Wat? I can’t hear you over the eeeeeeeEEEEEEEEeeEeeeEeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUMMbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

No we obviously need more cheap plastics that will dry rot in your shed and shitty rubber grips that will turn to sticky goo in five years, as well as lowest bidder designed control circuitry with a dozen corners cut.

GitHub Copilot introduced a new keyword a little while ago, “@workspace”, where it can see everything in your project. The code it generates uses all your own functions and variables in your libraries and it figures out how to use them correctly.

There was one time where I totally went “WTF”, because it spat out Python. In a C++ project. But those kind of hallucinations are getting more and more rare. The more code you write, the better it gets. It really does become sort of like a “Copilot”, sitting there coding alongside you. The mistake people make is assuming it’s going to come up with ideas and algorithms for them without spending any mental energy at all.

I’m not trying to shill. I’m not a programmer by trade. Just a hobbyist. But I’ve been trying to learn it off and on for the past 30 years, and I’ve never learned so much and had so much fun as in the last 1.5 with AI help. I can just think of stuff to do, and shit will just flow out now.

So your results are biased, because you’re not going to see the decent programmers who are just using it to take mundane tasks off their back (like generating boilerplate functions) while staying in control of the logic. You’re only ever going to catch the noobs trying to cheat without fully understanding what it is they’re doing.

That would apply in my “encrypted container of some sort” solution, yes.

This is it. That is the man’s legacy now. His tombstone will read “brainworm guy”.

Not sure what he thought he had to gain by divulging that info.

BTW guys sorry I was off the Fediverse for a while, had to go get some polyps removed…/s

So let’s stop calling it “deleted” then, and call it what it is. “Forgetting”.

I’m not sure what you actually want the OS to do about it other than as I said, fill it with random data.

If every time an OS had to delete something it had to fill the space with zeros or garbage data multiple times just to make extra sure it’s gone, we’d all be trashing our flash chips very fast, and performance would be heavily degraded. There really isn’t a way around this.

The solution to keep private files private is to put them into an encrypted container of some sort where you control the keys.

Literally just learned about it now. After 42 years of ignorance.

Wonder what the reason was for so much being in raw assembly when C existed. A basic library/API would be one of the first things I’d tackle in an OS. Move on to a higher level as soon as you’re able.

What the hell did they do, take a shit on his frosted flakes?

Words of wisdom from SatansMaggotyCumFart.

First time seeing him. Jesus. He looks just like him, 60 years ago. Y’all sure he didn’t just clone himself?

Everything’s “techbros living in a sci-fi novel”, until one day it isn’t.

I’m only 42 and I have seen very incredible advancements made in my lifetime that I never thought would be reality as a child. Handheld mobile communications devices that allow you to talk and share media instantly with anyone on the planet, for instance. That’s some literal Star Trek shit. Or the fact we now have the equivalent computing power of all the world’s supercomputers in the 80s put together on our desks. Or RNA vaccines, instead of using dead or dying viruses, we can now reprogram the body to make whatever antibodies it needs.

Why? I’d use the shit out of them at work. I work on construction sites. It’d be awesome to have an app to superimpose the finished plans on top of what I’m seeing so I don’t have to constantly refer back to the paper prints. No more measuring shit five times, just install it exactly as you see it.

They probably meant things like monopoly breakups, wage increases, lowering healthcare costs, you know, things that directly affect the average person. This isn’t going to affect my life in any way whatsoever. This squabble is between governments, not us.

I meant PCBs. I design custom circuit boards.

Haha, I’m still over here messing with 10/100 Ethernet and USB 2 on my home projects. I’m used to bigger tolerances than the truly high tech stuff.

the lower voltage they operate at calls for more attention to be paid to signal integrity between the CPU and memory

And they aren’t kidding around, modern high speed signals are so fast that a millimeter or less of difference in length between two traces might be enough to cause the signals to arrive at the other end with enough time skew to corrupt the data.

Edit: if you ever looked closely at a circuit board and seen strange, squiggly traces that are shaped like that for seemingly no reason, it’s done so that the lengths can be matched with other traces.

I’m a radio enthusiast. I like listening to it at night because you can pick up stuff from thousands of miles away. When the ionosphere is higher and stronger. Especially camping out in the middle of nowhere.
