Hard to read, not enough contrast. Aber sonst ein schönes Heftchen.

That explains the many vim enthusiasts that don’t want any other editor. They simply can’t exit the vim instance they once accidentally opened…

I have pretty much the same hardware. It’s an older Lenovo Legion.

Sorry, it’s a bit long so I only skimmed your post. However, I sometimes use LLMs for Linux issues as well.

I think they’re pretty good at explaining concepts and give you some hints which commands to use.

However, in some situations they tend to do things their way and not the way the distribution you’re using intended. E.g. if you have a distro like fedora that comes with podman it will likely have you install docker if you ask something about containers.

Or in other cases it might basically vibe code you a bunch of shell scripts for what you want, even though your distro already comes with the feature (but the LLM didn’t know about it).

So it’s a bit of a two side sword. Explaining a concept usually works great. But otherwise prompt it to use Internet search for the latest and distribution specific docs and to always prefer ideomatic solutions.

If the LLMs answer to your problem looks like a whole lot of work, there’s a good chance these an easier way to do it. If it doesn’t work and the LLM continuously keeps trying different approaches, there’s also a good chance it’s getting desperate and doing more dangerous things, probably not the right ones.

Sorry you got caught in my rant

I’ll wait until modern web developers figure out how to do things without a bazillion dependencies that have new critical vulnerabilities every week and release backwards incompatible versions every month or so.

Also I don’t like shipping several MB of JavaScript to the user just for a fancy looking form.

I remember as a child when I was digging in the sandbox I dug up a hole lot of cat poop and “wet” sand. Since I’m still alive today it probably wasn’t too bad but it doesn’t really feel like a good idea.

Isn’t that a health risk?

Superior assholes

Ethical vegans want to avoid suffering. If figs cause or experience suffering is a philosophical question.

Doesn’t work in German (also a Germanic language like English):

• Mustard: Senf / Mostrich
• Bastard: Bastard
• Wizard: Zauberer
• Coward: Feigling
• Drunkard: Säufer / Trunkenbold

I popped my two discs around L5. So far I’m trying to avoid surgery, pain is mostly under control at the moment but I’ve had extreme ups and downs for the last few months so…

Thank you for the exercise advice, I’ll look them up and compare with what I’m currently doing. I do the McGill big 3 every day plus some other exercises and stretches I learned during physical therapy but I don’t know the names of those.

Yeah, who needs TLS anyways?

Thank you. In the meantime I’ve read his statements regarding the affair. I liked his talks and approach regarding AI. Interacting with a sociopath like Epstein got him burned now but I hope he recovers and learns something.

Never expected to find him in the Epstein files

We could accidentally release some polar bears in Antarctica, guess they could survive there.

Yeah, that’s the placebo effect as far as I know. Side effects are the nocebo effect.

Also hops contains a powerful phytoestrogen iirc
