Neckbeard, but I am unable to grow a beard.

I'm a polish software engineer by trade (and passion) working on #Ruby on Rails in a SASS. But my true heartbeat is the #foss #RetroComputing rhythm: I love my #emacs #freebsd combo. I am very much into #smallweb and all that it stands for.

I love good #SciFi but recently I've been reading good #fantasy - which is a shock to me. There are great fantasy books out there!

Piracy is the only answer to streaming services.

Currently I am learning how to make a game for #commodore64.

Pam Bondi has spend more time investigating the people who are reading the files then the people who are in the Epstein files

They had exactly 4 computers available for congress to view the millions and millions of (still redacted) pages

Even worse, they kept a record of what they searched and used it against them

So it's not just that Discord is requiring pictures or IDs to verify age. They're also going to be running AI against everything you do on there to "infer" your age... So make sure you "type old".

Additionally, Discord will implement its age inference model, a new system that runs in the background to help determine whether an account belongs to an adult, without always requiring users to verify their age. Some users may be asked to use multiple methods if more information is needed to assign an age group.”

The EU is investing in brilliant solutions to revolutionise sustainable commuting.

One of them is Monocab 🚆

A gyro-stabilised monorail cabin offers autonomous, on-demand transport.

It's designed to complement public transit by enhancing mobility in less populated areas and making your journey both planet-friendly and convenient. 🚆

Have you heard of any other innovative transport solutions?

The cabin has a reflective, metallic exterior with large windows on the sides with one of them being open and revealing a cozy interior with seating and wood accents. It is situated outdoors on a patch of grass, with residential houses in the background and a clear sky overhead.

End of Japanese community at Mozilla due to the introduction of AI-based translation.

The community members have expressed disappointment and frustration that their long term volunteer efforts and local knowledge were being replaced by machine translation, which they felt did not match the quality of human provided support.

This is why Mozilla sucks so much, they are going crazy like rest of the industry.

Added screenshot in case Mozilla decided to remove it

A screenshot of support.mozilla.org Forum name: SUMO community discussions Title: End of Japanese community Text by user named marsf that reads: Hi, I am a locale leader of SUMO Japanese community. I have contributed to the Support over 20 years, before the beginning of support.mozilla.org. Today, November 4, we decided to end our SUMO Japanese community. In October 22, the sumobot was introduced to Japanese KB articles. I cannot accept its behavior and no words. * It doesn't follow our translation guidelines. * It doesn't respect current localization for Japanese users, so they were lost. * It approves its direct English MT immediately for All archived KB articles. * It approves only in 72 hours after its updates, so we lost our work to train new contributors. * It has been working now without our acceptance, without controls, without communications. * Over 300 Knowledge Base articles are overridden by sumobot. They are all happened on the product server, not on staging server. I understand that this is mass destruction of our work and explicit violation to the Mozilla mission, allowed officially. Therefore, I (marsf) declare: * I quit to contribute to support.mozilla.org. * I prohibit to use all my translation as learning data for SUMO bot and AIs. * I request to remove all my translation from learned data of SUMO AIs. However, individual Japanese contributors may want to work in their responsibility. It is their choice, we don't care nor support. Bye.

John Carmack on updating variables

https://xcancel.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1983593511703474196#m

A social media post by John Carmack (@ID_AA_Carmack) on Twitter that reads: "When I started working in python, I got lazy with “single assignment”, and I need to nudge myself about it. You should strive to never reassign or update a variable outside of true iterative calculations in loops. Having all the intermediate calculations still available is helpful in the debugger, and it avoids problems where you move a block of code and it silently uses a version of the variable that wasn’t what it originally had. In C/C++, making almost every variable const at initialization is good practice. I wish it was the default, and mutable was a keyword."

my biggest gripe with python is no more. The monster of

list(map(lambda p: p+1, range(10)))

is

[a+1 for a in range(10)]

and then there's same for dicts. Really nice languge.

We apologize for the long performance degradation today.
Finally, we identified all of the 'tricks' that AI crawlers found today. They no longer bypass the anubis proof of work challenges.

A novelty for us was that AI crawlers seem to not only crawl URLs that are actually presented to them by our frontend, but they converted the URLs into a format that bypassed our filter rules.

By the way, you can track the changes we have been doing via

@Codeberg I think your langue here is way to soft. It’s not crawlers what found it, but some company actively worked on breaking the mechanisms. It’s nothing else than malicious cracking. Behind every such incident is someone who made the decision to crack you.
