What's old is new.

Perhaps this is analogous to what our brains are doing? Maybe the different regions of the brain operate like semi-independent "models" that edit the other regions' "weights", and that's where the learning comes from?

I've been getting the most value out of LLMs this way as well. I don't care to vomit out code for the fastest MVP. I want to learn and understand what goes into what I'm building, piece by piece. So I use LLMs as a research and learning assistant to speed up gaining those tidbits. But I still have to understand the code well enough to put the pieces together by hand.

I'm also speculating that they'll kindly donate at least 1 T of that to me out of the kindness of their heart.

That's what reputations are for.

All I have to say is: lmao

The employee seems to have a better grasp of their demographic than the CEO. Hope he enjoys losing a good employee and their revenue continuing to fall through the floor. I'm not the only paying customer leaving ASAP.

Plus Australia is a member of Five Eyes.

I really like the idea of using Fastmail over Tuta since they support normal protocols and thus third party clients. My main concern is that if they're able to serve those protocols, they have to be able to access my emails in plaintext in some form or fashion, which also means if their systems do (and most likely inevitably will these days) get hacked at some point, all my emails are now exposed and leaked.

Same here. Been a paying customer for probably about 3 years now. Off to either Fastmail or Tuta most likely. I'd like to self-host, but corporations have thoroughly ruined what should have been an open and decentralized system.

I was just being sarcastic.

Nope. The solution is to move even faster and thus break less things via AI.

I was using Helm, lsp-mode, yasnippet, and the like for a long time. I switched to Eglot/Corfu/Vertico/Tempel. I much prefer the new wave.

Agreed. I trust it more as a codebase query system rather than a codebase writer.

You just described the mechanism by which they did. Sure, they didn't make it illegal nationwide permanently, because what serious country would do that and hope to maintain control? The real threat is in the vague exceptions for specific cases, which they have now used.

I don't know why I haven't been able to see the similarity between short form content and LLMs in our industry until reading your comment, but that is apt. That's the impression I'm getting. I stay away from "agentic code generation" as much as possible, just like I avoid short form content mills like the plague. That said, LLMs have been a huge boon for me as a research assistant. Being able to look up very niche problems, and have responses be tailored to me, is awesome. My brain stays sharp and I still enjoy the fun of putting the pieces together myself much faster than before.

France just banned protesting

You can also just add this to your SSH config to get the typical functionality working:

    Host ...
        SetEnv TERM=xterm-256color

Maybe I'm ignorant of the "cocaine community", but is the packaging intended to be reused? Because I highly doubt it. A smartphone isn't intended to be disposable.

That actually sounds crazy to me. At least for the House of Commons. I'm amenable to upper chambers of bicameral legislatures being indirectly elected. That's how the US Senate used to be before the constitution was amended.

Seeing the kinds of stuff my coworker is spitting out into merge requests on my codebase via Claude Code is sometimes baffling. It's literally spaghetti code. I won't be surprised if the advent of LLMs causes power usage to surge globally, not only because they themselves use a lot of power, but because the code they spew out is horrendously ugly and inefficient. And then the time they take to sort out the spaghetti code they spat out, to add new features on top, takes even longer and uses more power than before. It's gonna be a mess. I don't see how we can keep going down this road without huge investments into nuclear power collectively.

Ha, Cyberpunk 2077 is becoming reality. We're proposing the Blackwall.

People keep making these comparisons like they're equivalent. The whole point of AI is to replace the human factor. Horses being replaced by automobiles didn't remove the human factor. Humans continued to drive a different, non-organic vehicle for the following century.

I used to be Reactpilled, but ever since I've tried Svelte, I haven't gone back.

Do you dig your garden with an excavator?

The author of the code was physically touching the internals and potentially intuiting obvious shortcomings as they worked on it. That very crucial part is now gone.

I'm a perfect example. I'm nearing the first functional release of my entirely handwritten Linux-native mod manager, and I'm not sure if I want to open source it or not. I love the concept of FOSS software, and it's nearly the only kind I use when possible, and I would love to give back to other humans. However, I'm not interesting in doing free work for megacorps that simply want to see me out of a job for their benefit, and open source is currently looking more and more like that.

Humans are so lazy and obsessed with cost-cutting, efficiency, and "line go up" that we'll willingly walk ourselves into such a bleak inhuman future.

I do sympathize with them though. Convenience isn't necessarily bad, but when it's at odds with important principles, it seems there are too few people willing to take the hit anymore.

Fair enough

Can't you just use the font feature flags?
