I don’t know, I don’t see a lot of damage or unpleasantness stemming from someone getting into my /tmp, but I don’t want any llm being fed contents of my /home. I am less afraid of an attack, as I am irked by corpos putting fingers into my shit

Just like shovels existed before the gold rush and will exist after humanity’s death. But we have a saying for a reason

Oh believe me, it wasn’t just luck. They have special labs full of people who’s whole job is to find another unexplored niches that can buy their cards. And they only make specific single purpose cards only when the market is mature enough to justify the spending, which is also smart.

Just encrypt your home then.

Nvidia are very smart in that regard, ethics aside. Very early on they decided that selling cards to gamers will not give them the infinite growth everyone so desperately desire, so they started looking for what does, and they were consistent at it ever since. Every tech bubble of the recent history is powered by Nvidia cards. How much they contributed to the hype (and damage) is not entirely clear, but that’s not zero for sure

Capitalism’s biggest lie is that people have freedom to chose what to buy. They have to buy what the ruling class sells them. When every billionaire is obsessed with chatbots, every app has a chatbot attached, and if you don’t want a chatbot, sucks to be you then, you have to pay for it anyway.

Different set of cookies, different set of preferences, bookmarks, history, etc. If you need to completely separate two instances, for example one for work and one for everything else, you can only do it with profiles

Morrowind. Playing it, modding it, breaking it, trying to fix mods, writing new mods, all of it. Morrowind was so fun, for some time it convinced me that Bethesda might be a competent company

I use them all the time, they’re great. I learned about it from another random Lemmy comment

You can use containers all you want, just don’t create another profile and you’re golden.

Those are called headphones

Either somehow every GNOME user is a saint and everyone else is just an asshole, or GNOME is laughably bad and every new release is also bad. It’s either of those two.

Yeah, there is way less hate and mockery towards KDE. Now let’s think why that might be

It’s your own fault you use GNOME

You can actually get some test validity oversight out of AI review

You also will get some bullshit out of it. If you’re in a situation when you can’t trust your developers because they’re changing companies every 18 months, and you can’t even supervise your untrustworthy developers, then you sure as shit can’t trust whatever LLM will generate you. At least your flock of developers will bullshit you predictably to save time and energy, with LLM you have zero ideas where lies will come from, and those will be inventive lies.

independence of review is a very important aspect of “harnessing the power of the team.”

Yep, that’s basically my rationale

the tests are written after the code is merged - there will be gaps, and the second dev will be lazy in writing those tests

I don’t really see how this follows. Why do the second one necessary have to be lazy, and what stops the first one from being lazy as well.
The reason I like it to be different people is so there are two sets of eyes looking at the same problem without the need for doing a job twice. If you miss something while implementing, it’s easier for you to miss it during test writing. It’s very hard to switch to testing the concept and not the specific implementation, but if you weren’t the one implementing it, you’re not “married” to the code and it’s easier for you to spot the gaps.

Replacing the missing bits with AI is better than not having them at all.

Nah, bullshit tests that pretend to be tests but are essentially “if true == true then pass” is significantly worse than no test at all.

Why? The developer is exactly the person I want writing the tests.

It’s better if it’s a different developer, so they don’t know the nuances of your implementation and test functionality only, avoids some mistakes. You’re correct on all the other points.

By being a monopoly and having a unique chokehold on the internet. Even if we don’t get into their ties with various governments that they inevitably have to have, the fact that they alone can cripple the internet is concerning
