Funnily enough, Asimov tackles this in his short stories. The power goes to...the robots ( AI basically )

Do you genuinely use em-dashes in your regular writing ? I'm just curious because whenever I type I simply press -

Because I don't trust someone else to not train or steal our source code, or, even legally, introduce some silly cause after we are invested/locked into their infra, that allows th…

Ah, you assumed I meant SaaS GitLab. I meant the self-hosted version. I would never host our source code on a remote service.

GitLab ?

ok...there's no 'general' IQ afaik

> I think Douglas Hofstadter satisfactorily answered this question. He didn't prove anything. It's a theory, just like many others: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/consciousness…

We don't even know what human consciousness is. We can't even answer if we have free will or not. And you are proposing that AGI..is what exactly ?

Weird, I feel I'm talking to an LLM with a limited context window. >>Centos didn’t go away. It changed. Rocky (et. al.) took the old centos role, and >>I see this as a win/win for …

You actually said Rocky was a successor to CentOS as well, which is what I responded to. As someone that tried to upgrade CentOS to Rocky, I can tell you that it may succeed it in …

So what's your point then ? That these are toy/homelab distros ? If so, then we are in agreement

And knowing all this you still can't see what the use case might be for BSD ?

So then what's the point of mentioning Rocky as CentOS's successor ? In what way is it 'succeeding' ? That you can do a fresh install of Rocky ? And those stuck on CentOS can't upg…

I actually laughed out loud. Try upgrading CentOS to Rocky vs FreeBSD 11 to 15 ( that's FOUR major versions from 2017 I think ), and tell me again how good it is. In LTS environmen…

*everything. I've really been using it since 4.x. Imagine this: being able to upgrade a system in-place with freebsd-update from minor to major to minor version without everything …

Bingo. Most of my employees come from big tech (not faang, but big corps ) where they felt they couldn't really deliver what they wanted and what they're capable of. These guys lov…

My team of 6 people has been building a software to compete with an already established piece of software written by a major software corporation. I'm not saying we'll succeed, I'm…

Just hired a 45yo who excels and loves and thrives doing this stuff. Proxmox, local storage, local backups + offsite backups. 1Pb of data, colocation costs are 5k/month. Guess AWS …

What a joke of a comment. Trump and Musk and Vance explicitly support every anti-EU party in a half-dozen EU countries. Cuz they wanna make EU stronger, durrr.

Italy, the core remnant of the Roman Empire, has unmatched language diversity, often varies even from town to town. It's a colorful mosaic of micro cultures and customs where peopl…

This is fascinating, assuming you are both natives of Poland. Is there as much language variance in Poland as in, say, Italy ?

How does this happen ? The poster above you isn't really Polish ? How can someone that claims to know Polish not know there's two different words ?

it's ok, I know you meant for this thread to diverge into pointless arguments. But for everyone else reading: 1. https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=ex 2. "Bolsh…

1. You use 'ex' to mean except ? In common parlance ex means 'example'. So your phrase becomes: National treasures (example gold) were returned in '35 and '56. Which is what I resp…

You have no idea what you are talking about. 1. They never returned 92tons of gold. The vast majority of the national treasure is still in Moscow. I hope the EU ties this to the cu…
