    I unfortunately have to deal with it daily at work… With a premium laptop that cost thousands, and it is extremely less performant than much smaller and older machines with linux (I use linux at work as well).

    I am not saying anything controversial. It is literally the reason why windows professionally is used for accountants, but it is practically never used for tasks that require performances, reliability, stability and long term maintainability.

    Most casual users live with these issues, many move to mac, few move to linux. Victims of corporate IT like me must justify the budget to avoid the standard laptop and get the overpriced piece of extremely powerful hardware to have a daily experience slightly better than a raspberry pi running on respbian. Because outlook…

    There no real control of what and how you installed stuff. This create long term issues. This is why you perform registry clean up. But it is not enough, because of orphaned and conflicting dlls, inconsistent installation paths, conflicting versions. You probably don’t see just because you are used to the issues and you think that’s how things work.

    If you install a better os, everything is accurately and centrally managed, making maintenance much more easy. Problem is with closed sourced software and drivers, because they break the normal processes of installation and maintenance, creating similar issues as in windows (not as bad because the os is better engineered)…

    The problem is maintaining the os. Installing the drivers on windows is usually fine. Maintaining them is frustrating, because of how updates has to be done, and the dirty uninstall process, and the issues.

    On many Linux distro it doesn’t work perfectly, but maintenance is so trivial that people become used to it. And going back to a high maintenance OS is annoying. Like going back from a modern EV to ford model T. Some people like the experience of going back in time to the mid 90s with Windows, other prefer the simplicity of maintaining a Linux OS



  • Sorry, but that article is completely non sense.

    LLMs are pretty clear in what they do. It’s true that they are often superficial, but most of this superficiality is due to creator trying to escape liabilities. ChatGTP is often evasive or superficial on purpose, because openai is trying to find a balance between usefulness and risk of being sued.

    LLMs do not try to be smart. They don’t do trick. They are built to give the best possible answer they are capable of doing (given how they are trained and built). Sometimes these answers are good, sometimes not, sometimes mixed.

    Why writing a whole article trying to demonstrate frauds in a tool. Is a washing machine a fraud because it tries to convince me clothes are clean? I am satisfied by the results, given it is a machine, my aunt complains that “washing by hand” is better.

    Same situation here, some people are happy, some would like more…
