It was true when I started to work in this industry ~8 years ago. But of course YMMV especially depending on country and company

Maybe something more fitting would be the German unemployment benefits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%BCrgergeld It’s of course not the same as UBI, but something close to it - basically everyone is entitled to it

I thought the main value of juniors was that you grow them into seniors, not really the random scripts they write?

That’s somewhat true (in my case it’s it’s laughably simple though). I also never said that tools like pandoc are obsolete now. Just in my case they are already overpowered and I might migrate to something simpler soon. Otoh i might just r

Here is a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income_pilots Probably not the scale you imagine but there have been plenty of tests.

Yea but that still requires a non-zero amount of time to setup and most importantly maintain and keep up to date. Pure HTML generated from a text file just works and probably will forever. I mean it’s just my personal website which is mostl

That’s exactly my plan. Too burned out on the npm ecosystem. I don’t have time to update all that shit constantly for a fucking static HTML page

Yea I tried Astro but I don’t want to learn their way of doing things, have breaking changes every x months/years and who knows in a couple years they maybe also are screwed. Pure HTML will work probably forever. Previously it was too

My personal page runs on 11ty since the last 3 years and I enjoyed it a lot. I’ll probably replace it with pure HTML soon - I found that I don’t need a SSG anymore, I can just use a local LLM to generate HTML out of markdown files and I nev

The board of directors are also people in power - why not replace them with an LLM as well if it works so well for CEOs?

It’s one of the few (the only?) org that I donate to without second thoughts

Leadership is also a very human thing. I think most people would balk at the idea of being led by an LLM. One of the main functions of leaders (should be) is to assume responsibility for decisions and outcomes. A computer cant do that. And

The problem is that they need to find some way to not only make the money back but multiply it. That’s where the “you’re getting screwed” comes into play - we don’t know yet how they will screw us, but it’s gonna happen

The problem is how to make money from something that is more or less solved.

Yup you you just can’t film them having sex

No I said I have no sympathy for the old white men who hold all the power. Doesn’t mean every white man is in power or wealthy. I think you just want to be upset or something. Anyway racism against white people is somewhat ridiculous

Oh I see that makes sense, thanks for the explanation!

by MidnightRider39 5mo ago
Can you share any of these examples? I haven’t been able to find any…

by MidnightRider39 5mo ago
I don’t want to discriminate against anyone - my point is that you can’t discriminate against people who hold all the power, so I won’t have much sympathy if someone trolls them online. And yea I believe anyone who is really rich (like 8+ f

I think the whitewashing of code through LLMs is still unproven if it actually works for a reasonably complex project and also it’s still kind of legal Wild West - I think no one knows for sure how it will work out.

I often hear this but I don’t really understand it. Not saying you need to explain it to me but what is the issue with AGPLv3 that turns those corporations away? To my non-lawyer eyes it looks like MIT or Apache2 but modifications need to b

by MidnightRider39 5mo ago
I don’t even see them using that phrase in the linked thread? What’s wrong with it anyway?
24.
by MidnightRider39 5mo ago
I’m maybe daft but AGPLv3 doesnt prevent $Evilcorp from using it, they just need to share any modifications or forks they made?

Let me shed a tear for the old white men, who hold all the money and power in today’s world p- these heinous social media “attacks” will leave them crying and shaking

Seems like the most cynical take on OSS possible. Like anything good you do an evil person could benefit from - is the solution to never do any good?

Idk I just don’t see it like that I guess. Never really closed a deal at a party :/ I just get drunk and enjoy the music

by MidnightRider39 5mo ago
Do you mean most people go to parties to close deals?

by MidnightRider39 5mo ago
That’s crazy, you’ve never been to a party?

No I think that our tools to measure and our definition of intelligence are lacking and are causing more problems than actually helping with anything. Or can you point to any obvious improvements that result from having measured “intelligen
