  • I'm on to you, Kent.

  • Thought I was having a moment.

    Coin Side NCES

    Coins ID Ences

    Internal thought occurred: You really are a grammar Nazi.

  • Is there any non-ai search engine out there that’s still operational?

    Jump

  • Is it? Seems fine to me, I've been using it as my default search engine for almost a decade.

  • Do you think people misunderstand what socialist democracies look like?

    Jump

  • The UK has RRP as an equivalent, but they address the problem differently really. MRP is stop price gauging I think, whereas RRP is there to incentivise retailers to offer discounts to lure more customers.

    We also have co-op's that run supermarkets and banks, but they compete against private companies.

    I think Europe is fairly social in its services (healthcare, pensions, etc.).

  • ‘We will not survive’: Toyota, Honda and Ford CEOs issue chilling warning about China — and it could hit your portfolio

    Jump

  • Renault seem to offer quite a few these days that are fairly small.

  • 'Why does he keep speaking English to me?' Chinese woman scolds AirAsia crew for not speaking Mandarin

    Jump

  • ...Pretty sure it was offered 20 years ago in Scotland, a friend's son was doing it.

  • Not once in my 40-odd years of life have I used a WYSIWYG editor that, once committed/submitted/saved, actually gave me what I saw

    Jump

  • I've just realised I haven't used anything like that in 20 years. Macromedia Dreamweaver, those were the days!

    Jump

  • Rise of the Mandarin-elite?

  • Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat seeking his 13th term in Congress, dies at age 80

    Jump

  • I'm fairly ignorant of the US, so I read this as:

    Republican David Scott, a Georgia Democrat...

    and was slightly confused.

  • When are you?

    Jump

  • Then

  • How common is it for people in your social circle of relative/friends to own their homes? (What country btw?)

    Jump

  • UK here, I was definitely the last person renting in my circle, bought a house mid to late 30s. Feels like everyone else bought 10 years before.

  • Do office going men still wear suits in the US?

    Jump

  • Blue jeans, blue blazer and brown shoes is the norm nowadays.

  • holy moley

    Jump

  • Hear me out...

    How do we know it wasn't a peaceful person leaving a hand written note begging for no more datacentres, when their nemesis, Dr Datacentre, drove past and started shooting at him?

  • Does Scottish Pound bare the same value as (British) Pound Sterling?

    Jump

  • and the fact it is “legal currency” but not officially legal tender (even in Scotland itself), it’s weird.

    The legal tender argument/debate kinda annoys me as people seem to think it has something to do with legitimacy.

    "Legal tender" in England and Wales is money that the English and Welsh courts will accept in payment for debt. So the Courts said we accept money issues by the Bank of England in the follow denominations, etc.

    The Scottish Courts said "we'll accept money, or whatever we deem is acceptable to repay a debt we've issued" - so the legal tender definition doesn't even mean anything in Scotland.

    Keep in mind, legal tender is really specific, so if you try to dick around and pay a £1000 fine in 2p coins - it will be rejected as that is not legal tender. You can only supply certain coins up to certain amounts.

    But anyway, Scottish money, or Northern Irish money is valued exactly the same as BoE issued money.

    A shopkeeper being unfamiliar is fine, they should be cautious. But until they do interact with it, they're always going to be unfamiliar.

    But, this is most likely to get worse as cash becomes less common anyway.

  • Thousands lose their jobs in deep cuts at tech giant Oracle

    Jump

  • When they renamed 23c to 23ai I cringed so hard. You don't install the DB and get an AI, you get an empty DB that has vectors.

  • Finally an honest headline: Oracle is cutting up to 30,000 employees to pay for AI data centres

    Jump

  • And enabling employees to use AI more than the free tier is really expensive too.

    The cost is upfront for training the LLM, then they have to sell the end product to us (to recuperate costs, start training the next 500B model, etc.), so giving their employees access to a higher tier of LLM is relatively minimal cost, inference isn't exactly cheap, but I think they could afford to give their employees access to higher models.

    But, this is Oracle I guess.

    It's too early for troubleshooting

  • Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns

    Jump

  • This sentence reads like Microsoft is the inventor of Javascript:

    Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’

    So there's 3 things, either they meant Typescript, they are very wrong or they're quoting Brendan Eich and not attributing it to him.

  • How could you manage a large number of servers, clients and users the way AD does, in an all-Linux environment?

    Jump

  • FreeIPA (IdM on RHEL clones) is similar in some functionality (you join the domain, you allow certain users/groups can run certain commands [like controlling sudo'ers], etc.) and it's also a CA).

    For configuration management I lean towards Ansible (Puppet, Salt, Chef I think all use a Ruby syntax, Ansible is YAML), and for deployment well Terraform, Kickstart and cloud-init - without knowing your environment it's difficult to be more precise. There's also Pyinfra which I've been meaning to give a whirl but not had a chance.

    You've also got Keycloak if you need OIDC or SAML functionality (for SSO).
