  • 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux

    Jump

  • I haven't booted windows in like 6 months and I game on my desktop PC like 4 times a week.

    Edit: also https://www.protondb.com/ distinguishes reports between steam deck and PC so you can see that people are using both there as well.

  • Surely some of this is creative writing... I'm just going to pretend it all is for my sanity

  • California Supreme Court declines to stop Newsom's redistricting plan

    Jump

  • Yes it's at the top of the list with citizens united and first past the post... Everyone knows it's bullshit.

  • Exposes? Everybody that pays attention has known about the bullshit that is gerrymandering forever.

  • Read the Following Manual

    Jump

  • This is my exact experience with a lot of things. I just skimmed through the first party documentation for $thing and it pays huge dividends over time when compared to trying to learn from the relatively context-sparse stack overflow or chatbot

  • Read the Following Manual

    Jump

  • I don't know if you mean you don't remember the gist even, but it's more about learning about what's possible with what so you can look up specifics when you need them than remembering the contents wholesale

  • Read the Following Manual

    Jump

  • If it wasn't clear, I meant to do something with each function in some test code and understand it... Not just type it in...

  • AI Can't Help You Write Well

    Jump

  • What you see is the natural conclusion when one understands what llms can do at a core level without attributing any magic to it.

  • AI Can't Help You Write Well

    Jump

  • That's one thing that drives me nuts. When people say they use ai to write emails I imagine that means they're putting out overly long and empty content. When they say they use ai to summarize emails that means the people writing them are doing the same, or that the reader is too lazy and disrespectful to just read something. Completely absurd

  • Read the Following Manual

    Jump

  • Unironically my advice to people asking how to get started programming (at a c++ shop) included going through everything on cppreference.com and using every function in a playground at least once.

  • Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC’s Tech Scene Is Not

    Jump

  • They're worried he will succeed and serve as an example that the people rather than money are in charge, if they could only realize it.

    If they truly believed Democratic socialist policies had no legs, they'd leave him alone and watch him fail as an example.

  • What made you join a losing cause?

    Jump

  • I sincerely believe that none of these are losing. In fact I suspect in the future the current "winning" sides will be viewed as inexplicable barbarism, the same way that making sacrifices for good harvests would be viewed today.

  • 'Ad Blocking is Not Piracy' Decision Overturned By Top German Court

    Jump

  • In the context that running an ad blocker is a responsible action for security, it's ridiculous to even be having this discussion.

  • Can't believe I made this without ChatGPT

    Jump

  • No to the first part, but we should still do the second part.

  • This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again

    Jump

  • Get this person a golden parachute, stat

  • I think the next buzzword teed up is "quantum"

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

    Jump

  • I dunno .32% in a single month seems pretty significant. Obviously it's not like Windows is going to go the way of the dodo but it's looking like Linux may be taking a permanent piece of the pie where it had no staying power before.

  • Why LLMs can't really build software

    Jump

  • The problem is that you don't realize that writing code that is difficult to maintain is in fact not a sign of intelligence, or "power level".

  • Why LLMs can't really build software

    Jump

  • Before LLMs people were often saying this about people smarter than the rest of the group. “Yeah he was too smart and overengineered solutions that no one could understand after he left,”.

    This part.
