Why though? AI it's just a token predictor, it doesn't care that it is generating text bashing itself.

I was initially quite excited to play it until I read your comment. I'm in the same boat (hurr), been sailing for 30 years and teaching it for at least 20.

How is this helping? We're not on the playground here.

Which ironically illustrates just how stupid the system really is.

When you start breaking capitalism down into small chunks like this, it _is_ insane.

Which feels like a longer way of saying 'stupidity'.

If you aren't going to write a comment yourself then please don't bother at all. I read enough slop as it is already.

I'm guessing you've never heard of Hashicorp (Terraform, Vault) then? Mitchell == Hashicorp.

I deposit for those who would rather ask a robot than do something simple themselves.

Only the opening sentence has an AI smell; the rest is definitely written by a fleshy meatbag

I have a December 2024 XPS 15 and I regularly get 7-8 hours out of a charge whilst doing a mixture of tasks. On Linux too, no less.

At least now I'll be able to view all those broken Imgur links here in the UK.

Yes this is my use-case for it too - it's great to generate a structure which I will keep but I always end up reworking all the actual content so it sounds like me. It is a great way to get past the 'getting started' hurdle though.

This is a you thing. I had the same pair of Sony wireless headphones for years and I only replaced them because the ear cups started disintegrating. Their replacements (also Sony) have already lasted me a couple of years with no issues. I also have absolutely no problems with Bluetooth either, the headphones are paired with maybe 6 devices across iOS and Linux and they never fail to connect.

I (and I'd wager most other meatsacks here) use HN to engage with real people with real opinions. Not with robots.

I believe like that was the intent, but the (very few) mentions of Jira feel like a bit of a non sequitur; they don't belong.

I sandbox everything inside https://github.com/strongdm/leash

That way the blast radius is vastly reduced.

This is why I won't run Claude without additional sandboxing. I'm currently using (and quite pleased with) https://github.com/strongdm/leash

Why? The AI is just regurgitating tokens (including the sycophancy). Don't anthropomorphise it.

> But the quality is really no different.

Hard disagree. As someone who is somewhat into the home brewing rabbit hole, I can tell you that the gulf between what I can make at home and what you get in Starbucks is enormous. And I'm no expert in the field by any means.

The rest of your analogy holds up, but not that sentence.

yep, my 3 year old gets a very limited amount of screen time and he only watches educational programs (not whatever cartoons his peers watch). There's is no way I want to make it _easier_ for him to watch TV, especially as he has very little interest in it already.

How so? Winapps lets you run windows applications as if they were native to Linux, you interact with them the same way you would anything installed by apt/pacman/dnf etc. Unless I'm very much misunderstanding things (which I don't believe I am)

I am in a similar boat; my media editing machine ruined windows 10 so that I can use Lightroom. But I would dearly love to ditch windows so I'm currently looking to try out running Lightroom under Winapps to see if it is usable. There's no way of passing the GPU through without something like SR-IOV so I'll have to see how it goes.

Your experience (as a single data point) doesn't mean that everyone the age of the interns you work with uses Discord.

Sure, but then you're putting all your eggs in one basket (hard drive). If you really want to divest yourself of the cloud then you need to set things up in a redundant and fault-tolerant fashion. And at that point the outlay is much more than 'just a hard drive'.

Good lord, Oink was only around for 4 years? I was one of the earlier signups and it felt more like 10 years.

You can install gboard on iOS - I haven't used the default keyboard in years

I remember listening to Longplayer when I visited the Millennium Dome [1] way back in 2000.

You can be human and not care about other humans.

FWIW, I've been daily driving Linux and an iPhone for almost 13 years now and I've never really had any issues with it. Maybe it's because I've not experienced some of the integration in the ecosystem and so I don't know what I'm missing.

I use Firefox as my browser across all devices so I can just share tabs via my account, and if I want to share text or files then LocalSend works just fine in lieu of Airdrop.
