"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • I’m an AI user, where’s my money?

    While I was actually looking for someone to break my model with a better one with better info, this is a pretty useless argument.

    To get money, you need to:

    1. make some half-baked product with chutzpah
    2. Use charisma to get others to vibe with it on a social media platform
      • this is easy if you know how to do the social acting that "normies" do
    3. Appeal to the ones in power, while convincing them that you used AI to make it, will be using more AI and will do some subscription stuff
    4. Find a way to inherit Venture Capital.

  • Yeah. The current job market shows a different trend.

    With people saying "people using AI will replace people not using AI".And the reason for that is not because people using AI will produce better work, but because AI usage will be preferred over usable output.

    And because the flow of money is such that all those having money can easily choose to give most of it to AI users^[with the only exception being base material products like agricultural produce, which has a much lower margin and their costs again go to AI users] while non-AI users don't have the same ability once most providers turn to AI use.

    Now as long as you get the Governments on board (they are already buying up GPUs too) you can get all taxes into AI use, hence starving the non-AI market of ability to procure computing hardware (or anything else to work on) and that is how you get AI supremacy without providing anything better.

  • git recent: what branch did I work on?

    Jump

  • Oh nice.Although it is not much of a problem for me now, since I get to see the branch name at the start of every prompt and can just scroll up to see the previous branch, it should be pretty useful for when I am not doing that or maybe closed my terminal.

  • Is Ubuntu Treating Its Users as If They Can’t Be Trusted?

  • Maybe it's just trying to be Linux, for Windows users.

  • that escalated quickly

  • For Android, we are pretty close.For Linux, well, as long as I can get a cellular device that works with Linux ^[could be either a mobile device (smartphone/tablet) or an USB/PCIe WWAN accessory having a Linux compatible cellular chip that also works viably on mobile devices, so I can do the testing.] I am willing to take up development on the Linux branch of the same project. I have actually been considering this for a while and this is the only blocker I see.

  • Just if it worked with international payments.

    Currently, International GPay required a credit/debit card and I am unaware of a proper UPI solution for it.Also, we lack proper FOSS UPI for Linux despite efforts, due to it being dependent on cellular networks.

  • I bought 3 HMD (Nokia) phones back-to-back.

  • Because any real life use that might come to mind would probably be related to some NDA protected database in a company.And it is otherwise hard to think of anything at the spot, so just go with what the first example on the web-search came up with.

  • commonly agreed to be a Good Thing

    So, did they open access their trained model weights?

    it still can prevent complete rookies from making thousands of requests per second with a simple python script

    So now you can know that if you are getting DOS'ed, it is actually malicious.

  • While Python seems fine to me, JS is where it becomes too un-hard for me.I have to use QML quite frequently in my work (which is based on JS) and make a point of including as less program logic as possible in QML and transfer any input to C++ code in as few steps as I can. Essentially keeping QML just for Markup and leaving the program to C++.

  • Wasn't the real reason for that, that all of those things still require the user to treat it is a logic system and feed proper logic in some or the other way (which might be not coding, but is still programming)?And since the non-technical people are actually bad at logic itself, it was useless to them. I would see those tools being useful to any other kind of engineer that is not into coding (like a civil/mechanical engineer), who can do logic, but not into coding or even computers.On the other hand, the user treats AI is a non-logical system, kinda like another person. And I see the business/marketing/hype types getting better at it. I, for one, find it much easier and faster using a hard logic system (the harder, the better) and programming suits me, while I find AI exhausting.

  • Code quality will not improve.

    1. People's expectations will go down.
    2. Normal programmers will be phased out of the industry.
    3. Educational systems will change, leading to no normal programmers for OSS.
    4. Once Gen AI companies get enough power, they will start increasing rates, citing costs.
    5. Vibe coding will become as expensive and time taking as current programming, but giving worse output.
    6. It will be tagged "inflation".

    Source?The same thing is currently happening with all factory type industries, which were originally workshop based and customisation friendly.

    1. They got overthrown by mass-production models, due to lower costs.
    2. Now mass produced stuff has lower creation costs but has higher shipping costs, so no real benefit after forgoing quality for quantity.
    3. All stuff is more expensive to buy than it would have been with the workshop based industries being dominant.
      • This causes increase in living expenses for everyone including the people working in the few remaining workshop producers
    4. Now workshop stuff is again more expensive than mass-produced stuff and can only be considered when one has enough stability and saving ability.
      • And lack of workshops will mean that even those are hard to find.
