What if it's either that, or suicide? I imagine that people who make that choice don't have a lot of choice. Due to monetary, physical, or mental issues that they cannot make another choice.

That was clear from GPT-3, day 1.
I read a Reddit post about a woman who used GPT-3 to effectively replace her husband, who had passed on not too long before that. She used it as a way to grief, I suppose? She ended up noticing that she was getting too attach to it, and had to leave him behind a second time...
Andrej Karpathy (One of the founders of OpenAI, left OpenAI, worked for Tesla back in 2015-2017, worked for OpenAI a bit more, and is now working on his startup "Eureka Labs - we are building a new kind of school that is AI native") make a tweet defining the term:
There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.
People ignore the "It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects", and try to use this style of coding to create "production-grade" code... Lets just say it's not going well.

In no particular order (maybe)
- Ghost in the Shell (all seasons, even if they had different names)
- Dragonball Z (you either wanted to be Goku or Vegeta, simple as is)
- Claymore (short, and holy fuck did it go hard at times)
- Fullmetal Alchemist (even if it went off-trial, I still loved it!)
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (a more-true to the manga release - also dope!)
- Samurai Champloo (they had Dutch-speaking characters! Also made me learn a bunch of Dutch history and how we used to trade with the Japanese since 1609 because of an Englishman called William Adams (Miura Anjin)!)
- Alfred J. Kwak (Kwak the Duck - あひるのクワック- my childhood favorite)

- Dommel/Wowser/Bigger and Better: Dommel & Ron (another childhood classic)
- Moomins (a Finnish classic!)
You can see here my theme with autodetect of Python (I work a lot in Python). The orange bit is the error code returned by the previous command. Git is supported as well, and looks pretty much like
powerline-gitstatus, as you'll read about below.First, lets make Bash a little better:
bash
# throw this in your `~/.bashrc`, and then `source ~/.bashrc` for it to take effect, or just restart your terminal. # == shopts == # https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Shopt-Builtin.html shopt -s autocd # cd into folder without cd, so 'dotfiles' will cd into the folder shopt -s cdspell # attempt spelling correcting on folders shopt -s direxpand # expand a partial dir name shopt -s checkjobs # stop shell from exit when there's jobs running shopt -s dirspell # attempt spelling correcting on folders shopt -s expand_aliases # aliases are expanded shopt -s histappend # append to the history file, don't overwrite it shopt -s histreedit # lets your re-edit old executed command shopt -s histverify # I'm confused. shopt -s hostcomplete # performs completion when a word contains an '@' shopt -s cmdhist # save multiple-line command in single history entry shopt -u lithist # multi-lines are saved with embedded newlines rather than semicolons; explictly unset shopt -s checkwinsize # update LINES and COLUMNS to fit outputAutocd is a big one here, cdspell and direxpand as well. Ensures I don't need Zsh for the same experience. With Zsh I'd just get annoyed by small stuff like having to wrap things in quotes (I think
pip install some_lib[some_extra]works in Bash, but not in Zsh And Ohmyzsh just felt it kept slowing things down, so I actually dislike Zsh ^(please don't kill me) >_>Anyway, I based this on
powerline-status+powerline-gitstatus(if you want to use that instead (no, my config doesn't work), justsudo apt install powerline-status powerline-gitstatus- DO NOT USE THEPYPIVERSION (it's too outdated, and a pain to install)) because I had issues with finding the right combination of my configuration and which libraries to install for bash - there are too damn many: powerline-bash, powerline-status, powerline-rs, powerline-go, etc, etc. And they all do things just that little bit different.Anyway, here is my
~/.config/starship.toml(archive1, archive2). It's a little long, and can probably be shortered, but that might break something again, and I'm not willing to risk anything right now.https://gist.github.com/NostraDavid/675a0706716b98816fd2809560ffe42c
Dialectical Materialism
How about "a tug-of-war between owners and workers for jobs, resources, and technology"
Three examples:
Factory Work and Labour Unions
Early 20th-century factory jobs involved long hours, low pay, and unsafe working conditions. When workers tried to unionize, factory owners often resisted, viewing unionized labour as a threat to profits. This created a direct conflict: owners wanting to keep costs low vs. workers demanding better wages and safer workplaces.
Automation in Warehouses
Warehouses (e.g., Amazon fulfilment centres) are increasingly adopting robotic systems to speed up sorting and packing. Employees might feel pressure to meet higher performance metrics set by a partly automated workflow, while also fearing that further automation will reduce human jobs. Here, the “tug-of-war” is between technological efficiency (and profit) vs. workers’ job security and well-being.
Tech Industry Outsourcing
Companies sometimes outsource tech-related jobs to countries with cheaper labour costs. This lowers expenses for the company but can lead to local layoffs and economic hardship for employees in higher-wage regions. The conflict revolves around the benefit of increased profit margins for the company vs. the material needs of domestic workers who lose their livelihoods.
The USA actually spends several billions, if not trillions on Medicare (meant for the old) and Medicaid (meant for the poor, and single mothers, and young children) combined.
In 2023, the federal government spent about $848.2 billion on Medicare, accounting for 14% of total federal spending.
source - and that's just Medicare.
I agree with you that it's weird that corporations get a bailout, instead of selling the company to competitors, but no need to act like the USA doesn't spend a TON of money on its citizens, keeping their head above water :)
Also make sure it has a decent SSD
That means any SATA SSD that can pull 500MB/s. No need to try to stick an m.2 7000GB/s SSD into such a weak laptop. Not trying to poop on his hardware - just staying realistic for when you look for an SSD (presuming he does not already have one).
After 10 years, I still remember switching to an SSD from a classic HDD. Probably the biggest hardware upgrade I've ever done.
The technical requirements for 11 were reasonable
My 8700k (from 2018) disagrees.
I just dug a little deeper. Looks like the site is 95% George Whittaker since April 2023, which is a month after GPT-4 was released.
The site literally turned into AI slop since then. Good job, Slashdot. /s
What's wrong with BSD?
I dont know... This Linux thing is pretty great, IMO.
I get their point, but it feels like it's more about tech being abused by large corporations, trying to squeeze another cent out of you.

PewDiePie has switched to Linux

I'm not watching all that stuff, because I don't care about Pewdiepie enough.
Aight, that's fair.
Typical American response.
Alright, calm down, no need to insult me like that!
I'm just getting sick of the keyboard warriors that bitch and moan on the internet about the situation, yet have exactly zero plans to do literally anything about it. They could write to their representatives, they could work towards Dems winning local elections, they could become politically active by demonstrating, etc.
But all I see are online complaints; no plans. Storming the Capitol should be option Z, but maybe Americans can start with Plan A, eh?
Let me tell you that it has been socially unacceptable to make apologies for anyone who flew the Nazi flag ever since 1945.
Yes, I understand you're trying to take a nuanced approach to the Nazis who had been drafted since being kids, etc, but just don't.
History already happened, and the last of the original Nazis are slowly dieing out (youngest Nazis tended to be 16 years old, so 1945-16 = born in 1929, so they'd be about 96 years old). They don't need a random stranger to try to defend them.
Nazism is a failed ideology that abused large parts of the world. It doesn't need defending.
watch it rot in nationalist silos
"ITER includes China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States. Members share costs and experimental results."
That's quite the wide "nationalist silos", no?
Look, I agree that more open = more better, but I think you made it sound a bit as if it's just France (implied) that's gaining from this, where it's really an international effort.
I'm so happy it's not Rick Astley's song. I 100% expected you to fool us.
Anyone who rails against “DEI” is by definition a white supremacist.
This is such a backwards take. "DEI" could always only end in misery, because it pulls people ahead of the line in a time when the working people are already having a hard time. "Is that person hired because of the colour of their skin or the sex of their body, or have they been hired because they're actually good?". It could only make a large part of the population feeling left behind because of their sex or race. What do you think that does to the social foundation of a nation?
Alas, I have no idea what a good alternative would be, but I always recognized "DEI" as a bad idea. I don't have to be a chef to be able to tell that this dish tastes like ass, even if I can't cook for shit myself.
That does not make me (or anyone else who thinks DEI is ass) a white supremacist "by definition".
At the end of the day, it's the ultrarich hoarding all the money that's the actual issue - an economy that's not fair to the citizens of the nation. The top 3 wealthiest persons in the USA have the same amount of money as the bottom 50%.
