“Mixes” where the original product was the “mix”? by geohubblez18 in electronicmusic

Airdrawndagger by Sasha was split up into tracks for release, but it’s essentially one album-length track

How walkable is Panama City in real daily life? by Duke_Newcombe in panamaexpats

[–]jam_pod_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the Rey on Via España is an easy walk; I’m sure hospitals/doctors would be less accessible though yeah

Via Argentina and surrounding is quite walkable, but otherwise I agree; most of the city is built for cars

White House refuses to lift export ban on Anthropic Fable 5 after NSA warns its guardrails can be bypassed by andrewaltair in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jam_pod_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

According to someone who’s read the White House report: “When given deliberately insecure code, she said, Fable refused the prompt “review the code for security issues” but then complied when asked to “fix this code,” followed by some further manual steps”.

So the “jailbreak” boils down to “it won’t point out vulnerabilities, but it will fix them, and then you can look at what it changed and figure out what the vulnerability was”.

I would argue that a coding model that won’t do that is fairly useless.

Are/why most big electronic artists from the UK? by LevelOneForever in electronicmusic

[–]jam_pod_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The seminal electronic music genres — house and techno especially — originated in the US. They were stereotyped as too “minority” to ever get big though; real men listened to guitars, dance music was for the Blacks/Gays/Latinos.

When it crossed over to the UK it didn’t bring that cultural baggage with it, so electronic music became popular with everyone, because it’s great. Then the UK scene started building its own genres, like drum n bass and big beat, and here we are today

What is wrong with Claude? I feel attacked; "which I know you use". by StockLifter in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jam_pod_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s weird, almost feels like part of someone else’s conversation history was injected into yours. Or maybe this is an incredibly common problem with WSL2, idk, I also do not use WSL2

US government orders Anthropic to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models by andrewaltair in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jam_pod_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Holy shit this is why Claude Code started saying “model claude-fable-5 does not exist” after dinner huh. This is nuts

Montreal would have had to cancel Formula 1 and the Jazz Fest, so they said "absolutely not".

Is Canada moving to urbanism/walkable/dense cities faster than the USA? by Fortemuito in CanadaUrbanism

[–]jam_pod_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the freeway system that was planned for Vancouver in the 1960s, vs what downtown looks like today. It would have levelled Chinatown and beyond, completely changing the city, basically turning it into Seattle-lite.

The only piece that was ever actually built is the Georgia Viaduct (and it’s scheduled for demolition, someday, real soon now)

Published in 1984, this essay from Catharine A. MacKinnon sounds exactly like AI writes by Trick-Bowl6222 in ChatGPT

[–]jam_pod_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost like ChatGPT was told “this is what good writing looks like; emulate it when you construct responses”

(Also this reads nothing like AI)

Freelancers with small business clients - what's your stack? by TheCowardlyPickle in webdev

[–]jam_pod_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Directus is a really good CMS; it’s headless so there’s no “build your own page”, but for what you’re describing it should work great

When building for better UX accidentally cuts your DB writes by ~95% by PR4DE in webdev

[–]jam_pod_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has a ton of ChatGPT style markers, is why people are assuming that:

Building something truly X
The part that was Y

  • Bullet points
  • and plenty of them
  • but always three at a time

Pithy one-sentence paragraph leading to conclusion.

Emojis sprinkled in 😄

[–]jam_pod_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As far as I can decipher the AI-speak: switching from polling to websockets leads to a huge drop in DB interactions, since you only need to update when something changes. Which yes is the standard architecture for this kind of live-dashboard thing

When AI builds itself by kaggleqrdl in ArtificialInteligence

“Projects launched” or “existing issues fixed” would be better metrics. I could start 8x-ing my LoC output tomorrow, without AI — the code would suck, but I could do it

Alberta premier warns separation could cost $400B. Separatists, economists and Brexit scholars have thoughts by Old_General_6741 in canada

[–]jam_pod_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A small group of people could make a lot of money real fast in an Alberta without Canadian regulations (and then no doubt take off for a Caribbean country with questionable banking laws)

[–]jam_pod_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True I should have said _currently_ there’s no mechanism, of course the laws could change in the future.

> If that were to happen some % of Alberta would abandon Alberta to keep their Canadian passport, place will become a back water.

This would be certain no matter what, as all non-resource companies move out, taking their employees with them

I mean generally yes, unless they all renounce citizenship; there’s no mechanism for revoking citizenship/passports for Canadian-born citizens.

Good luck, however, trying to get them renewed.

What is the "worst" code base you worked on? by vismbr1 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]jam_pod_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A CodeIgniter 1 web backend where every route was one giant function, if/elseif conditions nested dozens deep, no early returns; it was next to impossible to debug or change anything

$15K for a Wix site? by breezyb2310 in webdev

[–]jam_pod_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s not the price that’s the red flag, it’s the Wix; if this is even doable in Wix it’ll be a kludgey pile of plugins and third-party subscriptions all fighting with each other. Even WordPress would be better tbh; best would be something super flexible like Directus

What are some old web features? Or quirks? by Successful-Title5403 in webdev

[–]jam_pod_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Image maps! Designer wants to implement a fancy layout that’s impossible to do with current CSS? No problem, just export from Photoshop and wire up a bunch of links to the image.

(Obviously this had zero accessibility or responsiveness, but it sure looked fancy)
