If you are at all serious about security you don't consider Windows.

Depending on how serious you are you also don't consider MacOS.

And then you kinda have a couple of things to chose from but ultimately you need to build your own security depending on your attack/threat model

How is that "fair"?

Wanna know what the guy is up to now?

Sure enough, he is a founder of an "AI That Knows Why" company.

I don't think you are. My first reaction was: "cool, now maintain it"

Yeah, but we already sold the device, so it's someone else's problem. Now if they were paying us a subscription fee..

I understand what you're saying, but strictly speaking is it fair to say they aren't profitable? Didn't they along with other participants of LLM-race invest heavily into the infrastructure and the said infra wasn't yet delivered.

My understanding is that it's unreasonable to claim a hotel isn't profitable when they're still on the building stage.

I do understand that we don't have enough energy to turn it on when all of them are delivered, but that's a separate issue.

e: gah. Answered to the wrong post. Sorry.

So you're saying the phrase "vibe-coded" should've been used somewhere in the title? :-)

Government funding is another way. In some countries people pay some sort of "media" tax. That can be redistributed. A new one can be added. If LLMs are becoming a standard way to interact and process the data and using them is a social necessity then it is absolutely the job of the state to provide means for it.

I wonder when, if ever, we will hit a productivity plateau with LLM-assisted development. Right now, it feels like we're at a crossroads, and if we don't build the correct culture around this, things can go very wrong.

In combination with Google stance on what people call "sideloading", this is a serious concern for privacy.

I can keep my privacy just as well without Signal if I can't talk to anyone.

No one is in a position to dictate individual people what their goals are. That's another example of entitlement.

As an individual author they are entitled to write whatever they want in their blogpost. I as a consumer of their writing am not entitled to anything

Exactly. Especially now in the era of LLMs where you can feed the article to a chatbot and ask it to spoon feed you at the pace you can digest at.

Why should the author care to make it digestible to the crowd who is clueless on the matter? Their goal is to capture attention and start discussion within the community.

To me it doesn't seem reasonable at all. It's just entitled at best.

Yeah, this is the extension of the above. Main reason tabbed windows ditched the title bar in favor of having tabs integrated into it.

Unfortunately people who design UI or produce specs are not power users so the end products have been losing utility at an incredible pace.

My personal favorite is an input field which clears its content once it loses focus. So when inputting an address on mobile you can't switch back and forth to copy different parts of it.

Not sure what Googlebook is, but in general: I want to be able to move my pointer to the top right corner and click to close the window.

And before you make some claim like "use keyboard", the UI includes these window elements for a reason. Top bar makes them less friendly to use: They're tiny and with top bar it's an aiming game instead of a quick way to do something with a mouse or a touchpad.

As an i3/sway user I don't greatly care about this because I already have things the way I like, but I understand the frustration of the OP.

You are responding to a "money != happiness" comment with "people kiss asses to get more money because they're unhappy". Just saying.

Build caching is nice until you have to disable it because it broke something somewhere. At which point it becomes very hard to turn it back on.

In other words, one needs to have absolute trust in such tools to be able to rely on them.
