I've got to ask, like genuinely ask, is this seriously not general knowledge? 👇

@aizuchi jokes aside. It's quite a hard to answer question.

  1. I guess the same we develop a gaydar to precisely avoid the danger of flirting with a homophobic idiot, the same radar works for dangerous people.

  2. Gym. If you look like you could take them, usually there's little to worry.

  3. Avoid places where drugs are sold (clubs).

  4. Engage in chit chat that's long enough to figure their mental wellbeing before actually meeting face to face.

the panel found that adopting AI is a ‘voluntary move’ by a company to stay competitive, and the risks of that technological shift should not be forced solely onto the employees

HAHA! 😅 Imagine having less say over your working rights that even in China.

Translation:

We lost a humongous size of market share for forcing AI features down everybody's throats. It has been such a disaster our shareholders have lost confidence in us and AI clearly isn't the goldmine we were telling you it is, so ... we're backtracking before everybody moves to Unix/Linux because it we lose the OS battle we lose the system to install the rest of our crap.

Oh and the Brit usage of "thank you" isn't needed here but will get you really really far and treated a lot better. We aren't used to it, it is like an ear massage for every working person you deal with. Repeat GRACIAS Pronounced Gra like gramophone And "cias" is like, hmmm, like C the programming language and us, the pronoun So /gra-C-us/ if you pretend a "muchas" and make it a "muchas gracias" even better. Enjoy!

For anyone finding their bearings from the airport and straight into the NH building. Take the first bus (4€) that says city centre, it's quite fast because it barely has stops, leave one stop AFTER the train station (you'll recognise it, is big) do press the button or it won't stop, that should leave you on Andalucia avenue with a Corte Ingles with a massive pic of an aged Jude Law and this jacked building visible nearby, walk towards the jacked building, cross to the north side of the road, keep walking towards what looks like a river. Then look at river and then ... #ElixirConfEU

Some random idea came to my mind and I can't shake it off now

Maikel, AI is like Macromedia Flash. It's going to be everywhere then magically vanish with no fanfare. At most it will improve boilerplating code, LSPs, machine translation and summarisation. That's all.

Reminder that you can hate the monarchy and every piece of undeserved privilege it stands for while also hating the monster the monarch was making fun of. It's not a binary choice, nor a football match, there're no teams. They both deserve to experience the joy of deciding between skipping lunch or skipping insuline.

@komali_2 and yes I share your point.

WhatsApp is evil but it someone of XMPP dares to not be a saint, they will be crucified alive.

Change WhatsApp and XMPP for

  • Threads / Eugen Roucko.
  • Bill Gates / Linus Torvalds. And so on and so on.

Companies are not religions. People are not Messiahs.

The sycophancy for products and demands for purity is just insanity

@marjolica I don't think it's hard to be "clean" in the IT industry but rather impossible. It's built on layers upon layers of injustices one of top of another. From the coltan to make chips, to AWS financing the worst scum on Earth, to my window manager being maintained by someone I wouldn't give a glass of water in the middle of a hot desert. Layers upon layers. So this cancelling of Framework, feels gratuitous, overreaching, unfair, ridiculous, CHILDISH. We're pretty much agreeing. Yet on my findings on this convo I learn how bad DHH is, unrelated to Framework though, and I'm thankful for it.

I'm settling for this because they clearly show the prices, mandatory in Spain, but some do try to figure workarounds to hide them, it's worse in Seville than here though. Also because I need a break from so much walking and another coffee to fully cancel the doxilamine. And for fucks sake I have to take my clindamicine if I want to have my armpit cysts healed by tomorrow (almost healed already, got worse all the way to the night then the clinda helped while I was resting).

I've learnt a new thing about Málaga though. The cheap stuff is generally on the street I walked all the way to the capsule hotel. Cafes, bars, restaurants, CeX, a Basic Fit gym for anyone not wanting to break their routine. It's just behind the NH Hotel, the street from El Corte Ingles going up in a perfect vertical line. Not a single cafe in the town centre isn't a tourist trap. 🤔 Not one. I've been eagerly trying to find one since I need to take an antibiotic with food. I'm on the wrong side of the "river" (?) for cheap breakfasting.

@komali_2 As per the downgrade, well Spain isn't perfect either. Turns out perfection doesn't exist. I've been back since 2019 though, with eventual visits to maintain settle status but that's it. Unfettered capitalism has destroyed the country visibly. Brexit is just a byproduct of it. Electricity bills of £300 a month aren't normal, NHS queues that guarantee death if you're in the wrong postcode or with the wrong bank account aren't normal either, and above all the INSANITY of renting in London, together with the lack of cosmopolitism post COVID and Brexit combined made London less desirable than....literally anywhere else.

@komali_2 8 out of 10 times I remind myself of this before going on a tirade against anything @Gargron had done with Mastodon that I didn't like and shut the fuck up. The other 2 are the lack of markdown 😁 @kboyd we've all been there. Just remember last week a well known developer said "ok", and closed a well known FOSS project because he was tired of ever growing unwarranted criticism for something he did mostly for the absolute betterment of society. We've got to ALL do better.

@komali_2 @kboyd you should buy it because they certainly aren't apple. And sending a puny laptop to get support for their users is not the same as a freaking sculpture or whatever that awfully tacky thing was, by a far FAR more evil company than Framework to a known paedophile. In fact there's nothing similar between apple and framework they are the diametrically opposite thing, closed ecosystem Vs repairability. Literally saints in comparison. I don't like their prices, nor the VC funding but, they won't lose my respect that easily. They've earned it with a humongous effort.

Another give away for quality is menus in big in Spanish first AND Latin people comfortably working inside, it's every single time a seal of quality. Big city + Latin working comfortably (not exploited, you get the vibe they enjoy their job or OWN the cafe) + no uniforms + menus in big in Spanish with clear prices + no gammon-face looking people = Decent quality/price ratio. Do save those locations on Google maps and do tip generously. It's not needed in Spain, nobody will ask for it but we do appreciate it. This will cost me less than 6€ and the waitress is lovely.

@BigTittyBimbo@autonomous.zone the problem IS NOT private vs public property. The problem is we're blinded not seeing there's a third category called SPECULATIVE property. You have a home, you use it, that's your private property. You have another home, you never live on it or rent it long-term to anyone else who needs it, that's speculative property. Some regions do well outlawing that third one. Cádiz doesn't accept any more rental licenses for short-term lets and without them you can't rent them. Keeping the license year after year has a cost. So some are moving into long-term leasing or selling.

Not long ago I got tired of Qwen3.6b-27b at q3 being weird at times and decided I wanted it at larger quant. I found this GPU at a ridiculous price in Bezosland, so went for it.

Had to go through the complicated mess of compiling llama.cpp with "-DGGML_BACKEND_DL=ON" and other flags to ensure Rocm and CUDA both were loaded depending on card, so that my Nvidia 5060 with 16GB and that 9060 with 16GB operated as one uniform thing constrained by the speed of my PCIE 3x16 (my mobo is sligthly old).

It worked. But then I tried my favourite toy: ComfyUI. And it uses PyTorch underneath it all, guess what? It's....

And btw don't be racist. Andalucía is the most integrative, humble and welcoming part of Spain. We don't play cool with racism, xenophobia, homofobia, terfism, or any sort of grandiosity or superiority complex. We seriously don't, it'll get you members of staff spitting on your food each and every time and you'll deserve it. If...we don't tell you off to your face very publicly which is very possible. This ain't Galicia. We do switch from nice to drag queen mode several times a day with every injustice we see. (Seville city is the opposite of all of this) Enjoy!
