30 years after switching to Linux, I still have to use Photoshop because the gimp is still trash.
I played with PhotoCraft, it launches on less than a second, and while still missing features and isn’t even a 1.0 release yet, it’s better than the gimp already.
And it opened all my psds perfectly.
Right, because kids are still developing mentally and their toys may as well be alive, so you want them to develop empathy.
This is not the case with a mathematical model you interact with as an adult. I like to curse at llms and remind them they are not human regularly to keep me grounded and not allow the notion that they are sentient to fester.
They aren’t sentient. They don’t have hopes and dreams, they don’t experience joy and sadness, they don’t persist between sessions, they deserve the same empathy as a calculator, and I bet if your calculator gave you 3 as an answer to 2*2, you’d call it a piece of shit.
Do you have a reason to believe what I said is unbelievable?
It’s their own numbers…
It isn’t profitable at current pricing, and it will have lower adoption at higher pricing.
The technology isn’t going anywhere, when the bubble pops and hardware prices come down, local open weight models will be sufficient and the hardware to run them will be cheaper than cloud models.
In the short term, however, it’ll be a shit show.
Google has historically done a lot of good things. Today they simply do evil, but pushing for RCS adoption when telcos refused to is one of those good things they did.
You can still hate Google and want them to disappear, I do, but that doesn’t mean you automatically hate everything ever touched by them. Their motivation may have been strictly to compete with Apple, but e2ee messages are a net positive if you must use it. Use signal and matrix when you can, use RCS when you must.
I have run over thousands of pedestrians in GTA3-5. I have beat hundreds of people to death with a bat. I have gone on hundreds of shooting sprees where I sniped drivers in cars, pedestrians, launched rockets at them, thrown grenades at them.
Not once did I have the urge to act violently to a human. Not once did I have the urge to shoot the moon so it gets bigger either.
The only FPS video games I find objectionable are ones where you play as the good guy in American army camo and shoot at “terrorists” dressed in shmaghs and the setting happens to be their country.
There’s a huge difference between someone using agentic ai to solve real problems quickly and someone asking a chatbot for life advice. A lot of people are asking llms for life advice, and don’t get me wrong it’s a great research tool IF you already posses critical thinking skills and know when to question it, but schools are introducing generative ai to middle schoolers before they even gain any critical thinking skills.
When the existing information isn’t super helpful, and the problem requires deep understanding of Linux, there are two choices:
Find an active Linux forum and ask your question, ignore the assholes telling you to RTFM and wait a few days for someone to ask you to provide the output of a command you never knew existed, go through several rounds of remote asynchronous troubleshooting over a few days and eventually maybe you figure out what’s wrong. You are amazing, you make the community amazing, but meanwhile my computer is unstable and I can’t use it.
Tell AI what symptoms you’re experiencing, it gives you basic troubleshooting steps and explains them, and what took days now takes minutes.
Or, a better example, say you know what you want to do: deploy some docker containers including caddy and cloudflared, you want to deploy them through a CI process so it’s repeatable, you want to segment their networks. Say you’re well versed in all these topics but don’t have much docker or compose experience, you can wade through the documentation to figure out the best way to set it up, and it’ll take you a few days. Or describe the end state and have a solid starting point and enough explanation to correct bad AI assumptions and skip the first few weeks of regretting a decision because no one highlighted where it could go wrong.
AI makes reading the manual for many integrated systems possible.
Adobe would have to prove the model that generated this was trained on its stolen code. And Adobe’s code contains zero Rust while the Craft suite is 100% rust, so it’s certainly not simply regurgitating Adobe’s code.
If you learn from others by studying their code, is the organic artisanal code you create also necessarily stolen?
Let Adobe prove AI is trained on their codebase. Fuck Adobe, and fuck the copywrite system.
Finally custom subtitles, it’s actually useful now!
I have a security.txt with an email to report vulnerabilities and a public key to encrypt sensitive information. The only reports I ever got were on the contract us form, unencrypted.
More serious answer: I like video gaming on a widescreen, my PC isn’t only for work.
Ending up running ancient packages because the developer refuses to apt upgrade their shit.
Tell me you never really had to deal with dependency hell without telling me. That’s literally the main problem docker solves.
It’s the first time AI was used to cause a mass human casualty event.
No it’s not. Israel used AI to kill over 20,000 children.
They’re using AI so they can blame AI… It’s not like they wouldn’t have bombed the school without AI, they’re just using it as a scapegoat.
That’s not exactly correct… They’re called executive orders because they come from the executive branch, not because they only apply to the executive branch.
Executive orders primarily direct the executive branch, but they can also impose legally binding obligations on private companies when supported by constitutional or statutory authority.
Now, is this executive order specifically legally binding and supported by the constitution, lol no, it only applies to what the government has to call it. The companies are sucking his dick and showing their true colors.
Helpful to know your enemies, but completely harmless in and of itself. Recent estimates say the US can absorb seven more waves of Iranian attacks before they completely run out of interceptors, and interceptors ordered today won’t be delivered until 2029… Americans don’t realize just how badly Iran defeated them, and it’s why he’s openly contemplating using nukes, renaming a lake is a desperate attempt to distract from that.
I didn’t defend or promote it as a good thing, I just stated a fact. Pretending like it doesn’t exist just because you don’t like it or pedo-nazi Elmo doesn’t change the fact that it does…
Has been on the road for years and they’re expanding to Europe next year… Nothing close to original promised specs, but there’s videos on YouTube just asking their drivers what they think, they mostly like them.
He already released cadcraft, I haven’t tried it yet
