This goes both ways, of course. I'm from Germany and I consider myself a "western" person, but why would anyone call the process of making the weights neutral anything like "westernize"??

FWIW I'd think the westernized version would then "retaliate" and favor western over "eastern" users.

That's NOT really creating trust...

You need to get on top of that code. Read it, understand it and rebuild the parts you don't understand.

That's essential as you should really "own" the solution you sell and take money for, as you're responsible for what it does on your customers' hardware.

I can see both:

- more bugs becoming visible that were hidden within the software we use daily

- more bugs (in absolute terms) as more people create more software in a very short amount of time (regardless of their professional training)

- less bugs in existing software as the developers and dev orgs of existing projects is capable of automating bug hunting, test case creation, ... in essence: They get a multiplying effect out of AI regarding their capabilities.

In short: Actual developers with actual experience (the more, the merrier) can do better work while the barrier to enter "the market" for untrained individuals is a lot lower resulting in a huge amount of new software whose "success" is to be determined.

> Software teams are capturing a lot of the speedup in the form of more leisure or quasi-leisure time. (To greatly simplify: software teams are offering 2x speedups to their companies. They're then using tools that allow them to work 10x as efficiently, and taking nice long coffee breaks.)

Writing code is not the bottleneck anymore, making decisions is. Making the right decisions needs context and thinking. A coffee break might actually help productivity. Driving a Ferrari full speed in a crowded city - only because you can - doesn't make the outcome better.

Is this satire?

Hey Mert, welcome! It really was a cool time at the company at the time. And the L‘Osteria across always was a nice retreat! Hope you’re doing well!

Big facepalm... EU had really only one job with the EU wallet... And missed the point completely. GrapheneOS is probably closer to EU data security and privacy standards than Android or iOS.

So, either don’t use Github web ui or don’t use Chrome. However it‘s probably pretty safe to say all browsers behave equally power-hungry.

We need to learn to be more conscious about the impact our way of doing things has.

Elon having Cursor in his claws now doesn’t exactly instill a sense of security in me to actually store IP on their servers. Forgejo works nicely enough my homelab. Thank you!

That's not entirely true, and skews the actual facts, that while Microsoft Bing Ads network is used to generate revenue for Qwant it does NOT provide BING with the full user details of their users, but only with limited anonymous (pseudonymous) data.

Suffice to say they need to get their own search index fully filled and stop using Bing (or whatever US-based) data. It's a process...

This might actually be cool hardware! I'm just wondering why anyone would waste all the overhead for the Windows OS. There's probably only 48 Gigs of unified memory left when your log-on completes...

Actually yes and no. The current implementation is more like a monitor of things going on. I used it to visualize the current state of a project that I let AI agents work on. So the board is read-only, and I think that's mostly fine for now. Porting this read-only view to HTML and put a little http/websocket service in there would be easy on the one hand, but break the TUI setting somewhat. Feel free to create an issue for it, though.
