I think the unfortunate reality is a lot of office jobs are repetition and busywork. anywhere that has extensive SOP's are a target for reduced work due to automation. Even front line jobs like managing a restaurant have good whack of paperwork/administration that could be done by a program, next minute 10 restaurants are covered by 1 manager and each has a lower paid 'team leader' handing spot fires and discipline.

AI wont do everything but if the costs can be kept under control, or used for one time expenditure to write programs to automate tasks then it will cause permanent layoffs, (not the kneejerk layoffs driven by AGI promises).

This is arguably worse as if everyone got laid off then there would automatically be a cultural reaction and real change would have to be made. If there remains some 'good' jobs then we are right back where we are now, defining someone's worth by how much they earn and looking down on those who don't.

that doesn't make sense in my head, I would have thought the only benefit air has over any other heat transfer medium is that is is everywhere, doesn't make a mess and we can breath it, but I also dropped out of thermodynamics school so who knows.

I'm imagining some metallic sack full of...magic heat transfer beans that sits on top of the cook top and then you sit your wok in

I feel like a metal interface stand that is flat on the bottom, is heated by the flat induction plate the curved on top to match the wok shape would be a relatively simple item to allow woks to be used.

90% of home users won't need 64gb of ram, let alone ddr5. You can run a basic home sever (plex, nextcloud, frigate, homeassistant and all the rest) on 16gb of DDR4 if you leverage the ram sharing that Linux containers let you do.

not to mention dual 10gb (even single 10gb) is overkill for 90% of us, plus no support for HDD's so you'll need a DAS or a NAS for real storage capacity.

This seems like it would be an easy thing for some doo gooders to set up for free. Maybe with a few ads to fund it.

Ok, thanks. Considering no one here can identify the part and I don’t have the skills to work out exactly what it does, I’ll have to fork out the money. I suspect you are right and it’s just an off the shelf part with a custom code on it to trip up DIYers.

I know enough to know they’re making a fat profit off that module though.

hey mate, I've updated the imgur link with more, better quality photos. it might not have been the bug but it sure did short as you can see from the images

hey mate, I've added changed the link to the album. those two both have the HVS004 code on them which you can see in one of the new images

Rufus is one of the most popular programs for writing.iso files to flash drives to make bootable usbs.

I don’t think there is a conspiracy here but it is interesting

There is no way Linus or the other maintainers are allowing unverified code into the kernel.

Do they?

Look at the propaganda we’re fed and then remember that most of them don’t have access to the wider internet. Their own government and no doubt Israel are probably pouring a strict diet of anti western propaganda straight down their throats.

No it hasn’t. People who actually know how to write never get flagged by automated systems. They might get accused of ai use by smooth brains who can’t string a sentence together but not the auto systems.

I doubt your story about your personal writing style getting flagged regularly. I can’t imagine any writing style getting flagged unless you are one of the few who have decided that using the em dash is one of their core personality traits.

Probably just doing the one thing AI is good at, flooding the zone.

I can't believe were at the point of relying on our elected officials to lead the country. truly a black (and ironic) day.

You think "AI" isn't the default, normalised thing?

People rarely click on links in search anymore, they're happy to use the AI summary, iPhones have small LLM models on them, people use it to write reports, others use it to read those reports. Companies implement policy to mandate AI usage even if it's objectively worse.

I thought the real question was "when you get down do it, what is it really all about?"

I also found this guy who says the same thing! That makes it double true?

Direct contact with the foreign boogeyman is incredibly dangerous. It has been shown to reduce baseless fears and prejudices. In some cases it can even redirect that anger towards the real problems in the world.

This must be stopped

That’s how the west got where it is now. The majority no giving a shit opens the door for the minority/nutters to do what they want.

Being “apolitical” means you support the current system/party. If you didn’t you’d be political.
