I mean its not the same at all. There is a very satisfying and gratifying experience from writing software yourself, AI hardly comes close. When writing the code and having to understand, I feel real connections being made in my brain and a deeper understanding of the language, domain area, and logical concepts. AI is simply not the same level of mental engagement and exertion.

But clearly for work/business requirements using AI is a no brainer for efficiency and speed(which are key concerns for a business). This is under the assumption that a professional is able to review and guide the agentic tooling for a proper output. In order to truly be a professional in terms of software engineering, you need to write a significant amount of programs manually for some time. I don't think that people with 0 prior experience with programming will be effective if handed AI. I use AI for programs for work, and have written manual programs in the past. I want to go back to writing things manually(as to not atrophy important brain regions) so will probably do some personal projects in this manner.

But I don't see a point in writing a book with AI, writing an email with AI, composing a message with AI. Because using AI is leveraging a predictive machine to expand on intent, and the intent in communicating is best done yourself. In my opinion sending AI content as posts, messages, or correspondence is poor application of AI at best, downright disrespectful at worst.

You need cooling, power, and at the data center I used to work at they literally ran out of power and couldn't get any more from the city. They actually built a new building in the parking lot so they had cause to request more power

Yes, this is exactly what I was talking about. The datacenter I used to work at ran off the grid and was essentially quiet.

I think this is because the demand is so extreme for datacenters now that companies are building them in a manner that disrupts the environment around them. The newer ones are using on-site generators that are insanely loud and require multiples more power than datacenters have historically needed. For a rack with traditional servers with just RAM/CPU/Drives, 5kW is sufficient in most cases.

When you have racks that are full of 4U GPU systems that pull 3-6kW each, the power requirements per rack shoot up to 60kW+(with whole rack setups blowing past 100kW). So an AI datacenter requires over 20x the power compared to what they needed in the past. This either strains the power grid near the DC or they need to create on-site power to fulfill demand, which has noise and other concerns.

I work near a datacenter and you can't hear significant noise from the outside, maybe a slight humming sound but quieter than traffic. This is a DC that has been around for over a decade and uses power from the grid since most of the loads are non-GPU based.

Rolling release is actually the closer to bleeding edge version, I have been running fine with it. You can just set VyOS to auto update in the config if you want.

Rolling release has zero issues for me and is completely free.

If you want LTS(or you can just pin a rolling release around the same build) you can pay for a support contract. Similar to proxmox. The no-subscription product works just fine.

the shill is strong with this post

Man I just stick with the defaults on vim. I want to be able to install vim on any server I'm SSH'd into and have it all work the same way.

I do use Neovim as an IDE but thats a bit different, as lazynvim does 90% of what I need and the rest is just tiny changes that improves the experience for me. I also use AI to change my lua files simply because its faster and I'd rather focus on programming.

Would prefer very dim or red lighting. Also preserves your night vision

I'm more than happy with VyOS. Throw that in proxmox and you have an open source JunOS with zero license headache.

I do use Mikrotik for 2.5g switching though, zero complaints.

Poor grannies trying to read the price of some book she wants to buy she can't tell if it says $150 or $15.0

Who needs to spend time raising their kid outsource that shit to a an AI SaaS lmfao what is wrong with people

How are you a heavy vim user if you wonder if vim makes sense with ai? There are so many things to do outside of writing code that vim is used for.

Also neovim + claude code + open terminal pane in tmux is the goated combo anyway. Especially more lately you need to understand the code you are writing if you want to do anything important in software, and the best way to do that is neovim :)

Boooooooo

Keep learning yung ones

I'm just saying for me personally its even further moved into the box of "why would this bother me as a user of their service"

I agree and might eventually move on from prox(focusing on higher layers in infra atm) but the author claimed its GUI-only which is not true.

I get the advantage of fully declarative systems such as Nix, but everything you do in proxmox via GUI can be done via CLI: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/#_command_line_interface

CLI is first class in proxmox, I use the qm command for managing vms all the time. The networking is also just a file in `/etc/network/interfaces` that I modify with vim as needed.

I see this as valid use, they are paying for the tokens to get this reasoning aren't they?

Obviously they didn't ask for permission when scraping all of libgen, reddit, all blog sites for FREE. When China pays for its use and does it I'm supposed to see it as some sort of problem?

Furthermore Chinese models getting better means we Americans might have the chance to use top tier AI without strict KYC built around it. Go Alibaba I say

If you are able to leverage claude code, neovim, and tmux effectively cursor is no longer needed in the mix, but to each his own

My jaw dropped when I read this guy wrote ffmpeg AND QEMU!!? Thats insane levels of talent and capability. I remember looking through the source for QEMU and it appeared monstrous in its scale. Dude is a legend, no wonder Carmack is complimenting him.

Yes, you are the only one.

Didn't bother reading more after seeing the vibeslopped landing page that took < 2 hours to make.

Also "700+ Discord Members" is not any type of endorsement of a technology or service.

Its a 15GB docker image and is quite bloated in my experience. Probably moving to gitea soon myself.

Had to zoom to 150% to make it bearable

At this point why not just host your own gitea or something.

Glad to have an original IBM Unsaver so I don't have to rely on sussy reproductions

Thanks for this comment, I was about to bookmark the repo for later you saved me the time.

Only a few sentences in and its like reading linkedin... Obviously written using ai with little to no review.

In regards to the title/subject, if you completely stop thinking about code in terms of actual programming comprehension you are setting yourself up for failure. Unless you are a senior with 5+YOE and have an insane list of useful projects completed without using AI, you need to keep learning features of the language and writing code by hand or your skills with atrophy and you will become less effective over time.

horrible design on the website please just give me a block of text to read

Why is this on the front page? Probably the least interesting thing I've read all week
