I still laugh every time I see that this is what qualifies as proper "tuning" and "security controls" for these things.

I had hoped that with the whole "agent" push that we would start seeing more sane usage, like having AI be a fuzzy logic step in a chain of formal logic and existing deterministic tools, but the cult still has people treating them like reliable second brains. They're used as the baseline fucking orchestrator rather than anywhere they might make a bit of sense.

Wow, sounds like they just automated "shitty infosec teams that only forward scanner output without evaluating it" out of a job. Holy shit they were right that AI was coming for jobs!

My workplace doesn't have much in terms of workloads running in Azure, but even just interacting mostly with Entra, Exchange Online, SSO, and some automated account provisioning: It is insane just how many rules and practices have built up around the unreliabilty and non-reproducable but still frequently occurring issues.

Boss warned me that licensing can take up to 48 hours to take effect in his experience. But I'd been living in it for a week and changes were effectively immediate. Until they just weren't.

One of our processes regular took an hour for Azure to complete its part. It was this way for years. Suddenly it started sporadically taking up to four hours with no discernable pattern, so now we set the following steps to run four hours later.

Audit logs that don't actually show you what you're looking for, and instead show impossible situations like an automated Microsoft process granting a user their Office license a full month after they'd already had it. But the logs don't show the initial license assignment, even though they've been using that functionality this whole time and the license has shown as applied to them the whole time.

And more cases of completely missing basic fucking functionality than I could ever fucking recall.

Why the fuck can't I discern between a user who has a license assigned directly and through a group, and a user who just has the license through the group only? Through the API it is impossible. In the web UI, it indicates the multiple sources of the license correctly. But only most of the time. Sometimes it displays the info wrong.

Arg. Sorry for the rant. Azure has been a pain in my ass since I first started studying certs for it.

If you had sent me this 5 years ago I would have been convinced it was a satirical edit.

Don't miss the games on F-Droid!

Welcome! Will be back later to discuss the suggested rules (other people have mostly said my concerns already), but for your awareness there was a thread requesting moderator rights of this sub a week ago that may have been missed by the admin that appointed you: https://lemmy.world/post/45162418

That might be a good place to start on finding additional mods.

Can we truly trust the existence of anything outside our immediate senses in the present moment? Is anything truly a thing? Can we trust our senses? Are questions like mine mental masturbation? Am I shitting right now, or is that my imagination?

The shit on the floor had better be my imagination.

Fuck.

The gamble is if there's enough of these people in the right places to keep society running.

I'm not as confident as a lot of people seem to be that there are/would be. And that's ignoring the aspects of training, physical ability, etc and just considering interest/desire.

Google's LLM is Gemini, not ChatGPT, and they have no business contracts with OpenAI.

It's an alt account too, I finally blocked the original account (think it was on lemmus.org) because the instance admins of lemmy.world seem to be dragging their feet on assigning new mods to this community.

The blue colorscheme indicates it's from one of the non-18+ boards, and /v/ is the one of those that it would fit the most.

Technically you can set any board to any of a bunch of color schemes, but most users just leave the defaults or pick on dark theme for all of them.

Sweet! I just picked LE up and had started looking at mods for my playthrough. These reccomendations will make a nice starting point!

 

For when someone has been doing a bit too much navel gazing, or is a bit too in love with their own thoughts.

!comicstrips@lemmy.world appears to have very absent moderation. Despite recent adjustments to the comm rules to limit users to two posts a day maximum, @beep@lemmus.org is consistently breaking this rule.

In addition, they have been identified by members of the community to be intentionally removing artist attribution from their posts through cropping, and when cropping cannot be applied, through use of AI image manipulation tools.

When called out about this, they have made a post (https://lemmus.org/post/21226925) pushing for a rule change in the comm to ban all "advertising". When asked for specifics on what they meant, they have clarified that this includes artist signatures in their comics.

This isn't a crisis by any means, but this is clearly someone engaging with the community in bad faith and taking advatage of a lack of active moderation. This appeared to be the best way to draw proper attention to this matter.

I promise we're good for it guys!

I'm absolutely amazed that Altman isn't considered toxic waste by now financially. He was declared untrustworthy by his own board, and as far as I'm aware OpenAI has fallen short of every known business agreement so far. They have so many deals contingent on shit they haven't delivered and can't deliver that it should make any risk analyst's head spin.

 

Figured I'd toss up a quick whine thread.

Daughter skipped her nap and is peak obstinant today. Having to "trick" her into following the schedule.

"I don't want bath! I want read book!"

We'll read some books in bed after your bath sweetie.

"Noooooooo!"

Well I'm gonna get a bath, see you later.

"No! No I want baaaaath!"

Just max threenager today.

If you like video game music, you already know this one. But this cover using real instruments is one of the best I've heard of this composition.

Man, I am so overdue for a CT replay. Just have to choose between my copy for DS or the "Plus" romhack.

 

The band has been described as doing metal/fuzz/stoner rock. This is from their album Black Hole Space Wizard Part 2. Part 1 and 2 make a complete story.

Humans escaping from a dying earth about to be devoured by the titular wizard, ship crashes with only one survivor. This track is the survivor trekking across a desert.

Will probably post a couple more from them.

 

Dankpods used 12 computers with different hardware to test the performance of 5 games in 1080p and 4K, comparing the average fps results of the games' built in benchmarks to determine which OS ran the game better across the same hardware: Windows or Bazzite.

Some notes on methodolgy under this spoiler

Each game uses the same in game graphics settings in Windows and in Linux. The Linux distro used was Bazzite, using the version specific for the graphics card hardware fpr each individual machine. To be clear, this means that he installed the Bazzite version for (legacy) nVidia as appropriate.

Each bazzite install was fresh, no copying installs or swapping around a drive with it pre-installed. After install, it was updated using system update and rebooted, repeated until no updates remained.

Screenshots of some of Dankpods's comments to this effect:

There are many comments under the youtube video pointing out that in many of the Linux runs, it was not actually using the correct driver, comments about the experience using other distros, and comments about various potential fixes and workarounds.

This misses the point. Dankpods intentionally tested this way, and used Bazzite, to try and show what this would be like for the average gamer schmuck without a ton of technical skill interested in switching to Linux. Out of box experience matters in this situation, even though it's not quite fair to compare that between free opens source distros and an OS created by a megacorp. To the average end user, it won't matter. They just want it to work.

Prepare to be upset. With this particular testing methodology, Linux doesn't really win overall.

I'm interested to hear the community's thoughts on this.
