Red Hat Funded a Report That Estimates 25% of PRs Are AI Slop

Reply in thread

I'm lucky, so far no AI slop PRs yet, so I'm in a different boat. I'm happy to keep my little thing going and hope that it slowly dies away with no further attention.

emphasises human understanding and ownership as mandatory components of contribution.

That really the best you can hope for, although I dunno how you can force ownership. Its not easy to hunt down the original developer if there is a bug in their code.

Triple backticks to get a code block, makes it a bit easier to read.

Are you getting an actual kernel panic, or just this error in the logs? Error is probably no big deal unless you are getting a panic/crash. Take a photo of the kernel panic screen if you can.

Have you been trying to install a driver or something like that? Or is this a fresh install?

Why do almost all new cars have apper carplay but no android auto?

Reply in thread

Damn. I like Mazda's, didnt know they were still doing that shit. My friends 2014 Mazda 3 had a built in GPS system, and then paid extra for Android Auto. It was common then, didnt know it was still a thing now. He somewhat regrets not getting the upgrade.

Its also pretty inexpensive to build a headunit with android auto, I upgraded my 2012 Mazda 2 with a Chinese headunit for $200 AUD, and I'm sure Mazda could do it even cheaper at scale.

Open /etc/default/grub in the editor of your choice, GUI is fine.

Look for the line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="...", and add the suggested change to the end of that line, but within the quotes. Save

Then in a terminal, sudo update-grub.

The new-to-Lemmy experience from a Reddit user

Reply in thread

I still go to reddit when bored at work, but to be honest, the comments are all basically the same. There is only so many times you can read the same reductive comments before you get bored.

It'd be nice for there to be more activity, but I'm happy that its at least humans (mostly) here.

Elon Musk says Tesla-SpaceX merger being considered

Reply in thread

I think for his supporters, keeping all the companies going builds into his mythos. If he lets any of them fail, suddenly he isnt on a perfect game anymore, and his valuation tanks. So he has to keep the circus going...

The people idolising him are too stupid to realise that he has failed a bunch of companies at this point.

Ok, attempted to kill init is a different kind of panic, your drivers are probably fine. Did you get that as it booted up? You turned it on, and it quickly dropped you into a shell, and you pressed ctrl-c/d at that shell, and got the panic?

I'm suspecting some kind of hardware issue tbh, either SSD failing (failing during copy), or maybe GPU overheating? Overheating is the easiest to fix if you are comfortable opening the laptop, cleaning the fans (don't compressed air it, that can kill fans, toothbrush and paper towel is safest) and heat sinks, and then redoing the thermal paste.

If you can boot it up, run the smart tests on the SSD to try rule that out.
