I know I’m old because I saw 56k and immediately wondered why they were doing this over dialup.

There is nothing wrong with nuclear energy. The problem is we haven’t invested in making smaller, cheaper reactors. The cost runaway of nuclear reactors and nuclear waste disposal are the biggest problems with it. We need to be able to spin up a reactor for the cost of a solar field, but we still are using 1960s technology in our current reactors with little to no advancement.

Solar doesn’t work during the evening hours without battery storage that we don’t have. Wind depends on…well…the wind. Tidal is consistently OK, but situational in location. Same for geothermal.

Nuclear has the advantage of being a consistent, steady output all the time and can be put pretty much everywhere. Given the choice between Natural Gas fired plants to make up deficits and Nuclear, I’ll choose Nukes every time.

They only need to open source the kernel. They can build whatever proprietary stuff they want on top of the Linux kernel.

Or just Linux. Why even bother with BSD?

There was a study done several months ago. I’ll try to find the source again and link it here in a comment edit.

[EDIT]

Couldn’t find the study, but here is an infographic that has similar data: https://infogram.com/ai-hellucination-report-2025-1h9j6q7mz7q354g

Hallucinations have improved, but the average for all models is still around 8-9%. Likely the study I read before was from last year, so the higher hallucinations rate is from that.

Even the best model hallucinates an average of around 1 in 100 times and OpenAI has stated publicly that hallucinations are mathematically impossible to eliminate entirely.

Generative AI has an average error rate of 9-13%. Nobody should trust it wholesale and what it spits out.

It has some excellent use cases. Vibe code/sysadmin/netadmin’ing are not one of those things.

As someone who works in network engineering support and has seen Claude completely fuck up people’s networks with bad advice: LOL.

Literally had an idiot just copying and pasting commands from Claude into their equipment and brought down a network of over 1000 people the other day.

It hallucinated entire executables that didn’t exist. It asked them to create init scripts for services that already had one. It told them to bypass the software UI, that had the functionality they needed, and start adding routes directly to the system kernel.

Every LLM is the same bullshit guessing machine.

Which part of the industry?

I had no idea what the acronym was. Guess I’m just sheltered or something.

Your brain runs on ChatGPT now. Better start eating a diet of NVidia GPUs.

I set mine up with HAProxy for TLS offloading and ACME for the server cert. Restrict your access to just your country/region by GeoIP and you are pretty good to go.

Until Plebbit fixes how god awful slow it is, I won’t be interested in it. Lemmy is decentralized enough for me.

The fuck does this brain rot even mean?

My Roborock is genuinely an important cleaning tool for keeping my messy house with three kids clean.

Yeah the only reason I’m able to afford my house is because I got it 5 years ago for $200k. If I had to buy it today, I’d be fucked.

A “six figure income” is such a stupidly relative term. What a useless fucking metric.

First of all, that could literally mean anything from $100,000 to $999,999 a year. Someone making nearly a million dollars a year is not “in survival mode”, even in the highest cost of living areas.

Second, it depends on where you live. If you live in the middle of BFE Arizona or Minnesota, having a ~$100k salary could mean you’re living like a king. Living in San Francisco or New York, you’re probably living in a shoebox apartment.

I’m barely one of these “six figure” people. I make $103k per year. However, I also am the sole income for my family of 5, which means I pay for everybody’s health and dental insurance premiums. These are over $1200 a month. I also live in a moderately high cost of housing city where the cheapest, bombed out, sub-900 sq ft house is going for 1/5th to a quarter of a million $ plus. My neighbor has a 973 sq ft home with non-working plumbing, a roof that has shingles coming off and leaks, single pane windows, and foundation issues. His house has an estimated value of $237k if it sold today.

After taxes, nearly half of my salary alone goes to just housing and healthcare and I do not live in a fucking McMansion. My house is around 1000 sq ft. And I still need to keep the lights on, pay for gas, pay the water bill, pay for groceries…Oh and don’t forget about student loan debt to get that income. Have fun paying that at $600-700 a month. If I was renting instead of having a mortgage, I could not afford to live here.

Now I’m not “in survival mode”, as this article would have you believe, but I’m also not exactly “thriving”. If I lost my job, my family would be unable to live beyond…something like 2-3 months. And with the job market cratering in the tech world (which is my career market) right now, it scares the shit out of me. Literally keeps me up at night with anxiety.

What I’m trying to say is that not even us “middle class” folks are doing super great. We’re currently teetering on the edge of a knife and, with continually rising costs, will likely fall into “upper-lower class” territory in the next decade.

I suppose, but I’m skeptical of car manufacturer claims, too, until independent testing is done.

I hope this is real and think it’s awesome, but will wait to see if they exaggerated.

Until someone tests it independently, this should be considered BS.

That’s just what they fucking want you to think.

All WiFi routers should run OpenWRT or another open source solution. There is nothing in these black boxes that needs to be closed source. They’re WiFi and NAT FFS.
