It’s just unsettled law, and the link is basically an opinion piece. But guess who wins major legal battles like this - yep, the big corps. There’s only one way this is going to go for AI generated code

I evaluated matrix a few years ago to try to add chat to my video game. I also evaluated everything else. Sendbird (proprietary, what reddit uses) is crazy expensive. Matrix is complicated and didn’t have a good simple web frontend. XMPP is still pretty good. In the end, I ended up going with IRC v3 which fixes many of the legacy problems of IRC, and that was the best option. I am still scratching my head as to how that’s the state of the art for sending little bits of text back and forth. Don’t get me started on WebRTC, I spent a whole year trying to make a stable video chat app for another project

That’s great! Not that you asked for advice, but the other pieces of enlightenment are (1) work on really broad awareness at the edges of your senses - distant sounds, the weight of your clothes, edges of your vision (2) a joyful gratitude for everything you see / experience. Try doing all of that at once, while on a walk or whatever

Is it all the way silent or are there a different layer of kinda quieter meta-thoughts about how you’re not thinking thoughts rn?

Pretty sure they are all your own thoughts, or none of them are. I’m unclear where thoughts come from. Either way, a big part of meditation is focus training, and while people differ in this ability, everyone can improve - like exercise

I think this generally takes practice, i.e. meditation. The Buddhist lore from the ages is that people can only do this for a few seconds naturally, slowly extending the amount of time, unless they are in a flow state of an activity - like driving a racecar or dancing. But yes it is a superpower, being able to control your mind and emotions, and shut them off

I think this is true to some degree, but not exclusively true; new grads still get jobs. However, I think it’ll take some time for universities to catch up with the changes they need to make to refocus on architecture, systems design & skilled use of LLMs

My opinion is that the demand for software is still dramatically higher than what can be achieved by hiring every single senior dev + LLM. I.e. there will need to be more people doing it in the future regardless of efficiency gains

Argument doesn’t check out. You can still manage people, and they can use whatever tools make them productive. Good understanding of the code & ability to pass PR reviews isn’t going anywhere, nor is programmer skill

Huh I guess it’s “normal” but I hadn’t heard of Linux OSes tracking active user telemetry. Turns out this is a fedora / rpm mechanism that tracks the ip addresses of people updating their system. Something to think about. Archlinux for example does not do any form of this tracking as far as I can tell

I don’t really see a market need for this, just use signal. C++ is also a weird language to use in the modern era, pretty much totally eclipsed by Go or Rust, not that you need performance anyway. Or just use webrtc for p2p connections with a standard TURN/STUN relay for network layouts that prevent direct p2p, this can be done pure web or via apps. Already has audio/video and encryption. XMPP and Matrix are also fine. But as a learning exercise, great project

What the fuck this is the best idea ever

Really, that’s still the case for wine in 2025? It runs most things very well, including 3D

Seems to be 100% Lemmy content

Yes, welcome

Whoa! You can get energy from gravity and spin?? Who would have guessed

Well for once I have to stand up for apple. What makes them different in the AI space is that the inference actually happens on device and is very privacy focused. Probably why it sucks

Idk he makes some pretty wild claims along the way

• AI is only going to become more expensive for corps with time. This has ~never been true in computing, where specialized hardware and optimizations trend costs down
• That marketing managers are dumbass easy marks who are wasting their company money. Every half way decent marketing department measures outcomes and knows exactly how much money is generated by their activities

No cap that might actually keep without boiling your bottles, you have on your hands a tomato shrub XD

Ah my thermometer only reads fahrenheit, so you know I’m naturally confused about temperatures

That’s true, I love taking a hot water bath, and it’s been completely safe so far
