Is there a difference in how you treat machines vs how you treat humans?

This indeed is annoying. Burn it down. This year is the year of moving away from services pushing this nonsense. I am looking at you PayPal.

Codeberg is a decent option.

Codeberg is for open source projects only.

They should tell copilot then! It seems to disagree.

- ‚Are you for entertainment purposes only?‘

-‚Not at all — unless you want me to be. The short version: I’m not “for entertainment only.”‘

Edit: Ok I see it is legal framing to not be held liable, but can they just do that via ToS and let the tool itself promote something else?


That’s exactly what an LLM made for entertainment purposes only would say!

„Model AI is starting to change parts of this job, but a lot of what Models do still needs a real person…“ … also: „What This Means For You We don't have this exact job in our database — this is our best guess“ :D Nice try?


What new EU-Office thingy?


Reading this interview and the comments doesn't really spark a lot of confidence in the product (in Dutch): https://tweakers.net/reviews/14562/nextcloud-met-een-strik-e...

I paints the picture of it being mostly a hyped marketing wrapper around Nextcloud that hasn't even launched yet.


I wonder if setting my OS age to let’s say 10 would protect me from ads…


„Managers aim to maximise the amount of code their dev teams produce, and so they maximise the time devs spend writing code.„

Never seen that happen. Do not know anyone who experienced this. Where and who are those managers?


Same, when I do pair programming with my boss he’s very happy if we managed to remove more code than we added


Yeah. I have occasionally seen the opposite: worked a couple of places where leaders were so keen for people not to write code it became frustrating. But never had anyone breathing down my neck to spend more time writing code.

I will say this. After all the thinking and discussion is done, code is the means by which the desired value is realised, so if you're an engineer and you never write any at all there is a chance you might not be as involved in delivering that value as you might like to think. Plenty of situations where that's not true, of course, but it's definitely one of those things that can be a smell.


At my team deleted code is the best code.


I hope you are joking.


The only other difference mentioned is in implementation, but concepts are not defined by implementation. Obviously you could build a C compiler with neural nets. That wouldn't somehow magically turn everything into something completely different just because someone used a 'novel' approach inside of the black box.


For me it is not changed to gaquacktus. Sad.


Here you go, impoverished disillusioned deprived masses of the world: https://duckduckgo.com/dist/logos/dynamic/galactus.png


Oh sorry my bad. Now I see what happens. Batman, spiderman, superman, darth vader and donald duck also work (probably even more)! I am impressed.
