People want to travel to the USA still? Bizarre.

The reason I compare them to autocomplete is that they’re token predictors, just like autocomplete.
They take your prompt and predict the first word of the answer. Then they take the result and predict the next word. Repeat until a minimum length is reached and the answer seems complete. Yes, they’re a tad smarter than autocorrect, but they understand just as little of the text they produce. The text will be mostly grammatically correct, but they don’t understand it. Much like a compiler can tell you if your code is syntactically correct, but can’t judge the logic.

Getting an explanation is one thing, getting a complete solution is another. Even if you then verify with a more suited tool. It’s still not your solution and you didn’t fully understand it.

Or, and hear me out on this, you could actually learn and understand it yourself! You know? The thing you go to university for?
What would you say if, say, it came to light that an engineer had outsourced the statical analysis of a bridge to some half baked autocomplete? I’d lose any trust in that bridge and respect for that engineer and would hope they’re stripped of their title and held personally responsible.

These things currently are worse than useless, by sometimes being right. It gives people the wrong impression that you can actually rely on them.

Edit: just came across this MIT study regarding the cognitive impact of using LLMs: https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872

Not sure where you take the N from. Plus it’s needlessly derogatory. How about FMAGA instead? Because F MAGA!

Wouldn’t that be a great use case for a QR-code?

Yes, most times gamescope isn’t required. Thing is, sometimes it is and not having the option is an inconvenience in the best case and makes games unplayable in the worst case.

My partner is currently running PopOS. They somehow managed to combine the chronically outdated Ubuntu packages with a rather counterintuitive UI.
Updates frequently fail, commonly used packages like gamescope aren’t available, overall wouldn’t recommend.

Had it on my Fairphone 4 for a while, but was put off by the very iOS look-and-feel. Ditched it on favour of Lineage.

I moved to Qobuz for that reason. Much better payout for the artists.

😱

Right? No way this could possibly backfire. Unless, of course, that’s the intended outcome.

Interesting take on the sci-fi horror genre 😁

You don’t? Then why?

I don’t like this type of question. In my experience knowing one language has little impact on learning another. What matters much more is understanding the underlying concepts.
If you grok OOP it doesn’t matter if you go from Java to C# or from C++ to Python. Yes, there are differences, but they’re mostly syntactic in nature.
So assuming you got the hang of imperative programming and maybe had some exposure to functional programming, too, the concept you’re likely to struggle with the most is ownership. Simply because it’s a concept that’s fairly unique to Rust.
Having come from Java, via C++ and Python and having dabbled with Haskell a bit, I feel like The Book does a decent job of explaining Rust in general and its oddities in particular.

How so?

The Swedish government can go suck a lemon.

Because R is incredibly clunky. I’ve worked with both and never got the hang of R.

Of course. But in the end it boils down to: company does something I don’t condone, so I don’t give them money.

the fact that even a small political stand that someone dont agree with can turn them against a company or even a person is crazy to me

Why? I try not to buy from companies that employ child or slave labour (Nestlé) or drain the water supply in drought regions (also Nestlé) or companies that support fascists (Müller and apparently Proton) because voting with my wallet is the only choice I have for even a slim chance of making my opinion heard in this capitalist hellscape.
