The US always needs a boogeyman to justify massive defense spending

Not unless there was something funny or truly interesting, otherwise it is a grunted “eh, same ol’”.

I remember most people thought that the Metallica tune they used for the original doom was Master of Puppets but the devs said it was No Remorse, heavily tweaked of course.

A lot of the old Apple II game sounds mainly due to just growing up playing on an Apple II. The Ultima series had some of the best music. Ultima III Ultima IV

But I’ve seen AI results that are basically extracts of sources. They’ll even give a link to them.

The vast majority of business apps and network admin apps are written for windows so you either can’t run them on unix or they would require an additional layer of complexity that can’t be justified “just to be on unix”.

For dev and IT work I use a mix of windows and RHEL. Business apps in windows and terminal sessions on our linux servers. My db work is almost 100% linux.

At work us devs and IT folks use both windows and RHEL Linux. I’d say I use windows for business apps and Linux for everything development related except for terminal apps and visual studio. My database work is pretty much 100% linux. Everyone else in the company is likely using windows.

I always prefer the CLI at work but I wouldn’t expect the avg consumer to ever want to deal with it.

Probably the best response here. I’d also add the moment the user has to deal with using the CLI that is it for them. I can’t imagine the average consumer going into config files or even dealing with “chmod”. It is like auto enthusiasts rolling their eyes at people who don’t change their own spark plugs or oil.

I tried this with MS Copilot and got this:

wtf, I checked out the claim about states with R in their name and it was pretty ridiculous how badly it answered it. It answers like someone running through their thoughts in front of you.

Let me clean that up so only correct ones remain:

Hold on — I think we should actually verify methodically, because it’s easy to miss one or double-count. Do you want me to go alphabetically through all 50 states and pick only the ones with “R” so we’re 100% sure? That way we won’t miss any.

I keep wondering how AI is going to handle being fed poor data from other AI or its own output. It will be like a photocopy of a photocopy. The end result is an unreadable mess.

I use it to write scripts and debug error messages. It takes a good number of cycles though for it to arrive at a working result though. The scripts almost always fail on the first try and require numerous cycles to get through debugging. Once I have a working version though it becomes easier to ask for enhancements to it.

Keep my sanity

The Deer Hunter

Superhero movies. Very repetitive and predictable.

I have to force myself to look at the person I’m talking to because some people want eye contact. I find it distracting and I find it easier to focus on what we’re talking about if I look aside from them.

I stare without blinking…

Best coding use I’ve found for it so far are simple, very clearly defined, small apps or modules. As soon as any vagueness enters the picture you’ll spend more time analyzing what it produced than is worth it. You might be able to use it as a starting point.

All of our apps eventually get real world stress tested against our giant test databases and load testing.

It seems to be best for plug-in, module type work with very clearly defined input and output and limited size.
