If an article's text is good, but the images are AI-generated, I've found this is a warning sign for the text being outright plagiarism.

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.

Fun fact: the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer can't use a real-time operating system. 

This is because it's Io bound.

Inno Setup still allows developers to do this via the deprecated `WindowVisible` option. If enabled, it defaults to a blue & black gradient like InstallShield circa 1998.

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.

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

Is it harmful or helpful? Examining the causes and consequences of generative AI usage among university students - International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education

While the discussion on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, is making waves in academia and the popular press, there is a need for more insight into the use of ChatGPT among students and the potential harmful or beneficial consequences associated with its usage. Using samples from two studies, the current research examined the causes and consequences of ChatGPT usage among university students. Study 1 developed and validated an eight-item scale to measure ChatGPT usage by conducting a survey among university students (N = 165). Study 2 used a three-wave time-lagged design to collect data from university students (N = 494) to further validate the scale and test the study’s hypotheses. Study 2 also examined the effects of academic workload, academic time pressure, sensitivity to rewards, and sensitivity to quality on ChatGPT usage. Study 2 further examined the effects of ChatGPT usage on students’ levels of procrastination, memory loss, and academic performance. Study 1 provided evidence for the validity and reliability of the ChatGPT usage scale. Furthermore, study 2 revealed that when students faced higher academic workload and time pressure, they were more likely to use ChatGPT. In contrast, students who were sensitive to rewards were less likely to use ChatGPT. Not surprisingly, use of ChatGPT was likely to develop tendencies for procrastination and memory loss and dampen the students’ academic performance. Finally, academic workload, time pressure, and sensitivity to rewards had indirect effects on students’ outcomes through ChatGPT usage.

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!)

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 🙂
