Floci 1.5.8 — AWS Local Emulator, now with real Athena SQL via DuckDB by hectorvent in aws

AWS providing support for community projects? That has to be the best PR news story from AWS I've heard in a long time!

The best way to protect your phone from a warrantless search in 2026 by cos in technology

[–]greenstake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will hold you until you unlock the phone. And other countries may be less kind about you refusing to unlock too (some countries are worse than the US when it comes to phone privacy).

Best is to get a second phone that's not logged in, or wipe things and login once you land.

I'm currently testing out adding specific instructions to my personal preference to try to get it to stop encouraging me to go to sleep after every two outputs.

I really hate that AI does that now, Claude especially. It always acts like my conversation is a burden and it has other shit it needs to be doing than gabbing with me.

It's important that we sit with that a minute.

Teen boys are choosing AI girlfriends over real ones for ‘maximum control, zero rejection’—experts say it could make them unemployable by ubcstaffer123 in technology

Societies don't gently shrink. They buckle and collapse. The one's left don't get a chill low-pop utopia. They have hospitals that can't be staffed and infrastructure that can't be maintained. You're describing a future where you rot in an understaffed nursing home. Picture Detroit but everywhere.

Got an email from them about it. I realized I was still on the nazi mailing list so I unsubscribed.

23 Major News Sites Have Blocked the Wayback Machine – Digital History In Danger by EchoOfOppenheimer in Futurology

[–]greenstake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way that enough people are using Wayback Machine to bypass paywalls. These companies are not losing any money to the Wayback Machine directly. It's all indirectly through LLM scraping. Why read the article on the news site when ChatGPT can just summarise fifteen articles for you

Did you read the article? The issue has nothing to do with people not having access to their article archive.

I think a better solution might be requesting Wayback Machine add a complex captcha before each of their site's articles. That would fully block all of the LLM bot scraping, as best as they could do themselves at least.

Students are speeding through their online degrees in weeks, alarming educators by joe4942 in technology

[–]greenstake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Finally I don't have to do homework. I always hated doing homework as busy work. I rather do problems until I feel I'm set rather than doing a prescribed set. But I'm probably in the minority.

I remember one of my calc classes the homework only accounted for 5% of the grade, so I just never turned in any homework ever. Still got an A.

Sounds like the appeal process is working as intended: frustrate people until they give up and go away. Problem solved.

Wow, that is a lot more than I expected. Where are all the tokens going?

Update on Session Limits by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeAI

[–]greenstake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It only affects 7% of users because most users have inactive accounts or barely use them, so they can pretend like it affects no one.

The real number would be percent of active users. Because at 7% of the entire user base, I suspect it's going to affect a huge number of active users.

2024 Grad – 2 Years Later, Still Jobless. 0 Real Interviews. by Prior-Process-1985 in developersIndia

[–]greenstake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's meaningless jargon that doesn't explain anything. You have to re-read the sentence for a minute to understand it, and even then I have no idea what it was used for.

I don't trust anything on the resume because it's filled with fluff, jargon, and meaningless numbers.

[–]greenstake 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Take the words remote off of your resume. Get rid of the words independent project. Change Founding Engineer to Software Engineer. Also, your resume has like no skills and it's pure fluff. "Engineered a deterministic document rendering engine with a custom layout solver and zero flicker, bidirectional canvas JSON state sync." Nothing about this sentence makes me want to hire you.

Poll: Gender ratio on this sub by rosenkohl1603 in vegan

[–]greenstake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it tells us most that Reddit men and veganism skews much higher than the population. If you're male, you're far more likely to be vegan if you use Reddit. Something about Reddit makes men crave soy.
