You should watch Louis Rossman's original video instead of reading this strange page. It very much is about actively doing something to change the status quo. But it's also recognising that people are more likely to do so if they&

Is it really a contradiction? Convincing people they maybe should get a computer worked much better if they saw that it might increase their productivity. Techy folks all already had one back then, and Clippy was aimed at those still writin

The person who started the movement (Louis Rossman) was and does. The person who made this website maybe wasn't and does not. The phrase "be like Clippy" really doesn't fit what the "movement" is about and seem

It still left the choice of whether we wanted that guidance up to us users, though. It was auto-enabled to make users aware of the feature (and because it mainly targetted the more tech-illiterate). But if we didn't want it, we could t

Clippy was very easy to get rid of, and once disabled, it stayed that way. I'm no longer counting how many places I have to disable Copilot in (or find I'm unable to do so) every time there is a new update to Windows, or Edge, or

Careful, it will probably reset the home page on your Internet Explorer 6 and put a toolbar in Netscape Navigator!

By this point you've burnt up any potential efficiency gains. So you spent a lot of hours learning a new tool which you then have to spend a lot of additional hours to babysit and correct, so much that you'll be very far from thos

The good thing is that the selling point of LLM tools is that they're dead easy to use, so even if you find yourself having to do them in the future, it won't be an issue. I know the AI faithful love talking about how non-believer

Hard agree on documentation. In my view, generated documentation is utterly worthless, if not counterproductive. The point of documentation is to convey information that isn't already obvious from the code. If the documentation is just

As a lifelong Swiss, I also wanted to post that :) Direct democracy has been working out pretty darn well for us, for a pretty long time now. The system may seem slow and tedious sometimes, but it's probably mainly responsible for why

Exactly, this seems a bit overlooked in this discussion. A PR like this would NOT have been okay even if there was no LLM involved. It reminds me of a PR I once saw (don't remember which project) in which a first-time contributor opene

This would be fine if LLMs generated quality code, which they don't. Anything beyond trivial and boilerplate code is either riddled with errors or copied almost verbatim. None of these systems are able to even remotely do what a compet

Maybe they noticed that everybody ignores/downvotes/hates/hides the AI overviews, so the next attempt to force people to see them is to replace descriptions and previews with generated summaries?

Ryzen is the better choice anyway :) Props on building a PC with your kid, I have very fond memories of doing that with my dad. Have fun!

They didn't say communism was the only other option; this seems like a bad faith reply. Capitalism increasingly fails to provide well-being to the majority of the global population. It's obvious we need to come up with something e

They don't just keep the design, but usually also the content. Prime currency with search engines and not something they could otherwise easily get their hands on. It's what happened with Adventure Gamers, for example. Decades wor

No VM solution I know of supports 3D-accelerated graphics. VMware Workstation used to, but they removed it years ago because it was a security risk (direct access to 3rd-party drivers on the host). VMs are useless for most gaming. For games

It's like the "store your recipes" to sell home computers 45 years ago. Not the problem we need solved. Or the "write code more quickly" for LLMs. NOT the problem we need solved.

Every Mac user I know complains about this regularly. I don't own one, so I genuinely don't know, but when are you supposed to charge it then? I turn my laptop on when I start working, and I turn it off and slip it in my bag when

That happened during the last offshoring hype cycle as well. Those Indian developers aren't stupid -- the ones who deliver quality work will soon move somewhere they can earn a salary to reflect that, and it will be comparable to a US&

I have that experience when working with eslint-angular. Quite a few things I realised I hadn't been doing properly before.

I'm not sure I agree. This is coding for me, the engineering happened long before you knew you'd have to put a button-like thing there. To me, it's a great example how LLMs are just as shit at coding as everything else. It&#x

What controls do you suggest? Saying that a handful of mass copyright infringers with billion dollar investors are simply part of the "public" like every regular visitor is seriously distorting the issue here. Sites with a robots.

As for 1, it would be great to have this as a plugin for WordPress etc. that anyone could simply install and enable. Pre-processing images to dynamically poison them on each request should be fun, and also protect against a deduplication de
