Often common stock implies the existence of preferred stock, i.e. the investors got paid out in low sale and everyone else had no money available. The increasingly dominant private equity corp biz probably got a great deal. The class divide widens as usual

I assessed Matrix a few years ago and came to the same conclusion. I went with IRC3 which is a new standard that overcomes most of IRC's issues. I think IRC is still quite good, and actually has working clients for everything, web etc

Yes Cline supports pretty much every LLM API, local model, etc. But if you're serious about having an AI assistant that actually works, it's unlikely you'll be able to run it locally rn. Your best cheap/free-ish option is the Google models. The best overall is still Anthropic

You are not mistaken

I did read the post, and if you think syntax and implementation weren't a huge part of coding, then I'm not sure you're a programmer either. Design is quick, writing it all out & integrating libs & figuring out bugs is slow

Some of those crystal doms are real good, hot wax, rope, the whole bit. All my mommy issues were resolved in 6 sessions

There's a lot of people who say that using AI makes you dumber, and that's reasonably true in one sense, but ultimately it's reducing the kinds of work you need to do. This is a trend in humanity -- photos replaced photorealistic painters - farm automation replaced manual labor. At every step, knowledge was in fact lost to society. But is that a problem really, that we lose obsoleted modes of work, in favor of automated systems that solve it forever? New skills emerge, people who know how to design factories, photography artists

I think people are afraid of AI removing jobs from the workforce, but what it's really doing is making the workforce more efficient. The total amount of product can go up, that's fine. Jobs like coding now look more like architectural design jobs rather than typing jobs. Creative work and original ideas will shine. New jobs will be created. Nothing new is going on

Seems to be 100% Lemmy content

Now THIS was design

Idk I kinda like modern minimal / flexible, assuming it works. It's often easier to customize something in an app than with a bunch of dials. Stuff like hue has shown it possible to make physical buttons to control smart devices, if you want them

Meanwhile he glosses over the fact that Samsung has all the foldables now, and that's a pretty extreme industrial design in the modern era

Mmmm to clarify, Blender Foundation doesn't own or run Godot afaik, they are just trying to tightly integrate the pipelines together and make it easy. These games are the way to refine and showcase the process, like Blender's open movies

Great read, thanks RSS Bot! This is a fair and nuanced take, and seems to suggest that senior devs aren't sped up, especially in big open source projects where they have years of domain expertise. But for small and new repos, less experienced devs, and well designed plans - it's still probably a net win

Thanks this was a fun read. Kinda want a set now
