should be allowed to control the narrative set by their employees. i understand that as part of my company my words reflect on them, and it’s up to their discretion whether they want to continue to associate with me based on the things i say. you have every right to say racist shit on your favorite fascist-owned platform, but everyone else has the right to tell you to fuck off.

also big downvote for posting this in a technology community

it’s just a lot of complexity, especially if you’re targeting only Android. it’s single threaded and not native to the platform. you’ll be behind on platform versions and have to find shims for everything. you’ll run into weird issues for which the fixes are not supported by the native platform. the more layers you put in between you and the native runtime, the more things can go wrong

Android Studio and Jetpack Compose is going to be the path of least resistance, but i’d need to hear more requirements to make a real recommendation (besides try to avoid React Native unless you have a really good reason)

not really. using WASM as your full stack for your front end is just adding to the complexity and jank. WASM is there for compute heavy stuff. you can use it that way if you want.
