Why? Because of the chat control stuff?

Also it’s mostly security through obscurity. It is just difficult enough to dissuade most people, but not actually secure because that costs money.

That’s true yeah, there is a lot less retail investment in those companies.

What is similar to the dot com bubble though is many “smaller” companies (i.e. not Google or Meta) are buying into AI as an investment into infrastructure for their company, just like was happening with useless websites during the dot com bubble.

The AI bubble is going to be like the dot com bubble I think, but with the world being so heavily financialized it might spiral into something like 2008 or worse…

Not unless you choose really slow hard drives, or stream very high bitrate media. Most hard drives can easily do 100MB/s sequentially (i.e. reading a large file, such as long video files). Meanwhile high-bitrate 4K video is only about 50Mbit/s, so about 6MB/s.

OK I didn’t know that, stupid move on his part then… What do you mean by likely illegally?

I’d go further, you should help with the development. Seems like some people would rather spend hours hounding a developer to implement their thing, rather than figuring out how to do it themselves…

Good teachers can make such a big difference, and it’s almost always in these kinds of unquantifiable, “I just encouraged the student in the way they needed” kinds of ways. This, as much as anything else, is why defunding the education system is so criminal. Stressed-out, underpaid and overworked teachers just won’t have the mental space to do these kinds of things.

Someone’s gotta create demand for stealing Palestinian homes. /s

Yeah or use one of those drill-taps they use to tap maple syrup.

What devilry is this? Written word? Real cultures use oral history to store knowledge!

Capitalism baby

I agree with the overall sentiment, but I’d like to add two points:

1. Everyone starts off as a code editor, and through a combination of (self-)education and experience can become a software engineer.

2. To the point of code editors having to worry about LLM’s taking their job, I agree, but I don’t think it will be as over the top as people literally being replaced by “AI agents”. Rather I think it will be a combination of code editors becoming more productive through use of LLMs, decreasing the demand for code editors, and lay people (i.e. almost no code skills) being able to do more through LLMs applied in the right places, like some website builders are doing now.

Even though I haven’t run anything Debian based as a daily driver in about a decade, I still recommend Debian based distro’s to beginners. With Ubuntu being so widespread it just makes sense, because whenever you search for “how do I install xyz on linux” it’s going to be a guide for Ubuntu 99% of the time, which should work on other Debian based distro’s most times.

In Dutch there is a saying which translates to “a donkey doesn’t hit themselves on the same stone twice”, i.e. they don’t make the same mistake twice. I guess the dems should start looking for a different mascot.

You’re not implying they are racist or partisan, are you? /s

If you ask the supreme court, probably not.

To combat this I think drivers, firmware, etc. should be acknowledged as being in the same category as spare parts, manuals, repair tools, etc. They are equally as vital to being able to repair your device, and therefore should be open sourced at the latest when a manufacturer pulls support. Of course I would prefer them to be open sourced immediately, but with how software IP works currently that seems like a pipe dream, especially for devices with very complex drivers, like GPU’s.

But they do it stochastically, so you only have a suspicion watching gives you fewer ads, but aren’t 100% sure
