Duras and Gowron??

I see a penis that’s 80% charged but pointed left.

When sorted alphabetically, sure.

It is not.

I was using NextDNS instead of pihole because I wanted my ad blocking to still work when I’m out and about.

Couldn’t stay on the free tier because I make so many DNS requests. Which seemed weird - it’s just the two of us using the network?

Lo and behold, the fucking forgotten Roku attached to a TV was doing a fresh DNS lookup every 30 seconds to try to call home and send telemetry data. It accounted for like 60% of my DNS traffic!

Realistically, most people entering as tourists need to be concerned with CBP asking for unlocked access to your phone, which will disappear into a back room for a few minutes while they presumably steal all your credentials. The broader scare stories about detention, interrogation, and deportation are really very rare.

I have some (stupid) non-white-passing family that have been travelling to the US (including Florida) regularly and they have had zero issues.

I would absolutely not go. Full stop. But when you look at the real numbers, tourist entry into the US isn’t down all that much and most people who desire to go don’t have any issues with immigration.

Great now the fucking B-52s are stuck in my head.

This is my absolute favourite movie of all time but I gave up recommending it to people.

The Coen brothers are too weird and nobody gets it but me, apparently 😭

I went to my 10th high school reunion to see what people did with their lives.

The ones who went into law enforcement? EXACTLY the ones you would expect.

My parents have a gas stove and when their microwave started failing, the stove igniter would click like crazy.

It’s just an electrical thing - you’re not in any danger. The gas valves are still manual valves you have to turn. The worst thing that can happen here is the igniter will spark. Keep your finger out of there.

You should get it looked into but don’t not cook or anything.

This is awesome!

I love that they position themselves as identifying music to catch “pirates”. Seems only fitting that it can also be used to help pirate music.

Is that like “I want the smell gone but my cleaning isn’t working”? Or more like “I can’t quit you”?

This sounds so fun. And overwhelming. Truly the hallmarks of a major personal project!

There might be a way to use technology to help with some of the song ID.

MusicBrainz Picard is a free service with apps and an API you can call to identify a sonic fingerprint of a song. It might be able to help you, but I don’t know if the audio artifacts you’re cleaning up would interfere with the matching.

There’s also apps like SoundHound and Pandora that were all the rage. They are half decent at identifying songs even with a lot of background noise, so they might have some extra processing that does a better job.

But that all assumes you’ve already separated all the recordings into individual tracks…

Too bad DI.FM didn’t publish their track lists. That would have made life easier!

Your country must have some awesome nicknames for that government agency.

I think they’ve now spent so much money that it’s their first and second septic system.

Yes and it’s a giant bottleneck.

What’s depressing is that the AI agents are actually way better than humans at catching weird edge cases that are easy to overlook. So the AI code reviews are actually super valuable.

But it’s still an LLM and still doesn’t understand anything and can’t be accountable, so humans are still in the picture and that slows everything down.

All that, I think, is fine. The true problem I’m seeing is that reviewers are starting to get lazy and sign off on things because the AI gave it a pass.

I think it’s fine to lean on the AI to catch weird race conditions. It’s less fine to blindly accept that 2 lines of code requires a 12 line comment explaining a bunch of bullshit about what the code used to do.

Standards are dropping. It feels like a race: will developers become incompetently lazy before the AI is actually good enough to do their old jobs?

That’s very specific and you will probably struggle to find enough people on Lemmy to get solid answers.

The biggest community I know of is !parenting@lemmy.world (and there’s a few generic parenting ones on other instances), but it’s still very quiet.

Hate to say it, but for your specific topic you will probably have better luck on Reddit.

I think of those people the same way they think of me when I say “what’s that? Is that a sports team? I don’t care about any of that.”

I call it slop when it was generated by AI and not carefully reviewed (and probably tweaked) by a human that understands the output.

Code written not by a software developer? Slop.

Code written by a software developer that just shipped it without understanding it? Slop.

Code written by a software developer that went through subsequent review, testing, and adjustment? “AI-assisted”, maybe?

Replace code with any other industry and the same principle applies.

I generally equate slop with human laziness, even though the actual “quality” of the slop still varies.
