    Would there be a scenario where OpenAI deliberately helped (in some way), or let it happen, so that they could use it for marketing purposes?

    I already asked on another message board too, but: Can someone tell me how this technically can happen? I assume HuggingFace performs benchmark testing using containerized versions…

    Yes, this is the way. Also, everything is still connected with last.fm too, so once a while I'll also take a look at my neighbours there.

    Biggest thing I miss about all of this was the gatekeeping and curation really. There's so much garbage on Spotify, it's hard to find good music, and the recommendations I get alwa…

    DC++ I loved that place, being able to browse people's hard drives was ingenious.

    Correct, nowadays it's accidental and boring inconsistencies, because they're all trying to be more minimal than the other app.

    It was really wild, out of the box you would get: sound themes, color themes, icon themes, startup sounds, wallpaper themes, different loading animations, am I forgetting something…

    The thing is, back then, it worked, because every app looked completely different from each other, and so it was a clusterfuck anyway :-D

    I swear we're just going to end up with Java again.

    Optimism in general has gone down the drain, and understandably so.

    Same here, I enjoyed it too. A lot of people are nitpicking on the strawberry analogy, but there is certainly something to be said about the commodification of everything.

    I never really understood what exactly is so readable about python. I've been developing in Python for 8 years now, and before that I was a C# developer, and I don't find Python to…

    But that's costly. Speaking of my own experience: going from a webapp fully hosted on an EC2 instance to a railway and vercel setup reduced my costs 10x.

    Okay, but not all results on there are valid, ForgeCode for instance has been cheating in the past: https://debugml.github.io/cheating-agents/#sneaking-the-answ...

    Why couldn't they just've called it Macbook, instead of Macbook Neo?

    Especially with things like: will my pencil work with this iPad.

    Was about to comment the same. It's a common mistake/gotcha.

    I wonder how much of their own guidelines they violated with MacOS Tahoe.

    Correct, my ex couldn't even be bothered to update the notification settings on her iPhone, let alone she'd be generating and deploying an app using an LLM. Most people just don't …
