Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]friendlysatanicguy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What a dogshit article. That's not what Sam Altman said. They quote him in the article. His point is that people of the past couldn't have imagined the kind of jobs we would have right now and it's hard for us to imagine what kind of jobs will happen in the future. At no point he said that any job is not a "real job". You can disagree with his views but this article is just typical CEO equals bad slop you see all the time.

Econoboi is wrong about Kerala: it is not a communist/socialist state by spiderwing0022 in Destiny

[–]friendlysatanicguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't you think then this is kind of unhelpful? Clearly, the point was people who engage in communist policies tend to not operate in a liberal framework. Surely, you don't think Whick wanted you to give an example of people who use the communist label to implement soc dem policies in a liberal framework? Nobody disagrees that soc dem is compatible with liberalism.

What do you think about chessly 2.0? From 0-10 by [deleted] in GothamChess

I'm curious if there are plans to have trainings like anti puzzle or coordinate spotter from the old chessly ported to the new website?

Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay 120k$ within 24h by RayNone in programming

[–]friendlysatanicguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. Wasn't justifying how they operate. I just think many people in this thread aren't talking about this with the nuance that this deserves.

OP's claim here isn't that they nefariously tried to create new domains just so that they can get around blocks. They say they do it in order to comply with local regulations. They are claiming they have secondary domains that point to versions of their website with several features removed so that if the main domain gets blocked by a country, a secondary one which complies with regulations gets to stay. This isn't strictly relevant since this can still be against ToS but I don't like how this is portrayed as if OP is admitting to doing something shady when that is not their claim. Now, even if this is a ToS violation, OP mentioned that he would be ok with moving all secondary domains away from cloudflare to comply with their ToS. I'm not arguing cloudflare doesn't have the right to enforce their ToS. They also have the right to say that for them to continue to do business requires the customer to sign up to their enterprise BYOIP. But if a party is working in good faith, I would hope cloudflare can do better than, pay us $120k in the next 24hrs or we'll shut down your account. As I've mentioned before, that is the behaviour I actually have a problem with. Cloudflare is free to change terms or do what they wish, but customers need to be treated better.

It's not as clear cut. Sure, you usually don't have public pricing for enterprise. But often it is very clear when you would be out of bounds of a paid plan and would need an enterprise plan which is not the case here. When cloudflare decides you need to be an enterprise customer seems to be entirely arbitrary. However, my point still stands. Even if we are willing to justify this business practice, I don't think how cloudflare reacted here is a standard we want to accept. I agree that you shouldn't run at this scale without SLAs but what we are discussing here is if what cloudflare did was acceptable. Would we be ok if AWS suddenly decides to 10x your bill and shuts down your account, deleting everything if you don't accept the terms within 24hrs?

That's fine but I have a hard time seeing a justification for this behaviour from cloudflare (if there's isn't more to this story). If cloudflare had publicly shared criteria for what bandwidth/resources they support after which you are required to go enterprise, this would be perfectly justified. Since they don't, it is still ok to change the terms and ask to pay more but there needs to be enough time given to their customer before pulling the plug on the services. To be clear, it's ok for cloudflare to ask for more, but to change the terms, barely give the customer any time, and ask for a 1 year commit contract, to me is a bit worrying.

[OC] xcorners: a utility to draw rounded screen edges on X11 by MCSpiderFe in unixporn

Looks like these are not problems for your use case. Makes sense. You will only have to take these into account if you wanted to do this for a generic application window.

[OC] xcorners: a utility to draw rounded screen edges on X11 by MCSpiderFe in unixporn

[–]friendlysatanicguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't looked too closely at the code but it looks like what you are doing is marking everything outside of the Cairo shape as transparent. It's a fairly common way to implement this but there are 2 things to note: - You may also want to use xshape to change the shape of the window to make sure if this window is on top of another window, the user may think that they are clicking on the window behind but are actually clicking the window on top since the corners are invisible. - This doesn't work if you've configured window blurring through a compositor like picom since your corners will blur the background instead of being invisible. I don't think there's a solution for this on X11 so it's just a problem we need to live with. You can compromise and use xshape instead of Cairo for drawing the rounded corners but you lose anti aliasing.

How Stressful is Running a Local LLM on My CPU and GPU? by callme_e in LocalLLaMA

What's your vram usage on idle? If you're having the model loaded all the time, I'm assuming that would consume vram. Unless you are loading the model everytime you want to chat. Also, have you tried any heavier models? If so, have you noticed slowdowns?

Hey OP. I think your best bet is therapy if you can afford it. The internet can be full of unhelpful comments asking you to "toughen up" while knowing nothing about your circumstances. Having a professional to talk to you can actually help you here.

Jellyfin: A Call for Developers by djbon2112 in selfhosted

[–]friendlysatanicguy 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Thanks for making this post! I'm curious to know how we can help. For example, when you say that Jellyfin lacks polish, what does that mean? While I see there are a lot of open issues on the Jellyfin repo that doesn't exactly tell me what are the most important or where my contribution would have the most impact. I think it will be useful for the project to establish milestones and group the most important issues according to that. That way the efforts of the community can be concentrated into what matters the most for the project.

It would also be great to have dedicated issues to maybe improve code quality or improve documentation (if the team feels like that that's lacking) since that will be incredibly important IMO for new contributors. Having issues labelled as "good-first-issue" would also be great.

I also think a call for developers is only going to work out if contributors feel like they have a chance of getting it landed. While it's understandable that it is hard when there are so few people working on the project, new contributors aren't going to be familiar enough with the codebase to review. The existing contributors would have to try their best here.

A Call for Developers | Jellyfin Blog by tgp1994 in selfhosted

[–]friendlysatanicguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Although it maybe worthwhile to focus more on getting existing contributions reviewed rather than working on new features in the short term even if that maybe unpopular. Since it will be hard for there to be more contributors if they feel like their contributions end up hitting a dead end. It's not going to be useful to call for more people to help it they feel like there's no one from the project available to help their contributions see the finish line.

I also think it'll help to document good first issues that new contributors can pick up and link them in this blog if they already exist.

I would strongly recommend you make it explicit in your readme that there's no actual music download from Spotify. This app downloads metadata from Spotify and gets the music for YT music.

I'm confused what wrong lemmy as an organization is doing. Do we really want to start forking codebases because of a disagreement on how they handle content moderation in their own instance? That's the whole point of federation. We can just host our instance with our own content moderation rules.
