i would say depends. If you use it for writing the code, I will say yes. If you instead use it to discus how to aproach the problem I would say "no/not sure". One of the best ways to become a good developer is to learn from the code we write. On the other hand we also often need someone to speak with about the code we write or plan on writing. I think the best cause of action is that you write the code and then use LLM as a reviewer and someone to talk about writing code with.

Do you personally enjoy reading text generated by AI?

Two days into my first job at a large global organisation, I got send the internal budget for the entire company. Turned out the the CEO's email address was "tfa@our.domain" and mine was "tf@our.domain". ups.

If it is a single function or a class I most of the time prefere copy/paste from the chat. If multiple files needs to be updated then there is a lot of convinience with using a AI IDE.

For writting code the old fashion way. You type the code the intellisense/auto-complete build in to the like of cursor AI is the most annoying thing i have ever seen in a IDE. You constantly sitting hitting the escape key try to get their auto-complete suggestion to go away. Most of the time is it guessing where wrong and is mostly useless.

The biggest issue is when you try to use a class that has properties. When you press the dot after the class name normally the IDE will list the public properties on the class.

Now you have to battle that the list now longer contains just the properties found on the class but also non-existing properties invented by the AI IDE. As clever as this AI autocomplete can be, i really hate it because I can no longer rely on that my IDE is telling the truth about what properties and functions there is exist on a class.

and if you are the type of programmer that like to put empty lines in your code for readability. Then moment you hit enter you now get an often completly irrelevnat code suggestion and need to battle that suggestion to go away. I just want an blank line for crying out loud.

PS: my AI IDE is cursor

No, if you exclude a folder its children will also be excluded. You could Exclude everything else in ~/Library but that means that you have to maintain a long list of exclusions; any new folder you or macOS adds later will start getting backed up until you exclude it.

You can also mark sub‑folders with the "do not backup" xattr

xattr -w com.apple.metadata:com_apple_backup_excludeItem com.apple.backupd ~/Library/Caches (Time Machine picks this up automatically).

or you can switch to Carbon Copy Cloner. It allows you to build positive include rules

It also means that by default you will no longer be able to RDP from one Windows PC to another on your LAN or mount it as a network drive, as neither of these functions works with a passwordless Microsoft account. Even Microsoft's new "Windows App" cannot establish RDP connections between Windows systems on your local network.

The first version of Windows that started to encrypt the drive by default using Bitlocker was Windows RT 8 for ARM (Release 2012). The first x86/x64 version that did same was windows 8.1 (Release 2013)

How is a recovery key different from a a password or pin? They are both just a string you need to enter during the recovery process and if you have lost that string you cannot unlock the drive

Backing up the Bitlocker encryption key to OneDrive* has been the default since bitlocker was introduced in Windows Vista in 2007.

The dialog has for this has always offered the option to back it up to a USB drive and the dialogs function is largely unchanged the past 18 years providing access to backup up the decryption key to a local target or online.

*Back then OneDrive was called Windows Live Folders

Should be: If you ever loose your decryption key to your encryptet data, regardless of OS, you have no way to recover any of your encryptet data.

When installing windows and configure bitlocker you do get presented with the option to create an offline backup of said key eg to a USB drive. The same dialog also give you an option to back it up to OneDrive in addition to an offline backup.

This is a non-story

Yes, the are making consumers more and more annoyed. The are not making enterprises annoyed. All the bloat and ads that we hear about again and again is not present in their enterprise offering.

Could have used this 25 years ago when I was working in a large room with ~100 other people. Every friday an mp3 was distributed and then at the same time we all started playing it signaling that the workday has ended and the friday bar was open. Fun times.

from their FAQ on the buttom of the fronpage:

Screen Studio can collect basic usage data to help us improve the app, but you can opt out of it during the first launch. You can also opt out at any time in the app settings.

The majority of my (small) group of japanese friends are using yahoo as search enigne

Can't this be mitigated by putting everything behind a login?

That's actually pretty good advice. He doesn't understand his own system enough to guide the AI.

Can you add which one that can call any phone number?

I get the usual wrong answer.

They all run Windows 11 Enterprise configured by Microsoft's IT department, so no.

I live on a small island in Thailand, and here, "becoming Bali" is a term that describes a place that has been over-constructed with bungalows and villas; it has become very crowded and very expensive. Most tropical islands started out as hippie places where all houses were cheap, rudimentary wooden bungalows, but then mass tourism and housing investors moved in and pushed the "original hippie population" out and replaced them with expensive villas. That is what is meant by becoming Bali. My guess for the origin of this expression is that Bali was the first place where this happened.

To be hornest what would make it better is that you write your own post. Nobody likes to read AI generated content. Do you even like to read that yourself?

If there is any truth to the events pictured in the JFK movie with Kevin Costner that is certainly very true.

To this day I still attempt never to click inside a running cmd / powershell console. Too many times script execution has been halted by this. It is probably something that has been fixed long time ago but I am still a bit paranoid about it.

They probably learn sufficient to be able to develop their own models from their work with OpenAI and is now OK with others getting to run the compiled binaries without granting them access to the inner workings of the models.

I couldn't find the exact post, but it might be related to the story of Terry Davis, the creator of TempleOS. He was known for his unique approach to coding and his dedication to his project. Unfortunately, Terry Davis passed away in 2018.

One million will not cut it. Greenland has free healthcare, free education, and a whole host of other social benefits that, over a lifetime, give a lot more value than a million in hand, and the US social system does. In addition their current (danish) passport ranks higher (4) than the US passport (9) in the The Henley Passport Index [1].

Ever heard the old joke story about an American buyer told the Japanese manufacture how many incorrectly made bolts were acceptable per lot of a thousand bolts? Maybe 2 or 3 in 1,000?

So the Japanese didn't have any incorrectly made bolts in their manufacturing process so they just added two or three bad ones to every batch to please the Americans.

Sold everything. Relocated from north Europe to a tropical island in Thailand.
