The software will likely work, but keep in mind that you’ll have to add VM startup time when you want to use the software. I have occasionally seen software behave strangely in a VM as well, so best to just try it.

Can you share the software you went to use? Maybe there’s a good Linux alternative or someone knows how to get it working in wine.

Is this the one using the open source kernel module?

He’s just not fully materialized yet.

I just don’t watch many shows and a lot of the stuff coming out I don’t find that great anyway so I’d rather do something else with my time than pay more for worse service.

That’s OK. I’ve already removed Netflix

Yup! I don’t have a PS5 but I’d have already bought it on Steam if it was out. Now since I have to wait anyway, I’ll probably just wait for it to go on sale since the hype is gone.

Because Bethesda isn’t being cut out of anything. You still need to buy the original game to use mods. And most mods are made using the official modding tools that Bethesda released (Creation Kit).

Don’t be biased except for these biases.

we already have LLMs performing at human college level for most tasks.

This is such a dubious claim that there is also very little evidence of. There are examples of LLMs performing some tasks, but that’s hardly displaying any consistent “college level” activity. Passing a bar exam does not mean that an LLM can be a lawyer. All it means is that it can pass a bar exam. Not to mention that just the phrase “college level” is extremely ambiguous and makes it impossible to debate. It also ignores all the times LLMs perform in completely wrong ways, or just produce incoherent garbage (though Pepperoni Hug Spot was pretty amazing!).

I would absolutely hire one junior dev over a fleet of junior level LLMs of any size! I can talk to and train a junior. I can understand their motivation. I can watch them grow and learn the needs of the product, company, stakeholders, customers, etc. Even one LLM coder is a constant code review against an agent that does things seemingly at random and who you cannot talk to or understand. 128 of them would be a nightmare!

LLMs for code are a neat tool and I do use them on occasion. They can sort of help summarize documentation or maybe help generate examples, but they also fuck up a lot. They can be a good teaching tool for a junior, so long as they don’t just follow blindly. But to replace even a junior coder? Absolutely not, and there’s no evidence they’ll ever get there. Note that I’m not saying it’s not possible, just that there is no evidence right now.

You mention lack of evidence that “there will always be a need for coders”, but there’s just as much lack of evidence that AGI of any form (LLM or otherwise) is at all possible. Heck, we’ve been less than 10 years away from AGI since the 1970s…

All these discussions around AI are getting ridiculous. They always point to some mythical future AI that may never exists. It also implies that we should be making decisions affecting real people’s lives today based on this mythical future AI. Remember that past performance is no indication of future gains. Just because there has been tremendous acceleration in the last couple years does not mean it will continue at that pace into the future.

Lol, after both steal every image on the internet.

No wonder the images look similar.

I’m curious what you use it for. I use Ivy and it had good fuzzy matching.

Taking your data to flavortown!

I don’t use Flatpak much, but I rarely see issues. Sometimes I see minor things like themes not quite being right, but its never been bad enough for me to spend the time to fix it.

I suppose another downside is the need to have the base runtime packages, so it could take more disk space if each app uses a different one. In practice apps will share runtimes though.

Yes it seems that sometimes you can’t stop an enemy attack. I wonder if that’s by design.

The game certainly isn’t as good as Chrono Trigger, but I’m enjoying it as a nice tribute.

Nice to see someone else who’s favourite game is Chrono Trigger!

Ever play Sea of Stars?

Beatings will continue until morale improves
