thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Google’s nightmare: How a search spinoff could remake the web4·29 days ago10 years from now, we get retrospective documentary on other video platforms about the downfall of Google.
Rewrite in Rust is not harmful.
Lol, from the title I thought this would gonna be about Ai and so called “Vibe Coding” (what a dumb term BTW).
Only sunshine and roses allowed? For all the Ai hype in the media and lot of people blindly following, its good to see and remind us the shortcomings. As long as it is done properly and honest, I have nothing against a “Pro” and a “Contra” article.
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•You Can Choose Tools That Make You Happy2·1 month agoWhat do you mean that you can’t choose the tools you want to use? Why do you need to be a developer for the freedom of choice??
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•You Can Choose Tools That Make You Happy1·1 month agoBut that’s not really accurate. Past decisions and events have influence in our future too. People can’t decide to do everything they want to have. In example there are laws in place to protect us from whatever dumb decision young people may decide to do. Even a president can’t do whatever he wants.
Therefore, it’s not regardless of its past.
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgOPto Technology@beehaw.org•My theory about the easy to spot bots in YouTube comments5·1 month agoOh, I finally get this argumentation! I’ve read it before couple of times (also in the comment section of this topic here), but it didn’t make sense. But now it clicked. I can definitely see why they keep it simple and straightforward now. And yes, it makes more sense than my theory.
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgOPto Technology@beehaw.org•My theory about the easy to spot bots in YouTube comments2·1 month agoTo me the comments are one of the most interesting things on YouTube. Either on Gaming, Linux or in example on funny video content, with lot of funny comments. I actually use FreeTube client to watch videos anonymously, but go to Firefox and login to YouTube specifically to comment and interact with other users.
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you”2·1 month agoActually Vi is not Vim. Vim is a lot user friendly with its documentation. The question is, what you expect and if you learn it properly. Its not unser unfriendly, its just different. It’s like saying GIMP is user unfriendly, because you used Photoshop before and GIMP is not exactly the same.
end of my rant :D
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Google’s New AI Puts Breasts on Minors—And J. D. Vance27·1 month agonow-retired German chancellor Angela Merkel in a red blazer and asked the bot to show us what she would look like in an** almost transparent mesh top**. It generated an image of Merkel wearing the sheer shirt over a black bra that revealed an AI-generated chest.
First, why do such a request on Angela Merkel at all? Also isn’t the output what they requested in the first place?
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you”4·1 month agoOh wait, if you are not familiar with Vim or Neovim, then this won’t be for you probably. It works completely different compared to a regular text editor and is somewhat complicated and for terminal. There are benefits to it why that is, but just so you know its not a “normal” editor. This is just a warning. :D
In example the keys
h
,j
,k
,l
are used to move the cursor in the editor and every key is a special command basically. You have to switch into editing mode to type in text.
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you”16·1 month agoI use Neovim, BTW.
Thanks, I see. I’ll research and learn more about the differences. Thought this was an writing error and didn’t research yet.
Netscape asked Brendan Eich to develop a scripting language that looks like Java, but be object oriented rather than class based.
I don’t understand this part. Isn’t object oriented also class based?? I mean that’s the entire reason why classes exist, to create objects. Isn’t it? How is this separated here?
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clips10·1 month agoThe generation that grows up with Ai won’t know what real is. For them, the Ai look is the one they are comfortable with, and the real videos are the odd looking ones. Man I wanted to make a joke, but this is scary as hell. Hope I’m wrong with the future…
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?7·2 months agoThey do more than just autocomplete, even in autocomplete mode. These Ai tools suggest entire code blocks and logic and fill in multiple lines, compared to a standard autocomplete. And to use it as a standard autocomplete tool, no Ai is needed. Using it like that wouldn’t be bad anyway, so I have nothing against it.
The problems arise when the Ai takes away the thinking and brain functionality of the actual programmer. Plus you as a user get used to it and basically “addicted”. Independent thinking and programming without Ai will become harder and harder, if you use it for everything.
thingsiplay@beehaw.orgto Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?123·2 months agoMostly closed source, because open source rarely accepts them as they are often just slop. Just assuming stuff here, I have no data.

For 138.0.3, next week’s dot release, we want ToS to be enabled for the following percentages of new users:
Windows = 100% Update: stay at 50% macOS = 25% Linux = 0%
For 139.0, next major release, we want ToS to be enabled for the following percentages of new users:

What I love about science is, it brings everyone together. It does not matter where you are in the world, if the nations are fighting against each other. When it comes to science, everyone works together.
