Well, good news! Windows File Explorer gets built-in AI actions, so you can combine the worst of both worlds! 🥳
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it getting less and less worthwhile to learn a language with the rise of AI?2·19 hours agoNo.
Apart from everything else, also consider that it’s just respectful to at least try and learn the local language of wherever it is you are going. Doesn’t matter if it’s on vacation or long term company deployment.
Also, LLMs are absolute garbage at picking up on things like subtle language-based jokes, for example.

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?81·4 days agoYes. No case. Why would I? I specifically got the phone because it’s quite small, and feels nice in the hand. A case would ruin that.
I also have not dropped any of my phones once in the past ~10 years.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•'Baby shark, doo, doo.' Popular kids' song used to deter the homelessEnglish10·5 days agoI dream of a pure information protocol. Kinda like RSS, but… More.
- allow any piece of information (news article, DM, sensor reading,…) to be wrapped in a standard format
- subscribe to any number of source directly or indirectly (e.g. through a self-hosted relay server)
- allow networks to define default data sources (e.g. get sensor data from machines as soon as you are connected to corporate networks
- make the data declare what UI elements are required,
- but allow clients to display them however the fuck they want
- allow user to assign priorities statically or programmatically to any source, and to filter, sort, categorize based on it
Essentially: I want “the feed” from universes like The Expanse

If I had to guess? Ubuntu Studio 14.04
From NixOS? Nothing, unless it’s compatible with my nix config in a way that I can simply replace nixpkgs’ flake input URL
That’s still eugenics, just as side effect

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?1·9 days agoInteresting. I always loved how they fit the musical entries into the story in a way that it makes sense that everyone is singing all of the sudden, lol
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?1·9 days agoIain M. Banks’ Culture.
I’m deathly afraid of the day some big studio manages to buy the rights and produce a Hollywood version of the Culture. Mostly because it is very easy to flip through the Wikipedia entries and then take the superficial aesthetic of the Culture and misunderstand or ignore the rest.
For an example on how easy it is to do this: I remember vividly when the German translations of the later books came out, and they all had some variation of
The Culture is the galaxy-spanning empire of mankind. Unbeknownst to its citizens however, their supposedly benevolent machine gods are about to dispense with the needs for humans at all"
in the blurb. Someone scanned the wiki page until they read something about “superhuman AI” or the like, then went “ah, got it, I’ve seen Terminator”.
In a similar vein, I cannot imagine that Hollywood would portray the Culture as an unquestionably good Utopia. They’d not be able to resist to paint the luxury gay space communists as “…with a dark secret / actually dystopian /…” tones.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?1·9 days agoIt has to have the same energy though. Dong have to be the same characters, doesn’t have to feature Brakebills for Fillory, but needs the same “we’re broken and magic doesn’t make it better, but hey, here’s a canonical musical” feeling
Computer Science (at a rather “prestigious” university for CS, for that matter, at least as far as that’s a thing here). Not in the US though, and none of the three universities I’ve studied at had mandatory attendance, for anything (exception: seminars, where attending talks by your fellow students was mandatory). As a result, I’ve never seen any prof take attendance.
A lot of comments on this post say that attendance was called esp. for freshmen classes, but frankly, I don’t see how that would even have been possible here, with sometimes 500+ students in a lecture hall.
In regards to assignments, at least in my experience, studying the lecture material and consulting it while solving the exercises was usually the fastest way to understand them and get them done.
Hi, I have been to lectures fewer than 10 times throughout my entire master’s. No AI, no textbooks, just lecture slides and doing the (ungraded) weekly assignments.
It probably wasn’t a smart idea (incl. for my social life), but it also wasn’t hard to do.
Don’t worry, I haven’t had to use Windows or MacOS since the early 2010s.
