    Maybe someone should suggest, sudo needs compression capabilities and suggest a great developer, being helpful with that one? :D

    That's something i wonder as well. AI needs data to be usable. But what if all the data it gets is just generated by AI?

    The “largest ever investment” remark felt less like confidence and more like a “nothing to see here, move along” PR reflex.

    How about uploading them on mega, dropbox, mediafire or some quickly done wix page? :D

    Well, one company is doing already that. It's Valve and their ongoing work on proton, steam deck (which runs on linux) and much more in that space.

    Funny how the title alone evokes the old “real programmers” trope https://xkcd.com/378/

    The policy isn’t about whether those tools raise good points. It’s about not letting agents act autonomously in project spaces. Human reviewed, opt in use is explicitly allowed.

    Additionally, it comes across as pretty hostile toward new contributors, which isn’t the intent of the article at all.

    Maybe not targeted specifically at this project, but… can we please stop turning everything into a business idea? It’s something I’ve been noticing more and more over the last few …

    Oh wow. That something like this is necessary is kind of sad. At first (while reading the title), I thought they just didn’t want AI-generated contributions at all (which would be …

    It would be interesting to know whether such warnings also apply when the suspected spyware is attributed to a user’s own government.

    The problem with calling it “full stack” (even if it has a widely understood meaning) is that it implicitly puts the people doing the actual lower-level work on a pedestal. It crea…

    I really wonder when the point will be reached at which the South Korean government steps in and starts to take a closer look at the growing long-term supply commitments that compa…

    To be honest, it starts to look more and more like a single company (we all know which one), is just buying up all DRAM capacities to keep others out of the (AI) game.

    Comment #46419063

    Not quite. Making specialized DRAM chips for AI hardware needs, requires high tech components. Making low(er) end DRAM chips for consumer needs might be easier to get started with.…

    Hi lewq, commentator of your post here. Yeah, I used ChatGPT to help me write this answer ;) (Unlike JPEGs, it works at the right abstraction level for text.) I think the core issu…

    I’m generally skeptical of Windows optimization tools because they tend to change a lot of low-level settings and make troubleshooting harder later on. When someone already has a b…

    I don’t mean to sound dismissive, your frustration is completely understandable. That said, this does follow a very old and well-documented pattern: build a consumer image generati…

    The problem with DX12/Vulkan isn’t just that “low-level control is hard”, it’s that a lot of performance-critical decisions are now exposed at a level where they’re extremely GPU- …

    This article already feels like it’s on the right track. DirectX 11 was perfectly fine, and DirectX 12 is great if you really want total control over the hardware but I even rememb…

    Sadly, you get sometimes forced that "smart stuff" if you want it or not. Had to order large tv sets at work, got LG ones. Working mostly fine as dumb displays (for some connected …

    It would be fitting for a company, or rather, a former nonprofit organization, that builds on empty promises.
