Yeah, that’s the idea, but they are still not there

It’s not enough now. Modern social media require you to create an account to see content.

For links from X/twitter you can use xcancel.com.

Just take any link and replace domain x.com with xcancel.com and you can read content without logging in

Let this sink in down

Why would I want to use it instead of or alongside with Syncthing? What does it do better?

You have 128GB of RAM

Who do you think I am, a multimilionaire?

…and a year when Half life 3 is released ;)

…and despite that people are upvoting, because who cares about facts, let’s just hate a thing that I don’t like

Is there a reason why you gathered so many features in a single update? It seems to be challenging to test all these features at once, why not just publish them step by step in smaller updates? For instance, Mastodon have even split quote posts into two separate versions (first backend, then frontend) to make this process smoother.

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.

Is Multi-Community UI already available? I can see it is merged, but is it released?

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.

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:

• safety - all enterprise data will be stored on Azure servers and won’t ever leave it. It makes preventing data leakage so much easier
• maintenance - software updates can be applied even outside of working hours, Microsoft could launch VMs and update at any time
• ease of upgrade - need better specs? you don’t need to buy better hardware anymore, you just buy better subscription. Hardware won’t become obsolete anymore that quickly

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.

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?

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
