No joke, yes they did. The markets hit here in Sweden are all in rural communities with very low number of tech workers. They likely order their system from a supplier, that should have alerted them and helped them, but apparently did nothing.

Who uses Canonical LXD?

I never even heard of it.

Yeah sure, but thousands?

I work with regulations because I'm in charge of IT at a small but busy healthcare provider. We're like 3 people who handle ISO certification and NIST compliance, on the side.

Are they all publicly traded? I have this theory that publicly traded companies hire people to inflate their stock value.

Because it's a legit question, like if a companye can lay off thousands of people and still run their service, what were they all doing?

Oh man, we are kindred spirits.

I also feel like there's no point in making a CV in HTML for my website, if I'm going to re-make it in PDF for all the old school application processes out there.

My solution was simply to keep the online CV as simple as possible, so it still looked good in PDF. But it's far from perfect.

I'm from another area of europe with lots of tourism, Croatia, and one trick that works here is to take the town everyone talks about, and go one town over, or two towns over.

Does that work with Hallstatt too? I've never been there.

"this is a game where each block must be placed with purpose"

You lack the hacker mindset if you think you "must" do anything the way it was designed.

I'm sure if they had a bunch of LLM puffery back in 2014 they would have used it.

Most giant Minecraft map projects are automated as much as possible. It would be a real labor of love on the spectrum otherwise, and who can maintain that?

This is a really fun idea, but I went from excited to disgusted in the span of one click.

The first thing that pops up for my city of Malmö is the school stabbing that happened in 2022. They're so rare here, and yet Wikipedia felt I just had to see it.

I'm not going to make stupid feature requests, but it would be cool with a filter for types of Wikipedia articles to show.

I started writing a long rant as a response but I'm not going to because I think it's the wrong forum. Let's just let this post disappear, it's even slightly Off Topic. People seem to think hacker news has to do with security, when it's more about venture capital and startups.

Jews are grandfathered in, muslims are the new enemy.

It's hilarious watching old European neonazis allying themselves with Israel today.

The confusion is palpable.

Fear clouds their judgement.

> This release is a record-breaker on all fronts; it brought in 18,765 non-merge commits from 3,021 developers, 807 of whom were first-time kernel developers.

I'm reading that as many new AI assisted code patches. Not everyone does an obviously bad job at submitting AI assisted code.

Not a criticism, just an observation.

I also think so, but that makes you question the buyer.

Who are these people that want priceless art they can't show anyone?

Remember when Kim Kardashian accidentally took a picture of herself next to some stolen statue? So it was uncovered because of her negligence.

It sort of hints that there's this class of ultra rich people who move in their own stratosphere and look at each other's possibly stolen art without snitching each other out.

A woman near me feeds some grey crows. Before I found that out they would "harass" me and my dog when we walked in the area and I didn't understand why.

Then one day I saw the woman walk her 4 dogs and feed these crows. Then I started putting it together, she has smaller dogs, about the same size as mine.

So these crows, presumably, had seen me and my dog about 2km away from where she normally walks her dogs, and came over for food. My dog just thought they were something to chase.

I'll never forget when they autorun everything on an USB. Good times.

That's good health insurance, I thank the stars you had it.

But we just went with standard national insurance, and the total cost is never revealed to us so I can't even tell you what it costs on their end.

We reach a certain level of cost, it was maybe around 250 dollars at that time, after that threshold they pay everything for the rest of the year, until the threshold resets

Really interesting reading this, because I went through my partner having cancer a decade ago, in a nordic european country, and the experience is very different.

They rolled out the red carpet for us, they gave us everything, we essentially had a direct line into the oncology ward. They also gave us all the meds we needed. At one point we wanted to go to SE Asia and they gave us twice the meds we needed for an entire month so we could mail one half, and take the other half with us, with doctor's notes, as redundancy!

And no we didn't pay a dime for any of it.

But if you don't have cancer, then I agree with the first statement of the blog, you really have to act as your own project manager when it comes to health care.

I completely misunderstood passkeys.

Just came back from doing a bit of research and apparently I can use Bitwarden to generate and store passkeys.

I have been dismissing the entire concept because I assumed it had to do with hardware keys, which I would never trust. But if it's bitwarden, then I can easily do a backup, and that would be very reliable.

I think I'm going to start using passkeys... :D

I mean the desire to trap seems to be among the big corporations already.

I keep seeing major players promoting their own apps over standard TOTP, which I guess could be seen as a sort of proprietary passkey. Shopify, Google, Microsoft, and more, they all want you to download their app for MFA, instead of using a very open format.

As someone who works in IT, I just can't even imagine myself doing this. I have probably around 60 codes in my Aegis, how would it look if I had just a quarter of those in apps instead?

But the main issue I have with passkeys is the simple issue of backups. I can backup my Aegis keys, I can't backup an app, or a hw passkey. I have to get a second one, and keep signing for it or something, not sure of the details, I just know it would be a major hassle. And there is no way I'm trusting a little usb device to not break.

Right now I see no compelling reason to switch from regular OTP codes, change my mind.

You could replace smart with mature.

It took time for me to mature and see others this way.

This is the same as using commands like rm the wrong way. The agent didn't do it, you did it! You didn't use the agent/tool properly!

Already have one, bought from a local Swedish store that flashes things like OpnSense and Dd-wrt on devices they sell.

They could be dead you know. I wouldn't joke around, we're all in the same business after all. I'm sure the SRE's didn't decide who rented space in their DC.

I love getting to the root cause of these incidents. Hate it when they just move on with no post mortem, the rest of us are trying to learn here!

Like the recent ransomware attack on a Swedish Svedala municipality, still no root cause published on that?

Most animals show relaxation and stress through the eyes.

I use the same trick for dogs, I narrow my eyes slightly to show that I'm not staring at them wildly. Even if they just stare back.

Staring is a stress reaction, you're 100% focused on a potential threat.

These AI companies are now acting like website spammers, the ones that used to fill up your guestbook with garbage. Just for what? Fun? To see what it can do? How about you make your own websites and test them instead?

These headlines keep excusing humans from the equation, I really don't like this. I expect us to hear about a Yemeni wedding being shot up by a "model" in a near future. No one is responsible anymore.

I don't think the challenge with speech to text was size of the binary. In my experience the challenge is understanding my 84 year old Croatian father with a sagging mouth after a stroke, when he's trying to write his autobiography.

I just setup Windows speech to text for him last week and it's great to see how he can write an entire page in 10 minutes, it would take him days using the keyboard.

But every single sound he makes with his mouth ends up on the page too.

Yeah we thought about making a gofundme just to drive it home. But the cost was just an estimate, it could be more, according to them.

I find more and more parallells between AI and Google. Google searches have been used in court for over a decade, maybe two now?

The way I described AI when I first encountered it was "Google on steroids", and honestly it hasn't proven me much wrong. It takes all the results we used to find on Google, and generates code from it, so what? It's still just Google on steroids to me.

Don't google "how to hide a body", just as well as you shouldn't ask your AI how to hide a body. Not much has changed overall.
