TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 12th April 2026English
2·1 day agoI still laugh every time I see that this is what qualifies as proper “tuning” and “security controls” for these things.
I had hoped that with the whole “agent” push that we would start seeing more sane usage, like having AI be a fuzzy logic step in a chain of formal logic and existing deterministic tools, but the cult still has people treating them like reliable second brains. They’re used as the baseline fucking orchestrator rather than anywhere they might make a bit of sense.

4·1 day agoWow, sounds like they just automated “shitty infosec teams that only forward scanner output without evaluating it” out of a job. Holy shit they were right that AI was coming for jobs!

6·1 day agoMy workplace doesn’t have much in terms of workloads running in Azure, but even just interacting mostly with Entra, Exchange Online, SSO, and some automated account provisioning: It is insane just how many rules and practices have built up around the unreliabilty and non-reproducable but still frequently occurring issues.
Boss warned me that licensing can take up to 48 hours to take effect in his experience. But I’d been living in it for a week and changes were effectively immediate. Until they just weren’t.
One of our processes regular took an hour for Azure to complete its part. It was this way for years. Suddenly it started sporadically taking up to four hours with no discernable pattern, so now we set the following steps to run four hours later.
Audit logs that don’t actually show you what you’re looking for, and instead show impossible situations like an automated Microsoft process granting a user their Office license a full month after they’d already had it. But the logs don’t show the initial license assignment, even though they’ve been using that functionality this whole time and the license has shown as applied to them the whole time.
And more cases of completely missing basic fucking functionality than I could ever fucking recall.
Why the fuck can’t I discern between a user who has a license assigned directly and through a group, and a user who just has the license through the group only? Through the API it is impossible. In the web UI, it indicates the multiple sources of the license correctly. But only most of the time. Sometimes it displays the info wrong.
Arg. Sorry for the rant. Azure has been a pain in my ass since I first started studying certs for it.

2·1 day agoIf you had sent me this 5 years ago I would have been convinced it was a satirical edit.
Welcome to Nightvale (podcast) has a plot point like this. “The Librarians” are spoken of like they’re some sort of horrible creature that hunt down anyone who comes in, and most people never come back out.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Dan Simmons on AI in 1989 (Hyperion) (No spoilers)English
6·1 day agoBetween that description and the excerpt, this sounds wild! I’ve gotta pick this up.
Sounds like the time I barfed out of a moving car, and half of it got sucked back in through the cracked open rear window. Surprised my dad didn’t disown me for the mess it made of his car, but within 2 hours he was busy puking up a storm too. That was one nasty fucking stomach bug.

8·1 day agoI don’t know if I’ll ever find it again, but there’s a “restored” version of that GiTS episode up on the internet archive. Someone took a bluray copy of the video and audio, and mixed in the relevant fart sounds from the audio of a VHS recording of the adult swim edit that was tracked down.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•[Meta] 🚧 Under New Management 🚧English
2·3 days agoWelcome! Will be back later to discuss the suggested rules (other people have mostly said my concerns already), but for your awareness there was a thread requesting moderator rights of this sub a week ago that may have been missed by the admin that appointed you: https://lemmy.world/post/45162418
That might be a good place to start on finding additional mods.
Can we truly trust the existence of anything outside our immediate senses in the present moment? Is anything truly a thing? Can we trust our senses? Are questions like mine mental masturbation? Am I shitting right now, or is that my imagination?
The shit on the floor had better be my imagination.
Fuck.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•I have never created a ChatGPT accountEnglish
12·3 days agoGoogle’s LLM is Gemini, not ChatGPT, and they have no business contracts with OpenAI.
It’s an alt account too, I finally blocked the original account (think it was on lemmus.org) because the instance admins of lemmy.world seem to be dragging their feet on assigning new mods to this community.

6·5 days agoUnfortunately, according to his Wikipedia article, he died of cancer in 2023, so you may want to add the death year in the first heading.
Be prepared that it looks like it’ll be a giant robot anime but it’s far more about trauma in its many forms.
The Doom reboot seems to do a good job with it too. Green lights generally point the way to go.

3·6 days agoBroken glass or porcelain, but specifically the idea that splinter sized shards could get missed, end up in my fingers or toes, I could somehow completely miss that they did, and then they’d just randomly cause intense sharp pinpricks of pain randomly for the rest of my life.
Like full on panic attack from a dropped glass breaking near me.
Like, I know how to deal with it, but still. Just put on your shoes, some gloves, carefully sweep up what you can, vaccuum with something that doesn’t blast air everywhere, then wipe a damp paper towel over the area to get any stragglers. If I’m extra paranoid I’ll let it dry then sweep and vacuum again.
I think it comes from some weird and intense growing pains I had like that growing up, plus repeated times in school I ended up getting nearly invisible stinging papercuts on my fingers.




















Looks like Spæñgeböb and Patrick may have had a little too much to think. I wouldn’t want to have to report them to The Bureau.
