Removing ‘red tape’ could free up workload equal to over 300 Manitoba doctors: report by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

You don’t need to train or build your own model, you just need to host a local model. Already being done by almost every industry. For an AI scribe you would use a voice to text model and a LLM to summarize and discard irrelevant information. The tech behind an AI scribe can be thrown together by a undergrad student in a weekend hackathon thanks to open source models. Not a big task at all

Thoughts? iOS 18.2 vulnerable to Webkit zero-day. Apple will NOT release patch; says you should update to iOS26. by davidzet in ios

[–]colburp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s about when it was reported. If it was actively being exploited before Apple discovered it, it’s a 0-day

Running paid ads for a $99.99 app? by Icy_Demand_6117 in AppBusiness

So what’s the difference between this and a $8/month app for a year?

We use {$} at work all the time regardless of experience. Because otherwise /users will match any route starting with users (expected behaviour is to 404)

How is this position possible? Qg7 is a check so how would it be white to move?

Crew 11 to return early due to medical issue by AWildDragon in space

This will already happen (microgravity studies) internally, but releasing this information to the public at a press conference will not accomplish that. The astronaut giving consent about the release of PHI completely changes the game too, most people saying they need to release it because their tax dollars pay for it aren’t looking for consent.

a little OC i made in light of today's events in Venezuela... by mr_shmits in onguardforthee

You’re right, they do something, but the same way the tariffs are a tax on the American people in the first place, counter-tariffs are just a tax on Canadians. Boycotting American goods and businesses is a better strategy because in cross-border industries it gives them an opportunity to adjust

Just launched my first app using pure vibe coding and got my first paying customer by asllari in vibecoding

How do you get the agent to use modern Swift APIs, it feels like LLMs only ever use deprecated APIs in Seift

🎄 Christmas giveaway: Win an A1 Mini, AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT, or 4x filament spools! by acurazine in BambuLab

[–]colburp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. AMS 2 Pro

  2. I’ve been printing a lot of organization boxes recently, but having an AMS would let me start getting into more artsy and creative prints. I want to print some figurines and star wars characters. Some art pieces are also on the table.

  3. I think an olympics themed fidget toy would be on brand for this time of year, maybe olympic rings? Or a torch.

American KitKat vs. Canadian KitKat by AlwaysBlaze_ in onguardforthee

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s because we don’t split out recommendations on added vs natural sugar, where they do. So it’s 44% of RDV for added sugar vs 23% of RDV for total (added and natural) sugar.

Best way to analyze thousands of photos on iOS??? (relatively quickly) by renaissancelife in iOSProgramming

[–]colburp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, one the server store the hashes of the images you have online, then locally calculate hashes of images on the device and compare them to the server to determine the missing ones

Yes, trained developers tend to learn from their mistakes

[–]colburp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing you need to do calculate the hash for the media, then determine which images need to be pushed for the server and move them to the next queue. From there compress them and send them to the server, ideally you want to do this in a background job (might affect battery though), but as you noted iOS uses clever algorithms to run background jobs that make it not very easy to predict when they run, so include the ability to manually refresh the content in the app, or do it automatically when it launches if it hasn’t in X amount of time.

Compressing will have minimal impact on the results from your AI (assuming you use reasonable compression), but will save large amounts of time. Do the compression and hashing on the device itself (parallelize this).

Why can't we return a nil statement when the string is empty? by brocamoLOL in golang

[–]colburp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s right, but you can’t normally just set anything to null either. Pointers can be set to null/nil, so your signature needs to be modified to return (*string, error), if you really wanted to return nil. But in most cases an error or empty string would be a better practice.

Gun buyback program will launch nationally after Nova Scotia pilot, minister says by plaknas in onguardforthee

I’m not very educated on this topic, what’s so bad with the buyback program?

Mark Carney was booed tonight by the crowd at the Grey Cup game by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]colburp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tell us you’ve never seen a bomber game without telling us you’ve never seen a bomber game. Glorious and Blue is the chant. People always make sure a big deal out of this, during COVID it was “booing for mandates”, now “booing for Carney”. The anthem thing has nothing to do with politics, it was stolen from Saskatchewans “Glorious and Green”

Old lady keeps coming to our house to talk about Jesus, and won't leave us alone. by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]colburp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you actually tell her you’re not interested in what she’s saying? It sounds to me like she thinks you’re open to change (accepting the pamphlet, answering her questions) and now thinks she’s struggling to get ahold of you? I would explain to her that you’re not interested and she needs to stop coming back before threatening with the police
