The same reaction whenever I look at haskell. A "pure" language with an escape hatch that has a fancy name. Once you open the escape hatch, you can write entirely impure code in Haskell and never see a pure function in your life. So much for "pure".
Then a lot of proprietary code cannot be copyrighted 🤷 Honestly, if AI destroys copyright, it's the best thing it can do.
And we have already seen how it can be uses against proprietary software: write specs, implement code that fulfills specs, 🎉, closed source is now opensource . Amazing.
There seems to be a correlation between doing productive things for fun and higher intelligence and education
Correlation does not mean causation. Many people do productive things because they can. And being productive is also very dependent on definition.
If you're uneducated, unlucky enough to grow in a household where ideas aren't valued and failure is mocked or success belittled, and of course poor, chances are great you will not do much in life.
However, if you're poor, surrounded by motivated individuals who thrive to be successful and push you to be educated, and they do what they van to get you into school, there's a good chance you will succeed.
The biggest problems are lack of access to good education and opportunity. "High intelligence" is just an excuse to confuse success with intelligence and hard work. That's not how our society works.
there’s one thing that hinders unflake and native implementations alike, though: no one knows what the flakes are. documentation is lacking, and knowledge either spreads by word of mouth or is obtained by reading the source code.
And here we have the reason I don't use flakes. If their own developers don't understand them, what kind of confidence does that give?
Thank you for finding that and providing a source!
So there will always be 100 and always 0 and that can be 100 searches in that time period or 1 billion. It's not very useful unless you've seen absolute numbers, IMO.
Mais surtout, il ne faut pas se tromper de combat : /e/OS permet à ses utilisateurs d’échapper à la collecte massive de données personnelles qui s’opère dans les smartphones du marché, pas d’aider les pédocriminels à passer sous les radars de la justice. Autrement dit : /e/OS n’est pas un système avec un objectif de sécurité durcie et qui serait utile seulement à des personnes ciblées.
English translation (by deepl)
But above all, we must not confuse the issue: /e/OS allows its users to avoid the massive collection of personal data that takes place on smartphones currently on the market—it is not designed to help child sex offenders evade the law. In other words: /e/OS is not a system designed for enhanced security that would be useful only to specific individuals.
@gael@mastodon.social Could you please explain why you keep bringing up the example of pedophiles and and child sex offenders? It's giving the impression that you're equating people desiring high security to pedophiles.
Ah, GrapheneOS, who else? Can someone provide the source? What was the question he was asked?
Edit:
Found it. Interview is in french, on YouTube. I just ran it through a transcriber and a translator, so something might get lost in translation.
Basically he was being asked about "who is your threat model, the the government?". Then he brings up pedophiles and government employees or the CIA. I'm assuming he's putting them in the same box because of the threat model, but I tagged him and would like a response from him.
No need to do it yourself. Let someone do it for you. There's Communickwhich can also setup a matrix server for you (in addition to Lemmy). There might be others, but I dont know of them.
I'm cleaning up AI slop but have been tasked with using more AI to do it faster and deliver more features. Doesn't matter to me. I'm getting paid 🤷 It'll be somebody else's problem soon enough, if the company survives.
My eye will be on the job market soon and I do wonder what it will be like. It seems like AI is eroding the minds of many.
