Who gives a single shit how good the "AI" can code when the purpose of "AI" is and always has been enclosure of all information in an ad-driven surveillance platform. If you love LLMs, this is the future you, yes you, are actively helping create.

There IS NO LLM USE not associated with the project to seize all information as a product. That is the WHOLE gamble being made that is driving all those billions into getting as many people as possible dependent on the most preposterously expensive and inefficient model of computing ever devised. It is only worth it if the upside is owning the whole economy.

Every step you take towards building LLMs into your daily habits and work ratchets the spring tighter on the mousetrap until, surprise! It clamps shut while your whole ass is wrapped around the cheese. Don't make me laugh with local models nonsense, if you think that those don't get deprecated the moment they pose the slightest whiff of a threat to the profit model - meta isn't releasing weights to be nice, it's to capture labor and control the tooling space. Don't be a sucker.

gonna gently push back that there's no reason (according to github's version of the story) to associate this with AI or with spectacular incompetence on the part of the employee; the issue is that industry standard, extremely widely used text editor Visual Studio Code has a big button that says "click here to add useful functionality to do your job" that has a 1% chance of installing ransomware

With xilinx dropping linux support on the free tier, I've tried to point a few people at nextpnr-xilinx. But it turns out it is not obvious exactly what repo to use and how to use it, so I wrote a small quick start guide that worked for me and which I can point people to https://codeberg.org/TheZoq2/nextpnr-xilinx-quickstart

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116605858023186072

Google Search rests on a social contract: their bots can crawl our sites, they can index our sites, and they can show excerpts of our sites because

and •only because•

they send people to our sites. •Our• sites, our words, with our design, with our links, with our context and our aesthetics, shared the way we want to share them.

Google is announcing — unambiguously and with great fanfare — that they are now fully breaking that already-ragged contract. We should reciprocate.

As coding agents become better and better, the coding increasingly stops being the bottleneck, and the bottleneck is how many things you can keep juggling comfortable. As the number gets greater, you'll tend to lose context, drop things, etc. Your ability to handle many things is probably one of the greatest strengths in these workflows.

Which is to say, thanks to LLMs, attention is all you need.

How to switch away from Google as your default search engine right now!

Right click in the search box you want to add in Firefox, pick "Add search engine". So do that for the search box on https://noai.duckduckgo.com/

You can then select this search box as your default search inside of settings.

You're welcome! You can add all sorts of "search engines" this way!
