8·7 days agoThings like this radicalize people against all AI.
A bit unrelated, but I wonder if I’m the only one left that is:
- Using small, open-weight models
- Asking it to only write small snippets that I can easily go through, check and understand.
- Copying pasting from good old web frontends instead of integrating it into my editor or whatever else people do with agents nowadays.
I feel like when we’re talking about AI this sort of usage gets lumped into the same pile as agentic vibe coding and it’s not helpful for discussion. Surely most people wouldn’t find this problematic?
but it might be fairly compared to the Cotton Gin in terms of making the field workers more productive in the delivery of market ready code/cotton.
Last i heard was that developers FELT like it made them more productive but actually not so much.
I don’t really understand after reading the article what changed? All they did was quote discords blog post from February and this random twitter account … that also had no sources.
Not to mention the article is AI slop.
Is this like some sort of reminder or something? huh?
Cinny is ok.
9·18 days agoI think it’s helpful to separate the problems of the technology itself from all the BS that big tech companies engage in when developing and pushing it.
Say you only use small, open-weight models that are hosted locally in a data center that is conscientious, environmentally clean, has strict data privacy policies and doesn’t pull the bullshit big-tech do.
You use them minimally and responsibly, you don’t over-rely on them. Is there a problem in that case?
What /s ?
"Free members get access to posts like this one along with an email round-up of our week’s stories.
I even have an account and have access to the article.
If you sign up they let you read it for free. But yes archive link is good to provide as most will not bother to sign up
It’s a site where you ask questions and people (hopefully experts) answer. That was the main idea behind it. But it was filled with garbage, unhelpful answers and it just went downhill.
Also yeah the fact that Reddit is more popular than Youtube is really weird to me and I don’t quite believe it.
How the hell is Quora more popular than youtube … huh ? Who in their right mind still uses Pinterest and Quora???
2·24 days agoIf you hear ai generated convos they sound pretty brain dead (unresponsive, no idiosyncrasies) so far.
Idk… I think they’re getting pretty good. A year or so back I tried notebooklm’s podcast feature with 2 people I was shocked how realistic the generated sample was. But maybe you’re right this does seem a level up.
at least it won’t require passport for signing up anymore lol
The popular Chinese alternative to YouTube, Bilibili, with around 376 million monthly active users, has confirmed plans to expand more aggressively outside China. The company has relaunched its international app for Android and iOS, and removed the previous requirement for overseas users to provide identity documents such as a passport.
Bilibili is also expanding its international presence with hiring in markets including Japan, the United States, and Europe. A new X account aimed at global creators has said that Bilibili is “going global” and that the US and Chinese versions will offer the same content
Wait … EndeavourOS? That’s arch linux, a PC operating system. Did you confuse something?
Samsung hardware
Fairphone sustainability / repairability
Pixel / GrapheneOS privacy
Chinese prices
Dream phone of mine.
My browser clears all cookies from Reddit when I close it down. And every time I go to the new Reddit site, it auto logs me in with my Google account. In some other sites there’s the annoying “log in with google account” popup at the top; it doesn’t do anything if you don’t click to log in. But Reddit doesn’t ask. Just says: “Logging you in” and you can click cancel if you’re fast enough.
They even auto create you an account if they do this for the first time.
Awhile ago they were also experimenting forcing mobile users to use the app
And now they’re also rolling out age verification in the EU (just got an email yesterday). One of the ways to verify your age is with Persona which Discord also tried to use and got a lot of backslash.
What’s the difference between single vs double quotes?
I use bash and it did throw that error, however the
find . | egrep *.pyexample at the end did not.
I could never get much into online gaming because it’s a full time job keeping up with the meta and if you are not highly skilled you are just cannon fodder.
Some, yes, but certainly not all of them.
I’ve been playing The Finals and it’s a great casual game. I think I average like 6 hours a week or something. The matches are short, toxicity is low and its fun. Most of its player-base are casuals, a lot of console players. And it’s designed in a way that even if you have bad teammates or lose you can still have a lot of fun since the main game-mode is 3v3v3 or 3v3v3v3, has fun movement and a completely destructible environment. Just blowing shit up is enough enjoyment on its own.
If it’s for blog posts and sharing some point across in writing, I found https://bearblog.dev/ to be great. It’s not completely “yours”, but it’s a great middle ground.
