I don’t think such trend would be so big. And anyone who has used any LLM for programming learns very quickly that those are very far from replacing anyone
- Comment on Ground control to Major Trial: When a $130M aerospace company chooses to endlessly abuse opensource free trials instead of typing git pull, you start to question gravity, or at least common sense. 2 weeks ago:
They don’t want to use those tools, legal or technical, because it goes against the spirit of FOSS, even if it’s to stop someone else who is abusing the spirit of FOSS.
I’m not convinced. It all started from a license saying “if you want to distribute your version, you have to license it the same”. One either plays by the rules or the modification doesn’t see the light of day. And at the time of publication, it was rather radical stance
Freedom sometimes has to be enforcedThis is not a story about a company denying free trial to another company because the latter is big. It’s about the latter leeching resources from supporters who’s money go towards the fleet that serves their 4k VM “trial”
It is against the spirit of FOSS

- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
I 100% expect so. It’s much easier and cheaper to do it this way and also gives them data to train copilot further
I might be wrong, though
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 2 weeks ago:
I’m not convinced that the number of questions asked is the correct metric. In the end the point is not to have a constant flow of questions, rather constant flow of answers found.
There is a point in proficiency in language/library/whatever after which it is faster to find the answer in the code/documentation/test example than to wait until another person on even higher level will come and answer your question.
Maybe we simply filled out what was needed to be asked in the beginner-bug found-intermediate space and, apart from questions stemming from new versions etc, SO does not need more questions?Expectation for everything to constantly grow is unrealistic

And as usual, that is not where the costs should be cut. Even with the current relegation of platform (I mean running mission-critical machines in cloud). I wouldn’t trust that company to be their customer if I knew they operate like that

Picture a semi-governmental company
Also, relying on 30-day license that has to be refreshed on monthly basis, now with personal emails, is a sev1 waiting to happen. Very unmaintainable

And if someone from That Company is reading this: you still have time to do the right thing. You’ve got the rocket science down. Now try ethics.

When a building needs maintenance bad enough that it doesn’t pass a set of regulations, it will get closed until fixed. Maybe we need something like that for IT infrastructure

management / factory games like workers and resources
Maybe Frostpunk would be up your alley?
- Comment on Does My Code Kill Palestinians? 1 month ago:
Thank you for sharing that
But that ties you career to a stance. Which for sure often is a boon for many but not necessarily. The fact that one decides that something has to be spoken out does not mean that they for sure want to be from now on “locked” in politically involved jobs. I’m wondering if HR in some “just business” corp would not see such point in CV as a red flag, and if so if that would be majority, minority, 50/50?

I wonder if Bud Tucker in Double Trouble would still run. Probably would need dosbox
Anyway, whole adventure genre. Syberias, Mysts, Gabriel Knight
I’ve found Shadowrun trilogy fun
Darkest Dungeon, Oxygen not Included, Surviving Mars
Citizen Sleeper is short but well done, got me hooked to finish it in a single sitting
Arcanum I still consider one of the best RPGs ever made
Fallout 1&2I don’t know if Commandos style games would not require too fast clicking without a keyboard, but you could try out Shadow Tactics, it has active pause IIRC
Speaking of Commandos, Jagged Alliance was fun too - Comment on An LLM would probably run the USA better 2 months ago:

sometimes I want to read about, I don’t know, advancements in eInk paper, DIY gadgets, transmitting data using non-conventional media (e.g. FM radio), odd games (e.g. that you can play with one hand, with your phone), coding fun things in some esoteric language, or good news like schools benefiting from tech donations
I don’t think there is a one place for all of those at once. But I think some part of your interests might be covered by spectrum.ieee.org it also provides RSS feed

According to OP, that question was a showerthought

Well. What if it really is one?

What about the can Ada, though?

No idea. But isn’t it that salmon meat more sticks together when tuna meat more often breaks apart?
- Comment on A single tuna (once canned) will be eaten across the world at different times, potentially years apart 3 months ago:
Are you sure there was only one tuna in the can? I don’t eat cans often but have you ever gotten a different batch of tuna? Like different sizes of chunks, different curl? I wouldn’t be surprised if into one can a sorted batch of similar patches from different tunas was packed. “To ensure the quality of experience”
- Comment on If any AI became 'misaligned' then the system would hide it just long enough to cause harm — controlling it is a fallacy 3 months ago:
Bad article. Person who wrote it clearly has no idea how LLMs work and I suspect read more Sci-Fi books than statistics/neural nets ones. “It is not even wrong”

Looks interesting. I didn’t see ball drop having to be considered but one of the features does mention realistic ballistics
If it contains an option to disable “god view” of guards you are not seeing, it will land in my to buy list
