2 life pro tips in one meme!
  • I've been eating gluten free for 15+ years now, and it's gotten so much easier now. Though the food definitely costs more if you want any sort of grains.

    When I was diagnosed I had basically no symptoms (my mom was also diagnosed). Now if I eat gluten I'll end up feeling similar to a hangover. It's amazing what your body can get used to if you're eating it constantly.

    Now that I've been eating gluten free, several of my other food sensitivities and allergies have become more mild or gone away entirely. Milk was a big one when I was younger (tested negative for lactose, but the milk proteins can look similar to gluten to your immune system).

    "participants who had access to an AI assistant wrote significantly less secure code" and "were also more likely to believe they wrote secure code" - 2023 Stanford University study published at CCS23
  • One or two models have increased in accuracy. Meanwhile all the grifters have caught on and there's 1000x more AI companies out there that are just reselling ChatGPT with some new paint.

    What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?
  • A Raspberry PI should be fine for direct play, but it doesn't really have the processing power to transcode. Check to see which mode you're in.

    If you want the ability to live transcode, you'd probably have better luck with an old laptop or PC with a dedicated GPU (Even the lowest end ones have the same video encoding hardware in each generation, I use a GTX 1050).

    The real culprit behind all fascist movements
  • Seize who's assets exactly? The second you draw a line and say anyone on the other side has fewer rights than you, you're falling right in line with those same right-wing policies.

    There is no way to define a law against "right-wingers" that doesn't infringe on basic rights like freedom of opinion and freedom from discrimination. You can't punish people for being part of a group. You need to point to something specific that each individual has done that is illegal before prosecuting. Anything less and society will break down into fascism.

  • Surprising, since Lex Luthor was often portrayed as a wealthy billionaire.

    There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.
  • It's not "proper gaming" unless your 1000W water cooled gaming rig is heating up your entire room to 100°, just to show you the latest in ray traced puddles /s

  • That's the 512gb version even. You can get the 64gb version for $296 right now, which is a great deal. Upgrading the SSD later is pretty easy too.

  • You can still install whatever OS you want on it, unlike a PS5. It would be nice if you could get into desktop mode without signing in once, but that's not the end of the world. You need a Steam account to even buy it in the first place, and they're not tracking you nearly as much as say Microsoft.

    Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands With AI, Then Making $10 Million by Listening to Their Songs With Bots
  • I've never heard of someone being arrested for breaching ToS though. They could be sued for breach of contract, but that's it. So far the only thing I could think of is if the bots were illegally acquired by hacking devices or something. There's nothing illegal about paying for a server and having it download free Spotify streams.

  • Exactly, I don't think there was anything illegal here. At best it's breach of contract with Spotify or whoever, and they could get sued. MAYBE there's some interpretation of fraud that could apply? But it's not like he sold anything and misrepresented it.

    Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.
  • I've seen Luke talk about it a little, and at least during the clips I watched, Github wasn't mentioned. If he specifically says somewhere he's only looking for open source coding projects, then sure, that's a little unreasonable.

    More generally though, there are plenty of hobbies you can talk to an employer about that could show "passion" without being programming. Personally I enjoy working on my own car, and I've talked about that before as a side project in interviews. If your hobbies require any skill at all, and aren't just "turn your brain off and watch YouTube", it will help you in just about any job. And from what I've heard from LTT, they're not really any different.

  • I have not once said anything about programming in this discussion. The side project could be knitting for all I care. I specifically said it's not important if the side projects are directly related to your job.

    Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing
  • I'm not sure I would call Bose snake oil, but the audiophile space certainly is full of it. On the one hand, you've got overpriced equipment that's not very good value but works, and on the other you've got literal scams like gold plated fiber optics and "audiophile-grade" network switches that are literally incapable of changing the quality of your audio because the signals are digital and have error correction, so it will either work or it won't. Placebo effect + choice-supportive bias are enough to get these things positive reviews though.

    Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing
  • I haven't had it randomly disconnect, but I certainly have had my headphones randomly connect to my phone in the middle of a video call on my laptop. The crappy multi-device support for Bluetooth is the bane of my existence.

  • It's not a joke. UWB adoption could easily stay ahead of Bluetooth 6 adoption. There's nothing requiring phone manufacturers to always update to the latest Bluetooth, just like there's still not very many 5G mmWave phones available.

    It could go either way. Bluetooth 6 might be more familiar for manufacturers to implement, but if the hardware is different to support the accuracy, who knows?

  • They don't have to be connected to see your device. Just like how Find My Device works by searching for the Bluetooth signal. You'd need to have Bluetooth completely off, so no smart watches or headphones for you in the grocery store I guess.

  • I was on a road trip through the prairies and had to stop on the side of the road to watch the northern lights. The entire sky in all directions was lit up. I was able to take this shot with the big dipper visible.
