Hey what are y’all’s favorite *books* on AI ethics? I get asked for recs a lot and I rec the usual suspects but I think a lot of people are hoping for things that are especially relevant to gen AI (as opposed to ML) and I wonder if I’m missing more recent stuff.

This is because it's Io bound.

Tiny Privacy Tip for Application Developers 🔒✨

Every piece of data you
collect on others with your application becomes a liability to you.

You are responsible for
safeguarding and keeping track of every single piece of personal data you collect.

This is a heavy responsibility.

Especially if you collect and store a lot of data.

A much easier approach is to collect only what is absolutely necessary and delete it thoroughly as soon as it is not necessary to keep it anymore. You will save yourself so many headaches adopting this practice right from the start in your software development.

Remember: You can't be liable for the data you simply never had.
This is the easiest path for you,
and the safest path for your users.

Up to normal, not at all cursed home theater stuff

I decided I loved Linux even more today.

I have been working on an old XPS from 2004 ish to keep doing the things I love until I find a new gig.

And it died :( it has served me so well over the years the last years it’s like saying goodbye to a friend. I had not committed 😅.
I removed the drive and using a usb caddy and a Lenovo L340 I was able to boot from my usb disk and continue on.

Try that with any other OS and I am sure pain will ensue. #linux is amazing #linuxmint

Reliance on #ChatGPT is linked to procrastination, memory loss, and a decline in academic performance.

Calling native code from Java has never been easier: With Project Panama, you can call native functions directly. Read more on this in my latest blog post https://mostlynerdless.de/blog/2023/12/11/from-c-to-java-code-using-panama/

It's always hilarious when a thread that starts out as "musl has a bug!" ends up finding that nearly every implementation but #musl has a bug (all different, no less!)

Quote of the day: "I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are"

It's official. After 3 months of back and forth, a major medical provider has elected to drop me as a patient for not having a Google or Apple device.

It is unclear if this is legal, but it is very clearly discriminatory and unethical.

Any tech journalists or lawyers interested interested in this?

I would like to do anything I can to ensure this never happens to anyone else.

Does anyone here use one of those 3rd party #ChromeCast knock-offs?

I dug my old ChromeCast out of a box to find it is no longer officially supported and struggles to stream 1080p from my Linux laptop.

I just want a *dead simple* dongle to plug in to my TV's HDMI and wirelessly stream my Linux screen to.

There are a bunch of #Miracast dongles on eBay, but I've no idea if they work with #Linux.

So, if you have any suggestions - please let me know 🙂
