Agreed, when I use an LLM it is a collaboration for want of a better word. I am auditing everything, guiding it, rejecting things I don’t like, and deciding when commits happen. It’s a tool, not a replacement

It is an impressive piece of software, and there are lots of other low(er) cost alternatives to Photoshop; but I think the broad appeal of GIMP is that it it is free in the GPL sense of freedom, not just as in beer and that can't be ignored in any discussion of the software. Also the fact that you can use it fully offline

GIMP still lags behind the photoshop I used in the late 90s/early 2000s. Then there is the name thing. I am *NOT* telling anyone else how to feel about it. I have no interest in relitigating it, but I am disabled and had it thrown at me as a term of hate; I just can't support a piece of software that uses it. We each have to stand up for what matters to us.

I would love to see that statement backed up with data. If you look at the other comments they are talking about more than just furniture

I am guessing because the version of Windows CE (the Dreamcast SDK version) didn't have the source to it; and for whatever reason they didn't want to find that source. Copyright reasons perhaps?

The 2650 was one of the first microprocessors on the market you could buy, it was shockingly simple to design, and had some dedicated I/O lines. Look up the reference schematic and compare to what a 6502 or Z80 needs. It was used in a lot of early embedded systems. It makes sense in that light

While not obvious from the article, it appears that they want something S3 like, but isn’t from Amazon, and possibly want to self host it. The article could be much more clear about the goals

Can you back that up? It supports `os_task_create()`, `ps`, `top`, and the default for `MAX_TASKS` is 8.

Question: Do you mean real time, meaning there is some kind of expectation of task switching time, nothing can stop other threads from executing, etc; or do you really mean embedded?

Help me understand: why does knowing the language matter? I can see why for contributing to it, though there are other ways to contribute than code. However to use it, why? Do you only use projects you can contribute to?

I disagree, it was a response to the article's title. I could have said it better, but it wasn't just a random rant

Personally I don’t care what it is written in. I care what the code does and how well it does it.

Rust is a cool and interesting language that helps solve some problems, but it doesn’t make it immune from all. But that doesn’t make it inherently better, or worse for the job. We have seen this trend for everything from C++ onwards (Java, Ruby, C#, Python, etc etc)

Well somewhere between a ZX80 and a ZX81, it had a better video system than either, but at the cost of dedicated video ram (IIRC)

I am curious, do we have any confirmation that the "AI hit piece" thing is real? It feels like everyone is just assuming it is, but it would be nice to see some confirmation.

Additionally Geerling raises good points, but I am not sure we should jump to his conclusion yet.

And where did I say any of that
