I would say it was at least co-authored by AI.

No, that is required for rm -rf /. But the command in question was rm -rf /*, note the asterisk. The * will be expanded by the shell, so what rm sees when it evaluates argv is not /, but [/bin /usr/ /lib ...].

You can test this yourself. Run: rm --recursive --interactive /. It will abort, saying:

rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on ‘/’

rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe

Then, run set -x in your shell. That way your shell will print the command that is actually executed. Finally, run:

rm --recursive --interactive /*.

In my case, the output is:

$ rm --recursive --interactive /*
+ rm --recursive --interactive /bin /boot /dev /efi /etc /home /lib /lib64 /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var
rm: remove symbolic link '/bin'? 

The line starting with a + is from the shell and shows which command was actually executed. After that, you can see rm will now happily start deleting files.

I can see it for porn games too but I’ve not played more than a few and didn’t really see the appeal

I bet someone is already working on using this new technology to project arbitrary celebrities into porn games.

Any engineer fighting the use of LLM’s will ultimately find that their peers are achieving more in a shorter time then they are.

How do you measure that?

I am asking because I tried all the AI coding tools (copilot, cursor, claude code, etc.), even the paid versions, to find the utopia that doubles my productivity where lots of people are talking about. But everytime I find they take more time to generate code than me typing it, they rarely get things right the first time, they produce way more code than needed (which is much more to reason about) and all in all it takes longer to achieve something using “AI” instead of doing it on my own.

The worst results are the ones that seem to be correct, but can only be found incorrect on closer inspection. For instances, a part of my job is to write data collection applications for sensors; those sensors come with a datasheet (usually 100 to 200 pages) that explain how to “talk” to the sensor. Sounds perfect for an LLM - throw the datasheet in, get a small C application out. But either I get something that does not even compile, or something that seems to collect data, but configures the sensor completely wrong. Debugging that takes more time than just working through the datasheet myself and program it myself.

This is a cool demonstration, especially with the parameters and animations, but man I hate these “made with <3” footers so much. They were everywhere in the 2010s and my hope was that they had died out by now, but apparently not.

cropping is hard

I only see reddit content filtered through the occasional Kagi summery. Fuck Reddit.

Don’t forget that you can block sites on Kagi.

Lately my 70yo mother has been sending me links from there instead of Facebook,

lol so nowadays it’s “everyone’s parents is on reddit”, like back in 2015 when nobody was on Facebook but everyone’s parents was.

The headline does not contain any clickbait-typical elements, for instance

• Most of The Words Capitalized
• A question mark at the end
• "You won’t believe’
• etc.

I am definitely not older than that Lemmy.

I can second that. The book is definitely entertaining to read.

This repost is so old, it is older than lemmy.

deodorant without any smell exist.

They and them can both be used in the singular.

Yeah I get that.

And it doesn’t need to refer to a non-binary person.

Is it correct to switch pronouns every other time when referring to a non-binary person? Serious question.

nice repost

but if someone installs arch then complains that it broke because they didnt check the news (something that the maintainers recommend you do) then the blame/fault shifts to the user, not the system.

The question is though why pacman does not display these news during the update. Gentoo has been doing this for decades.

they just said

He even tied me up

them ontop of me

He got really worried

I am next level confused, why are you alternating pronouns? Or are these multiple people?

Why does he has very big eyes and she has very small ones

Indeed I am always disguested when someone says “send a mail”.

Maybe this is more common when English is not your native language; e.g. in Germany, “mail” is “Brief”, and “email” is just “E-Mail” or more short “mail”, because no one says “elektronischer Brief”.

Interesting to see his take on “e-mail” vs “email”.

So that might just be the origin of this language butchering you observed; as “email” means something different in various languages, lots of people who don’t speak English as their first language might have chosen to use “mail” for electronic mail. That is just speculation of course.

That is how I made my fried rice for over 5 years, because there was a smoke detector right above the stove.

I mean it can taste pretty good if you know what you are doing.
