This is how capitalism functions. You don’t need to enslave people or threaten them with violence. It’s easier and more pleasant for the ruling class to just let them live on the brink. If you’re desperate, you’re easy to manipulate.

Sounds like X and Tesla should be banned in France

Misleading title. This fascist corps wants to reinstate the draft.

What distinguishes the IDF from ISIS and the Taliban?

He is a big fucking loser.

I got sick of paying for backblaze. Duplicati is a good free solution. You just need cloud storage to use it, which you might already be paying for in other services.

Seems like it would be hot playing in those pants and boots

You say “no”

Torn?

You use software though? You don’t need to even look at the code, lol. I’m downloading open source projects and modifying their functionality for my personal use with Claude and I don’t even know how they work. Don’t even open the code in an editor, I don’t need to know what it looks like.

You don’t have to take my word for it. You can get a subscription to Claude for $20 and install the CLI tool. Ask it to start building something basic. Give it something small first and then expand what your asking for in the next request.

Claude can also help explain how to set it up if your unfamiliar with things like the terminal or git.

I think the difference is that the LLMs can read all the context of your project and figure out what will work. If you want to add a feature, it will do so in a way that won’t break other things or offer you options if you can’t make that change without breaking something.

Also, LLMs are super fast compared to humans so even when it’s slightly wrong, it can be fixed with another prompt. People act like the LLM doing something wrong makes using LLMs pointless, but they are ignoring the fact that the LLM can always take another prompt and keep working until it gets it right, which is usually immediately once the issue is recognized.

You can even automate the feedback loop by describing the test scenarios and then having it run those tests, see the failures, and fix the code all by itself.

I get LLMs might not work as well for law at this point, but they do work for coding.

So much cope. Everyone is in denial. It strikes deep, I know.

Ignoring the truth won’t help you deal with it though.

It’s very funny to see the level of denial people are in.

Everyone wants a living wage. FOSS shouldn’t require people who work 9-5 to do 6-10 after their day job.

Also, I think 150k is probably a fair and comfortable wage now after adjusting for inflation. I’ll bet our grandparents that raised 6 kids on a factory workers salary while mom stayed home made the equivalent of $150k back in the day when adjusting for inflation and COL.

That said… this all feels very abrupt on their end and I can’t help but feel they messed up in financial planning for the project if they suddenly need to raise these funds this way and on short notice. Doesn’t feel like a lack of community support. It feels like poor management.

Why doesn’t Europe do psyops on Americans like Russia? Christ, as we’ve seen America is very easily manipulated.
