This. This is how i feel about ml/llm/ai tech.
Im going to give a lecture this year about mcp, what it is and what it does, with a live demo of letting an llm see what an application does ( via an reverse engineering api with an mcp endpoint ) and recreate it in .net ( via the build in vscode mcp ).
That, or i might make an old api to access data, attach some mcp endpoints and let a lmm design some basic ( = aka to be validated and build upon by an actual engineer!! ) structures of the data for migration purposes and maybe even let it migrate some data depending on how my poc goes.

The tech is cool as hell, but what its used for and how companies throw it against everything, even if it has no added value, is making me puke and hate it so bad…
Even the way llm’s are trained make me puke. Fuck you all companies out there

Tools are always useful. If its a good thing to (ab)use said tool depends on the tool and if its human or not :p
… And the job for the tool ofc

Nope. The ui framework doesnt support linux at all. None of its cross platform claases and enums have linux. Its stupid because .net and aspcore just work on linux…

Avalon is actually xaml and cross platform. Personally id rather have a razor format of gui code, but xaml is a good second

Winforms of all things haha. Eeuw xD
But thats flipping awesome and i love it! I know xamarin was wpf being cross platform with mono, but thats a dead horse thanks to microsoft haha

LOL, didnt know maui naming was taken before. Hilarious

.net
.net cli apps are cross platform and can be portable :p
Gui in .net isnt fully cross platform ( maui is everything except linux ) but frameworks like avalonia ( .net ) and imgui fix all that :')

And that macos often breaks things because of new access/‘security’ policies hehe.

Also, to counter all of this : c++ & qt or .net and avalonia (because maui doesnt support linux… )

I disagree. Though both qwerty layout, uk english > us english/international layout.
The enter key alone makes it better as is :p

Yup. I have yet to play around with wayland since im a linux mint user but look forward to it. I know what xserver intended to solve and weve gone way past those times. Something new is needed, and i hope wayland can integrate ui a lot better than xserver can. From what ive heard there are things wayland cant do that xserver can ( like stitching 2 monitors together and make it act like 1 ) but that wont stop me from trying and looking for performance differences

Not really. Linux mint/cinnamon is lacking behind on wayland support. Im still waiting for them to finish it but its going very very slowly.

With debian and ubuntu switching by default, i think linux mint will have to change gears quickly

Oh lordie eeuw. But ye i asked for the general vibe because quoting it would be useless haha

As a .world user, in broadlines, what did they say?

The only reason they want the status quo is because if they would want to separate taiwan would be hell on earth lol

Which is what you see happening when updating or reinstalling a gpu driver.

Funny thing is, gpu drivers can still cause a bsod by causing fuckups in the directx driver, which ive seen happen :')

You think ive touched the apt commands in linux…?
I mean, youre right, but thats because i like to be hands on. But i dont have to if i wanted :p

Op inverted. apt update updates the local package cache of apt so it knows what packages have updates. apt upgrade then installs those updates.

Ye derp, im used to 32, not 32k lol.

Cache man, its a fun thing. 32k 32 (derp, 32 not 32k) is a common cache line size. Some compilers realise that your data might be hit often and aligns it to a cache line start to make its access fast and easy. So yes, it might allocate more memory than it should need, but then its to align the data to something like a cache line.
There is also a hardware reasons that might also be the case. I know the wii’s main processor communicates with the co processor over memory locations that should be 32k aligned because of access speed, not only because of cache. Sometimes, more is less :')

Hell, might even be a cause of instruction speed that loading and handling 32k of data might be faster than a single byte :').

Then there is also the minimum heap allocation size that might factor in. Though a 32k minimum memory block seems… Excessive xD

Wanna bet its ai scrappers? Im part of multiple communities who have all been under serious ai scrapper bot ‘attacks’. We are talking millions and millions of requests in minutes by the bots. Its complete bonkers what those fucking bots are doing
