I use Jerboa but should probably switch as it seems lackluster.

Thanks for the info

A sideline here : how do you tag people?

I still have a wallet in there to keep my IDs and important cards

This is 2015 all over again where IoT hit mainstream consumers and every project on Kickstarter was a simple thing that doesn’t need Bluetooth with added Bluetooth.

Still scummy as fuck.

This is just the first of many, slow changes to close off Android and milk the userbase.

It would be interesting to quantify how fast a skill like reading can degrade (or can degrade at all).

In that sense, ChatGPT could effectively affect the reading comprehension if the users ask the LLM to dumb down the response for example.

A stan is a hardcore fan. Stanned is the verb of that expression

My experience in using the government phone services through the years have always been positive, especially compared to non governmental services.

I have setup NetBird with Authentik. Netbird is on a VPS and authentik on my home server.

NetBird allows to expose a service through a subdomain. Or you can use the netbird client as a VPN and allow peer to peer connection.

“Everything I don’t like is socialist”

Probably not, but software engineering has been captured by shitty management and MBA and doing the correct engineering process isn’t encouraged.

Everything has to ship yesterday and every bugs will be fixed tomorrow unless it affects the bottom line.

So lots of software engineers move from companies to companies getting burned out and not giving a shit anymore. They don’t care about what’s shipped because almost every advice they give is ignored, and every process is bypassed. So they are there for the paycheck, so might as well get paid more.

Communism in the strictest sense is the means of production are owned by the state.

The classless doctrine was proposed by Marx and is often inferred when talking about communism.

You can absolutely have a communist society with a caste system.

Water isn’t lost per say, but overusing a water source will deplete it, altering the environment around with no way of knowing how severe the effects will be.

Also, the rejected water can be contaminated (especially with the US relaxing the environment laws)

Energy use is also an issue, but the impact is a lot less severe than water use.

Yeah, but they thought they would be the one that would be able to harness AI. Like all the others

I think it’s important that people see these conversations. Not everyone is aware of the impact of LLMs and if it changes the mind of at least a person, this is not a wasted effort.

I don’t feel like OP is a robot with how its response are written, but we never know.

I said it in a previous comment: we are not here to debate LLM use.

You are right, but people want to know if you used LLMs or not because they might not want to use a project with LLM generated code.

Because LLMs are less ethical than humans, of course. :)

Ethics vary from person to person. We are in a programming community, so the focus is on code and not other subjects.

I am not brave enough to carry on my own shoulders the fight against the consequences of a world that has always run after “I need more”. I admit it

I understand the feeling and I do not blame people for using LLM but companies and corporations for pushing LLM down our throats. It could have been a nice tool, but now its effects are a net negative for the planet in the hope of capturing the market. But this isn’t the place to discuss that.

If we are talking ethics seriously, the browser you used to type these lines, the terminal, the text editor, the compiler, the PC, the phone, all of those raise much bigger ethical questions than an AWS services emulator that the audience here has not even tested. (Yes, that one is a bit of a troll.)

It doesn’t mean that using a LLM doesn’t have an impact because other factors have bigger impact. Every small decision we make has an impact in the long run, but this isn’t the community to discuss that.

I wasn’t the original OP you were responding to, but I felt compelled to give you a reason why people want to know about if a LLM is used or not because this is a hot topic and and I subject I feel strongly about.

I think that in the current context, presenting a project to the public like that will inevitably bring the question about LLM uses.

You have been open and concise about how Claude was used and from that point on, how people react to it is not in your control.

I appreciate that you responded thoroughly to my reply, even though it wasn’t needed.

People want to know about LLM use for various reason.

I think the main reason is an ethical one. LLMs use a lot energy, datacenters are bad for the environment, people lose their job due to AI, LLMs are trained on stolen data. There is many reasons why someone would not want an LLM project.

And let’s be real, there is a lot of issues with app being vibe coded and being shit real fast.

So when presenting a project to the world, people will definitely ask, and you can respond or not, and be on your way.

It’s naive to think that people won’t use LLMs, but it’s also naive to think that people only care about the end results, especially on a platform where people are generally more sensitive to ethical considerations.

My point is that even pre-built PCs are cheaper and better in every way other than size.

Size is a big factor here. Steam made a console sized PC.

There isn’t a lot of PC case that size. And the list of PC parts for SFF are limited and more expensive than their normal counterparts.

So yeah, if you want a full tower PC in your living room, don’t buy the Steam Machine. But I haven’t seen a PC build of that size cost less.

Tales as old as KPI.

Yes I do have experience, in fact it’s core to my job.

The cost to design is significant and wasting a few years of development is not a light decision. So Valve either had to scrap the design and waste the development cost, or price it according to the current PC parts prices

You are right that people can DIY, but it always was an option and people still buy ready-made computers, so that’s a moot point.

The price for comparable parts and same form factor isn’t far off from DIY.
