@HackingDave Very nice control!! Also is that a .357 Magnum?? Always wanted to shoot one of those!

@adammocklerr Dems are going to be very surprised I feel, by the amount of “If you have anything to do with this Israeli Government, you’ll never get my vote” they’re going to get. They’re tone deaf, completely lack action, and are only riding the “we’re not Trump” bandwagon.

@ChShersh I wonder if any companies who have stepped back, are looking at what was produced? I wonder how worth it, it actually was?

@0day_ninja This is why I love hackers, that’s so cool!!

@hasanthehun I mean if he's referring to Congressmen as "influencers" now, I suppose he's right.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor.

We are a sovereign country.

To those who say I'm a conspiracy theorist or antisemitic for what I post about AIPAC and Israeli influence:

Genuine question. Where is your red line?

Congress just moved to legally merge our military with Israel's. American citizens serving in the IDF would get the same legal protections as U.S. troops. First time in history. For any country.
If that's not it, what is? What would have to happen for you to say "that's too much" or "that's not in America's interest"?

I'm not asking rhetorically. I want to know because every time a new line gets crossed, the line moves.

So where is yours?

@iam_elias1 For years now I purchase my own cable modem and router/WAP. I found plugging in a switch to Xfinity’s router, slashed downstream wired device speed by 2/3. Plugged directly into one of their 2 ports, saw 800Mbps. With my own equipment, everything sees full speed.

@ThePrimeagen Oh god, are we going to have to start adding "expected tokens" along with "story points?"

[altf2o @altf2o]

@omoelerinjare1 Even if I had, "live in HAO neighborhood money" I would absolutely never, lol. There's zero chance I would ever deal with shit like this.

I'm a fan of AI in general. I'm having fun learning LangChain and I can't wait to learn to train my own models, or even augment existing ones that fit in my old little video card, lol. But this, is very true from all I've seen. So much hype; I think it will get there, not yet.

[Sir Escanor (𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳) @EscanorReloaded]

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.

One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.

Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.

You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.

The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.

And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.

To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.

You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.

Enjoy.

a professor at Illinois got frustrated with existing systems programming textbooks

so he started a wikibook project and had students help write it

it covers C, processes, threads, synchronization, memory allocation, networking, filesystems, scheduling and security

all in one free PDF

it eventually became the official textbook for CS 241 at UIUC with more than 1000 students taking the course every year

written for people who already know how to code and want to understand what actually happens underneath

@MKBHD @yonann I'm sure branding has a lot to do with it, but having control from hardware -> software has proven to produce much more stable capable devices, in my opinion. I use a standard M1/8GB RAM/256GB HD for daily computer, zero issues even for development.

@liamcunningham1 If anyone hasn't by now, they never will.

[altf2o @altf2o]

@LePapillonBlu2 It's always so crazy how obvious it is when someone has never faced consequences or been held accountable their entire life. You don't act like that unless you have a LONG history of just getting away with shit. The victim antics were just the icing on the cake!

[altf2o @altf2o]

@ENNEPS @NASASpaceflight This was honestly the most impressive part for me. I remember the first one was seemed to barely want to lift off. All the way to ship 12 that felt like a Falcon rocket taking off lol! They did amazing work to get it there!

[kate_tice @kate_tice]

So many new upgrades are about to take flight for the first time... Let's light this (Version 3) candle!

@EZE3D At least they're letting their hair down. Slaves, they all just want slaves. Not to participate in a society, just get rich from slave labor.

@lauriewired @gzcl3000 I would add I use Gemini as well via VSCode Cline plugin. If you add “.clinerules” at your project root, you can add roles and such. When learning new things I have it help, not provide answers. Also that I’m ADHD, it helps break things down to keep me focused.
