Don’t just self host for yourself. Help out friends and family that can’t themselves. Infrastructure is for people not just for the fun of building it. :)

I fully agree with your take. Thank you :)

Agreed.

I think most people are too trusting and have a political agenda to hate AI for all the obvious reasons. But it solves a few very central problems for me reasonably well and people don’t get to decide what I spend my money on. AI is neither the miracle dream future not the word ending scam people make it out to be. Using a tool still takes skill and angrily screaming people down (not you) won’t change that AI is here to stay. I don’t like calling it AI, for all the reasons. But deep learning and LLMs are a useful technology in many regards. No doubt about it.

Again I do not suggest giving AI control. Don’t let it edit your code. Just give it what it needs to know to discuss and help construct code to review and insert by hand. You have full control and enjoy the benefits LLMs bring. Everything else is just asking for trouble.

That’s what I’m saying. Ai does not help with speed. Takes potentially even longer. It helps with concept and design quality and completeness. For coding its just fancy auto complete. Think how LLMs can be used to improve the process instead of replacing yourself. Apply your skill with a lever instead.

I’m running my own local LLMs on solar power from my roof.

I’m not saying ai code is better than mine. But ai review sees quite a lot normal humans would overlook. Pair programming works with ai just as good. Generally agentic coding is shit. And I have nothing to prove nor get mad about. Somehow you can’t seem to bring up a sound argument but rage. X)

I’m running a successful business with plenty of Devs trained and working for me doing all kinds of specialized real-time engineering. You shout on Lemmy.

Sounds good. Pretty sure you are correct on most points. Agentic coding is bullshit for sure. I’m mostly talking partner coding, code review and some data interpretation like screenshots of UI changes in a CI for example.

Well i can’t disagree with that take. Skill still plays a role. You still can’t suggest people keep writinga and reviewing solely by hand. That ship has sailed.

I’ve been training my own employees for years. And I’m suggesting you get a degree before playing keyboard warrior on the internet. ;)

it makes it easy for bad coders to mask as passable but good coders can still spot that in review.

German engineer with 20 years of experience. Its a big jump. Believe me. I’m not suggesting most people use this tool the right way nor that the industry is not without flaws but its like eating meat. I have no issue with it as long as it is ethically sourced.

I always ask myself how many of these anti ai warriors are actually proficient professional coders. And I’m talking like engineer level, not hobby level.

LLMs are a tool. Give a package power tool to a fool and the result is stupid at best, bloody at the worst. Let’s call that vibe tooling and ask if there is a difference to vibe coding.

Imho there is not. LLMs are a tool that can lift up the quality of coding work to a common level if used by proficient people. It helps with searching through and understanding vast outputs as long as you know what to expect. Its a miracle in intuition.

Its not a mind reading tool that will just code your fantasy software for you. Hate it all you like, AI is here to stay, this is like hating cars in the age of horses. Cars are not magic, neither is “AI”.

You are probably talking about scraping a website. There are usually tools for this already that make that easy. Last time I had to do something like that I used scrapy.

These look like a kids feet. Which would explain some of the behavior. Also why those don’t look that worn yet.

You only need the reboot if a package update masks the retirement.

The system is not lying to you, it holds some critical updates back to be installed separately and manually.

The output shows you which packages have been held back. Just do apt-get install linux-image-amd64 for example, reboot and apt autoremove to remove the old kernel.

I had decided not to comment on this again as crowds are usually somewhat ignorant.

The error in my assumption is that all parents would handle this with care. My kids would usually come to me or my wife with things like this.

But I would be wrong in this assumption it seems. Especially with outliers around kids with psychological problems that are usually caused or acerbated by their parents.

If I would somehow overlook something I would love to be able to rely on the school to inform me. I can however see, that that might be in the range of decisions a capable educator should be able to decide themselves. I certainly chose a good school for my kids and know they would handle that well.

I must admit i imagined my kids in the hands of the American educational system which terrified me just a little more.

So these down votes are somewhat my fault but then again I have loving parents and care about my children and the down votes don’t bother me more than maybe thinking on the issue one more time.

So thank you for your plentiful comments. :)

Interesting perspective, thank you. Also a well balanced take on the matter. Doubly thank you ;)

I don’t own my kids but I certainly named them and for some years I’m the only one allowed to change that.

The school is usually required to inform parents about significant information regarding their schooling and mental health as well. In my opinion my kid changing their name and or gender is something I would want to know about.

Significant changes like this need to be discussed in depth, which is not to say they shouldn’t do it, just that I would like to discuss that and up to a certain age this health decision is up to his parents either way.

Cool, please still do. He needs to get back into the wild at some point and you really want him rewilded properly so he doesn’t approach less friendly humans with dogs or depends on humans for food and starves to death in winter. :) please
