Well for starters we have past experience. I think it's a gross lack of faith to pretend we're just going to repeat the same things.

A far right government today may not be to everyone's liking, but it would obviously not look the same at all that something born out of the early 20th century consciousness.

This idea that voting "far right" will bring back the Third Reich and concentration camps and the like is ridiculous, and completely dishonest.

This idea that somehow it just starts with small things, and then before you know it, the Third Reich is back. Come on. It's 2026.

Today simply waving the flag of your own nation is almost a crime in some countries. We've completely lost it.

I see. It's annoying all the hype around these products. I feel like it's the same as "Gettings Things Done" all over again.

I'm tempted to try the free version as I'm curious what it is about.

Is this just a productivity thing?

Out of the top of my head I can't think of a lot of use cases but maybe RSS? Maybe I could ask it to give me a summary of cool tech news for each morning, and on very specific topics too?

Not sure what else I'd use it for.

I spend probably twice as much after Ubuntu install just trying to get the OS to behave in something approaching user-friendly. Plus install and configure extra Gnome addons to get a decent desktop experience.

Yawn. I have zero nags from Windows 11.

It's not that complicated. Yeah you have to spend an hour or two after install looking up some guides, tweak some registry keys & turn off a bunch of default Settings.

Then you have practically zero nags.

Also no need to update 600+ MB every friggin day like on Ubuntu...

The Windows dunking is getting old.

I'm really confused about Claude in relation to image gen and videos.

Few times I asked Claude to edit a photo it says it can't, or it produced soemthing awful by running some python library.

I don't get it. Can Claude do any image gen at all? Does it just delegate tasks to other tools to make the video or can it actually produce video?

If anything that shows that AI doesn't replace skilled people. It accelerates the production of these assets, still requires skill and knowledge to produce good results.

Up until recently, you'd pay someone else to create these. The organizer of an event or concert doesn't have the artistic talent to create these, nor skills in design/Photoshop apps.

Now the organizers of those events, understandaly, go to ChatGPT so they don't have to pay someone else, and this is the result.

That said it's likely for many the results are "good enough" and the designers job is effectively lost to AI. I doubt some random small event organizer sees the value in paying someone else to use AI to make them a slightly more original poster/flyer.

I'm not sure even over time we will see people appreciate the need for skill in using these tools because there will be more noob-friendly apps that do all the prompting for you. For example in this article it's clear one could make a "make a poster" app where you just click a few buttons to pick a style, and end up with more varied designs just like in the article, and with no need for another skilled person.

Should the repo be archived?

I rarely see people use that feature yet tons of repos on Github are essentially dead.

While I love the game I still think they are overhyping the game in the trailers.

The game always looks far more dramatic in the trailers than it actually is in practice.

One example that struck me is how they show players flying in formation while in practice that's almost impossible to do : your ship always flies faster or slower and it's really hard to follow someone else, even the NPC ships.

They also often show in trailers situations with 3-4 players doing all kind of cool stuff but the game never is that busy and multiplayer is still very janky you often dont see quite the same things as other players.

So I am excited about Light No Fire, but also not expecting something mindblowing. Unless they only port engine improvements, but no gameplay improvements from LNF and one hopes with LNF they really improved the combat mechanics which is the weakest element of NMS.
