@kiki the entire toolset and standard libs to compile and run C# stuff. Microsoft created a version for linux (I suppose to compete with java) and it works, but whenever you update it using a package manager it pulls like 1GB+ of files... Not to mention mono itself is huge.
-
@jestdotty pretty much. Have you ever tried to use Mono on linux?! Worst tooling and package repo I ever seen. It has microsoft written all over It's slow downloads and abusive storage usage. :D
And this is obviously not limited to MS, but It's funny that they happen to be part of the bloat problem on linux eco too somehow -
@SidTheITGuy yeah, the money was grabbed and the people were scammed, so the "experts" left. The greatest of these grifters being fucking Sam Altman, who will, no doubt, mention how they already achieved AGI for the nth time and release yet another identical model.
Truly, anyone can act like an "expert" these days -_- -
The fact that alpine doesn't inherit the issue you mention proves that the problem isn't core linux, but the individual applications that distros package. The core is solid as fuck

What about it you can't believe? This is literally the adoption curve for every hype and buzzword. Absolutely predictable. Many of us were expecting exactly this since day 1 of major adoption of generative AI. People always get overly excited about things they don't understand, then they learn about it and gain experience using it, which removes much of the smoke and mirrors, then they grow desillusioned and finally everyone slowly accepts the thing for what it really is. Some take longer than others, but eventually the trend always follows the standard adoption curve -_-

Sometimes, always sometimes

You're right, Im not cool because I use linux
I use linux because Im cool -
As with all things, the truth is somewhere in the middle

@retoor See, the thing is, I have very specific issues, usually with very low level code and usually trying to test novel algorithms or implement interesting papers... So LLMs usually have very little useful insight for me.
It's great if you tell it "generate the same website template that you've already seen a billion times when scraping the web"
but for anything actually interesting, it's a rubber ducky at best. Sometimes it generates some interesting insights or approaches I didn't know about previously and can catch obvious coding mistakes and edge cases... but it's not really capable of generating novel solutions unless you hold it's hand... And at that point I'm the one providing the detailed spec and design already, it just converts it to subpar, but usually functional code...
which is I'm pretty sure it can't actually replace an engineer at any step of the solution creating process. It can replace code monkeys, but not engineers -
@retoor I mean, I'm not going to pay for a month of something I'm going to test once.
sticking with the free option, which btw is not much better than ChatGPT tbh, didn't help. I solved the issue myself in the end again. Turns out it was an issue in my debugging assumptions and previous computations, but it didn't catch it, even though it calculated tons of numbers for me, it never even considered that some of the values I provided were suspicious and mostly agreed with my obeservations (sycophancy is a massive issue for all LLMs, probably unsolvable since it comes from the alignment training and shitty user-centric data) -
@retoor, @BordedDev
Im gonna try Claude, but god protect you if it also sucks balls. :) -
Try to use it for anything semi-difficult and you'll know what we all think.
Sidenote:
I've been trying to use chatgpt to help me optimize a cuda kernel for the past two days, and the only think it achieved is make me explain to IT why all of it's improvements are moot or outright wrong...
Essentially it worked as a rubby ducky at best, which is valuable, but not a replacement -
Instrumental, LoFi, Coffee shop ambiance, retro chiptune.
I can handle lyrics if I don't need to be too focused and Im just in the flow, but if I need deep focus then lyrics are very distracting to me -
All signs point to 'yes'

Your first post and you waste it on the weakest most basic rage bait. Im not angry, Im just disappointed....
-
@tosensei my bet is their CI/CD is fucked, or someone fucked it without deploying and OP is just the first one to clean up the mess.
That's my guess at least -
To be fair, if I were to spend the rest of my life in prison without a chance of parole I'd rather die anyway. Whats the point of life if your entire life is a small concrete box with other male violent criminals.
Arguably death penaly is mercy at that point. Similarly to euthanasia. I'd rather die quickly than be stuck in a hospital for the rest of my short life (if terminally ill that is)
But we should probably change the death penalty to be a) optional and b) be done via massive heroin dose or something, so you OD on something nice (I don't do a lot of drugs so I can't recommend one lol) -
Is this similar to macs? Macs have a software mechanical click. It's actually a little hammer device that taps the touchpad if you press it and Trigger a click.
It once happened to me that suddenly my work mac's touchpad felt "Stuck" and didn't click until reboot. -
@lorentz can you write some sort of report and charts/infographics regarding the time wasted, attempts, cost, results, time to fix or something like that? POs are not engineers, but they can look at pictures at least

Cured everyone else's headache too

@atheist all the left here would ace an improv class

It's rare to see so many incorrect opinions and misused definitions in one post. Don't even know where to start
-
why? are you planning on abusing it?

I find you need to also became a sales person during interviews and know your customer. You should act differently depending on who interviews you.
Tech interviews with leads can often be more technicaleand geeky. If they are good they will get it. Interviews with HR should usually be focused on the "human" side of things, they like to hear about presentations, team buildings and about you in general.
Of you have a tech Interview where they don't appreciate you geeking out a bit, then you probably dodged a bullet, because a hacker knows a hacker -
The current AI Investment market is the epitome of "Fake it till you make it"
-
Not sure you need to ask, they are HR, that's proof in itself
-
in the name of everyone who had the experience living with limited and slow internet. Please persuade someone to fix it xD I hate this

Imagine the Carbon Footprint. Your colleague probably rivals a small country emissions and should probably start paying emission tax.

The bug is actually in a superposition of both existing and not, until proven guilty. Or something like that...
