If you think stealing code is wrong, I will have you know that that was a feature long before LLMs existed. Steal my code, take it.

And unlike art/music/writing where this is impossible, if you don’t want to share code, close-source your project.

History repeats itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DelF6zEHXpE

Telling a person who doesn’t know better to just do better will at best do nothing and at worst exacerbate the problem.

Sure, telling people to do better makes me feel better about myself, but it does nothing beyond that.

I guess we can then tell people who don’t know better to just magically do better. That will fix it.

Please do, let’s just call them LLMs.

Holy shit, Bucky! Enjoy these dusted tomes!

Call of Duty Black Ops 1. It needed something called a “steam qccount” to work? Couldn’t just install and play it straight from the disk?

Ah, the timing chain slipped out, this should be a quick fix. The manual says to… REMOVE THE ENTIRE ENGINE FIRST!?

That’s right.

Just because you’re a minority born and raised in a struggling household in a bad neighbourhood, that doesn’t give you an excuse to act like an asshole. Do better.

Just because you have Autism/ADD/other that doesn’t mean its ok to be an asshole to people. You’ve lived with that condition for long enough that you should be able to manage it. Do better.

I agree with the underlying message, what I have an issue with is that it’s portrayed as a universal rule.

Of course.

Nord as in the NordVPN Nord?

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

And that is why the collapse of current hype is inevitable.

Which isn’t happening. AI can be run autonomously for simple tasks, but not the complex ones which are actually what costs the most. The quality of LLM output depends on the quality of input. GIGO holds.

I’ve seen a lot posts against systemd, most of them citing the unix principle as the main argument. But as a user on a desktop computer I don’t understand why would it be bad. Could someone explain it to me?

Any proton alternatives that are in EU and at least are not under the jurisdiction of 5 eyes?

I always thought that one day Linux would beat Windows. Now I see that this is impossible, and the only one who could defeat Windows is Windows itself.

The solution is to normalize the outliers by having multiple people. Having 1 person in charge will make a nutcase inevitable one day. Having a 10-person council would require at least 6 nutcases in a single cycle to gain majority, which is very unlikely. And for congresses you up that to ~100 or more.

I also believe you’re overestimating competence in current governments. Take any council, any senate, you will see most of them attended the same universities, hung around in the same circles, and so on. Even though you technically have a number of different people, their experience in life overlaps so much you effectively have very few distinct opinions in the room. By randomly selecting applicants you guarantee the greatest diversity of opinions, and thus potential solutions to problems.

Here’s what happens when you get 150 randomly selected people in a room and tell them to lower emissions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Convention_for_Climate#Proposals

It is true and I agree that somehow getting the right people in the right positions would be ideal, but the less random a selection process is, the greater the influence that can be exerted over it. I believe the human species would have to fundamentally be different in order to have a more effective selection process than random.

As long as its an election, becoming a statesman isn’t decided by how good you are at your job, but how good you are at winning popularity contests. And all measures put in place would would get dismantled eventually.

I believe a true democracy would be better - a lottery. Go up to the box, put your name in, lots are drawn randomly and you have your council/senate/whatever. Terms limited to 2-6 years.

A randomly chosen group without overall malicious intentions will always be more effective than a group of educated, elected, “representatives”.

My recommendation: https://mornye.com/

Supports multiple music services, use whichever service you want to find music, rip metadata from whichever has the most complete, then rip the music from whichever has the highest quality (yes, FLAC). Drop your spotify playlist and it will download all of it. The sublime embedding of lyrics and ReplayGain tags. My god, it even has a builtin player and library management, available on mobile and desktop.
