local models might

That was yesterday's "LLMs might". Time passes. Nothing stays the same. "Local models might" X Y or Z today has no influence on the limitations of tomorrow's local models except to remove them. Yesterday's LLMs are the exact same thing, except your computer is connected to their local model for you to use.

Disc drives used to be measured in megabytes—now in terabytes. Technically useful tend to get more optimized with time, not less.

Killing has existed since the dawn of life. Heck, single celled organisms 'kill'. It makes sense for that to be a globally-recognized sentiment. You make a grand claim when you think that in 50 years that 'all forms of AI is bad' will become an equally globally-recognized sentiment as 'all forms of unjustified killing is bad'.

I doubt it. Why do you believe it's possible?

a single tool was the enabler of enjoyment? It seems enjoyment is a fleeting thing these days if that's the case

I can't think of a functional reason for a no-AI policy

There are functional reasons for a no-AI policy. It helps the Godot Foundation function to establish a no-AI policy. Do you argue it doesn't help them function?

Do you understand the difference between functional and non-functional?

Free the Icons 22 days ago

Custom, free-shaped icons are too costly. Much more economical to have a square. It will never happen, unfortunately.

Knoppix 22 days ago

I was maybe 9 years old when I first used Linux, and it was with Knoppix and KDE. Loved early plasma. Arch is my thing these days, but KDE is still my DE of choice. Glad to see KHTML from Konquerer living in Blink and WebKit these days, too!

Laptops with Chromebooks. Mobile with Android phones. Game consoles in Steam decks and now Steam Machines. The things linux appears on are growing. The things proprietary OSes appear on are shrinking. Losers and victors in a war are often defined by who loses and who gains the most.

Deno Desktop 1 month ago

Why would I use Tauri now?

The same set of reasons anyone made desktop apps before Deno desktop launched. Deno desktop is not the reason desktop apps are made. If someone really wanted a desktop app made before, deno desktop isn't going to suddenly make new ones start appearing. It will just be a new choice among the many.

In the half century that has passed since the publishing of that book, plenty of work has been done to say that ancient human thinking wasn't primitive, especially the ones that made the pyramids 4,600 years ago, such as the Red Sea Scrolls: How Ancient Papyri Reveal the Secrets of the Pyramids by Mark Lehner and Pierre Tallet (2022) which alludes to the minds of competent and intelligent humans

Typst 0.15.0 1 month ago

Markdown has the same class of issue and resolves it the same way you would with Typst: The escape character \. You instead write saved \$50 million using C\#.

What we're really after is simple: the conversation with the agent becomes the only conversation you need to have.

This benefits those who make the machines you have conversations with and those that invest in them.

Vite isn't a product. It's a tool. It will be succeeded if necessary. It happened to Webpack after Microsoft hired the creator, and the JS community pivoted hard. Bundlers and compilers in the JS world happen once a decade it appears.
