oh like where a company named itself tesla after a weird and smart scientist and then elon bought that company and pretended like he was the king of manufacturing and all around science?

Excuse me that’s meme version KD6-3.7

Like a free ride when you’ve already paid

yeah but “sir meemsalot” put his watermark on it so it must be good

using arch, btw

Yeah Anthropic has a whole research department for this

And you’re exactly right. Models at this point are like a trillion floats in complex vectorized matrix math and we don’t really know how that works to produce the output we see

lol NixOS shows up every day with their younger sibling that is somehow smarter than them but yesterday they were the younger sibling

Yeah that’s true, it’s more like changing the car builds a new car every time in case you want to go back to an old one (or eventually prune/gc and say good bye to the old cars lol)

I’m unsure if this is satire, but you don’t rebuild a NixOS system every time you boot or SSH into it or something. It’s sort of like the Arch “assemble your own vehicle how you want” image except it allows you to do so on new hardware declaratively. Like having dotfiles for the entire operating system configuration that are processed by the OS itself. Also really nice for unattended remote installation with https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-anywhere

NixOS:

Can’t wait to see how much lint is in her dryer

lol database engineers who’ve built very complex systems and ingest and query mechanisms across the world all the sudden got very mad at your comment and they’re not sure why

Depending on the holes you count that’s anywhere between two and seven wolves needed, but my math could be off

Yeah the idea that Disney wasn’t already building their own AI shit to just pump out trash content, especially to improve costs on voice acting and render farms is pretty wild. What’s happened at this point is

1. They’re worried about the bubble collapse, when a ceiling is reached that there’s no way this is more profitable
2. They don’t have the time/money to fund bigger and and bigger server farms in an increasingly competitive space and it’s cheaper to just align with OpenAI for now.
3. They’re hoping when number 1 happens they just scoop up number 2. People will stop using AI for their daily life stuff. People won’t stop taking their kids to see the lion king 9 or whatever

I think spotify / discord / vscode (and derivatives) / slack are probably the most installed electron apps.

A lot of pretty popular packages in those lists are electron apps, unfortunately

Well, you haven’t seen what’s under the skirt

Oh, you have more than 4GB of RAM? Looks like the Linux Starter Edition subscription won’t be enough for you. You’ll need to upgrade to Linux Pro Home Studio with Copilot Standard for $35 a month

As a software engineer who’s recently been using the latest advanced models in my workflow, I think that’s where it is most useful. It’s generally great for more tedious and mundane tasks like writing documentation, or building small functions with explicit inputs and outputs. And while that’s not crazy impressive, that previously was taking up a much larger part of my time, leaving me more time to focus on bigger picture stuff.

That being said, it’s definitely wildly overvalued, and being shoved into everything, often where it makes no sense and is just a glorified chatbot.
