  • I’ve been using linux as a daily driver for more than twenty years. At the same time I had to use Windows for work. Windows has always created more headaches and wasted more of my time than linux. The people who fail on linux are those who expect/demand it to work like windows and those who are not willing to invest the same amount of time they used to learn their way around windows on linux.

    “Windows just works” has always been a lie. It’s a fragile heap of crap that constantly breaks or misbehaves. People spend a metric shitton of time with workarounds for failing updates, registry hacks … or externalize that cost to others. Windows “just works” if your kids, company IT, or someone else keeps it working.

    If you invest the time to learn a distributions/linux ways, and make a reasonable pick for distribution, linux is much more stable and low maintenance than windows.

    Various notations appear in older sources were used, such as Ne(22) in 1934,[1]: 226  Ne22 for neon-22 (1935)[2] or Pb210 for lead-210 (1933)[3]: 7

    You kids and your newfangled notations *shakes fist at heaven*

    I had some really old physics books when I went to school … and that has been a while.

    I’d welcome actual AI. What is peddled everyday as “AI” is just marketing bullshit. There’s no intelligence in it. Language shapes perception and we should take those words back and use them according to their original and inherent meaning. LLMs are not AI. Stable diffusion is not AI. Neural networks trained for a singular task are not AI.









  • I’ll quote myself from some time ago:

    The entire article is based on the flawed premise, that “AI” would improve the performance of developers. From my daily observation the only people increasing their throughput with “AI” are inexperienced and/or bad developers. So, create terrible code faster with “AI”. Suggestions by copilot are >95% garbage (even for trivial stuff) just slowing me down in writing proper code (obviously I disabled it precisely for that reason). And I spend more time on PRs to filter out the “AI” garbage inserted by juniors and idiots. “AI” is killing the productivity of the best developers even if they don’t use it themselves, decreases code quality leading to more bugs (more time wasted) and reducing maintainability (more time wasted). At this point I assume ignorance and incompetence of everybody talking about benefits of “AI” for software development. Oh, you have 15 years of experience in the field and “AI” has improved your workflow? You sucked at what you’ve been doing for 15 years and “AI” increases the damage you are doing which later has to be fixed by people who are more competent.
