Good thing we got rid of the modems that let them to vocalise their screams.

I’m staying here, but my son who wanted to become a programmer has now decided to study for maritime officer. I don’t know when AI will take over ships.

I once saw someone call the Singularity the Rapture but for nerds, and I thought that was spot on.

on 1Password wades into a right-wing mess after funding a Linux project in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
Isn’t that a commercial product for which great open source alternatives exist? What kind of distro does that?
And don’t they also preinstall Basecamp, DHH’s own company’s product?
Maybe it’s all just a vehicle for product placement.

there’ll be a dozen different forks before you know it.
Aren’t there already?

on CoMaps: The Offline App That Guided Rescuers Without a Signal in the Venezuela Response in c/technology@lemmy.world · 29 Aug 2026
The address search definitely needs improvement, but its offline route finding is much better than Google’s, at least for bikes.

Offline maps are such a great feature. Every OSM app has it, yet Google Maps still requires a connection for everything.

on New Twitter launches, says Musk's X gave up the name in c/technology@lemmy.world · 27 Aug 2026
Mastodon is not called Twitter, and the vast majority of people have no idea what it is, unfortunately. A Mastodon instance called Twitter would be a great idea, although I think Mastodon doesn’t support all the protocols like Friendica does. But Friendica is too unlike Twitter.

Shame. A new Twitter that supports all the open protocols would have been cool. Fediverse with a name people recognise.

This is a great idea.

on Torvalds: AI Is the New Compiler, Not the New Programmer in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
That’s why you need to investigate and reproduce what the AI found: to verify it’s a real issue. Blindly submitting the issue is lazy noise.

on Kansas Schools Now Collect Phones at the Door – Spends $180K On Smartphone Lockers in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
Dutch schools also generally ban phones these days. Even my kids agree it’s a good idea.

on Torvalds: AI Is the New Compiler, Not the New Programmer in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
Why are you rejecting the low-effort, Ai generated bug reports, Linus, isn’t AI just a productivity tool?
Because they are low effort. Good software engineering is never low effort, whether you use AI or not.
If you let AI replace people, and let them mess with software or report issues without understanding what’s going on, without putting in the effort to understand what’s going on, you’re not adding any value; just noise.
But if you use AI to find issues, then investigate the issue, reproduce it, document it, etc, then you’ve got something meaningful that someone can do something with.

on France's Power Prices Jump 22% as Heatwave Trims Nuclear Output in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
How about neither?
Well, joking a bit, but also serious. Nuclear has often been presented as working reliably regardless of circumstances, but that’s clearly not entirely true, because they require water. That is an inherent issue with nuclear, and one that isn’t always accounted for. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard about a nuclear reactor having to shut down because cooling water wasn’t available for some reason.
In the past, people have often taken the availability of water for granted, but that’s clearly not something we can afford anymore. See also the issues with water being needed to cool data centers. Combine that with rising temperatures and drought.

But I was told nuclear would always work, regardless of weather!
Well, at least it sounds like solar would be a great complement. Again.

I’m not against AI in general. I’m just against using it stupidly. And against using it as a vehicle for further monopolisation and centralisation of power. I’m against the “use more AI” slogan too many companies push.
But use it for specific purposes under human control that improve quality, then I’m all for it.
In Shadowrun it wasn’t demons, it was people. (Spoiler for 2074 events.)
