these types of laws usually come from the most technically illiterate people ever

yes, but that doesn’t help if the software refuses to run on modern java

got a pc with a good deal. First thing I did was electrically cut off all unnecessary leds

I was 14 years old, and I got the 128meg stick for free. Beggars can’t be choosers haha

i started using linux on a single core pentium 4 with 384M of ram

I’m partial to this one

i let the wife do it. She enjoys it, I don’t

where did i say it’s less secure? I said it will be coded around. as in forked and the changes patched out/worked around. The point is that it’s pointless to even try. Because it won’t work for those who do choose to use it, due to all the ones bypassing it

if it’s linux, it has to be open source. If it’s open source, people will code around it immediately. How about not trying to shoehorn this useless crap in the first place?

that’s one of the reasons I specifically picked a bright lime green for my car

and, ime, it takes a full second to open any dropdown menu

if only they made the thumbnails just a little bit bigger. My monitor still fits 9 of them, tsk tsk

I know one person who does this. It’s simple: apple discontinued the ipod touch. He had no other choice than to get an iphone without a sim

an ai is not a script. You can know what a script does. neural networks don’t work that way. You train them, and hope you picked the right dataset for it to hopefully learn what you want it to learn. You can’t test it. You can know that it works sometimes but you also know that it will also not work sometimes and there’sjacksjit you can do about it. A couple of gigabytes of floating point numbers is not decipherable to anyone.

enjoying it is a different issue. You probably enjoy it because it’s more difficult, which is perfectly valid reasoning

so? someone invented current llms too. Nothing like them existed before either. If they vibe coded with them they’d still be producing slop.

Coding an llm is very very easy. What’s not easy is having all the data, hardware and cash to train it.

i like the analogy

given that expert systems are pretty much just a big ball of if-then statements, then he might be considered to have written the app. Just with way more extra steps.

exactly, you can only really verify the code if you were capable of writing it in the first place.

And it’s an old well known fact that reading code is much harder than writing it.

the “target” is to get useful software out. The ai is the tool. In this example, the ai is the gun. It is the tool used to achieve the goal.

Anyone can make an improvised hammer. Stick a rock or a piece of metal on a stick. But that doesn’t make them carpenters, even though they made their own tools.
