Can We Nixify Lemmy's Dev Environment? in c/nix@programming.dev

Heads up with modern git you can now just use git clone --recursive and it will clone all sub modules automatically.

OpenAI Quietly Shuts Down Its AI Detection Tool - Decrypt in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] einsteinx2@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m glad they shut it down. An inaccurate tool is worse than no tool, especially if teachers are using it to check student essays and punishing students for false positives…

Even just more generally, people were trusting these detection tools not realizing how inaccurate they were, which causes huge problems both due to false positives and false negatives. Better to remove the useless tools now and work on a better solution, if one is even possible which I’m not sure it is.

What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] einsteinx2@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I guess it’s not so much “hosting” as having it on your home NAS with some scripts to backups channels and videos that you like. At least that’s what I do.

Thought I should make a point to mention youtube-dl is dead, yt-dlp is the replacement and it works great. Even has a command line flag to make its options work the same as the options in youtube-dl so it can be a drop in replacement for existing scripts.
