My personal take is that GenAI is ok for personal entertainment and for things that are ultimately meaningless
Were you previously much more pro-GenAI, or am I misremembering?
Luckily it was just a chmod
that can still render a system unbootable 😅

tldr from that blog's assessment:
First, the researchers have a high degree of credential credibility. […] These are very much not software engineers who think they’ve solved alchemy after talking with ChatGPT for a year or something.
[…]
Optimistically, in my mind this leaves about 10% odds that fusion energy becomes commercialized or at least piloted over the next couple decades and Marathon Fusion’s approach for the alchemical production of gold becomes a meaningful consideration for these fusion plants! That’s pretty high, and implies a high value for continuing to research this technology, even if not necessarily for Marathon Fusion specifically. Manifold [a prediction market] traders are giving this proposition (“Artificially produced gold on a significant scale by 2035?”) ~20% odds, which likely reflects the discount rate on a market that only resolves in 10 years, although it also leaves room for other potential methodologies for gold production (presumably also through fusion energy but who knows).

Oh ya, this Gold is Radioactive

In the web interface, click your username, then settings, then uncheck the “bot account” checkbox, and click save.
Maybe because I use VPN. Reddit doesn’t allow VPN and lemmy too
the lemmy instance you’re using does allow VPNs.

I regret to inform you that preventing devices from getting online is getting more difficult: three years ago Amazon began allowing other companies’ products to use their BLE-and-LoRa-based mesh network to get online via your neighbors’ internet-connected devices.
that little triangle means you need to click on the the text in the comment to read the rest of it, because it’s wrapped in a spoiler tag. also fyi you can search twitter without a login using xcancel.com; it takes much less than 5 minutes to do so.
I’m going to need you to drop a source that will take me less than five minutes to understand
that sounds like sealioning 🤡 but i'll bite, once:
are you asking for evidence that lunduke is queerphobic, or that the rust community has a disproportionate number of queer people in it?
or, do you acknowledge both of those things, and are actually suggesting that lunduke’s vehement opposition to rust could maybe conceivably be entirely coincidental and perhaps he dislikes it for purely technical reasons? 😂
in any case, i’m not going to link to lunduke but i just checked and confirmed that (as i assumed) if you simply search his twitter for the word rust you can find many tweets (and i only went back a month) where he is in fact complaining about people being queer.

I’m curious if you succeeded with this approach here - have you gotten your LLM to produce a bash function which you can use without needing to understand how to specify an ffmpeg filename pattern yet?
btw, if want to try learning the old-fashioned way, have a look at
man ffmpeg-formatswhere you can find perhaps-useful information like this:segment, stream_segment, ssegment Basic stream segmenter. This muxer outputs streams to a number of separate files of nearly fixed duration. Output filename pattern can be set in a fashion similar to image2, or by using a "strftime" template if the strftime option is enabled. "stream_segment" is a variant of the muxer used to write to streaming output formats, i.e. which do not require global headers, and is recommended for outputting e.g. to MPEG transport stream segments. "ssegment" is a shorter alias for "stream_segment". Every segment starts with a keyframe of the selected reference stream, which is set through the reference_stream option. Note that if you want accurate splitting for a video file, you need to make the input key frames correspond to the exact splitting times expected by the segmenter, or the segment muxer will start the new segment with the key frame found next after the specified start time. The segment muxer works best with a single constant frame rate video. Optionally it can generate a list of the created segments, by setting the option segment_list. The list type is specified by the segment_list_type option. The entry filenames in the segment list are set by default to the basename of the corresponding segment files. See also the hls muxer, which provides a more specific implementation for HLS segmentation. Options The segment muxer supports the following options: [...]From the
image2section, here is how the filename pattern works:sequence Select a sequence pattern type, used to specify a sequence of files indexed by sequential numbers. A sequence pattern may contain the string "%d" or "%0Nd", which specifies the position of the characters representing a sequential number in each filename matched by the pattern. If the form "%d0Nd" is used, the string representing the number in each filename is 0-padded and N is the total number of 0-padded digits representing the number. The literal character '%' can be specified in the pattern with the string "%%". If the sequence pattern contains "%d" or "%0Nd", the first filename of the file list specified by the pattern must contain a number inclusively contained between start_number and start_number+start_number_range-1, and all the following numbers must be sequential. For example the pattern "img-%03d.bmp" will match a sequence of filenames of the form img-001.bmp, img-002.bmp, ..., img-010.bmp, etc.; the pattern "i%%m%%g-%d.jpg" will match a sequence of filenames of the form i%m%g-1.jpg, i%m%g-2.jpg, ..., i%m%g-10.jpg, etc.And btw, the
ffmpeg-formatsmanual does also include examples:Examples • Remux the content of file in.mkv to a list of segments out-000.nut, out-001.nut, etc., and write the list of generated segments to out.list: ffmpeg -i in.mkv -codec hevc -flags +cgop -g 60 -map 0 -f segment -segment_list out.list out%03d.nut • Segment input and set output format options for the output segments: ffmpeg -i in.mkv -f segment -segment_time 10 -segment_format_options movflags=+faststart out%03d.mp4 • Segment the input file according to the split points specified by the segment_times option: ffmpeg -i in.mkv -codec copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_list out.csv -segment_times 1,2,3,5,8,13,21 out%03d.nut • Use the ffmpeg force_key_frames option to force key frames in the input at the specified location, together with the segment option segment_time_delta to account for possible roundings operated when setting key frame times. ffmpeg -i in.mkv -force_key_frames 1,2,3,5,8,13,21 -codec:v mpeg4 -codec:a pcm_s16le -map 0 \ -f segment -segment_list out.csv -segment_times 1,2,3,5,8,13,21 -segment_time_delta 0.05 out%03d.nut In order to force key frames on the input file, transcoding is required. • Segment the input file by splitting the input file according to the frame numbers sequence specified with the segment_frames option: ffmpeg -i in.mkv -codec copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_list out.csv -segment_frames 100,200,300,500,800 out%03d.nut • Convert the in.mkv to TS segments using the "libx264" and "aac" encoders: ffmpeg -i in.mkv -map 0 -codec:v libx264 -codec:a aac -f ssegment -segment_list out.list out%03d.ts • Segment the input file, and create an M3U8 live playlist (can be used as live HLS source): ffmpeg -re -i in.mkv -codec copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_list playlist.m3u8 \ -segment_list_flags +live -segment_time 10 out%03d.mkvIt is actually possible to figure out how to do this and many other ffmpeg tasks even without internet access :)

What makes you think that? Is your news diet limited to Fox/CNN/NPR/etc?
FYI here is a translation of her speech, and here is the video of it.
Her subsequent statement (on Instagram, in English, and which some media is describing as “conciliatory” while selectively quoting from it) can be read here. When you read it in full you can see she is not recanting her earlier statement and is clearly still not distancing herself from Maduro. She is (consistently with him) imploring the US to follow international law and respect Venezuelan sovereignty.

if you only listen to US media you might think so; at the press conference today Trump said “we’ll run it” as if they already control it, and he also claimed that Vice President (now acting president) Delcy Rodríguez told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that “we’ll do whatever you need”. However, a few hours later:
so, no, although the US has kidnapped their president, at this point in time they have not actually conquered the nation.
