If you have no qualms about pretending to be a sexual assault survivor, trauma counselor, and/or a Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter, you meet the dictionary definition of a sociopath. And I don’t give a shit about “oh it’s AI doing it not the people.” I’m sorry, is the AI sentient? No. The humans are, and they chose to run the AI. I don’t even care if those personas were entirely the AI’s creation, if you didn’t stop the AI as soon as you realize it was going there you’re still a horrible person. Same with if you didn’t even check what the AI was doing while running this “”“research”“”

So it segfaults after one whole second instead of immediately?

Can Linux run programs that rely on frameworks like .NET or other Windows-specific libraries?

Isn’t .NET open source and cross platform now? Isn’t there an official Linux runtime? Or is it just the most basic subset of .NET without any of the GUI libraries or other things Windows .NET apps routinely depend on?

Wearing a tech company backpack in public, esoecially in the rougher parts of town, is like wearing a sign that says “scrawny nerd probably with expensive electronics, come rob me.”

I personally like programming too much to ever vibe code as they say. Solving problems and organising things is why I like programming in the first place.

Any legal experts want to weigh in on whether this is even allowed? CC0 by definition has no limitations, but GPL very explicitly has limitations for what the code can be used for, and also applies to derivatives. If it was their own code but was officially submitted to the Linux repo, who owns it and gets to decide how the code can be licensed?

Intel wants laptops to become as modular as desktop PCs

Okay? Then start selling socketed mobile chips again. You’re the one that made laptops unupgradable when you switched to BGA only and now you’re pretending to want a solution to that?

Why not just use and support fully open source alternatives like Krita, Inkscape, Kdenlive, etc instead of giving money to Adobe?

There’s a saying in Mandarin that translates to something like: Being in different professions is like being on opposite sides of a mountain. It basically means you can never fully understand a given profession unless you’re actually doing it.

A door with the best lock possible is still not as secure as no door at all

LLMs can’t even stay on topic when specifically being asked to solve one problem.

This happens to me all the damn time:

I paste a class that references some other classes which I have already tested to be working, my problem is in a specific method that doesn’t directly call on any of the other classes. I tell the LLM specifically which method is not working, I also tell it that I have tested all the other methods and they work as intended (complete with comments documenting what they’re supposed to do). I then ask the LLM to only focus on the method I have specified, and it still goes on about “have you implemented all the other classes this class references? Here’s my shitty implementation of those classes instead.”

So then I paste all the classes that the one I’m asking about depends on, reiterate that all of them have been tested and are working, tell the LLM which method has the problem again, and it still decides that my problem must be in the other classes and starts “fixing” them which 9 out of 10 times is just rearranging the code that I already wrote and fucking up the organisation that I had designed.
