> [...] and give you a clearer target for a smoother experience.

Actually, this means you're better running and older version. Is not that Minecraft makes huge improvements with each release. IMHO not enough to justify 16GB of RAM and a GPU with at least 6GB of VRAM.

Especially these days with memory being so expensive.

> on a decent speed

But you said 7-9 tokens/second, that's not a decent speed. I'm not an expert by all means but in my local experiments, less than 12 to 16 tps is too slow.

The biggest differences for me were related to non trivial network setups. Is just that you find docs and how tos for docker, but less so for podman.

Other than that, I haven't found anything that makes me consider using docker again.

How many upgrades have you done so far? And how many kernel fixes?

Long time ago I maintained a couple of obsd servers, and the cost in time of upgrades and the (occasional) security fixes was substantial.

I still maintain a couple of servers, but if it wasn't because Debian makes it easier by automating most of it, I don't think I could do it.

Yet I miss my time with obsd. I'm very interested in your experience.

Edit: it was 3.6-STABLE. Things have changed since then.

I hate this. Like the ticket is not expensive already, they also feel like feeding you ads.

And then wonder why people don't go to the cinema and wonder if they can increase the amount of ads to compensate...

Very useful because the information is almost distribution agnostic as Arch will stick to upstream as much as possible; or at least that's my impression as Debian user reading their wiki.

Also: isn't the Arch wiki the new Gentoo wiki? Because that was the wiki early 2000s and, again, I've never used Gentoo!

> A manager shouldn’t get bogged down in the specifics—they should focus on the higher-level, abstract work. That’s what management really is.

I don't know about this; or at least, in my experience, is not a what happens with good managers.

I continued reading, but you're right. Why did the author feel that it was necessary to include that?

> Pre-training is, actually, our collective gift that allows many individuals to do things they could otherwise never do, like if we are now linked in a collective mind, in a certain way.

Is not a gift if it was stolen.

Anyway, in my opinion the code that was generated by the LLM is yours as long as you're responsible for it. When I look at a PR I'm reading the output of a person, independently of the tools that person used.

There's conflict perhaps when the submitter doesn't take full ownership of the code. So I agree with Antirez on that part

I assume is this one https://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/

I used it back in Uni, in 98, and it really helped me to understand debuggers. After it, even using gdb made sense.

Mine: https://www.usebox.net/jjm/

Established in 2002.

Went full circle: static, PHP+mysql, python+tornado+redis (I had a nosql phase), python+Django+sqlite, and now static again (but this time with a generator, so it is all md).

> unburdened by how things were before.

What burden are you talking about? Using LLMs isn't that hard, we have done harder things before.

Sure, there will be people that refuses to "let go" and want to keep doing things the way the like them, but hey! I've been productive with vim (now neovim) for 25 years and I work with engineers that haven't mastered their IDEs at the same level. Not even close!

Sure, they have have never been "burdened" by knowing other editors before those IDEs existed, but claiming that I would have it harder to use any of those because I've mastered other tools before is ridiculous.

It has been years now that I only care about my subscriptions. I also installed an extension to remove anything else (especially shorts!), and that works great for me.

The downside is perhaps that I rarely discover new content, but YT can't be trusted to give me that organically.

Every time I access YT without being logged to my account and this extension, I'm surprised by the amount of garbage that YT feeds me based on my IP and/or location they infer from it. I worry what effect that is having in the population that consume it without safeguarding.

Sure, there's always been garbage TV, but this is the next level, and on demand.

Give Miles Cameron a go. Artifact Space is a good starting point.
