The author displays a fuzzy understanding of what is a terminal and what is a shell. Also, none of the old hardware pictures are actually terminals. Makes me wonder if I can really trust this historical comparison. I call it BS.

Your QR generator is actually a project written by humans repackaged: https://github.com/neocotic/qrious All the hard work was made by humans. I can do `npm install` without having to pay for AI, thanks.

I have a complete proof that P=NP but it doesn't make sense to reveal to the world that now I'm god. It would crush their little hearts.

In corporate, you are _forced_ to trust your coworker somehow and swallow it. Specially higher-ups. In free software though, these kinds of nonsense suggestions always happened, way before AI. Just look at any project mailing list. It is ex

You're missing the point and taking it to an extreme. Let's say I write a toy project to log all sites I visit to a text file. The goal is to learn browser extensions, not learn kernel cache. There's a clear boundary, and any

I won't elaborate on the Stevie Wonder quote. I think it's perfect the way it is. -- I can, however, elaborate on the subject separately from that quote. The video talks about the more extreme cases of AI cultism. This behavior fo

What are you even talking about? The article is not about AI replacing jobs. It doesn't even touch this subject.

A good reality check is: if a stranger asks you about a specific part of your toy project, would you be able to explain it? If you can't, it means there's something there you don't understand, and you lost an opportunity to l

On tmux, I use split panels more often than tabs. Usually, there will be from 2 to 8 panels of different sizes. This gives me spacial short term memory: I know what each shell is by the panel position. I can zoom on then to bring them full

"emergent superintelligent AI" is as much superstition as believing in imaterial souls. One company literally used the term "people spirits" to refer to how LLMs behave in their official communications. It's a cult.
