It’s about on par with these tools no? Running a closed source configurator that heavily alters the core OS isn’t really something I would expect a responsible IT team to do. Doubly so if you are in any sort of regulated industry.

That’s true, graduating into my “once in a lifetime” economic meltdown made the second one barely even register.

This is demonstrably false to anyone with one of these devices. I can page over to my podcast app that I used days ago and find it is exactly where I left it.

Historically the surfboard has been the go to option for Comcast. I can’t say what the current best option is, but if you purchased your own modem in the previous decade chances are you bought a surfboard. IIRC Comcast has a page of third party modems that are compatible.

This made me consider what sort of orbital archeology would take place. I imagine it would be a gold mine for anyone trying to study that civilization, and attempting to snatch pieces out of orbit would be a huge focus.

I think much like the author’s writing it’s a very polarizing thing, and it either clicks with people or doesn’t. For those that it doesn’t I can understand the viewpoint that it’s extremely negative.

I disagree that it’s inherently rude or aggressive. You can absolutely tell someone they’re a moron in a very polite and joking way, but it clearly won’t translate into writing very well.

As for crass, yeah definitely ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯

Different strokes I guess. I personally appreciate the straight forward approach to this style versus the normal corporate environment.

One of my favorite people I ever worked with was like this. We could disagree on an approach, I’d call him a moron, he’d tell me to go fuck myself, then we’d laugh and go back to our work.

It’s a very different style of work where politeness, ego, and professionalism weren’t factors. The only focus was the tech and ensuring it was moving as efficiently as possible. You could really push things in whatever direction you needed as long as you had the metrics to show it was better.

The general gist I’m getting from this comment section is a general lack of awareness over DLP and security. The thing half these comments are complaining about exist for very good reasons.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess my only hope for not looking like I had a bad opinion is people’s intertia to move beyond CoPilot.

Not really. I expect those users will just use copilot.

Would they not prefer to develop for CoPilot? In comparison this seems niche.

Unfortunately I’m not aware of the reference to the HN Dropbox thread.

I suppose my counter point is only that the user base that relies on simplified solutions is largely already addressed with the wide number of cloud offerings from OpenAi, Microsoft, Google, whatever other random company has popped up. Realistically I don’t know if the people who don’t want to use those, but also don’t want to look at GitHub pages is really that wide of an audience.

You could be right though. I could be out of touch with reality on this one, and people will rush to use the latest software packaged by a well known vendor.

Oh my apologies for the wild goose chase. I thought they had added support for Windows already. Should be possible to run it through WSL, but I suppose that’s a solid point for Nvidia in this discussion.

I suppose I’m just struggling to see the value add. Ollama already makes it dead simple to get a local LLM running, and this appears to be a more limited vendor locked equivalent.

From my point of view the only person who would be likely to use this would be the small slice of people who are willing to purchase an expensive GPU, know enough about LLMs to not want to use CoPilot, but don’t know enough about them to know of the already existing solutions.
