Yes, but BI is not a good example of industry.

It's like Software, its value is to be a complement and/or an abstraction of existing businesses. All of that sits on the very basics of the essence of civilization, which is how much things we can get off the soil and what how quickly and effective we can transform it.

Not to be anti-tech, but every new advancement, no matter how next-level, has to sell more of the same goods and services people have been using since the dawn of civilization, and those goods and services need to solve the mundane problems people have been getting since millenia.

We don't even need a standard for reasoning levels.

Just accept whatever the provider names as "medium" and compare the accuracy between models vs the time it takes to complete a task.

Why not just, like, ask Claude about it?

"Hey Claude I want to create a fanmade Game Boy game, give me recommendation of tools, libraries and workflows for it" and boom.

You can use AI to learn stuff, instead of just using it as a Pokemon.

I was thinking on going back to Mate. Now I can happily vibe code any Gnome2 Plugin I want.

Worst case the code sucks but it's fine if I keep them for myself.

GNOME 2 used to mimic Classic Mac OS UI, plus it was super customizable and easy to create extensions for.

Peperridge Farm remembers.

Someone should implement this as a mod for RTX No Man Sky

I personally don't mind cloud LLMs as long as I'm aware of what's being sent to the internet.

I was thinking that it's a new thing for our field for such products only to be available behind a paid service. Before LLMs, there was always a local version of a product that worked just fine but with less capacity. Say, amazon vs local kubernetes, or CGI machines at Disney vs local Blender.

But on many other fields is normal for that to happen. Blacksmiths don't usually have a small steel furnace in their homes. Nurses don't buy a personal version of a CT Scanner to practice at home.

But that's a discussion for another time I guess.

> then why bring it to life?

Like many things in life, the answer is just "because I want to" and "because I can". Not everything has to be a linear progression or a level-up mechanic like a mmorpg.

Sometimes you want to create something out of creativity and you like seeing it done. The same way a painter wants to create something, not to show off skills, not to linearly progress onto something, but because they like making something out of nothing.

You can say the same for building computers. You didn't actually "built" a computer from the ground up. You just bought the pre-made hardware and plugged it in the places that are made to be easily pluggable.

Everything in tech is about standing in the shoulders of what came before.

Not for me. I do like having an agent at my disposition that accelerates the way into making those little experiments a reality. A sloppy reality? Maybe. But It's just tinkering, there's no other use case for this outside of saying "So this can be done, huh? Okay time to go to for a walk".

While it's totally respectable to treat your code as your personal zen garden, I like the idea of having a highway where I can make reality anything that comes from my imagination, and also having time for family, friends, work and exercising out of sedentarism.

AFAIK Charles III is the monarch both for UK and Canada.

Doesn't this mean that Canada is, in a certain degree, dependent of UK?

In regards to the site, all of them follow almost the same templates.

Once you see a few, it becomes obvious

IMHO people expected a Pi that offered similar performance as a Mac M1 but with Linux as first class citizen

Still, it's a tool.

Even if your tool learns to talk and to make decisions, it's still a tool, not a person. You're the person and the one responsible for the decisions you make based on your tools.

Going back from the analogy, the problem is that we conflated software <engineers> with "coders". A lot of people thought their job was to create code, we gave them a tool to generate a lot of code fast, and they truly think that "more code" = "more good"
