    Think AI thinks? Think again. Expert thoughts on thinking.

  • Generally people who argue AI doesn't think focus on its lack of creative capabilities, and overly samey writing structure.

    If this is satire, it falls apart because it fails to satirize the way by which people actually critique AI.

    What a fitting name for a fucking moron

  • Web browsers can work from day one. I used my web browser for all my mobile banking for months when a bug rendered the app unusable.

    Tap payments might not work until banks make apps for it (or more likely until android compatibility layers are provided) but you'd have to be pretty petulant to suggest that this feature not having first class support from day one makes a device unusable.

    Google is going the way of apple-like full control over their mobile devices while even lower end modern day phones are easily capable of surpassing the computational needs of 99 percent of daily users. The use case for mobile linux devices is growing all the while cost per unit sold decreases.

  • GNOME Desktop top bar - waste of space?

    Jump

  • I don't use gnome and after switching to hyperland prefer not to have my compositor draw anything other than windows, so I can understand where you're coming from, but for gnome i'd want to keep it, namely cause its used for:

    • System controls including power/logout are there as well as switching audio devices through an extension.
    • clock
    • system indicators (what else are you going to do about applications that unmap their window on close, like discord?)

  • No the vast majority of people really don't need this. The feature can be nice to have. If you don't have it you'll go around tapping your credit card like normal. That's how I see most people around me make payments.

    You could make the argument that not having these bells and whistles can make your platform seem less attractive and to an extent that might be true but I think you're missing the point.

    No one said Linux phones should launch and be immediately competitive with android/apple flagship products day one.

    People who care enough about FOSS and privacy have ample reason to accept the trade off of not having some of these niche features.

  • Never used this feature. I think this sort of QOL feature is something I'd be happy to wait on. The ecosystem doesn't need this to launch at least imo.

  • Has bad branding ever turned you off from software, FOSS or not?

  • I love hyprland and even anime but having waifus prebuilt into the compositor installation is too much.

  • Anything I can do through my banking app I could just as email do through the browser

  • How many things to you really use your phone for anyway.

    Personally all I need is the basic things like a camera app, maps, authenticator, web browser, pdf reader, note taker, clock, etc.

    It's really not that much

  • Yea I mean it's possible, but the sooner you bite the bullet and use a more modern language, the sooner you'll get back to the same level of maturity and start having productivity dividends being paid out thanks to things like being able to get your compiler to prevent use after free bugs and the like.

    Not sure how much sudo specifically needs this, maybe new commits are rare. As long as it stays out of LTS for the time being I'm all for it though.

    Also not quite sure what you mean by "footprint"

    Are you talking about the binary size or the fact that C has a tiny and straightforward language spec?

  • Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash

    Jump

  • Most of my work in DevOps isn't in front of my text editor writing scripts. It's spent hopping between dashboards, drafting emails, doing RCA, teaching dev team members how to use pipelines, and getting requirements from them for designing new pipelines. Then inevitably debating with them about design considerations when they ask for a set of procedures that won't pan out.

    Until your AI is a fully fledged team member who everyone can feel comfortable engaging with as if they were a real human, you cannot possibly begin to automate this.

  • LGBTQ+ Americans consider move to Canada to escape Trump: ‘I’m afraid of living here’

    what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god?

    Jump

  • I don't have any book recommendations but I can't help but feel like the entire approach you're trying to take might be too over generalized and you're better off trying to approach each problematic social encounter one by one.

    If for example you have family who's down on their luck and trying to move into your living space despite you not wanting that, you need to consider what their other options are for living alone and if that would result in a quality of life you would be able to accept yourself, and weigh that against your own expectations for how the living situation would pan out in your mind.

    Stuff like that family member's previous behaviour, ability to show gratitude and value you equivalently, the degree to which they are responsible for their current living circumstances, etc, are all important to consider. This is nothing generalized advice about "boundaries" could possibly help with imo.

    If on the other hand you're a woman and have issues with men hitting on you at work, you have a completely different set of considerations you must make, with virtually no overlap with the previous example.

    Jump

  • Speaking of boundaries it looks like you need to be able to follow some yourself. This is not your opportunity to proselytize your beliefs.

  • Do you meditate?

    Jump

  • Sorry but sitting down and observing your thoughts, or trying to concentrate your thoughts on something non stimulating is the next "religion"?

    What exactly are you on about?

  • It legitimately IS exponentiation. Romanian lady was wrong.

  • John Green's Religion

    Jump

  • You completely ignored everything I said. You have no faith, you believe in nothing, other than adhering to labels that are favourable to your social circumstances and avoiding labels that aren't.

  • I don't want to be an ass and tell this guy what he believes for him, but if someone claims only that god 'exists', without elaborating on any particular details about what sort of entity they are, it leads me to believe that they want to avoid the label atheist/agnostic for optics, but otherwise have an agnostic viewpoint (especially if they are willing to go so far as to say it doesn't matter if the god is 'real').

    The claim about God being similar to morality or other things that become "real" through shared perception to me does not have any philosophical rigour. God is a different category of thing from morality or whatever other cultural phenomenon you want to compare it to.

    You can 'believe' in morality or cultural phenomenon without having to think anything is real. The only thing that makes cultural phenomena real IS the fact that it is perceived to exist in our heads.

    God is totally different. If you don't believe your God created the universe and/or life, the God you believe in is not a God by any sensible definition of the word.

    If you find it equally possible that life in the universe could have just as easily arisen though purely mechanistic means as described by the laws of physics, then you do not believe in a God (unless you want to argue that they designed the laws of physics to eventually create life naturally).

    Whether it's life itself being designed, or the laws of physics being designed to facilitate life, I think its fair to say you must believe the universe was intentionally crafted in some way to facilitate life in order for a god to exist.

    This event, of the universe and/or life being conceived and instantiated refers to an actual event in astronomical history. It refers to a category of thing that's more real than the cultural phenomenon this guy compares it to.
