Maybe some dude in his mothers basement will use A.I to develop a good replacement for salesforce.

It’s sort of minimalistic / lightweight alternative for IntellJ. Red Hat is working on the extension(s) which have worked fine for me at least for the past few years and it gets updates regularly.

I use VSCode for C++, C#, Java, Python and for things like docker-files, html etc. IntelJ is fine but a bit bloated in comparison with its menus, sub-menus, sub-sub-menus and built in unnecessary extra features for those just looking for code editor.

VSCode workflow with Java is mainly using it to write code, run tests, configure maven/gradle/docker/etc rest is more or less using CLI and Command palette.

VSCode is also fairly popular among Java developers.
There’s also Eclipse Theia Blueprint which is basically a open source clone of VSCode.

Being able to contribute to a community can feel very rewarding even when you get little to no compensation for it. Many open source contributors know it all too well that their contributions can and will be used by big tech to make even more money.

Hopefully EU and US regulators will stomp that site to the ground as selling user generated data for AI companies sounds like something most people on Reddit did not sign in to.

This sounds very amateurish from Plasmas part as allowing themes to run bash scripts sounds like a very bad idea no matter how you look at it.

Themes should probably have something like their own domain specific language (DSL) that can be fed to the “theme engine”(?) which will make the requested changes. If additional functionality is needed it should be provided through separate modules/plugins or something.

While Meta might have ulterior motives for fediverse integration this might also be just one way to comply with Europes new DMA regulation.

Did Nokia even have official digital markpetplace for their phones? I only remember silly 3rd party stores selling ringtones and backgrounds through text messages. Maybe when smartphones became a thing and when iOS and Android phones were already dominating the industry. If I recall correctly some Nokia phones even supported sideloading with data cable.

Their phones where also generally fairly durable with replacable batteries and chargers (3rd party options being available for both) and from what I gather fairly easy to open and repair.

While large language models are impressive they seem to still lack the ability to actually reason which is quite important for programmer. Another thing they lack is human like intuition that allows us to seek solutions to problems with limited knowledge or without any existing solutions.

With the boom bringing a lot more money and attention to A.I the reasoning abilities will probably improve but until it’s good enough we’ll need people who can actually understand code. Once it’s good enough then we don’t really need people like Jensen Huang since robots can do whatever he does but better.

I am aware of that but when all our friends or communities either use whatsapp or discord then it’s just more convenient. Honestly messaging these days is a mess

• Teams and Slack for work
• Whatapp and Discord for family, friends and interests/communities
• Signal for the techsavy friends

Honestly would love to use signal to chat with my whatsapp contacts. Signal could just throw in privacy notice when messaging with someone whatsapp or facebook messenger.

Currently I have signal installed and used to use it to message with my so but we have both moved to discord and use whatsapp to communicate with those that do not use discord. Still holding on to signal if and when some oddball from my contacts decides to use it instead.

AI may lead to less hiring but it’ll also lead to more software developers creating new competing software, services and technologies.

The likes of Microsoft, Google and Meta may have greatly underestimated the change this may bring to the industry.

Honestly this feels like the only possible way to win against Youtube. Goal could be to just create standardized decentralized platform where number of different companies/organizations can host and serve their own content while still being searchable and accessible from single client application.

Major problem with Mastodon, Lemmy and Peertube is searching and browsing content from multiple instances is still difficult.

Sounds like good opportunity for US and Europe to whip out some fines over Anticompetitive practices. With Microsoft sort of being repeat offender the fines should reflect that.

Honestly with Edge being not too bad alternative for Chrome this sort of shady behavior from Microsoft doesn’t do it any good at least in my eyes.

We can make fairly accurate assumptions on prisoners rights simply based on the fact that the prison is located in Finland. Here’s article from Yle (one of the most trusted news organizations in Finland) describing finnish prisons.

Prisoners are not really in a position to negotiate, meaning you can push this work on them in a sort of non consentual way that is below what modern society should strive for

Well the article does mention that the prisoner “Marmalade” was not forced to do any of this.
In fact the article mentions that she could have spend her time in her cell, doing online courses or doing chores for the prison for little cash. The fact that wired managed to just book an interview with the prisoner also makes it quite risky for the company to subject the prisoners to any traumatizing material.

The only problem I really see with this is the fact that this doesn’t really prepare the prisoners for live outside the prison in any way.

The museum of babel already exists.

However with generative A.I you dont need artwork for every combination of pixels. Machine learning seems to be really good at finding patterns in everything we may do or think.

With generative A.I we can use this information to create increasingly more human like output. In terms of art mimic and blend art styles, create new designs based on existing ones etc.

Much more elegant and way cheaper than using brute force algorithms.

For my understanding artistic works get copyright from the moment of their creation. This would allow one to pick battles based on how lucrative they may potentially be.

You dont really need art museum of babel for this but you just tons of different works that may contain unique characters, structures or objects similar to what someone might be able to imagine or has already imagined.

You may draw fan art with disney characters but its actually illegal to sell said art work without Disneys aproval until copyright expires. Now if anyone can start churning out for example A.I generated web comics left and right the chances for almost identical designs increases by a lot.

Allowing people to copyright A.I generated art could lead to huge issues where someone could just churn out generated images like no tomorrow and throw out copyright claims left and right. It could even lead to situation where you can’t really create any art because it’s probably something that’s already been generated by someone or close to it.

I tought JSP was just one templating solution like mustache, jinja2, Thymeleaf etc. But guess theres more to it.
