- Comment on Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" 4 days ago:
I agree that for some coding things it’s handy and saves time. It wrote me a WordPress plugin for an abandoned radio streaming plugin so I could get usable stats. It would have taken me a long time to write the SQL and php code by hand, for something I’ll likely never do again.
It didn’t get it entirely right first time though.

It sometimes works for me. But the old computer truth of garbage in garbage out still applies. It’s got the world’s garbage to sift through.

Use that mesh from bird cages, he should end up as a few mega pixels when viewed front on.

- Comment on “You heard wrong” - users brutually reject Microsoft's "Copilot for work" in Edge and Windows 11 1 month ago:
One step ahead - installed Syncthing on an always-on Windows box located at my office, pointed it at some needed Google Drive folders, and synced to Debian. The Windows box has other syncing tasks anyway so it’s not costing anything in power. The Debian laptop is becoming my main workhorse.
rclone is too much of a PITA to configure.
insync is way too expensive, especially with multiple Google Drive accounts.
Gnome’s sync thinggie does weird stuff with filenames in LibreOffice etc, is basically unusable.I need Google Drive due to my existing business setups.
