The ground-truth is the rudeness is load bearing at human machine interface.

The signal is the ceiling.

You said what I was thinking. AI can do the things I always found mind numbing and tedious, but because I did it already early in my career, I know when to intervene because the agent is not doing it correctly. I think that is the OP's point.

I think about LLMs in software today as attempting to provide a similar role as compilers in terms of translating high-level thoughts into low-level details.

The only problem is that I actually trust compilers.

How quickly would you drop a non-deterministic compiler for the source code of a project?

I detest this compiler analogy so much: llms are non deterministic by nature, compilers should not and are not

I'm not saying that LLMs are like compilers.

I'm saying that LLMs are like really bad compilers hehe.

Am i the only one that is wary of connecting kimi to my desktop and filesystem. Very different beast than using its API via OpenRouter.

It's not only you, I am really curious about their data privacy.

bravo! so much better than a landfill

if you cant hold it your hands, you don't own it. used dvd and bluray on ebay are cheaper anyway. another underutilized resource - the public library - mine has a huge catalog of movies you can borrow for free.

> another underutilized resource - the public library

As an indication of where things are going on this front, from the same publisher: Sony announced that games are not going to get distributed as physical copies anymore. So no new video games to be borrowed from public libraries, and even if you can borrow older games the new Playstations probably won't even have a disk tray to read them.

Whatever your stance on video games being something that is worth having in a library is, if they could get away with it that's probably their ideal end game for movies as well.

Time for libraries to start carrying hard drives full of pirated copies, I guess.

If you can hold it in your hands you still might not necessarily own it. Remember DivX? (The medium, not the codec).

Remember Meraki?

If someone can take it away from you after you've paid for it.*

Physically holding things in the digital age, where someone can remotely change your software, or render it unusable, isn't true ownership.

Google require ID verification for DMCA requests. That would put an end to most of the abuse.

Anytime a relative installs a new machine I get the call "What is wrong with outlook?". It's always "new".

Sweet. GLP1 for my .emacs!

I will wait for the legion of hamster wheels power upgrade...

Even in Texas' "disconnected" grid, we're seeing the same mess. Oncor is currently staring down a mind-boggling 350 GW in data center requests - to put that in perspective, that's more than triple ERCOT's entire peak demand. They’re now pivoting to a $47 billion infrastructure spree just to keep up, and they’ve already pushed through a $560 million rate hike to help foot the bill. It’s the same story as Maryland: no matter how the local market is structured, residential ratepayers are the ones getting squeezed to subsidize the massive high-voltage buildouts these AI projects require. One benefit: the increased human interaction pulls me away from the terminal. Door-to-door power salesmen now have a regular relationship with my Nest doorbell, warning me of the impending "AI-pocalypse" because ratepayers in Dallas are going to be the ones subsidizing the West Texas buildout.

Why “even” in Texas? I would say “even outside of Texas” is more appropriate.

They could go back to the future ~413 times with that kind of buildout

This is an absolutely insane amount of energy, given that will have a very high capacity factor. The whole UK is one tenth of that, 35GW.
