  • Also this interpretations is just wrong.

    Jacob is right that AI is changing the way that normal software development work gets done. It’s a new capability that has proven itself to be so useful that it clearly isn’t going away. Yes, it represents a significant shift in how we build software, it moves us further away from how the underlying stuff actually works, but the benefits exceed the risks.

    The benefits most certainly do not outweigh the “risks”, because they are in fact not at all risks, but an actively happening disaster of environmental, social and cognitive nature.

    Also the entire argument of “when you go deep enough nobody actually fully understands anything” is stupid. The people that actually understand the deepest are the people that are creating all our cutting edge technology. Modern processors wouldnt exist without people trying to go as deep as possible.



















  • Google Drive, Dropbox or Onedrive?

    I only use syncthing (website / android app) for all my file syncing needs. Its peer to peer so requires no server or account, but its not like a cloud where you download stuff on demand, but rather a way to keep folders of your choosing always synchronised/mirrored between your devices.

    So in practice i have my pictures, music, documents and keepassxc database (password manager) folders synced to my desktop and then i have a “stuff” folder for random junk i want to exchange between my phone, desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.

    It might not be for everyone, but my family and i love it, because stuff is just instantly there when you need it. We also have a family folder now that is synced to all of us so we can exchange large numbers of pictures, videos, movies, music, etc.

    It doesnt support publishing things to people that arent using syncthing though, so if you want to be able to just send a browser openable link to people to share stuff, then you should look to nextcloud instead.
