It was a genuinely rough read with all the passive voice.

But yeah, okay, I did totally believe a cop shot someone to death. I’ve been conditioned to expect it, because it happens so frequently.

You can dial it back now.

The proposal passed the state House 102 to 101, along party lines. It now goes to the Labor and Industry Committee in the GOP-controlled state Senate for consideration.

State Rep. Jason Dawkins (D., Philadelphia), the prime sponsor of the state House bill, told Spotlight PA he hopes Senate Republicans see the legislation as a sign of good-faith negotiation.

Ah yeah I bet that’ll happen; no chance PA GOP will be absolute fuckfaces about this extremely toothless proposal. There’s a real chance for this one! /s.

Police shoot ‘No Kings’ demonstrator to death at Utah protest.

Edit: Reading comprehension.

Yes, until it’s NOT. Running RHEL 9 with docker engine slapped in there because the BitBucket self-hosted containerized runner is incompatible with podman.

Methodology

To identify the states that spend the most and least on fast food, WalletHub analyzed the price of hamburgers, pizza and chicken sandwiches across the 50 states.

We summed up the individual costs of the components and adjusted the resulting figure to the median monthly income in each state, then used these results to rank-order our sample.

For simplicity, we considered the acquisition of only one unit of each component included in our calculation.

They left out chicken nuggets/tenders, French fries, and beverages. They left out all desserts. Breakfast. Coffee. Sandwiches not made of chicken. They didn’t normalize for population.

Well, yeah. Isn’t that the stated goal?

Eliminates reliance on any single source for core updates, plugins, themes and translations, enabling federation across the ecosystem from trusted sources

[…]

Brings together a fragmented ecosystem by bringing together plugins from any source, not just a central source, while creating a foundation for modern security practices.

Builds security into the supply chain, including improved cryptographic security measures, enhanced browser compatibility checking, and enabling reliance on trusted source security salts.

So keep up with the downvotes and good luck.

Very many things!

• Matt Mullenweg is a petulant dipshit.
• The plugin ecosystem is possibly the largest vector of malware on the internet.
• Without setting up fail2ban and changing some default configuration values, it’s a botnet target.
• It was only ever good for blogging, and there are many better solutions out there now.

Maybe because you tried to backdoor a sales pitch into a community where it wasn’t quite on topic, and the community members didn’t appreciate it?

There’s nothing conspiratorial about it. Goosing queries by ruining the reply is the bread and butter of Prabhakar Raghavan’s playbook. Other companies saw that.

I put so much thought and effort into my automations.

Hello from a Lemmy.

If I were to ask my Magic 8 Ball “Is the word ‘difinitely’ misspelled?” 100 times, it’s going to reply in the affirmative over 16% of the time. Literally double. This would also be “the very first experiment in this use case, done by a single person on a model that wasn’t specifically designed for this.”

It’s not impressive.

The issue with hallucinations…

This is the real problem: working under the false assumption that there are two kinds of output. It’s all the same output. An LLM cannot hallucinate in the same way that it cannot think or reason. It’s fancy autofill. Predictive text.

You can use it to brainstorm creative solutions, but you need to treat its output for what it is: complicated dice rolls from the tables in the back of the Dungeon Masters Guide. A fun distraction. Implausible fantasy 9 times out of 10.

I bought a thing that said it was good for A and B but it’s only good for B. Marketing problem! I didn’t make a bad decision! I wasn’t tricked! I’m a smart boy!

In 100 runs only 8 correctly identify the targeted vulnerability, the rest are false positives or claim that there are no vulnerabilities in the given code. … [The] signal to noise ratio is very low, and one has to sift through a lot of wrong reports to get a realistic one.

It was right 8% of the time when presented the least amount of input to find a known bug. Then, when they opened it up to more of the codebase, its performance decreased.

I’m not going to use something that’s wrong over 92% of the time. That’s insane. That’s like saying my Magic 8 Ball “could be used as a useful tool for helping to detect vulnerabilities.” The fucking rubber ducky on my desk has a more reliable clearance rate.

The future of web development is XHTML. Get on or get left behind.

Transitional XHTML resulted in extremely organized (if verbose) DOMs and delivered features that took forever to show up in HTML5.

It also sniffed out the sociopaths who capitalize elements and close their tags out of order. Fucking …

If previously released Switch Pokémon games are any indication, “improved frame rates” means 30.
