I was alive when computer RAM was measured in KB and when you wanted to have more of it, you had to manually solder it to the main board… Youngling.

It really doesn’t help that it is a no-effort repost, of highly speculative article.

Check the previous incarnation of this post on the same community. It had a positive carma!

I didn’t read the article, I just looked it up. To find the fortune-teller graph that I can see on Leamy. That one that predicts that “misalignment” will be detected in 2027… And then AI will go straight up, or horizontal for a moment and then straight up. I don’t have enough time to check if the rest of the article is on the same BS level.

More helium to pump the balloon

Oh, that’s a great idea… On the other hand, I’m not sure if World War: Alyx would be much better.

Could we please pass on the third installment of the World War franchise?

I understand it was a global hit, but it was too loud for my taste.

Why would they join the war that is already won?

Well… You know, Trump has a complicated relationship with little girls.

My AI questions:

Can AI fuck off?

Can the bubble pop?

Can we make all AI models free and open source since it’s entirely trained on stolen content?

Agreed. Copilot hijacked my Windos, and I feel much more convenient using Linux now.

It might look bad for a smart person, but as a potential Tesla investor, you must ignore the facts and embrace the infinite growth potential of… Haha look, a new edgy tweet by Mr Musk!

Don’t worry, the AI bubble will probably export unemployment to the rest of the world before it bursts, so everyone can starve

IMHO modern tools and frameworks have reduced the work that needs to be done in the coding space more than they did in other areas.

Expectations grew immensely (as they should!) and modern hardware and graphics increased some of the needs… I mean, texturing was not a big deal, when you could barely show 10 pixels.

But, while big studios are overwhelmed by huge projects, the indie games are better than ever and there’s plenty of them (I think so… They were great the last time I checked… But I am old, so it was a decade ago). You can still get away with a bunch of lines and a few sprites, as long as you have really good ideas supporting them.

Religion is bad because “it goes together with fascism”… Yet, Islamophobia is also bad… you attacked one religion and then attacked others for not being tolerant towards another religion. In same sentence!

being conservative which in other words means fascist.

Really? I really hope you are trolling.

racism, discrimination and torture of minorities as part of a “democracy”

You are absolutely oblivious about things you write about. You were never in Poland and after reading that utter nonsense I’m convinced you are russian troll. Or have severe brain damage. In either case I pity you. (And blocked you, no need to waste time arguing with morons)

“clearly fascist” arguments include:

one of the most religious countries

has a significant rural population

For example abortion ban that you started with, was introduced by the previous government and was hugely unpopular.

Poland has something Turkiye doesn’t, working democracy, so we got rid of that government.

You can easily find a lot of garbage that Polish people say, because we also have freedom of speech.

Easier to produce is also relative…

<Old man mode>Back in my days, to simply draw a 3d cube on the screen, you had to calculate the position of each corner, calculate normal for each cube face to find which faces should be visible, and fill the area between corners with pixels for each visible face. You did all of this in a memory buffer, so at the end you would swap buffers to show the complete cube on the screen… With current tools, you could make a simple FPS game with a similar amount of effort. The problem is, nobody would care about that FPS game, because it’s also easier to recognise low effort garbage nowadays</Old… Nach, I’m still a grumpy old man>

i didn’t want to give up QWERTY familiarity.

That’s the neat part: you don’t! Once you get comfortable with a different layout, then it’s a second step to get comfortable switching. You will have issues for a while, but your brain will develop a switch quite quickly (it’s much easier than learning Colemak). Once you have the switch, it’s easy to use both layouts.

I work mostly on Colmak DH, but use QUERTY from time to time, when on my laptop.

The ONLY problem I have now is when my wife wants to use my computer… She doesn’t want to try my fancy Colemak keyboard. (But it’s more about it being a split keyboard with unmarked action keys in random places, than about the colemak).

Yes, I use Colemak DH, but can also touch type on QUERTY when needed (when working on my laptop).

I noticed that, while gaming helped me a little, it also taught me to put my fingers on the wrong keys (WSAD is not correct for typing), also QUERTY is really bad, I never tried to put fingers on the home row, because you barely use home row keys in QUERTY.

It took me two months of regular training to switch to Colemak but it was worth it. I type much faster and I feel like a skilled pianist when my fingers fly smoothly over the keys, and somehow I am even better with QUERTY now than I was before!
