> I think you have a very rose-tinted view of the past

I think they also forgot the entire Perl era.

Twitter (before Musk) and Facebook did the same thing to me... and that was a long time ago.

Discord tried to do it to me a few months ago but I refused, contacted support instead. Eventually they made it work but it took forever. Lucky for me I hate Discord so tried to avoid it anyway.

Sounds good.

The UIs are terrible. I've tried it a few different times with friends and we gave up each time.

What is this guy doing... you just build it against the standard it was written for. Yeesh. What a mess.

It only has 11 points. It just got caught in the algorithm. That's all.

Yes, this is what I meant. People are running huge models at home now, I assumed people could do it on premises or in a data center if you're a business, presumably faster... but yeah it definitely depends on what time scales we're talking.

> I’ll often kick off a process at the end of my day, or over lunch. I don’t need it to run immediately. I’d be fine if it just ran on their next otherwise-idle gpu at much lower cost that the standard offering.

If it's not time sensitive, why not just run it at on CPU/RAM rather than GPU.

Riiiight, I forgot about htat.

Well I guess that was my time too but it was kind of a very short period. We went from assembly to C++ pretty quickly. Like things were assembly for a very long time, and they have been C++ for a very long time, but C was dominant mostly in that Doom to Quake II window.

> I agree on C++ being the worst of both worlds for many people. You get abstraction, but also an enormous semantic surface area and footguns everywhere.

Not only that, but who even knows C++? It keeps changing. Every few years "standard practice" is completely different. Such a waste of energy.

> Java is interesting because the core language is indeed small and boring in a good way, much closer to C than people admit.

I know. I used to be a Java hater, but then I learned it and it's alright... except the whole no-unsigned-integers thing. That still bothers me but it's just aesthetic really.

Back in what day? Quake II I would say is the best good looking thing written in pure C. id Tech 3 is partly C++. Everything after that era was pretty much C++. Even GoldSrc is partly C++. Source was pure C++.

As a hardcore C programmer and zealot myself... How in the hell can you be productive like that? C is a systems programming language, not an application programming language, let alone relevant to the levels of abstraction you'd want in game development.

That said, "I am dead" is a very real video game indeed... and his arguments are very sound. I also can't stand C++. I disagree with him on Java though. The core language of Java is actually super simple, like C.

They are arbitrary. You don't want to bake these things into law. What if people start living to be 150 as of next week because of some miracle drug. It'd be retarded if people lost their license at 70. Don't do things wrong just because you can. This is why software is full of so many bugs. Do shit right the first time, so that we never have to think about this again. jfc

We should be governed by capabilities, not arbitrary numbers.

> It's not a temporary condition

You have no way of knowing that. There's no reason it should be written into law. If they can pass the test, then they can drive. Testing already takes care of what you want. If it truly isn't a temporary condition, then you have nothing to worry about.

> Politically very difficult to take people's licences away though, especially when it's permanent, not their fault and it makes their life a lot worse.

It shouldn't be permanent. If they can improve, then why not? Maybe illness causes their poor driving and they find a treatment for that illness.

> You (at least I) would not think of France as having a good Open Source presence

France has always been super heavy on open source. They even used to host Les Trophées du Libre, international open-source software competition. FramaSoft (i.e. PeerTube) and VLC are also French.

What's wrong with libreoffice and collabra?

Awesome song. Gives me chills. Wish I believed in a just God like that.

This part of the thread wasn't about that.

I'm really not convinced. This sounds very idealistic to me. The "justice" system is way more brutal in real life.

> If there is a glut of legal, AI generated CSAM material then this provides a lot of deniability for criminal creators/spreaders that cause genuine harm, and reduces "vigilance" of prosecutors, too ("it's probably just AI generated anyway...").

> You could make a multitude of arguments against that perspective, but at least there is a conclusive reason for legal restrictions.

I don't know about that. Would "I didn't know it was real" really count as a legal defense?

> There's basically no consent with what Grok is doing.

Wait how do you get consent from people that don't exist?

In case anyone is wondering: https://www.falkon.org/about/

I didn't argue they weren't. The person above me argued that the difference didn't matter. It does.

I miss that style of ad. IBM, Lucent, AT&T and many others used to do them, especially on the financial channels.

> Not really, otherwise perpetrators

You don't think it's worse to molest a child than to not molest a child?

Seems like a pretty big difference. It's got to be worse to actually do something to somone in real life than not do that.

I think you're joking but they will. Eventually stystemd will consume everything and that work has already begun, quite literally.
