You can use vi in emacs, so it makes emacs a pretty good os actually.

One to one with HR. I'm not paraphrasing, she litterally said that: "You are a really good performer, we really want to keep you but we won't do anything to do so".

GPT started answered correctly since around gpt3.5. But smaller LLM generally responds rabbit eggs are around 5 to 8 cm and are smaller than cows one 🤣

To test level of stupidity of AI chat bots, I ask them the size of a rabbit egg, and if it is bigger or smaller that a cow eggs.

What's your "Oh fuck, that actually worked!" Linux moment that made you feel like a wizard? by borokov in c/[email protected]

In the early 2ks, computer were ugly grey box with noisy fan and a hard drive that gave the impression a cockroach colony were trying to escape your case. I wanted to build a silent computer to watch Divx movies from my bed, but as a broke teen, I just had access to disposed hardwares I could find there and there.

I dismantled a power supply, stuck mosfets to big mother fucking dissipator, and I had a silent power supply. I put another huge industrial dissipator on CPU (think it was an AMD k6 500Mhz) and had fanless cooling. Remained the hard drive.

Live CD/USB weren't common at that time. I've discovered a live CD distrib (I think it was Knoppix) that could run entirely from RAM.

I removed hard drive, boot on live distrib, then replace CD by my Divx and voila.

Having a fanless-harddriveless computer was pure science fiction for me and my friends at that time.

What is your favorite hack? by borokov in c/[email protected]

We had big powerful workstation at work but we were denied to heat up the temperature in winter to save electricity bill. So we end up running useless heavy computation on our machines.

Paris Mayor: I want a city with less cars. Perhaps it's controversial, but I think I'm on the right side of history. I had lobbyists from car companies threaten me in my own office. [2017] by borokov in c/[email protected]

I'm a car and bike driver. I love driving car, I love the sound of engine and smell of gas.

But cars DON'T FUCKING HAVE NOTHING TO DO IN A CITY !!!

Place of car is in small roads or higway, when using public transport is not possible. Stop taking your car to drive 3km to go to work, you have legs for this !

Assuming we live in a simulation, at which layer are we ? (lemmy.world)

I think you know the simulation hypothesis. Our universe could be a simulation created by... well, let's call them "gods".

But, if the simulation continue, we, humans, may reach the point where we could create a simulation of our own universe. In which, the simulated people would reach the point where they simulate their universe, etc...

So, as a corollary, it is not possible to simulate the entire universe, because this imply simulating an infinity of entire universe. It is only possible to simulate a simpler, smaller universe at each "layer".

So my question, are we at the top of the stack, or at the bottom ? Which would imply a much bigger and much more complexe universe above us.

Dad: "I don't have my wallpaper anymore on my desktop !"

Me: "Ok, what's in C:\User...\Pictures" ?

Dad: "I don't have C:, I juste have D:"

Me: "WTF ? You don't have a C:\Windows folder ?"

Dad: "No, I just have a D:\ drive. Windows is installed on D"

How th fuck did he managed to not have a C drive ????
