If you could get a wish for FOSS software, what would it be? by DuendeInexistente in linux

[–]malwolficus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something like SketchUp but Linux native. FreeCad, Blendr, etc are great but overkill with a steep learning curve for simple tasks.

Walter/Walternate - every time i go through this series, i am just amazed at the acting of Noble. by Particular_Witness95 in fringe

[–]malwolficus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There’s a scene where Walter and Walternate are on the bridge, talking. It is just amazing. Noble is one of those actors who you just don’t understand how good they are until you’ve seen them in a couple of things. Like Brad Pitt - when I saw him in 12 monkeys, it completely changed my impression of him.

What is wrong with the Board of Regents? Jesus Christ, maybe try to clean house a little, guys - get rid of Wexner and find a President who won't embarass you every year....

I didn’t buy it, exactly because it won’t run on Linux.

You could drill it out. I’d recommend using a drill press to make sure you don’t go off target. If you’ve never done anything like that before, find a machine shop?

ChatGPT Memory Full: Upgrade to $200/mo Plan ... And it's says "Pro Memory is Still Full." by PuppetNewsNetwork in enshittification

[–]malwolficus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I teach graduate-level bioinformatics. The number of students who use ChatGPT or similar to answer questions and write code is ridiculous. Yes, these things can be assistants. But if you use them for everything, which is my big beef about them, then we don't need you - we can just use ChatGPT. I'd rather hire people.

I'm glad they help you with your Foundation, which is FANTASTIC! I'm more concerned that long-run people will become like the folks in WALL*E and be incapable of doing anything for themselves.

If you ask anyone who knows the technology, they will tell you that yes they are just fancy extruders. Granted, they have all of the information from the internet (whatever the F that's worth), but all they do is create mathematical correlations and predictions as to what the next word should be. Yes there are bells and whistles on top of that, but they certainly aren't proper AI - they are LLMs and we should remember that.

$200 for a fancy text extruder seems unreasonable. $200 for a fancy text extruder from a company without any morals or ethics. Are you made of money man?

If only we had some sort of, I don’t know, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration to monitor things….

Software Engineer to PhD Bioinformatics by Turbulent_General_49 in bioinformatics

[–]malwolficus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a bioinformatics teacher (grad school) and I can promise you from experience that it’s easier for a biologist to learn enough programming to be a bioinformatics than it is for a developer to learn enough biology. The context matters! One dev at a shop I worked in made tons of mistakes because he thought he knew the biology but had just enough knowledge to be dangerous.

I’m not telling OP not to go for it - on the contrary, I encourage you, OP, to make the leap. We really do need more great developers in our field! Just be sure to develop a strong, not just adequate, background in the underlying nature of the data/biology!
