Except that the most glaring difference is that compilers are deterministic, while LLMs aren't.

Given the same input, compilers will always return the same output, while for LLMs. They won't, given the same input, they will return different output.

It seems to be common.

Oh God you fell for the hype and used DHH's juiced up distro. I encourage you to try a properly maintained distro e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora, or Leap instead of a racist narcissist's hobby project.

That would be Kubuntu then.

When I still used windows (until windows 10) I always had to download some DPI fixer program to fix blurriness in many native windows programs.

Text rendering × DPI seems to be one of those difficult problems.

Maybe, just maybe, we should fix the fucked up world we created instead? Shunning the modern culture of individualism would be a great first step, followed by promoting communal culture. Live exactly how we evolved to live for hundreds of thousands of years.

There's a reason it takes a village to raised a child. He idea of only a single pair of adults should be responsible for raising an entire human being is one of the most unhinged developments of the modern era.

For our entire history we used to live in tribes. One person can look after 5 children with only a small extra % of the effort it takes to look after one. Hell maybe even less effort because the kids will keep each other company, and the adult only has to make sure the kids don't kill themselves. The older kids will naturally take charge and the younger kids tend to follow their older-brother figures.

It can still be done today. Children-having adults gather, bringing their children along. The children will be happy because friends to play with. Adults will be happy because socialization + taking a break from entertaining child. You can even play DND or something.

It's so obvious, so simple, so rewarding, but we still somehow fucked it up.

And Linux being good for gaming now (thanks Valve!) makes this option more attractive than ever.

And the inability to run rootkits is a bonus, not a drawback.

It took them AGES to finally implement tab groups and vertical tabs, two of the most requested features that pretty much all browsers browsers had at that point. They can barely hear Firefox users over the sound of google's millions filling up their bank.

That's why my favorite rule for anything and everything* (online or offline) is "Don't be an asshole". If someone starts arguing against it, they're pretty much saying they're an asshole.

> I’m happy to announce the Gem Fellowship, a grant partnership with gem.coop, the new open source cooperative in the Ruby community. Contributed Systems, my company behind Sidekiq Pro and Sidekiq Enterprise, is committing to provide $100,000 in grants for each of the next three years. These grants are meant to provide funding to the altruistic people who maintain and improve the open source tools freely available to the Ruby community.

I'm glad to see the folks behind Sidekiq sticking to their principals. They're supporting the same good folks that were responsible for maintaining RubyGems before.

That may have been true before the age of LLMs, but now crawler bots bring down any website in their path.

Problem is when 2 billion Brazilian bots hit your blog daily and exhaust all resources, crashing it and preventing you from posting a new post.

If you host images as well, your bandwidth costs might skyrocket.

I was pretty much forced into putting a site I'm managing for a client behind cloudflare due to the above-mentioned issue.

The Robot Vacuum has infinitely more agency than chatbots. It moves, performs real non-virtual tasks, and keeps your home clean.

Even a rock has more personality and humanity than a chatbot. More useful too, since you can throw ot at your enemies to impede them. Can't say the same about a chatbot.

This prospect of this bubble finally popping fills me with great excitement!

EU govs siding with google in this move would be catastrophically stupid, it's equivalent to ceding their digital sovereignty to the US. All it would take to knee-cap Europe is for the US to command google to suspend all european developers' accounts, and suddenly Europe is fucked. No banking apps, no government services, no nothing.

The only rational step for the EU is to support open everything: Open Software, Open Hardware, Open platforms, etc...

Beggars can't be choosers. Until they pony up the cache to fork android, they're beholden to the US.

By the time I finish the can I'll have Burned through more than 0.4 calories.

"Keeping your head down" means not doing anything that would cause a government (especially your own) to want to disappear you.

If you vocally oppose your tyrannical government, you won't avoid a bomb on your head. In the best case you'll get a bullet through your head. Worst case, you spend a lifetime in a prison.

are you saying that you've downvoted me, or just pointing out that I've been downvoted? If the former, why?

You /s but this is actually valid advice for someone who just wants to get by in life and is content.

Yesterday AWS had a Little oppsie that brought down half of western businesses. I don't have confidence in that redundancy.

Also:

- Press F4 to bring up a console that stays in sync with your window. Extremely powerful.

And it seems there are a bunch of broken stuff that anyone with a lick of CSS skills would notice and fix right away. For example, the first 4 elements of each card (number, title, external link icon, and tag) seem like they should've been in on the same line. The pill-like "Hot" doesn't normally take a whole line by itself...

This os trivially fixed by wrapping them in a flex container. In tailwind that would take 2 seconds.

So we have:

- OP didn't even look at this project before posting it, or...

- they looked and didn't find anything wrong (no eye for quality), or....

- they looked, saw it looked off, but didn't bother to fix it, either due to lack of necessary skill to do that or maybe they didn't want to invoke the agent a second time???

I concur with your conclusion that it seems no human was involved in any step.

Also, evidently, thing doesn't even work given it shows years-old repos that didn't actually get any traction recently. It's AI slop in product form

I'm beginning to doubt that it's actually satire...

The "oh lawd he comin"[0] meme is popular precisely because cat tend to over eat.

Speaking of Phoenixes this whole debacle made me start diving into Elixir/Phoenix. My first impression is that I much prefer Ruby as a language, however I'm struggling to even think of using Rails currently.

Because they're woefully incompetent, they thought that would help them.

Completely missed that. This is just the cherry on top if this shit cake.

André is a better man than I. I wouldn't be able to resist making threats about turning off prod.

Anime existed before Crunchyroll and will continue to exist after Crunchyroll.

Meds are like glasses for your brain. I'm nearsighted, I put on my glasses first thing in the morning. I don't feel bad for having to depend on my glasses in order to see clearly like a normal person.
