The main advantage of fediverse over, let’s say X, is that you can change server if you find owner not trustworthy. So just do it, it’s exactly why it was designed in this way, to let you do it easily.

But talking about funding… I might indeed reconsider doing this…

I’m using Proton for privacy, not anonymity. I’ve literally put my name and surname in my email address. I don’t care if someone knows that me is me.

But I do care that no one is reading and/or automatically processing my mails.

Hopium administered

It’s not “manufacturered”, so it’s not conspiracy. But it’s from unreasonable and unacceptable high demand.

Who are investors and where is their money from?

If it’s from investment funds, then I’ve got bad news for all of you, it is your money as well.

I hope this “AI” knows what language is used in songs. Sometimes I like to listen to songs in certain language (usually the one I’m actually learning). The potential use case would be to create a playlist with songs of certain language and genre I like.

As for now, it turns out it’s incredibly hard to do. For example even if you find, say, popular French song and use option to “find similar” then algorithm usually finds either songs with similar genre or even french songs but sang in English.

We evaluated Devstral 2 against DeepSeek V3.2 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 using human evaluations conducted by an independent annotation provider, with tasks scaffolded through Cline. Devstral 2 shows a clear advantage over DeepSeek V3.2, with a 42.8% win rate versus 28.6% loss rate. However, Claude Sonnet 4.5 remains significantly preferred, indicating a gap with closed-source models persists.

Thank you for being honest about performance

This attitude is plainly wrong. If you use Linux because it is free as “free of charge” then you are missing a point. You should use it because it is open.

I would even say that they should contribute the same amount of money to organisations that actually develop a software that they are going to use. Because they will certainly need support and security patches and this will never be free

and DO NOT DEFINITELY pay for journalist’s work, because he certainly do not need to pay taxes, rent and will happily write articles for you free of charge and paywall is just to make you mad

Some people might think you are joking, but it’s actually true

It’s the IKEA effect. You tend to like something more if you built it yourself.

Cloud. Windows is going to be sold as remotely accessible virtual machine hosted on Azure. The change will first take place in government offices, then in companies, and finally (after people get used to it at work) among consumers.

Why would gov and enterprise like it? Because of:

• safety - all enterprise data will be stored on Azure servers and won’t ever leave it. It makes preventing data leakage so much easier
• maintenance - software updates can be applied even outside of working hours, Microsoft could launch VMs and update at any time
• ease of upgrade - need better specs? you don’t need to buy better hardware anymore, you just buy better subscription. Hardware won’t become obsolete anymore that quickly

Consumers will also like it. No need to pay hundreds of dollars for new GPU when you just want to play newly released game. Also, all your data accessible from anywhere in the world.

And why Microsoft would like it? Kinda obvious, it would be even harder for users to quit a subscription, they will be tied to ecosystem even more

This makes me wonder why Google is not investing in Fediverse forums like Lemmy. I mean: it is basically a clone of Reddit but the data is open. So there would be no need to make any deals or pay bazillion dollars.

If something works, don’t change it. And GitHub, not being ideal, works pretty well.

Kinda weird, Lemmy community is becoming more and more anti-everything recently 😂

I’m wondering what exactly caused so many downvotes? Isn’t video about updates to the most popular programming editor not suitable for community named “programming”?

Software you create with LLMs is deterministic, because it is the same code as you produce manually. The process of creating it is maybe not, but it is a task of a programmer to review it before publishing it.

AI is just an even higher level of abstraction. Just like we’ve replaced assembly with C (so we won’t need to know how processors work internally), and then C with some higher-level languages (so we could stop care about allocating memory that much), now we are replacing those higher-level languages with natural language (to stop wasting time on learning syntax of frameworks).

Does it mean programming jobs are obsolete? Of course not. Because programming was never about writing code. It has always been about translating requirements into actual software solutions.

Hard to imagine, but ok, let’s see

*Best on Windows 11 with 64 GB RAM and 16 CPU cores

man wtf

IMO one of the most important features
