What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

Like... yeah, thanks, that's very helpful! Why didn't I think of that?!

YouTube's next move might make it virtually impossible to block ads

I think that downsizing the scene to like 8x8 pixels (so basically taking the average color of multiple sections of the scene) would mostly work. In order to be undetected, the ad would have to match (at least be close to) the average color of each section, which would be difficult in my opinion: you would need to alter each ad for each video timestamp individually.

I think it means that they do that thing ONLY 21 days per year and the rest of the days the other thing.
So 21 days working and the rest of the days living
Vs.
21 days living and the rest of the days working

The problem with (good) hashes is that when you change the input even slightly (maybe a different compression algorithm is used), the hash changes drastically

Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same
I'm probably not a lucid dreamer, but at times when I write code all day long I may also dream about it at night. Sometimes, I would wake up in the middle of the night and write an "amazing solution" down so I can implement it the next day. Not surprisingly, most of the "amazing solutions" are total nonsense.
Edit: If this happens to you, it's probably a sign that you code way too much. I know it might be difficult, but try to relax more please.

this AI thing
Reply in thread
There are many definitions of AI (eg. there is some mathematical model used), but machine learning (which is used in the large language models) is considered a part of the scientific field called AI. If someone says that something is AI, it usually means that some technique from the field AI has been applied there. Even though the term AI doesn't have much to do with the term intelligence as most of the people perceive it, I think the usage here is correct. (And yes, the whole scientific field should have been called differently.)

Those who are using Nvidia's driver 555, what's your experience in Wayland so far? Those who are using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what's your experience with multi-monitor VRR in Wayland?
I had to use X11 before because using Wayland introduced many bugs (like freezing of some popups and the bottom tray). With updating to Fedora 40, Wayland became the default, which, again, caused many bugs mostly in electron apps (discord) a I wasn't able to play a minecraft modpack because the whole screen was flickering. But after installing the nvidia driver 555 (still in beta at that time), everythings runs smoothly.

Yes, the transcription is amazing! (The photo too, but the transcription is just perfect. I'd really like to know how the story of the cat a the soon-to-be-victim bread continues.)
