11·6 days agoYeah in my area standard time would be better. The summer would be a bit more sane, I think sunset can be as late as 10:30 at the peak of summer, so losing an hour isn’t horrible there

323·6 days agoBC/Vancouver just removed it but made it DST year round. My only worry against that is that mornings would be hella dark. For where I live, sunrise in the winter (standard time) is around 7:55AM, meaning that’s crack of dawn first light. Spring forward, so 7:55 becomes 8:55, meaning our first sunlight of the day won’t be until about 9am. Now, our evenings will be a bit longer (sunset is around 4-4:30, so now 5-5:30, but still most people won’t even see sunrise.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Donald Knuth describes his shock and joy upon learning that Claude successfully solved an open combinatorial problem he had been researching for a future volume of The Art of Computer Programming.English
5·6 days agoThat’s fair. A huge difference is how much money is behind the crazy hype machine, and how desperate they are to keep the hype going. Most actual tech people I know, work with, and are connected with in the field have normalized on tech usage. Knowing when to use it and when not to use it. It’s only the tech bros at the top who are still like “Yeah bro it’s totally going to get rid of labor bro we’re all gonna have androids who do all the work bro just trust me just 200 billion more dollars bro I promise”

73·6 days agoExactly. It should all be treated as another tool in the toolbelt. To me, it reminds me of when GUI editors came along in IDEs like Visual Studio. It honestly feels the same. Tech CEOs immediately clamor to say that tech jobs are dead, the market for engineers dips. Engineers freak out and refuse to learn the technology while others learn what it is. Those who learn and use it as a tool elevate themselves and move faster. There is a non-trivial group of people who refuse to use the GUI tools on principal. Eventually the CEOs realize they made a mistake, and then more work comes in faster than ever before. Eventually over the years/decades everyone starts using the tech as a tool.
It’s the same with an AI. Like it’s following the exact same pattern to a T. CEOs starting to realize that it’s just a tool that can be used, but it needs people at the helm to know how to use it. Devs are split, some it’s accelerating their work if they know what it’s doing, others see a useless boondoggle and refuse to use it but are probably only hurting themselves because every interview is asking “are you using AI”. I’d say we’re finally starting to normalize on it’s usage as a tool.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•EA is hiring a Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer to lead development of a native ARM64 driver for their Javelin kernel anti-cheat system and start laying groundwork for Linux/Proton supportEnglish
1·7 days agoWhich i s why i really think it’s a leap to assume that hiring a single engineer means they are trying to modify the kernel. I really doubt any modifications would make it to the kernel for anti cheat. Server side or something in user space is very likely what they’ll be doing

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•EA is hiring a Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer to lead development of a native ARM64 driver for their Javelin kernel anti-cheat system and start laying groundwork for Linux/Proton supportEnglish
3·7 days agoThat would all depend on both the Linux kernel accepting that to the upstream (which, let’s remember crowdstrike), and each distro not removing it. I sincerely doubt that is what this role is. This role is much more likely how to make anti cheat work in linux somehow without kernel access.

1519·8 days agoLook, I don’t enjoy EA, they’ve killed several of my franchises, but what we shouldn’t do is demonize them for attempting to migrate to Linux. If a huge gaming company is taking Linux seriously it’s something we should celebrate. It means we’re making an impact

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it bad to have a male best friend when you’re in a relationship?English
401·8 days agoI disagree with the other commenter. Your male friend is irrelevant, it comes down to trust, does your boyfriend trust you. I don’t like the opinion of the commenter of “Just dump him”, that’s a very throwaway concept. (Something isn’t perfect? Throw it out of your life. I don’t like that line of thinking)
I think you should communicate with your boyfriend, ask him why he feels that way, and ask why he feels like he can’t trust you. It’s a dialogue you two need to have. It won’t be a fun one, but if you both want the relationship to work you’ll come out stronger. (If he tries to say things like “He’s waiting for his turn”, turn it around, make it about you and him. “But do you trust me”?) You then give him time to learn and adjust to it. Of course if he refused to learn or adjust, and it doesn’t work, then it becomes a more serious decision.
My anecdote, I was your boyfriend for a long time. My SO, now spouse, was hanging out with someone who was clearly interested. To make it worse, I had been cheated on before so it was a massive trigger for me, and I was immediately paranoid (cheating really fucks with your trust). I grew jealous and it became very unhealthy. If my SO took the other commenter’s advice, we wouldn’t have the life we have now. Thank god they didn’t, and instead talked to me, and gave me the ability to learn and grow. I learned to trust her, and worked on myself, and now 15 years later we’re both very happy and have built a life together.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What honest and harmless test do you put on a potential date?English
14·9 days agoTesting is a 1-way communication style. The most important foundation to a relationship is communication. “Testing” undermines that and is a red flag on date 1. Now, having a conversation and talking about things is something else.

9·9 days agoI’m not sure either of those are first date material. 3rd or 4th sure, but 1st is just like “Are you a complete asshole or not, do we share any interests”



Non-comparable, apples and oranges. It exists, it’s there, you can generate it to make something quick, but it’s not art. You simply can’t compare something that someone poured their heart into and something that a prompt made
