I haven’t read the paper but they might mean “Generative AI”

That’s the old meaning of it. The new is “clock it”. Get with the times old man.

Or even better, libraries of functions you’ve built up over time from visiting stack overflow

Clock it 🤏🏼 (just imagine it’s the middle finger down)

It reminds me of the people still being paid to clean up or maintain the large Fortran and COBOL codebases

Well duh, hot things are too hot to cross. That’s why they painted the Mexico fence black last week remember? If the fire heats the water too much they can’t cross it. It’s genius is hear, genius!

AKG 553 MKii checking in. I’ve had mine for years. Just replaced the pads and they’re good as new

Google has actually released a software update to try to prevent the modem battery issue and are replacing the battery in affected models for free. Rare easy win from a megacorp

Completely missed that. My eyes rushed over that as an alternative CPU I think.

We need more good AMD options dangit, not just NVIDIA

That’s a good point for the future, but I meant on my Pixel 6a and I bought it directly through Google.

That’s yet another trend that’s made me less and less interested in things. You’re not wrong though and will likely be my fall back

They even actually re-released a version of the 3310 a few years back. I still have my old Garmin knocking about, wonder if it’s got updated maps if I got a model without GPS.

Android is already based on Linux. But in general there are FOSS phone OS’s. GrapheneOS being the dominant player

I started joking that my next phone will be a Nokia 3310. I feel more and more each day like that should just be my actual next phone

Devolving*

I’ve been hemming and hawing. Switched to Linux pretty much full time for my PC, this will push me 100% into FOSS phone. Over half my apps I use would get blocked

Honestly this. Their cpus melting down over the past couple years and their refusal to even acknowledge it hurt their image more than any potential backdoor could.

I feel like we could find ways and tools to help in that situation without stealing the entirety of human knowledge, boiling our planet, and spending a small nation’s GDP. Like better code library discovery or a better mentor environment amongst coders.

I’ve also seen plenty of people get pointed in the exact wrong way to do things by leaning on generative AI and then have to spend even more time getting back on track.

Not even 25% of the GDP of the top ten nations. Seems like a much more worthy spend imo. Like all these billionaires want a dick measuring contest, let’s see who can come up with the coolest carbon neutral tech, let’s see which billionaire can fund the biggest national park or something.

My wife and I dream about building a zero carbon home. Solar roof, mass timber, carbon neutral cement, more environmental based temp systems like an actual thought about air flow. That or starting a commune in Scotland when the world collapses.
