saves 15 million euros in license costs
This attitude is plainly wrong. If you use Linux because it is free as “free of charge” then you are missing a point. You should use it because it is open.
I would even say that they should contribute the same amount of money to organisations that actually develop a software that are going to use. Because they will certainly need support and security patches and this will never be free
Is Multi-Community UI already available? I can see it is merged, but is it released?
And what popular modern e-commerce website offer an information about marketing deals via RSS?
and DO NOT DEFINITELY pay for journalist’s work, because he certainly do not need to pay taxes, rent and will happily write articles for you free of charge and paywall is just to make you mad
Some people might think you are joking, but it’s actually true
It’s the IKEA effect. You tend to like something more if you built it yourself.
… and you understand it more when you build something by yourself, so it’s easier for you to fix it when it’s broken.
Cloud. Windows is going to be sold as remotely accessible virtual machine hosted on Azure. The change will first take place in government offices, then in companies, and finally (after people get used to it at work) among consumers.
Why would gov and enterprise like it? Because of:
Consumers will also like it. No need to pay hundreds of dollars for new GPU when you just want to play newly released game. Also, all your data accessible from anywhere in the world.
And why Microsoft would like it? Kinda obvious, it would be even harder for users to quit a subscription, they will be tied to ecosystem even more
Yes, sounds ridiculous, but how will this ratio change if we take into account the cost of hiring a programmer and the costs of implementation of a niche feature that this experiment provides at a cost of LLM inference?
Also: we can cache and reuse enpoint implementation.
Stack Exchange. I know, controversial, as people complain about rules being there too strict and community not being too welcoming nowadays, but still a real goldmine of knowledge. All of that with no ads, no spam, no dark patterns.
Even if you go to Europe (where I live), you will still listen to American music, read news about America everywhere, eat American crap food, use American Internet services, watch American TV shows. It is not easy to leave America :D
One of the reason I hated JS ecosystem is because how quickly it has been changing. You mastered one way of creating website called X and 3 years later cool kids are already using completely different stack of tools. Constant re-learning of how to do the same thing you’ve been always doing.
Is it bad that we finally settle on one framework? Can we finally recognise web as mature platform and focus on creating useful stuff instead of reinventing a wheel?
I believe the same thing was said about the Internet in the ’90s: “It speeds up communication, but how would anyone earn money from it?”
Although I don’t think we’re anywhere close to AGI or anything like that, current AI development fundamentally changes a few things in our lives: how we find and process information (information retrieval works very well), how we interact with computers (using natural language instead of clicking through interfaces), and how productive we are.
Video generation models are going to bring entertainment to a whole new level. A single person can now create an entire movie without even buying a camera. Entire game development studios can build worlds larger than ever before. Text generation makes disinformation and propaganda insanely cheap and effective. Surveillance will be much easier now, as owning a communication platform not only allows you to search for messages by phrase but also by meaning. Ads will be far more personalized, as AI chat platforms now know us much better than Google — the current leader in this field.
So:
there isn’t anything real there?
I really don’t think so.
So how dangerous is that really? I assume one day we’ll finally see investors saying, “Nah, that’s a bubble. I’m not gonna see any returns from those companies - I’m selling.” Then stock prices will fall, and some investors will lose money by selling for less than they bought. After that, AI unicorns will start to lose funding and close their businesses, laying off people.
But will I - a person who does not work in the AI industry and has not invested in AI companies - be affected by this?
I wish there was something like this for tags. So: display only posts that contain tag X, but sort them with some algorithm. Ideally: steered by number of likes and date of adding. May be even the same that is used by Lemmy.
You’ve just asked a question on “Fuck AI” community. I wonder what an answer could be…
Usefulness really comes down to which model is being used. I’ve noticed most developers choose GPT for Copilot because that’s what they are familiar with (or they often don’t have a choice due to company policy). I recommend to try Claude Sonnet. How it works is true magic.
But I agree, repetitive tasks is what it should be used for. Planning is still programmer’s job
Please add some context for someone not up to date with all that jargon. There is a trend here and on hacker news to just post a model name that says basically nothing and I often just don’t even know why I should care. Or maybe I shouldn’t?
What is the use case of stable coins? Fast international money transfer? Or are there other I’m not aware of
If something works, don’t change it. And GitHub, not being ideal, works pretty well.
I hope this “AI” knows what language is used in songs. Sometimes I like to listen to songs in certain language (usually the one I’m actually learning). The potential use case would be to create a playlist with songs of certain language and genre I like.
As for now, it turns out it’s incredibly hard to do. For example even if you find, say, popular French song and use option to “find similar” then algorithm usually finds either songs with similar genre or even french songs but sang in English.
