Might be because it's the first actually useful new thing in our field after, I don't know, modern smart phones.

Probably because it has +219 votes.

My point is that once we reach fascism, the opposing voices stop mattering. I think it's naive to think that anything happening in the digital world can properly fight that. And since technological anonymity and privacy are clearly mov

It's often much more than 10x, because AI makes things so much faster and easier that we are now doing many things we wouldn't have bothered to do at all before. And there's no reason to believe we're near the finish lin

We do?

It was probably a bad goal anyway. Anonymity turned out to be a great tool for fascists, and privacy is not going to save anyone if the fascist shit properly hits the fan.

With anonymity, they can 1000000x their presence and thus the effectiviness of their message.

Do you mean Flatpak? Still no though.

Sure, black's pretty good and definitely better than nothing. Just wanted to provide an easy counterpoint to the logical fallacy by IceDane.

More secure, at least in the cases where the tools are properly applied. But it also represents more easily available opportunities for blackhats to abuse against the projects where these tools were not being applied.

Maybe you should install new kernels at least though.

I have tons of experience with python, possibly more actual work experience than any other language, and I do think the indentation is a bit of a problem. Obviously not a huge one, but still something I wished they had done differently. Bec

Online communities needed strong authentication also before AI slop. That people were too complacent to do it is of course a problem, but now you cannot ignore it anymore.

by vga1 5mo ago
Might be a good idea to let AI handle social media. I'm not saying you're doing it badly, just that it doesn't seem like worth the drained energy to do manually.

If they really started the work this week, we'll see by the end of June probably.

Yeah, it's not clear. Especially the rise of LLMs is going to chip away Zig's strong points (simplicity at the cost of lesser safety) as time goes on. Which might be a part of why they're so stressed about it.
78.
by vga1 5mo ago
I would assume that Zig was a risky choice to start with, and Rust was always lurking as a sensible option behind the corner. This probably just broke the camel's back.

Using LLMs is so obviously great from my point-of-view and when I read about the skepticism, some of which even seems scientifically proven, I get a funny deja vu feeling. I started using Linux back when most people were super excited about

Why would it end? Probably will plateau and normalize though.

It seems to me that people might be arguing from conflicting hidden premises here. "AI Coding" is a spectrum that could mean something as simple as letting the LLM proofread your changes and then act on those with your own human b

by vga1 5mo ago
Because LLM models are obviously much more than the sum of their parts.

by vga1 5mo ago
I think this ignores the amount of work needed to make LLM contributions be of high quality. It's much less work than making pure human contribution, but it's definitely not zero. So centralizing that common work is a benefit of o

How would you differentiate a 3000 line LLM commit made by the best models and good AI processes from a 3000 line commit made by the best human developer? edit Okay, I set the bar too high here with "best human developer" and va
