I would rather let Nazis speak and elect to block them myself than have an entire moderation team block everyone they disagree with.

Reddit is equally a shithole.

Heck. /. used to have a good libertarian minority and today it's nerds defending their trans kids here.

I'm not disagreeing with what you say about Intel's marketing, but I'm guessing you have never worked with Accenture. They send interns and charge hundreds an hour for them. The only thing they deliver is lies to justify more of their own staff.

I've worked with them. Your comment is spot on.

I'd add that their high priced consultants are grossly untrained. They take anyone with a degree in anything and put them on a 12 month internal course where 6 months of that is "soft skills". They don't know even the basics.

Accenture will bleed Intel dry and do nothing of value, just like they always do. Intel have badly lost their way.

I would prefer to replace myself, yes.

I have a 37 year work history of finding ways to replace myself and folks like me. I already offer my clients free Ai consulting on the side to help them replace me. I'm already onto the "next thing" that will replace Ai in the headlines anyway.

I don't own a computer. I am not a programmer. I do everything from my iPhone.

In the past 10 years, I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on human programmers to create 3 web apps. Zero of them ever were finished. ZERO.

I used Grok AI to create 5 web apps. 3 of them were monetized almost immediately and have paying clients. All 5 have passed security checks that look for bugs or hack entry points.

One of the 3 monetized web apps took me all of 30 minutes using Grok, on an airplane, using my iPhone. I was able to download the files and upload them to a web server and the site was live. Literally 30 minutes and that website has created thousands of dollars of passive income.

I use vibe coding DAILY to make spreadsheets better for me and clients (I am not in IT). I use vibe coding DAILY to come up with cool functions for my web apps that people pay me to use.

Or maybe not get manipulated into a war that will cost trillions of dollars, millions of lives, only to leave after 20 years having achieved nothing at all.

You bet Israel is only planning to start this, not hang around for the long, hard, unpredictable clean up afterwards. They want to leave that to the US.

This handheld not Microsoft hardware, though, it's an Asus.

I almost wonder if that's actually a dude who was on the flight or someone taking advantage of an opportunity to get in the news.

Seems so unlikely.

I recall a comment by a programmer saying: "I asked AI to refactor my code. Now it's clean, elegant, and nothing works."

Yet, consider this -- consoles used to get price cuts quickly. The SNES launched for $199, but the next year it was selling for $149, and then $99. Meaning, most people paid much less than launch price. On the other hand, the Switch never got a price cut, so in practice it was more expensive; expect the same for the Switch 2.

Heard it's more like a 1050Ti.

But is there a reason to, other than you want to use a DE that doesn't support Wayland?

The history of AI is all about modeling human intelligence, just like the models we have in natural sciences. If the model happens to be a very good match with reality, we may sometimes mistake one for the other. OTOH, they may be the same thing for all practical purposes.

I'm not sure if I have any deeper intelligence than a fancy language model. When we say that LLMs don't really understand things, then what exactly do we mean by understanding? In my personal definition, the meaning of something is simply the graph of its associated things. I consider something very meaningful if the graph has a lot of nodes and edges, and this also explains why simple things gain more meaning as we age.
