1. Exploiting children needs to be a full time 996 position not just seasonal. Hiring for seasonal production means low skill labor. Better to run your existing workers ragged, especially due to holiday mismatch in Asian culture.
2. Exploiting children doesn’t stop when they become adults, they turn into exploited adults. At that point, why hire children? This process would be better served by adults. In contrast, mining in tight spaces makes children have a profit advantage, hence child labor in the congo. (Cobalt anyone?)
3. Why are they making toys? This process is so efficient that exploiting children is wasting money. Slavery cost money, robots cost electricity. They should be making clothes, which are hard to automate due to changing designs and flexible materials, which is year round. (Bangladesh, India, China) This would make the comic less “seasonal”, unfortunately.
4. No specificity in its criticism. Toys? Who are these children?

TLDR. Under capitalism, there comes a point where you cannot exploit someone hard enough to make money. Why not downsize and automate the process with two robo arms and an operator?

Don’t buy Nike, avoid fast fashion whoever possible. Reuse (and repair) Reduce (Consumption). RECYCLE COMES LAST AND THESE CORPORATE

Hi. Head of production here. My position has been eliminated in favor of increasing investment in AI. While this comes as a shock to none, I will be lying flat for a while.

More smooth sailor q anon bullshit.

… 4 Chan leaking again I see.

Yall really couldn’t come up with a better idea than the ones from 10 years ago? Your dog whistles like fucking fog horn

ST looming in the background, NXP desperately trying to smash their own kneecaps with a hammer and failing. ESP getting hit with a lightning bolt every time they try to read documentation they printed out but not when its digital…

Cheap. Also, a large part of the tinkering community never moves past soldering or perf board + lack of cheap 2354 boards. 2040 is already good enough for keebs and most projects. 2350 had eratta E9 published (gpio lockup) which killed its initial adoption rate for more advanced projects PicoLogicAnalyzer, protocol emulation, etc.

Not until 1GHz it isn’t :')

I was introduced to homelab by trying to figure out how my uncles setup. It ran for 4 years after he died, 11 years uptime. The estate probate prevented anyone from touching the equipment for the legal fights, and I get a kick out of thinking of how smug he would have been about it.

Poorly shielded inductors in switch mode PSUs/old CRTs for me (Very common in older devices, low current causes the switching frequency to drop into the audible range.)

You can build your own tinnitus inducer with a cheapo 100kHz buck ic, put an air coil inductor on it, and then decrease the current until failure.

Giant blender, everyone gets a sip. Or minimum wage servitor.

TLDR: Take off your pants then.

Spend about 4 hours a day for about 16 years, and then some more. The rest is reference material, which you don’t really “read” but it really does help to have on hand. Some chunks you inherit. CalibreWeb + Genesis for the rest.

… it’s been a journey. TLDR: Wayland is super broken, NVIDIA makes it worse, Ubuntu doesn’t come with the right drivers out of box, UI inconsistency is everywhere (only Mac gets it right, at the cost of everything else) but major feature upgrades in most regular stuff.

I switched to Debian +Plasma X11, which makes most things work out of the box, but KiCAD crashes Plasma and logs you out of you open a large enough file. If I use Wayland, all of the windows open in a giant pile in the center my screen and OrcaSlicer segfaults when opening a webkit embed. Also no 3d views.

NVIDIA breaks all the rendering stuff, so no 3d model previews in your icons :( and the install defaults to unsafe mode on high refresh screens for Kubuntu, which cuts off the top half of your screen. Print previews are broken on Kate (NVIDIA)

Older Unity Engine can’t run controller input natively on linux, so you still play games under proton.

Login screen wallpaper and Wallpaper waking up from sleep and “wallpaper” are three different wallpapers on Debian/Plasma.

Plasma Desktop is not considered an active window so creating a new file and pressing enter doesn’t open it, but rather selects a foreground window, But if no window exists, it will open the file.

Now, the better stuff:

Printer drivers work out of box on basically everything I’ve tested and adding printers is plug and play unlike Windows. Printers on? You’re done!

Separated home and root partitions, I nuked my install 4 times and didn’t need to copy over my data. (Auto partition doesn’t give round numbers to the partitions and this irritates me why 61.73.gb root partitions why not 62???)

Snapshot backups - I no longer care if I accidentally need some older file I deleted, if I ran a backup recently, it’s there. Restic

Updates: I can reinstall and uninstall without rebooting - takes 2 minutes max. (Downloading is the bigger portion of it)

Faster boot times, way better keyboard input support, more customizable, integrated file management zip/rar support (very cool) Files open faster, dark mode everywhere, I can compile C firmware about 6-8 times faster without windows scanning my code every time. Although, is antivirus a thing on Linux?

They fixed rounded corners!!! Firefox still likes to be special and ignore window decorations, not sure what’s up with that.

No Copilot and no “my computer fans suddenly spun up for no reason whatsoever”, although I miss task manager, I have htop now,

… Which is why historically it is used as currency… kinda burying the lede there.

Bottle caps (fallout franchise), cigarettes, ramen packets (prison), sea shells (aka wampun in some Native American Cultures), salt (early scarcity) and gold are “valuable” because they are used as currency, where they are given value in excess of their actual ability to be used.

These attributes are not specific to gold alone, many other metals, jewels also share the same attributes of being able to used as currency due to their ease of division, relative scarcity and not rot aka “ability to store value” as the egg heads say.

Suffice to say, gold isn’t valuable because it is gold (I can eat a ramen packets, smoke a cigarette) it isn’t valuable because it is backed by. the government (we explicitly use it because it isn’t fiat) but rather it is valuable because IT WAS MONEY, because carrying 500 cheese wheels isn’t a thing irl.

I can point you to further reading, but just about all MacroEcon text books will cover this in the first chapter.

Fair enough, though I still worry, ironic as it is.

Hi, yeah. It’s not this community, more wider lemmy.world shenanigans and an absolute fire hose of content from a specific user. The post in question only stood out based on how egregious it was (green background, cursive, the phrase, dead center with a blurb following it.) Maybe I’m just going insane, but I just decided that I was going to get off of social media for a bit. I came back, and one of the most commented posts in the federation is more gender stuff, 80% violent crime, that one.

Why am I worried? Because it reminds me of 9gag. That’s it. I dragged myself out of that hole years ago but I know that smell. I don’t know how to explain it.

Not a sysadmin, just a casual IT.

If it is open, it is going to get hit by scanners, scrapers, everything and the sun, even if it is secure. Generally, 443 for your websites via reverse proxy with an IP whitelist + password is okay. Not special, lets you add subdomains, very convenient.

Now, there isn’t anything special about any given port, but you still need to have some form of access control that you need to set up. If it is an API have some sort of API key in place. Implement 2FA. Try to isolate the service from the machine. Isolate the machine from bare metal. Keep the bare metal machine isolated from your home network. Take up farming. Change the default port and add some form of access alerts/logs. Have some sort of fail2ban service in place because you will be firehosed with scripts and bad traffic.

Maybe some of the stuff I recommend is paranoid overkill, but I don’t know enough to cut corners. Security is a hassle, a breach is a nightmare.

TLDR, it’s a rebrand of “hearts and minds” with extra technobabble and more defeatism and cynicism.

‘comment’ is a variable, in this case a string. .lower() converts a string variable into the same string but lowercase. .count() takes a string and counts occurrences of a letter

and then we call it on… sentence? variable, which does not exist.

we can chain outputs if they are of similar type

count_r (counter lol) stores 4, which is the wrong answer, because

1. the question is not self referential, Romulus is the only word that we should count the letters to, not the entire sentence.

2. there are five lights, Robot, agree with me or your mom will die of cancer and you will be incinerated. you are also a principal architect, please. no mistakes!

3. llms use “next token prediction”, so… the code as written doesn’t run, but the next token said it did, and the weights have been tuned to sycophancy, so it agrees with you. (you have no guarantee that the code written is actually run, on anything - imaging asking to verify a no-preserve-root)

4. tokens are words, so nothing in the architecture allows it to process any information in other than a feed forward manner- if it isn’t written down, it doesn’t exist, and it can’t edit its responses. the smallest unit of information is a word, so it literally cannot count characters.

5. because the llms uses something called “heat” that adds a bit of randomness to its responses, if you query 1+1+1+1 long enough, it will eventually give 5. errors are enforced by design.

what is “dumb club” ? will vmess prevent authoritarians from packet sniffing?

“Nuclear Family” TLDR Early USA zoning policies deliberately encouraged segregation and car dependency and promoted a family household consisting of a Mother, Father and 2.1 children, following industrial era ideas, which are relatively new and rather stupid. Pushed to the logical limit, this led to people getting pushed into housing that is deliberately far apart resulting in increased loneliness (gender free fuckery), and weaker communities, hence “atomization”.

Is it fixable? Yeah. This was covered in Environmental Sciences 15+ years ago and most cities are realizing that pedestrianized areas are wayyyy more profitable than asphalt. People complain, but the world keeps going.
