  • What's an idea for a movie/game/book that you've had but never done anything with?

    Jump

  • I feel like this is common in crime thrillers or mystery stories. Revealing each person's perspective like puzzle pieces to the crime. Most recent one I remember that follows a similar structure is the movie Weapons

  • For those that like the cli, you can use flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.stremio.Stremio to scroll through the list of past versions, and look for the "Commit" id of the version you want, then do:

     
        
flatpak update --commit=<commit id> com.stremio.Stremio

    Then use flatpak mask to prevent further updates.

  • Reading the comments, wow AI is polarizing. Neither side will budge.

    I guess only time will tell, to see if all the AI code will actually come crashing down.

  • Good open source projects often last years or decades

    This sounds like a no-true-scottsman argument. Go check github, literally a graveyard of dead open source projects, most made before AI. The harsh reality is that most projects don't gain much traction, and so the owner moves on.

    if you don't directly write code debugging is hell and all the gains vaporize

    Imo this depends on how you use it. I'd agree with you that I bet a lot of vibe coders didn't take formal classes in CS. So they probably aren't writing great code. But without AI, they probably wouldn't have any code at all. So compared to their non-AI non-CS buddies, they will feel "ahead" and might very well be, if they capitalize on their initial success correctly (like using the initial traction to get investers, and then going on to hire an actual engineer to re-write the project). Many start-ups start with an initial throwaway prototype. Not being constrained by "best practices" is great for prototypes.

    those who did study and are forced to use it by their boss always describe it as bad

    I'd add a caveat that those who are forced to use it, and don't make personal projects in their free time, describe it as bad. Part of the reason professiomals don't like it is because they are forced to use it. But when they have a choice to use it, and they actually do, then in my experience a lot of these professionals begradgingly accept that it does speed things up.

  • Call me back when most of these projects actually are useful (a lot of stuff posted in various selfhost community are actually rehash of existing things, or provide no actual useful features), live more than a few months without being abandonned, and are not stagnating messes impossible to fix with issues growing faster than a magic bean.

    This was true before AI. Open source projects have always had short life spans. Using AI means that you don't spent forever on a project that might only last a few weeks.

    Using LLM to produce something decent requires a fair amount of work

    Which is why I said you have to be careful when and where you use it. But it does boost productivity if you use it wisely.

  • The joke is about tying the toast to the cat to make a flying machine. If the toast is on the cat it has already landed. If the toast falls off the cat then the cat can land on its feet and the toast can land butter side up, no paradox

  • Because the reality is that you'll ship projects faster. Check out lemmy selfhosted community. I just checked and 8/10 of the latest projects were AI assisted.

    It's not a panacea. For example, don't rely on it for security focused applications. But most evidence suggests that if you are careful about where and how you use AI, you will move faster.

    Yes there are ethical concerns too. We all know them at this point. So the question becomes whether or not those concerns outweigh the human desire to make an impact on the world.

    A lot of activism is bragging rights. Hence the meme about vegans always talking about veganism. But with AI, it's bragging rights on both sides. If you don't use jt you can brag about your environmental concern. If you use it you can brag about all the cool projects you made. Which do you want to brag about?

  • You'll also have to make sure to properly destroy it afterwards. If you re-sell it, the next owner might connect it to the internet and all the stored data will get uploaded.

    Also there's tech like Amazon Sidewalk that allows devices to talk to other devices nearby in a mesh, bypassing your router entirely.
