me: show me what you are doing.
contractor (screenshot): # rm -f /dev/hdc
another one did rm -rf /var to clear a stuck log file, which at least did solve the problem he was having.
After that I sent out an email stating that I would not help anyone who used he rm command unless they consulted with a senior first. I was later reprimanded for saying I wouldn’t help people.

On the floppy drive I was able to play a ton of games including Ultima 4, which really got me into fantasy RPGs.

TipRing@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube is now AI-generating comment promptsEnglish9·7 months agoJust a slight pedantic nitpick. Given the enormous cost of training, it is unlikely Google trains or finetunes models for individual channels.
The model was likely trained on millions of creator comments, possibly including Russell, but not necessarily.
Gemini has a large context limit, the bot loads the context with that channels comments along with the comment it is replying to. _
They say that, but when Ken Paxton subpoenas them they will say they have no choice. It would be better to use an app that doesn’t store this data server side at all.
TipRing@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•It’s Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His WordEnglish151·9 months agoWhat is really annoying is that there are a lot of really good data modeling applications, they are just in research areas. Generative AI is absolutely a waste of resources, but a ton of money and energy is spent on that instead of on the applications that are actually bearing fruit.
