11·3 days agoIt’s not just license plate readers anymore. They have cameras that perform facial recognition and other identifying recognition.
Your car is in many ways uniquely identifiable by its markings and its model that vehicle with many pictures of it and that license plate are already in a database. If you have stickers, if you have big dents or additions and changes from the base model of your vehicle than you are quite identifiable within a particular geographical area depending on the urban density.

28·3 days agoIt’s always projection with them isn’t it?
I mean the entire product is coded by AI. What do you expect?

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Nashville is furious about power outages. Republicans say ‘woke’ is to blame.English
3·4 days agoIt’s definitely easier to blame others than to actually fix problems.
Even more so when you are an expert at blaming others and incapable of actually solving problems.
For real.
$2800/m total with insurance, taxes.
$400 of that goes to principal. The rest is burnt.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Someone got tired of hallucinated reports
106·6 days agoIt’s a fucking black hole for information. I hate that they don’t direct people to at least GitHub issues or GitHub discussions.
Even worse are the people that have an open GitHub repo for their project and then tell you to go seek help on discord when you open a GitHub issue.

Technology@lemmy.world•Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside MicrosoftEnglish
2·7 days agoWe have ours configured pretty well at this point and it does an absolute bang-up job at code review. It will point developers towards tools and utilities that our monorepo has If they appear to be reinventing the wheel. It will catch common problems and issues that we have in our instruction file, and does a pretty good job of catching bugs and small issues like typos and what not.
Perhaps you need to tighten up your instruction file?
No, no, Godot for an analog clock widget is still worse.
Both are terrible options, but one is definitely ill suited.

THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Fascist paramilitary invaders gassed thousands including children during the Labor Against I.C.E. Rally and March (Portland, OR - 1/31/26)English
8·9 days agoThe law doesn’t matter anymore. They can act illegally, and can exercise power they do not legally have to exercise because no one will hold them accountable.
ACAB is a thing because cops and now non-law enforcement larpers have no responsibility to the law due to a lack of accountability.

AssholeDesign@lemmy.world•We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands)English
3·9 days agoSo essentially these are just more dangerous pump handles then?
Love it.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fastEnglish
31·9 days agoHow would they though?
They cannot learn and do not have memory. Which means they cannot actually follow a “decision”, and remember that an action has been taken. All information is limited to the context window, which is only an illusion of memory. Not actually memory.
They are effectively RNG’ing incredibly capable word generation machines.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fastEnglish
6·9 days agoThey don’t have short memory, they have NO MEMORY AT ALL.
These are statistical word generation machines, that’s what LLMs are right now. They are REALLY good at this.
But they do not have memory, they do not learn, they do not make decisions. Which means they are incapable of cooperation as such a thing cannot exist without memory or the ability to learn, and decisions cannot be made without either of those.
These tools provide the illusion of such attributes.
- There is no memory, the whole context is sent on every request, the LLM does not have knowledge of prior conversations. It only knows what it is provided in that request only.
- Lots of tricks and hacks to make this illusion really good in incredibly small scales. But it’s still an illusion. Outside of fine-tuning and retraining new LLMs, which is not feasible to do on a frequency of communication.
- There is no learning.
- Without memory learning is impossible. Learning requires retraining a model, and to a degree fine tuning. Both of these are resource intensive and are static. And only provide the illusion of learning as it cannot happen in real time.
- There is no memory, the whole context is sent on every request, the LLM does not have knowledge of prior conversations. It only knows what it is provided in that request only.

Games@lemmy.world•Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go aheadEnglish
62·9 days agoThat doesn’t conclude anything.
Are these the same games that are part of this lawsuit? If they are not, then what does Epic giving away different games conclude that this is a false premise for the lawsuit?
Critically think about that statement, it’s not logical.

Technology@lemmy.world•Satya Nadella insists people are using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lotEnglish
7·10 days agoProbably GitHub Copilot.
The rest just sucks.
They are sowing divisiveness through ragebait using sexism as the weapon. That’s toxic, and has been a common troll pattern for all of internet subculture history.
This isn’t new stuff. Same old trolls trolling using the same formula.
Sowing divisiveness using hand waving generalizations meant to isolate large groups against each other is one of the easiest harm causing patterns to keep an eye out for
It’s sad to see folks falling for it, and it’s our responsibility as a community of people to combat it and teach community building literacy in these communities.
Do you want a community that is always at each other’s throats because of a few divisive trolls stirring the pot to get people to go at it using modern gender politics as their weapon? I sure don’t.
Trolls gonna keep on trolling 🤣
Oh look, more sowing of division through ragebait.
GTFO with that toxicity.
