So much is getting better, social media and negativity bias in general is just making it seem like it’s not.

Just for example, percentage of green energy is steadily rising. Even if it is not fast enough, that is still a constant improvement.

Well that’s what you think, he’s actually just been in hiding in a cave in northern Kazakhstan to escape all that public attention. And now he’s on Lemmy because he did actually get a little lonely.

My mind is a funny place.

But it turns out you are actually Andre the Giant, so you can throw them very far and thus trust them a lot.

I mean how often do you install AUR packages? Usually takes like a minute or so to skim through PKGbuild and the pkg comments and look for obvious issues. And most updates are just a sha hash and version change, taking like 5s to check.

The funny thing about this headline is, human brains are neural networks, so the last sentence could also say

“Soon, neural networks could out think neural networks.”

If it’s open source, there’s roughly a 100% chance someone will make it work on Linux.

Ah, you want memes to not include Argentina anymore, so naturally you make a meme about Argentina instead of one not involving it.

Meh, how often do you really do some serious work where you’re not on your own hardware? Depends on your job I guess, if you’re company tech support and walk around to people’s PCs the whole time, but if you’re a programmer or similar, when are you really not going to do your work on your PC?

It’s not like you can’t work with a default layout afterwards, you’re just going to be a bit slower on one. It really didn’t happen very often for me in years of working.

I simply made my own keyboard layout. Accent grave is just a single press for me, altgr+accent is the “normal” combining one. Also changed äö to () and shift+äö to [].

It’s not that hard, it’s just a markup file I had to copy+modify and put in some folder.

You’re using the wrong language. If it fails, it never worked out of the gate. You should say that it seemed like it’s working, but never actually did.

Clothing (pants) is very much not natural and indeed only enforced by society. If one knows about various indigenous people around the world, one knows pants are not universal.

I actually, in this heat, would love not to have to wear pants or anything really. I’m naked at home all the time. However, if I went outside it’d be indecent.

The thing is, are they really leaving money on the table? Higher prices means less customers, yes, but also higher profits per unit. We don’t actually know right now how many people would be willing to pay these new prices: if it costs twice as much but half the customers are still fine buying it, then profit stayed the same.

The problem is not doing it, the problem is feeding an AI generated text here.

Nice, now even if I become disabled I still won’t be free of a job!

(I recognize that this may be an incredible achievement and quality of life improvement, but the way this news is phrased is absolutely ridiculous)

It does. I’ve been using it as my secrettool for quite a while.

Having to make my bed has a negative effect on my mental health. But yes, that’s why I said to evaluate it individually.

That’s exactly why you should not blindly follow things though. There is literally no advantage to a nicely made bed except that it looks nice. If that is not worth the effort of making the bed, then why would you do it?

Ok, let me rephrase, “it’s quite obviously more profitable”

You’re right. It’s not about the code though, it’s about the interaction with the individual submitting the code. It is natural for humans to want to use language that is meant for communication between humans to actually reach humans.

I’m not talking about the work contributors do, obviously that is invaluable.

But if you do a review, and you see that a function should be extracted at one point to avoid code duplication, is it really faster to tell the contributor that a function needs to be extracted there, compared to just extracting it yourself as you see it?

The value of a review is collaborative truth finding and learning. If there is an LLM on the other end, that’s just not happening.
