Yeah, I’m not even that down on using LLMs to search through and organize text that it was trained on. But in it’s current iteration? It’s fancy stack overflow, but stack overflow runs on like 6 servers. I’ll be setting up some LLM stuff self hosted to play around with it, but I’m not ditching my brain’s ability to write software any time soon.

What are you guys working on where chatgpt can figure it out? Honestly, I haven’t been able to get a scrap of working code beyond a trivial example out of that thing or any other LLM.

No I agree, that’s what I’m trying to say. Open source is the only way to create better software, but the software we have is pretty good. Better software won’t cure what ails us.

It’s a useless discussion open source is as good as to is gonna get technology wise. Their will always be a problem as long as profitable enterprise is what people rely on to make a living and feed their families. Fixing that requires more than open source software.

Honestly, might be a good thing kinda. Adoption in the front end world is out of control.

God forbid the chains of earning a living and feeding your family.

Ban them too.

The real work of software engineering isn’t the coding. That is like saying that being a doctor is all about reading health charts. Planning, designing, testing and maintaining software is the hard part, and it is often much more political than it is a technical challenge. I’m not worried about getting replaced by AI. In fact, LLMs ability to generate high volumes of code only makes the skills to understand it to be more in demand.

Game mode doesn’t have a browser. I would be interested to find out of the steamdeck sales almost directly correlate to this increase. Not that I am complaining, it’s a great way to use a linux desktop experience. I didn’t really read how these numbers were measured.

The other explanation I could think of is that linux desktop is being adopted widely in India. I don’t think that government’s adopting linux desktop accounts for a significant portion of the machines.

Are steamdecks getting counted in this?

Antenna pod is great. I switched to it from google podcasts a couple months ago figuring this would happen.

Generally I was talking about Federal devices. Those move a lot of needles because one federal change can switch a lot of stuff over.

Yeah, I’m surprised your agency let’s you do that with firefox. First time I have heard of that.

It’s USWDS, firefox should still work as long as it is standards compliant.

Are they talking about government devices? I’ve never seen firefox installed on a government device.

My advice: only forward ports 8080 and 443, then make sure that you have fail2ban or crossed properly set up on your reverse proxy. After that, you are pretty much fine as long as you keep on top of updating your containers.

I would be careful about which apps you proxy. Idk why you need to access the admin portal for pi hole worldwide. If you really want to do that, you should set up a vpn.

Yeah, in general, but not necessarily in that circumstance. A lot of time talking to tech people (I’m a softwar engineer) they can can be smug about this while leaving out important context.

Yeah, seriously. What is even the context of this? We have no idea. The cops might have been like “We need a warrant to look at that footage you idiot.”

Asking a historian if they were there smh lol 😆 😂 🤣 🙃

Yeah, this is what I’m talking about.
