  • Version Control

    Jump

  • I knew a dude who would burn a cd every week and store it in his house as his version control, his software is still used by hundreds of businesses to this day

  • To avoid being replaced by LLMs, do what they can't

    Jump

  • Interesting points, I don't think a million line code base is a good shield though, Gemini already has a massive context window and there have been some recent papers about infinite context.

    I will say in my personal experience llms suck at rust, archaic vb, forth, and other older languages, they excel at Python and Javascript though.

    Using the prior generation of models results in decent code, the next generation is already baked, we need to prepare at least a little.

  • Default instances would go a long way, I know there's a lot of hate for lemmy.world but defaulting to the biggest instance or a random one in the top 10 would help ease some of the early friction. Users can choose an instance later when they get more comfortable with the platform.

    Federation is neat but the average person just wants to scroll and chat

  • Former lurkers (here or elsewhere online), what changed?

    Jump

  • Lemmy feels more like a community garden while reddit felt more like a really packed lunchroom.

    Here it feels like we have to cultivate seeds and grow our food from scratch since nothing is premade, there it felt like there was infinite food available and growing a garden was kinda pointless

    I guess maybe I came out of lurking to practice my metaphors or something, apparently that skill could use some work

  • Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?

    Jump

  • I've used everything, vim, nvim, emacs, visual studio, vscode, sublime, codeblocks, android studio, xcode, bloodshed, intellij, eclipse, VB, geany, dreamweaver, qt, atom, and cursor (even though it’s really just a plugin)

    It doesn't matter. It will never matter. I use vscode today because it handles everything I throw at it and it's easy to make extensions for. Or cursor if I'm feeling lazy, the agentic mode with claude is pretty damn good if your codebase is well established.

    Don't get hung up on the editor, just use the tools available to get the job done, at the end of the day programming is converting concepts to text.

    If Kodak came back with a Camera tomorrow, what would you be awaiting from a company like them?

    Jump

  • If the question is how do you revive a company with a dead reputation and little sales like Kodak, but tailored to that case specifically:

    Kodak, and every other retail company, creates products that rely on not only their product, but also their brand. Companies with semi useless products sell them all the time

    K-cups, somehow took an infinitely reusable thing like a coffee maker and turned it into a tiny plastic trash cup Dasani water is awful tasting, terrible for the environment, and expensive, but they go where they're needed

    And a million other examples, selling a product isn't about being the best or even having something good. It's really a matter of branding and marketing strategy.

    Rebrand kodak to a bespoke camera with a bunch of little camera accessories, a small preview screen but a bunch of little knobs, lean into the fact that it's not a smart phone. Print on the device like those urban outfitter cameras, make a snapchat style camera that will only keep photos for a day, do something different and target a specific audience and they could be revived as something different. Work on making a camera that can't be reproduced by ai, human authenticity fingerprints for images or something.

    Kodak as it was will very likely never make a comeback. They didn't keep up.

  • The 90s irony of this post being made by someone who deems themselves the exception is pure comedy.

    "99% of startups fail" Then two paragraphs later "90% of startups fail"

    I don't hate on the core concept, starting a business is hard, but what value does this article bring to anyone? It's giving "just put the fries in the bag"

  • What are your predictions for 2025?

    Jump
    • powell ousted from the fed and govt seized control, leading to a massive change in fed funds rate
    • prison for political enemies of trump, specifically schiff, pelosi, and a few of the louder voices in the room. Prison for some state leaders, MA and CA especially
    • nationwide ban of gay marriage, nationwide laws against abortion
    • capital gains reduced significantly, 20% now down to 10%
    • vpn ban
    • trump pushing for national acceptance of a cryptocurrency he has significant stake in, as an official act
    • palestine, ukraine, and taiwan falling. Tremendous suffering continues or starts for the people of those nations
    • Russia furthers its invasion into europe
    • Muslims begin to be treated as scapegoats for trumps vitriol, the next victims after general immigrant deportations
    • A new amendment to the constitution is proposed and passes to allow more terms for trump, with clearly questionable acceptance in state legislatures, perhaps under direct threat of jail

    God I hope I'm wrong.

    Dating someone who's separated but not divorced (no divorce plans) - immoral?

    Jump

  • Immoral? No, especially if they're in an open relationship.

    A little unusual? Yeah, I'd personally want to talk to the spouse one on one before ever agreeing to something like that. There are billions of people on the planet, surely there is someone that is available for you and not legally committed to somebody else

  • Shove your office mandates, people still prefer working from home

    Jump

  • Unfortunately return to office mandates were never about worker preferences, it's obvious workers prefer wfh, but with employers holding all the cards or course they'll push to return to office

  • Using Mac M2 Ultra 192GB to Self-Host LLMs?

    Jump

  • I do this on my ultra, token speed is not great, depending on the model of course, a lot of source code sets are optimized for Nvidia and don't even use native Mac gpu without modifying the code, defaulting to cpu. I've had to modify about half of what I run

    Ymmv but I find it's actually cheaper to just use a hosted service

    If you want some specific numbers lmk
