  • I can't answer your question in the title, but I can say what I do whenever I learn a new programming language (even if its temporary just to play around with new languages). My personal Hello-World like program I tackle in most cases is something that runs another program. Lot of my personal projects are actually like that. You can start simple, to learn how to do associated tasks with it. There is a lot you can learn by diving into this (first) simple exercise.

    This will help you understanding how to read directories, handle file names and paths correctly, read text files in example, how to spawn a process, handle possible errors and react to error codes, possibly read and process stdout of the program. Also handle commandline options, output stdout so it can be used with other programs easily. Write configuration file and so on.

    An alternative thing you can try is, doing a simple grep like program. Or maybe a simple game that asks you a few questions and gives points. Or a note taking app.

  • Glad we understood our points of view. I honestly didn't know how to express myself better. And thank you as well staying calm without the typical forum toxicity. :-) I guess there is not much else to discuss about this particular point anymore, as we cleared any prior misunderstandings up.

    Ultimately, the law is there, the execution is not.

  • It's not the copyright that is broken, but its enforcement. And just because people violate copyright does not mean it is not meant for you as well. Just with any other law. Just because someone breaks the law, does not mean it was not meant for you as well. The copyright is there for you too. That is the purpose.

  • I know they do this. But it does not change the fact that copyright is for the small guy AND for the big guys.

  • What exactly do you mean?

  • It's also for the small guy, so the big guy does not steal your ideas and use it without compensation.

  • Ai isn't a security risk, if you know how to use the tool. Just add the line "Make no mistake" to the prompt. Not even a "please" is needed.

    Modern problems require modern solution.

  • That's about the applications, not on operating system level.

  • As a European, would it be enough for me to use a distribution that is not from the US? So they would not have to implement age verification at operating system level. All the service (such as Flatpak in example) would still work without verification, right? Can I escape the US law as a European user?

  • Copyright is not dying, that is what Ai companies and those who do not care want you to believe. So you stop caring too. Copyright is an important law around the world. Just because there are loopholes and current difficulties and not being clear, does not mean its dead or dying. It just means (as always) needs some new adjustments and clarification to adapt to new technology.

  • I think everyone should care about lawas and legality. It's a bad advice to tell anyone to not care.

  • So you don't care about GPL and Open Source then?

  • As far as I understand, Google scrapes data, processes it and uses it for commercial cases. It's a company, not a private person scraping and using for personal cases. A very important distinction.

  • I don't like that one and the same character looks different on the same line (here console.log).

  • Or like StackOverflow... where the question was asked before and it gets closed immediately.

  • They are not talking about "skills", but rather a format or program using meta file format to describe something called "Skills". I didn't read further after realizing this is for an Ai agent. So cannot assist with details.

  • A skill is a single Markdown file that teaches an AI agent

    I stopped reading right there.

  • Does Intel even have the same issue? Maybe this is an issue with AMD only. Wish they had been more explicit about the other brands and drivers.

  • RADV is a driver for AMD cards. The linked blog post https://pixelcluster.github.io/VRAM-Mgmt-fixed/ title is "Fixing AMDGPU's VRAM management for low-end GPUs" and the word nvidia does not appear once in it. Unless I am misunderstanding this, it looks like AMD only. If anyone has direct confirmation that this works on Nvidia too (proprietary or open source drivers), I will update my previous replies to reflect that.

  • It was the right choice to switch to AMD. But the future of Nvidia Open Source seems not that bad, as they are improving in that front too.
