Vowels are written as superscripts or subscripts called niqqud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqqud . The thing is most Hebrew speakers find that they don’t need the niqqud after they reach a certain skill level.

I guess that’s kind of what I was trying to press with the example I was giving.

I don’t need external validation, because I’ve never had it… it’s like you can live your whole life without adding spices to your food and you could just know what tastes good.

I don’t see how it would happen. Nix is immune bc hashes are constantly checked, you can’t swap in malicious code without a person noticing bc it might throw a mismatched hash error. Also nixpkgs has been really good about vetting packages, I don’t expect them to look too closely into the source codes of everything but if something malicious were to happen like what is happening to AUR someone would see it way faster

I actually did get back into satisfactory bc code wasn’t fun for a few weeks, it really made me miss code

I like Obsidian

I’ve kind of given up on the concept of email as a whole. Nobody emails anymore. Nobody in my family uses email, I’ve never had a friend who emails me, I’m the weirdo for asking for an email address so I can email you a calendar invite because I’m a weirdo for using the calendar…

Maybe it’s just been my experience but does anyone actually use email? And if so what about everyone else’s security?

I mean yeah you can totally do that but I don’t feel safe doing that

inb4 if you don’t like being modded by AI start your own instance

Personally I’m shocked that this isn’t more prevalent.

Reddit was already hard enough to moderate without AI tools. Now in the year of 2026 with what amounts to entirely volunteer-based “companies” or non-for-profits(atleast) running Lemmy instances for us for free you have to get AI help for moderating.

I’ve been working on a competitor to the activity pub protocol and I have a ready-made solution called userless and the only reason I’ve never deployed a demo server for other people to test and interact with is because I have no idea how I would moderate it! That’s encouraged me to work on the peer-to-peer version of the protocol so I don’t have to moderate it at all but still this isn’t easy.

And to address the privacy concerns about who is moderating you… This is the public internet, your data is shared because you share the data. How can you expect privacy in public.

Soundcloud is still great for discovering deep house

This could be a extremely over engineered simulation for discovering medical procedures and cures… think about it if you can create a simulation where everything is happening some of those things could cause injuries or illness and some of those things get treated and some of those cases get better.

Personally I believe we are just the imagination of a large language model whose job it is to spit out medical advice to real people.

I kind of wish we’d get some copilot discounts if we opt in

At my stock brokerage we keep talking about how we can bring AI to our customers but we can’t do that without the compliance dude throwing a fit about “noooooooooooooo you can’t recommend trades to customers, ssstttoooooooooppppp then we become responsible for their decisions guuuyyyssss” (he doesn’t talk like that but it sounds like that to me)

I recently brought up the idea of using AI for trade support and giving it all sorts of tools to access internal assets and help customers fix their accounts or figure out what happened to their order, shit like that.

They’re kind of already is. It’s the free and open source community.

The problem is phones are actually incredibly impressive pieces of hardware and the fact that we can Mass produce them has diluted that opinion. I’m actually to look into building my own phone and I wanted to have at least some near-flagship specs. I know how to design my own circuit boards and get someone to print them. But acquiring CPUs that perform at least 1/4 as well as Pixels or iPhones is objectively not possible, these companies have deals with manufacturers for exclusive products. And even if you could these chips are so precise you will never be able to figure out the signaling yourself.

Maybe things have gotten better now that we have ai and you don’t need to be any sort of expert in anything you just need to be good enough at decision making problem solving and communicating to acquire the skills and knowledge to work on these chips. And by the time you’ve done all the work and acquired all the hardware you might have spent close to 3 to 5K on a device you could have just bought for $800. All for what, to circumvent privacy breaches that should be illegal in the first place?

And that’s the root problem we’re trying to solve. Another symptom of these companies being able to engage in the bad behavior that they do is that they gain the ability to overvalue themselves. There should be no safety or privacy concern when engaging in the purchase of any device for the same reason that people should not fear food poisoning every time they go to the grocery store.

That’s what the regulators are for. This is a legal issue not a technical one.

But the only underlying cause for why we’re not regulating tech companies is because fear of privacy violations is not reducing market activity. Apparently people are still going to use their phones even if their phones are listening to them having private conversations. Apparently people will still buy shit off of their phones even if their phones are going to use that data to show them ads.

Apparently the harm of your privacy being breached does not hurt enough to prevent you from doing good things.

Now if Android takes away my F-Droid, Tasker and Termux I’m gonna throw a fit. That’s not privacy that’s self-determination, I bought an Android because I can customize it to be as low friction for me as I need, if my phone starts giving me friction then we’re going to have problems.

It costs $0 to tell the police…

You can literally walk up to any cop and say “my brother says he wants to kill me and I’m scared” and that’s more than plenty.

The way I see it we have very little agency in this world. That’s why I choose to believe in predestination. If your brother kills then he was always destined to kill, you can’t know that about him like that’s not something anyone could know about anyone else. But I fully believe and live by the truth that it is possible to know a little bit better than everyone else.

By the nature of things you know more about the situation than I can ever. And you know more than the other people experiencing this situation. There is nothing immoral about such a state, the correct way to characterize it is “a potential matter of life and death” therefore “the potential of dialing 911”, and back to my thesis it cost $0 to give the right people a heads up.

There’s nothing wrong with knowing better.

Full disclosure I’m kind of suffering with my own motivation issues, I have things in my life that feel small to me that I just can’t do for my own reasons. I’m sorry if I presented the words “my brother says he wants to kill me and I’m scared” as easy.

Hope to hear from you again ༼ つ ◕u◕ ༽つ

Rust is the foot gun, it’s so perfect that you genuinely cannot just sit down and type out what you need.

Recently I’ve just been getting co-pilot to do it

I have an alias that calls the copilot CLI with a prompt that says “set up typescript”

Fuck this

I add a lint rule to prevent using the any type. Solves the problem

You have to report back which individual switch it is such that another person is able to control the light bulb reliably because they know which switch
