  Why tabacco?

  Agreed. All the listed problems seem moot when viewing the project as a personal one.

  I did some bad formatting during my initial setup of caddy. Having the formater is really handy.

  Depends on the game and your hardware. Most games runs just fine under proton. Valve have done a great job there.

  Hardware has never been an issue for me but I read here somewhere that they had 10-15% less performance on Linux. ymmw.

  Give a couple of years and they will figure out to repurpose a brain into a super computer. That is when this movie really becomes reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK creating ‘murder prediction’ tool to identify people most likely to kill⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This remindes of this movie en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_Report_(film)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's the best strategy to follow with a new boss who wants me dumbed down?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Talk to the boss’s and explain the situation? I can’t imagine that to be a healthy work environment, I can’t imagine the company wanting their employees to not learn.

  I requested a PTR record once from my ISP. They first didn’t understand what it was, then said they didn’t provide it. I didn’t have a static IP but still.

  Isn’t DeepSeek open source? Is there a need to reverse engineer it?

  At that point you may as well have used the search engine in the first place.

  I was going to respond to this but I think you did so yourself:

  I have asked searchy type questions and got some interesting links back which I probably wouldn’t have found on a normal web search with the terms I was using

  I think they work as supplements and not replacements. As any tool, they have their use and (for me) can enhance my searching. But I would not replace it with only LLM. (Altough I have never had any great luck with ChatGPT and links, they never work - as in ChatGPT give me an anchor element without any link. It’s better at providing me search terms and concepts to look up for what I need.)

  Encrypted and RAID 0, all disked stored in different locations, two copies of all disks.

  I’m sorry, I mixed up my arms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I find ChatGPT to sometimes be excellent at giving me a direction, if not outright solving the problem, when I paste errors I’m to lazy to look search. I say sometimes because othertimes it is just dead wrong.

  All code I ask ChatGPT to write is usually along the lines for “I have these values that I need to verify, write code that verifies that nothing is empty and saves an error message for each that is” and then I work with the code it gives me from there. I never take it at face value.

  Have you actually found that to be the case in anything complex though?

  I think that using LLMs to create complex code is the wrong use of the tool. They are better at providing structure to work from rather than writing the code itself (unless it is something simple as above) in my opinion.

  If a company cannot invest even a day to go through their hiring process and AI proof it, then they have a shitty hiring process. And with a shitty hiring process, you get shitty devs.

  I agree with you on that.

  ChatGPT is perfect for learning Delphi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Software engineering is more accessible than ever

  This is key here. Having it more accessible, we see more people who do not want to learn but still trying to code. But we also see more people are want to learn and create solutions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that LLMs just made it easier for people who want to know but not learn to know. Reading all those posts all over the internet required you to understand what you pasted together if you wanted it to work (not always but the barr was higher). With ChatGPT, you can just throw errors at it until you have the code you want.

  While the requirements never changed, the tools sure did and they made it a lot easier to not understand.

  How about running the OS from a USB stick? Put all images you want on it and mount NAS drives at boot.
