    Exactly. Llms are a mockery of this tech. They have become so powerful because of the amount of compute we have invested in it. Think if Alpha fold got that much gpu time and de's working how amazing it would be. Heck we need to understand the human genome whose only 1-2% is understood. Apply AI to that instead of an AI that spouts out cheap Shakespeare knockoffs and shitty code.

    LLMs fucking suck. But there are things that don't suck. AI chess engines have entirety changed the game, AI protein predictors have made designer drugs and nanobots come within our grasp.

    It's just that tech bros want to grab quick cash from us peasants and that somehow equates to integrating chat gpt into everything. The most moronic of AI has become their poster child. It's like if we asked people what a US president is like in character and everybody showed Trump to them as an example.

    Well you see 100 people won't be able to make soup of trillions. But you know what we a trillion people can do? Run the guillotine for a 100 times

    Llms fucking suck. But that's the worst kind of ai. It's just an autocorrect on steroids. But you know what a good ai is? The one that give an amino acid sequence predicts it's 3d structure. It's mind boggling. We can design personal protein robots with that kind of knowledge.

    I don't get the ai hate sentiment. In fact I want ai to be so good that it steals all our jobs. Every single "worker" on the planet. The only job I don't think they can steal is that of middle management because I don't think we have digitized data on how to suck your own dick. After everybody is jobless, then we would be free. We won't need the rich. They can be made into a fine broth.

    Sarcasm aside, I really believe we should automate all menial jobs, crunch more data and make this world a better place, not steal creative content made by humans and make second rate copies.

  • OOP is not that bad
  • IsoSpandy IsoSpandy 1w ago 100%

    I also love this. I don't why but gc languages feel so incomplete to me. I like to know where the data is that I have. In c/c++ I know if I am passing data or pointer, in rust I know if it's a reference or the data itself. Idk, allows me to think better

    I would disagree. I feel xp was the last good windows. After that it all went to shit.

  • IsoSpandy IsoSpandy 3w ago 100%

    Man i remember. I have 16GB And running windows I would run out of ram so fast. Now on linux, I feel like I am unable to push the usage beyond 8GB in my regular workflow. I also switched to neovim from vscode, Firefox from Chrome and now only when I compile rust does my ram see any usage peaks.

  • [newbie] one-liner to avoid "temporary value dropped while borrowed"?
  • IsoSpandy IsoSpandy 3w ago 100%

    There is a to_owned() thingy I use that for path buf shenanigans. Basically the value you create is a pointer reference short of. To_owned allocates it on memory.

    What's wrong with Wayland? I get the hate for systemd, even though I love it dearly, but I get the hate. But what's wrong with Wayland? It's amazing as far as I have used it. I started using with when Fedora 40 shipped plasma 6.

  • Remember back when Ubuntu put ads in the dash? I do (~2014)
  • IsoSpandy IsoSpandy 1mo ago 100%

    That was the first time I tried Linux with the free and open thing. I didn't know much back then and when I saw the ads, I was like... Ooohhh this is ad supported crap. Nope... Not at all

    Fucking distro kept me away from my spirit penguin for 2 years before I realized it was ubuntu's fault.

    Hello. I recently created a notification daemon which uses eww widgets for its front-end display. So if you are already using eww, give it a go. I know this is a very niche use case, but if a single person finds it useful, I will be glad. [end-rs](https://github.com/Dr-42/end-rs)

    I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.

    I created this project some years back and the project just reached v1.1.0. I know most people have jellyfin servers and all set up, but if you have just a local folder of all your series saved up, you can use this to remember what you were watching. All feedback is welcome.

    I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.
