I built my current home PC the day 4090 was release, and set up Fedora on it. It was usable at first, with some hiccups in certain updates, where I needed to stay with an older kernel for some time. Wayland on Nvidia was a mess, though. But

I don't know about the GP. I won't buy anything from Intel unless things change dramatically. My last Intel laptop had serious thermal throttling problem that could be completely avoided if Intel cared a bit about users. The one b

As optimistic as your comment is, the fact that there are lots of problems does not mean that we will tackle them. In my opinion, if we don't aim at doing anything about it, the gap between the rich and the poor will widen. Both betwee

In the age of internet, engagement optimization and recommendation algorithms create a new way that we are affected by the behaviour of others. That annoying dark pattern on a piece of software you use? Because there are people who fall to

Jon Skeet is one of the two greatest of my software engineering heroes. The other one is Andrew Hejlsberg. Just by reading some of his answers on SO, or by reading his C# in depth book, or his talks and blogs, I learned how you can think of

I think people mix up "Improper/indecent/harmful/... uses of AI" with "Troubles made by AI". If we exclude my usage of Copilot in VsCode, my most common exposure to AI is one of my colleagues polluting eve

It is incredible how bad we are, at the end of the first quarter of 21st century, at having a well planned and executed strategy to improve mental health of people. Compare it to physical health. For instance, everyone is advised to take re

It's the nature of hobbies: the journey is important. Why dance, or play piano when there are people who can do it much better, and we can make machines to do it even better? Why people go fishing? Once you start questioning the reason

That's a step forward, but not a solution. There are so many firms collecting data on everyone. There should be something similar to a "National no call list". If you register there, all firms should delete your information o

My natural assumption would be that AI helps in writing the script, but execution would be plain old dumb execution.

I spent too much of my life chasing achievements. They will never make you happy for long. I lost contact with all of them by going through migration, COVID, a separation. Focusing on achievements is a recipe for a lifetime of misery, excep
