What do you mean nobody is forced to use react? What is this brave new world where you can learn lisp and use it for everything you desire, where corporate culture has no sway over your tech choices?

Why do you think the jobs directing the work will be dine by us instead of by huge data centers with manager ais?

Its to drive homeless people away, shamefully enough

Not to mention how parents might get in actual legal trouble now for not acting like this

You mean coal?

Based on their switch 1 track record, a new mario will run at 5fps on native nintendo hardware on the final boss (eg, bowsers fury)

the turing test of q3 2026

The difference between an ai artist, and a human who uses ai to do all their work for them, is barely a difference at all. I think this is just a stepping stone for them while they wait for the public to accept/give-in-to the new state of affairs

Weirdly, peter thiel is going on tour right now promoting the idea that the antichrist is coming and may be an organization or social movement rather than a person. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I only skimmed the articles about it

I suspect that if we don't want to live in this future, we need some major open source tech leadership around making something like an anonymous version of this

I know, not exactly an easy problem to solve, but big tech or government is going to do it if we can't find better solutions first

I had a typewriter growing up and I remember thinking it was the coolest thing. I was amazed by it and tried writing several stories. Eventually my dad bought me a crappy old computer that was only really good for writing, and that was cool too. I loved that thing. It was small too, with an integrated monitor and keyboard, so it didn't take over the whole desk where I still used pencil and paper often

Imagine being able to do some writing without notifications going off every few seconds, and where you're not always one click away from a search engine and some website scientifically designed to drag your attention down a rabbit hole and keep it there

I honestly think llms perform worse and worse with context. Whenever possible, I disable it because things just get wacky when it has more than a little bit of context available

How do you prevent people from having phones while inside?

Do you just get in trouble for whipping it out? Or do you have to drop it off with a phone valet at the entrance? If so, how do you prevent theft or mixups? Are all the staff comfortable confronting people who have taken their devices out, risking their tips and personal comfort levels? What if somebody gets cranky after being asked because they didn't know and it's halfway through dinner?

It's a tricky policy to enforce smoothly

I feel like this was written by somebody who thinks we've been in the room the whole time while things happened. It's so dense with allusions that nobody is going to be able to understand.

What is this even about?

- A licensing controversy with some cloud companies who used libre office's software?

- Some new tos thing?

- something else?

This is the future of the internet. Bots talking to bots, optimizing websites to draw more and more of what I guess will increasingly be bot traffic (ai scrapers), sharing bot generated photos, bots then discussing these websites on "social" media... and it getting harder and harder to detect.

I don't want to be the guy who has to use this level editor (although, in a similar way, doom was 2.5d, and so the level editor could essentially be 2d, so maybe it's not so bad?)

If this is 4d doom, i wonder what 4d quake could be

To the people criticizing the comment above, think of all the other illegal things trump is already doing. It's not a matter of "can't", it's a matter of if he will and who will stop him (nobody, so far)

only big companies have access to the legal system. nobody else can afford it

What did everyone expect? I can't understand this community's trust of microsoft or startups. It's the typical land grab: start off decent, win people over, build a moat, then start shaking everybody down in the most egregious way possible.

It's just unusual how quickly they're going for the shakedown this time

I think this "emergency break" is just going to get eye rolls from most people

That wasn't an up cycle, was it? Wasn't Microsoft was doing that at the same time as adding ads and stuff to the os. Silicon Valley people were just wowed by the open source initiatives and money. Everyone worshipped the ceo for it while windows for users swirled down the toilet, while new analytics couldn't be disabled, etc etc etc

Maybe not with the current administration pressuring the courts on the matter in some deranged manner or another

I doubt it was him who architected it. A team of lawful evil lawyers more likely

I've used linux desktop environments using Wayland and others using x11. No real problems with either.

Let's instead get excited by all the new linux users coming in thanks to SteamOS and Valve. If the trend continues, we might start seeing larger software companies releasing native linux versions of their software -- and then, the year of the linux desktop will start becoming an actual possibility!

(I heard affinity suite is linux friendly now btw, and davinci resolve too -- not sure if proton is necessary or not, but either way, really cool)

IP laundering is a big part of AI, it's why big companies are so excited and workers / artists are less excited

ask apple to graciously allow you to install your own ram in the computer you "own"

Also for me. I cannot even get interviews anywhere. Enjoyed a really senior role at my previous position

I'll pass that along to my starving artist friends who work minimum wage jobs. thanks

The limited ram is planned obselescence. It leads to massively increased swap usage and will wear out your non-replaceable ssd to make you get a new machine. In theory

Just use mattermost. We alrrady have an open source wlack replqcement.
