Imagine some future PugJesus type excavating our memes from the archives and reposting this 1000 years from now. 🧐️

Is my supervisor an AI bot? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

He writes out the entire code, and it works every time.

Well, I'm not sure if they're entirely human if it actually works the first time every time -- but they're definitely not any of the LLMs I've encountered... :-)

I'm thinking obsessive about work (never mutes their phone type) and using AI tools. Politely check (preferably in person) to make sure you're not waking them up in the middle of the night with off hour requests; there are some people who feel compelled to respond to everything immediately instead of getting back to you the next day.

Going back even older... Mysterious Cities of Gold. That's never been remade or adapted...

They actually resumed the story directly in a sequel series in 2012: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Cities_of_Gold_(2012_TV_series)

Is BotBall still a thing? They had that (waaay) back when I was in high school, at least.

Congrats. I groaned IRL.

PlayStation has seemingly added a 30-day DRM check to all newly purchased digital PS4 and PS5 games in c/games@lemmy.world

Hmm. So... how long do you think before we start seeing news stories about their DRM servers getting hit with DDOS attacks (or other network fuckery) and no one being able to play their PS4/PS5 games? πŸ˜›οΈ

Canonical is β€˜ramping up’ AI in Ubuntu this year in c/linux@programming.dev

Better out-of-the-box text-to-speech voices would be very welcome. The defaults are pretty painfully robotic... (Try spd-say "Hello world" if you don't know what I mean.)

Trivial to use on-device dictation software could also be useful.

The capabilities of models like qwen3.6 to do things like on-device image analysis are pretty incredible if you have hardware capable of running it -- I've run it on a Framework Desktop -- but I have no desire to expose my systems directly to AI agents. That's just asking for trouble... If an AI agent can fuck up, it will fuck up eventually, and I'd rather it not have the ability to delete my files when it does.

How many robots are there? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] e0qdk@reddthat.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

Probably hundreds of millions or billions if you include things like washing machines, dish washers, automated gates, garage openers, etc. that automate specific tasks. Just the read/write arms in hard disks alone is probably a staggeringly huge number, if we're counting things like that...

Notes about "go: RLock go.mod: no locks available" and similar errors (reddthat.com)
 

I had some free time this weekend and I've spent some of it trying to learn Go since mlmym seems to be unmaintained and I'd like to try to fix some issues in it. I ran into a stumbling block that took a while to solve and which I had trouble finding relevant search results for. I've got it solved now, but felt like writing this up in case it helps anyone else out.

When running most go commands I tried (e.g. go mod init example/hello or go run hello.go or even something as seemingly innocuous as go doc cmd/compile when a go.mod file exists) the command would hang for a rather long time. In most cases, that was about 20~30 seconds, but in one case -- trying to get it to output the docs about the compile tool -- it took 1 minute and 15 seconds! This was on a relatively fresh Linux Mint install on old, but fairly decent hardware using golang-1.23 (installed from apt).

After the long wait, it would print out go: RLock go.mod: no locks available -- and might or might not do anything else depending on the command. (I did get documentation out after the 1min+ wait, for example.)

Now, there's no good reason I could think of why printing out some documentation or running Hello World should take that long, so I tried looking at what was going on with strace --relative-timestamps go run hello.go > trace.txt 2>&1 and found this in the output file:

0.000045 flock(3, LOCK_SH)         = -1 ENOLCK (No locks available)
25.059805 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {tv_sec=3691, tv_nsec=443533733}) = 0

It was hanging on flock for 25 seconds (before calling clock_gettime).

The directory I was running in was from an NFS mount which was using NFSv3 unintentionally. File locking does not work on NFSv3 out of the box. In my case, changing the configuration to allow it to use NFSv4 was the fix I needed. After making the change a clean Hello World build takes ~5 seconds -- and a fraction of a second with cache.

After solving it, I've found out that there are some issues related to this open already (with a different error message -- cmd/go: "RLock …: Function not implemented") and a reply on an old StackOverflow about a similiar issue from one of the developers encouraging people to file a new issue if they can't find a workaround (like I did). For future reference, those links are:
