“Can we get an AI tool to save pdfs?”

“Do not under any circumstance…” bounces right of LLMs

I think I have seen versions from the same restaurant but another person sitting calmly. But maybe I am wrong

I feel like I have seen multiple such fight memes from this restaurant. What is going on there? Are they ok?

There are flavours of linux that allow you to just click and install compatible file types. You can easily use Ubuntu your whole life without touching the terminal. Using the terminal allows you to do certain things much faster and easier but that is a skill you need to train if you want to use it.

If you are however talking about trying to run an originally windows native game in linux, then that might turn out to be an advanced problem. So you need to be patient and likely try couple different solutions (starting with the most recent dated one and paying attention to version numbers etc). It might even turn out to be impossible. That is an inescapable consequence of using a non main stream OS, not a problem of the OS itself. But given how the gaming world is shifting to linux, that might change in future and windows users (if any) might start complaining about how hard it is to port games to windows.

I agree this sounds super academic. There is a more immediate theeat which are the wave of AI generated bug reports and then answering back to corrections of these reports again with LLMs, taking away significant time from people who volunteer their time to the project.

What you already paid money for your OS? Fuck that. Help us sell your data for basic functionality too.

To be fair I have already played quite a few oldies in linux thanks to GOG. Of course in some of these cases it is probably the devs that do the work not GOG but still feels really nice to just be a able to download and install DRM free games and have them work on linux out of the box.

probably meant to be eldritch text beyond our comprehension

I get what you mean, I had a similar kind of feeling when I did maths in my PhD too. I think that is an aptitude for mathematical style of thinking. I also love it when things that seem dissociated from each other suddenly becomes part of a single concept when you do a nice abstraction. I guess that is one of the points of abstraction anyway (reduce the number of building blocks as much as possible while keeping the same richness in end results).

I think the trill comes from the feeling that “I can do it better” if it is already done before or “I finally understand this in enough detail to build a nice abstraction” if not

Every family has that weird cousin (it might be me in our case…)

Do we have a rule 34 analogue for Linux distros?

I would also have expected to see some mild insults (he has improved quite alot in terms of toning himself down).

I did too have a look at the post for the same reasons and did visit some of the links given there. Honestly it looks more to me like tribalism than anything, see for instance comments and discussions here:

I think by now both groups are so entrenched in their position that they convey things from a strongly biased position and don’t have any desire to find a common ground.

occupational hazards: being the first victim of a robot uprising and not getting to see the apocalypse

This is from their website:

"Guided by our values A lot of companies have stated values. At MongoDB, we live by them. Not just on some days. But every day.

Embrace the Power of Differences

A diverse workforce is the best way to broaden perspectives, foster innovation, and build a sustainable competitive advantage. That’s why we commit to creating a culture of belonging. A culture where people of different origins, backgrounds, and experiences feel valued and heard."

When are they just gonna give up with these HR bullshit?

all your base are belong to us

Having a working understanding of what an AI is what it can and can not do, how to identify etc will likely be critical going further. Just because AI hype is a balloon does not mean goverments, coorporations will stop using AI for surveillance, propaganda etc once it pops. So better get acquainted with it.

But if there is such a list of requirements they should also add critical thinking to it.

I myself prefer unholy capitalism in lieu of pure capitalism
