Hyperbor(ule)ean Hold 'em
  • It’s common enough that tik tok banned the hyperborea hashtag and you can find a couple 4chan threads about it at any time.

    I think actually believing in it is pretty fringe even among neo nazis though. It usually involves magic and aliens. It sometimes ties into flat earth and similar nonsense.

    You can read a bit more about it here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_Nazism

  • what's your take on SQL style guides? Especially this one
  • Almost every time I ask another dev about their preferred styling/formatting, they say they don’t really care as long as it’s all consistent. Automate something like sqlfluff with close to the default settings so you can limit that cognitive load and focus on coding.

  • using GitHub CoPilot leads to the obvious consequence
  • UUIDs make great primary keys in some applications. If you generated 100 trillion UUID4s, there’s about a 1 in a billion chance of finding a duplicate. Thats usually good enough for my databases.

    The issue here was that they used a single UUID instead of generating a new one for each record.

  • Donald Trump Says He'll Stop All Electric Car Sales (Update: He Was Talking About Made-In-Mexico Chinese EVs)
  • Fuck trump and all but he literally did not say he would stop all electric car sales. He said he would stop all sales of Chinese brand cars manufactured in Mexico.

    Source: The speech linked by the NYT article that Gizmodo/jalopnik references

    The “you’re not going to be able to sell those cars” line is about 32 minutes in.

  • They're getting better though
  • AC6 supports ultra wide and 120hz frame rates on pc. I didn’t see any stutters or notable issues in my playthrough. I’m hopeful that from soft’s next releases will have fine pc support.

  • "Unfriendly" countries
  • A lot of cities in California have problems with hexavalent chromium and arsenic in tap water and nothing is really done about it. It’s naturally occurring, abundant, and really hard to remove from the water.

  • Have you tried LocalGPT PrivateGPT or other similar alternatives to ChatGPT?
  • There’s a local llama subreddit with a lot of good information and 4chan’s /g/ board will usually have a good thread with a ton of helpful links in the first post. Don’t think there’s anything on lemmy yet. You can run some good models on a decent home pc but training and fine tuning will likely require renting out some cloud gpus.

  • History repeats itself
  • Copper and iron are essential elements in human biology. Enamel coatings need to be thrown out once they start chipping. Nickel isn’t great but in my experience stainless steel pans barely shed any material after years of use.

    I stop at manufactured polymers. Particularly when they’re used in applications where they fall apart into our food and the environment where they’re going to last millions of years.

  • History repeats itself
  • It’s not known to be harmful or carcinogenic. Doesn’t mean it isn’t. It’s hard to identify correlation between exposure and harm for something that we’re nearly all exposed to especially if the level of harm is low.

    Companies have also been known to harass and silence researchers who show their products are harmful. I don’t see a reason to trust that PTFE is safe to eat when I have the option to just not eat it.
