on gender neutrule terminology in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 19h ago
"dude" always felt gender neutral to me (though do note English is my fourth language...).
And if you look at the etymology of the word, gender neutrality makes some sense.
It started out as slang in the late 1800s mocking "hyper-fashionable young urban men".
Then the early 20th century it transformed to describe tourists from the East Coast on the Western side of the country (see "dude ranches").
And then in the 60-70s it transformed thanks to surfer slang, back to being male oriented.
I'd say if you're uncomfortable with the "dude" form of the term... use "dood" instead. Or even "d00d" if you're feeling l33t h4xx0r.

Big companies often send interview requests based on partial information.
I was once called by a smaller company based purely on them finding a few PRs on Home Assistant by me. They wanted a fully custom smart home control system developed, in Python. I don't do Python.... at least not on a level of comfortably work for a company fully in it.

Most authors will GLADLY sell you DRM-free EPUBs if you ask them.
ebook sales are some of the worst payouts for authors so whenever they can, they sell them directly. Many list them on e.g. Patreon for a monthly fee, or offer a form of direct purchase, because all that money goes directly to them.

on Apple May Return to Server Market With Nvidia Technology: The system would be sold to outside customers, potentially bringing Apple back into a business it left behind when it discontinued Xserve. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Sep 2026
Of course the pricing will be different. My point here was that if Apple can jam that much compute into something as small as a Mac Mini, imagine what they can deliver at 4-5U scale.
Apple and Nvidia hardware combined might just be the solution to more scalable AI compute that uses less power.

Apple hardware is one of the best platforms for low scale AI workloads. A simple M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 64GB RAM can comfortably run the best "at-home" model currently available (Qwen3-Coder-Next) around 30-40tkps.
A comparably specced AMD Ryzen AI 395+ can do about half of that.
If Apple delivered that in server-scale, easily scalable packages, there would definitely be buyers.

on LLMs are real, "AI" is fake in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
I didn’t even want to open that can of worms…

on LLMs are real, "AI" is fake in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
Except it wasn’t just “throwing everything and the kitchen sink at a server”. Modern LLMs have been trained well enough to not just create a list of potential attacks and execute them, but to:
- create their own personality prompts aimed at pentesting and attack vector analysis
- actually analyse the target before executing any of the attacks, optimising that flow (which is pretty much what a security expert would do)
- scour the internet for recent references of the target and related keywords to see if their services have been exploited recently
- using the target analysis of step 2 to create a list of known third party elements (ranging from the HTTP server being used, the proxies and detected security measures, geographical distribution and HA, all the way to JS libraries used to run the website/admin interface)
- execute the attacks AND continuously tailor the solution based on the results
of course this can be used for good too. I did this to pentest my own homelab stack. I used the very same flow to hack into a pair of smart glasses I own (not the creep glasses, mind you, but the “wearable monitor” kind of AR glasses - turns out the pair I own runs on a pretty decent base, a somewhat recent Linux kernel and minimal userspace, with some exploitable interfaces) within about a day.
What’s truly dangerous is that these tools have the ability to turn a relatively simple “hack into the NASA servers” instruction into a detailed, executable plan of actually breaching the servers in question. That a person with more than one and less than three brain cells to rub together - someone who’d think this scene is super cool and completely legit looking - can, with minimal guardrails-bypassing, increase their own chance of hacking into ANY server, from less than 0.000000000000000001% to 20-30%. Now that’s scary.

on OpenAI targets work of Wall Street junior bankers with new ChatGPT for Financial Services in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Sep 2026
Honestly, this could be a great equaliser.
Home grown AI models have been shown to be extremely good at market analysis and predictions, some managing quite nice gains by daytrading small amounts and micro transactions - gains that previously were reserved to the coke-moustached shark investors and savvy finance geeks.
If hosted models can bring results even just half as good as those, to the average people, that will be a make and break point for the finance fuckers. Because why would you go to an investment firm who offers maybe 40-50% gains YoY while taking 15-20% of the profits, when you can pay £20 for Claude or ChatGPT and have 300-500% returns on your base investment every month?

No...
You got the second part wrong. It wasn't the "overwhelmingly male owners of hobby ranches" that were called dudes, but, if you read my comment again, you'll notice I specifically said the UNGENDERED tourists hailing from the east coast - primarily city folk - visiting rural western areas, ranches.
