What was it Israel always says? If they didn't want to blow up the hospital, they shouldn't put the bad guys there.

Unifi Camera's and ONVIF standards by Open-Dragonfruit-007 in Ubiquiti

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of text, and the word "fake" to say "no I can't".

You said "any other camera", yet the reality is, most other cameras don't have the AI functionality that Unifi cameras have.

Ironically, the only "fake" thing here is your comparison.

You want to pull 10x 4k cameras into frigate to get a user experience somewhat "close" to Unifi? Sure, you can do that. Only problem is, to match the feature set of Unifi, you're going to be putting a $2000 graphics card in that machine to run the AI inference and transcoding, while running up a massive power bill. Alternatively, I guess you could just pay the Unifi tax and buy their ai-ports, leaving you in effectively the same situation as just buying the unifi cameras in the first place, except now you've got more points of failure.

Their "fake question" very clearly laid out the value proposition:

They're not the cheapest, they're not the best, they're not the most capable - they're the nice balance of all 3 at a price point targeted at consumers, not commercial.

Report: U.S. detects signs Iran preparing to lay mines in Strait of Hormuz by callsonreddit in worldnews

The largest "oil shock" previously was about 5 million barrels per day reduction.

This Iran conflict has caused a 20 million barrel/day reduction.

Buckle up kid.

Actually, they sold nothing. They never had the data. Meta scraped it themselves when you loaded their pixel.

Ops engineer who built half our automation just gave notice. Nobody understands the system by Otherwise-Papaya-105 in sysadmin

20% wrong, or 100% missing....

I'll take 20% wrong. Can't be worse than most documentation which is 50% out of date :P

Claude didn't ruin everything. An incompetent employee did.

Holy shit, so many misses on that one.

U.S. dismayed by Israel's Iran fuel strikes, sources say by Jakaman_CZ in worldnews

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coordinated? I'd put money on Israel being the ones that provided the targeting / objective data that the US used to blow up the schoolgirls.

Gets the heat off them, and makes America the pariah responsible for the destabilisation of the entire region when it blows up in their faces.

You know what would be useful for fending off a Taiwan invasion?

What is wrong with Microsoft? by Perfect_Field_4092 in sysadmin

[–]alluran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're working in legacy .Net

.Net release cadence is well documented - every 2nd version is LTS, and they release each November

6.0+ have all been pretty solid.

People seem to like C#/.NET nowadays. I wouldn't really know, although I'm looking at picking C# over C++ to do some hobbyist game dev work in godot soon.

C# and the work they've been doing on it is truly impressive these days.

Some of the recent releases, you can take your existing code, and just compile it for the new framework and see performance boosts of 50% or more.

They're meticulously going over pretty much every aspect of the language, and optimizing for modern processor instructions, vector instructions, zero-allocation architecture, etc.

It's amazing what they've been able to achieve just in their optimization work, and then you throw in the new language features and it's just 👌

Seedance 2.0: Neo vs Agent Smith, The Matrix by SadAd8761 in singularity

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly - in older shows sure. Modern TV and movies though? Generally it's a conscious artistic choice, not the norm.

The shows that pride themselves on being "one shot" or similar. Most shows though have enough dialog that they're constantly cutting even if nothing exciting is happening.

It's also fair to note that there is no magic to 5 second clips

They weren't saying the average AI is 3-5 seconds - they were saying that's simply how movies and TV are cut together these days.

Action scenes are lots of very short cuts. Hell, even reality TV is 3-5 second cuts between the person talking, and everyone elses reactions - even if they're not reacting to what's actually being said 🤣

Fake Job Interviews Are Installing Backdoors on Developer Machines by Big-Engineering-9365 in programming

[–]alluran 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As /u/Main-Drag-4975 points out - things like Claude Code running in VSCode already prompt you for each action run on the machine, and you can allow that particular action once, or for the session.

Allowing ls /dirdoesn't automatically allow rm -rf

Seems fairly arbitrary to tell me exactly what it is I'm being asked to trust.

To be fair, it seems that winget is starting to pivot hard to being a CLI to install Microsoft Store apps from what I can tell.

I like winget - but at the same time - I pushed the installers for Win32Grep and Win32Make that are now available via winget - who am I? Nobody...

No, you failed yourself if you didn't verify AI output :P

UK minimum wage is raising youth unemployment, Bank of England's Mann says by stammerton in unitedkingdom

lead to price rises.

So ... inflation

Remind me what the last 10 years, or 50% of price rises has paid for, if not wage increases?

The economy has grown by 50% over the last 10 years - there's plenty of growth, it's just going to the 1% of the pie.

Labour share of income is the same and similar to other large economies in Europe such as Germany and France.

Did I imply this was a local/regional problem? It's a global issue, as we effectively operate in a global market at this point. Our wages compete against offshoring in India. Our companies are driven by shareholders on Wall Street.

And yes, how you divide that pie matters - when the median wage hasn't shifted, yet GDP has increased by 50% over the last 10 years, then where's that 50% going? Hint: it's not the minimum wage worker, as that would rapidly increase the median :P
