But isn't it unsecure if you connect it to networks or worse, the internet? I would use Windows 7 ONLY in a virtual machine, or alternatively on real machine that is not connected to the internet.
To be totally fair, I don't mind people being critical about Linux in our Linux community. And he brings up a few good points, but loses in some other. And so the arguments he has are muddied with his tone as well, that it comes over as a toxic comment rather than a critical comment pointing real issues.
I'm a Linux fanboy, but even I realize there are problems. And its okay to talk about problems. But its not okay in the tone he did. In my opinion.
While the author does not like Copilot or Ai tools for this task, the entire article is not about Copilot itself. The author makes points and points out why the statistics and article from Github/Microsoft is nonsense and misleading at best, or even straight up lies at worst. Its not just that Github is biased here, hey first straight up lie with the statistics and why the brought up points of Github makes no sense or are misleading. The author of this article did actually a good job of breaking it down and explains each point.
which makes it a no-brainer commercially
There is no such thing as "no-brainer commercially" when Ai is involved. If you turn off your brain because you are using Ai, then you are using Ai wrongly. And soon you will find yourself in trouble, especially if its commercially used.
Because its a "study" and "statistics" and not an "advertisement", it does not fall under the laws of ads I assume. And why too many take this seriously, because it presents numbers... Microsoft is not the only company doing this, but one of the strongest companies to fight against. It's actually depressing.
To me it makes sense. If you shake, the cursor gets bigger. If you are not able to see and find it, then it makes sense to shake more until you find it. There is no harm, so its fine (but also agree on being hilarious).
I don't mean this in a toxic way, but this is probably the worst idea I have seen yet with Ai in programming. People should use less Ai, and learn more how to program. It's better in the long term.
Is the language and interpretation predictable and exact? If you install a newer version of the Ai, can the exact same code behavior be guaranteed? What's the benefit over using Ai tools that generate code in a static language, instead leaving it to be interpreted?
This is a lot going on there. I'm thankful the blog poster did a content warning, I truly appreciate that. It's a bit too hard subjects to read for me, so not going into details now.
BTW I'm on beehaw and your reply looks like this to me, in case if it helps to see if it federates the way you was expecting it:
If you think that’s WTH-worthy, then you definitely shouldn’t read the /r/cpp thread (sample comments: [1][2]).
If anyone wants to know more about this subject and missed this article: The long road to lazy preemption on LWN net By Jonathan Corbet from October 18, 2024
Games: you want your inputs handled ASAP, ideally <5ms, but if one or two happen after 100ms, you’ll likely not notice. If you enable RT, maybe all your inputs get handled after 10ms consistently, which ends up feeling sluggish.
Actually I think its the other way for gaming: If you have consistent input delay, it will not feel sluggish. Same why consistent 30 fps feels better than varying 31 to 39 fps. Similar for gaming, especially if you play speedrun or 1vs1 fighting games, you would want to have consistent delay. However, if that adds too much delay its probably counterproductive. But for single player games, a consistent delay is the opposite of sluggish.
As I understand it, most kernel operations can’t be interrupted (i.e., they’re non-preemptible). But PREEMPT_RT allows high-priority tasks to interrupt lower-priority ones near-instantly. For specific types of tasks this improves response times and thus performance.
I never looked into the details of realtime Kernel. I know it is or was used for professional realtime audio mixing and recording and such. Besides that, if this improves response times, would gaming benefit from this? What are downsides for using a realtime Kernel for gaming?
Thanks, lol. I hope they realize soon that Rust is not forced to be used. Also the US government didn't even talk about Rust only, but memory safe languages and listed Rust as an example.
There’s no such thing as a language that’s advantages outweigh the security risks of rushed development to convert decades of tested code.
Who said or suggested that anyway? Other than bringing this up now. Who says to convert decades of tested code to rushed code of new language?? Do people read the stuff before they reply?
