Systemd is so much easier to use, absolutely was not a mistake.

I’m just not convinced that the technology isn’t part of the problem. All of these machines are designed to give a you an instant dopamine rush when you use them. I think they have a real and detrimental effect on attention span.

How does systemic defunding lead to schools buying up tablets and notebooks?

This seems more like straight up corruption to me, or dumb administrators believing the nonsense Google sells them about Chromebooks being better for learning or whatever

Fascists are feeling emboldened now. Our hateful narcissism behind the authoritarian punishment of minorities and poor people is finally catching up to us. I’m not saying everyone getting hurt by it deserves it, however as a country we’ve been building toward this, enthusiastically, for a long time.

It’s going to take generational leadership to unfuck all of this and I don’t see that happening. We need a parallel justice system that operates solely to hold our bullshit legal system accountable. No one will want to do that until it’s too late. But it’s crazy how we just let the courts, cops and politicians all work together to fuck us over and exact state violence against us with no repercussions.

Kinda weak sauce dude. It’s just a bunch of stuff most of us already know. It doesn’t account for how adaptable people have proven to be. It’s far from inevitable that any of this will lead to permanent civilizational collapse. Though certainly the dudebro types like Fuckerberg think it will, but I think they’re just paranoid, and not as smart as they think they are.

I find it hard to take people seriously when they start their argument off with gold too. Gold is no different from fiat currency. It’s only worth as much as people think it is. Historically it wasn’t even used for anything practical. It’s one of my smell tests for people who have bad critical thinking skills, quite frankly. If fiat currency was such a terrible idea then the whole world would be in far worse shape than it is.

That’s all Linux is though, arguably

Ctrl-Shift-C directly opens the element inspector. CTRL-SHIFT-I opens the dev tools with the inspector turned off.

I never really saw it as an allegory for fascism, but that’s an interesting take.

At least the bad guy gets shanked in the end.

So your first two paragraphs admit that you aren’t refuting anything the other guy said. He was clearly talking about enterprise contacts, not the free tier of GitHub which is completely different.

It’s insane how aggressive you guys are being about this despite having zero evidence to back you up other than “corporations lie”, as if other lying corporations don’t have their own small army of lawyers writing these contracts. Those guys will instantly file a lawsuit the moment they suspect their company’s data is getting eaten by copilot.

It would be an incredibly stupid move by Microsoft to do that, especially because it would put all their other contracts with that company at risk (eg office 365, exchange, etc)

Lemmy is completely unhinged on any AI topic. You can’t engage rationally with these people.

They have zero evidence that any of their accusations is really happening but they’ll insult and bully people over it anyway.

It’s incredible that you all are still acting like he’s talking about individuals and not giant mega corporations that have an army of lawyers working on these contracts.

There’s no way these companies would allow ms to train copilot on their proprietary code. Not a single one of you had provided ANY proof that this is actually happening yet.

Yes, make it hurt EU. It sucks that my dumbass country made it come to this, but it needs to happen. Way too many people here pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist.

Their current GPU is roughly equal to a 4060 which isn’t that bad when you consider how far behind they are in terms of time.

I can’t imagine using a steam deck to do anything productive. If he’s traveling a lot it makes no sense. No one wants to drag around a monitor and KBM when they could just buy a laptop.

Framework used to make laptops with a dedicated AMD GPU, but I haven’t looked in over a year.

Isn’t China already building their own consumer GPUs?

I thought AMD also said they were cutting production?

I found out that some teams at my company are doing the same thing. They’re using it to fix simple issues like exceptions and security issues that don’t need many code changes. I’d be shocked if it were any different at your friend’s company. It’s just surprising to me that that’s all he was doing?

LLMs can be very effective but if I’m writing complex code with them, they always require multiple rounds of iteration. They just can’t retain enough context or maintain it accurately without making mistakes.

Some clever context engineering can help with that, but at the end of the day it’s a known limitation of LLMs. They’re really good at doing text-based things faster than we can, but the human brain just has an absolutely enormous capacity for storing information.

There’s absolutely no way this can be effective for anything other than simple changes in each PR.

Lol. They made some “deals” based on hope and a dream. In reality they are still posting net losses.

By the way, I have the very best bridge in the world to sell you. Interested?
