Even just one of the smaller models is good enough for the grunt work I use them for 90% of the time. Currently doing most of my home hobby projects with OpenCode Go and Qwen 3.7 Plus, it's not great at diagnosing issues in the code, b

I think you're missing the point OP was making. He's saying it's profitable but not optimal, those who recognised that quickly outstripped the slave owners in wealth. I could ask you about your spending habits and why you don

This reeks of the start of enshittification. Very doubtful it was a "test"

I'm working on moving as much as possible to self hosted options. Have forgejo, Authentik and Nextcloud set up so far. Slowly finding alternatives for things, I think my next goal is Nostr

I think it's awesome that AI is enabling this. I think the the future of software engineering is in helping make this kind of thing resilient and removing the fragility that AI generated code always seems to inject

I miss the decentralized web and phpBB forums. If you didn't like one community, it was super easy to find one you did.

I always liked reading about it in uni in the mid-late 00s. It made me feel smart in my OS tutorials when I could rattle off all the design choices and how they differed from Linux and Windows

My observations match this. I can get fresh things done very quickly, but when I start getting into the weeds I eventually get too frustrated with babysitting the LLM to keep using it.

Last place I worked had long running end to end tests that would take 30 minutes on GHA (compared to maybe 5 locally) on every PR. This is going to make that a very expensive endeavour

Amazing that we can propagandise people for decades to accept cultural relativism and then expect people to get upset over this.

In an era where the working poor are struggling to buy groceries and pay rent, these clowns want government money to make a better chat bot. What a complete circus.

Yeah, had no luck getting windows tools running. I'm only an amateur mixer thank God, but I found this list a while ago and have been having mixed success here and there https://github.com/alex-tee/lv2-plugins-ulti

I've been full-time Linux again for about 12 months, gaming isn't my main problem anymore. I think the only thing I'm having a bit of difficulty with is trying to get Jedi Knight working without crashing my entire computer. B

I recently went back to full time Linux and the gaming aspect is fine with my RTX-3090. I don't really play anything like COD or Battlefield with all the invasive anticheat though, so your mileage may vary

We use paper in Australia and generally have a result by the next day (2010 being an exception due to hung parliament). We also have a very strict chain of ownership and auditible vote counts ledgers, if they're really looking for anti

The best disinfectant is sunlight. I'm similarly appalled by some of the behaviour after a certain political activist was murdered, but I don't want them to get banned or deplatformed. I'm hoping what we're seeing here i

I'm unsurprised by that. I'm really hoping it quickly improves now that more people are using it

Why would we defend the rights of someone that refuses to defend ours?

Great. Now let's see them enforce it.

Agreed. One of my mentors early on was a self taught engineer and honestly I'd trust him a lot more than some of the engineers with degrees

The entire American political establishment has been on a worrying slide to authoritarianism for most of my life. I remember the flow over here in Australia after 9/11, and the threats that were made on the public if they didn't g

I was told it was just voted out last time. That's how it works, right? Just vote your way out of dictatorship?

It's probably more of a "I don't like Brendan Eich" thing, but the maintainer can't really say that without sounding unhinged. Then again, I actively go out of my way to be toxic on the internet, so maybe they have

It's telling that culture will instantly lump anyone successful into the "white" category. I feel like this diversity drive was broken from the start
