It’s honestly remarkable that LLM code generators are somehow succeeding in making writing software easier where graphical RAD tools failed. Frontier software dev engineers may argue it to be useless for complex tasks but the regular analyst or officeman is definitely better off for internal CRUD use cases that’d earlier would have required them to consult the dev team.
Sometimes I wish Lemmy was like Reddit in downranking posts that get heavily downvoted
Many GOATed piracy resources have always been hosted on Github. Massgrave and abbodi1406’s Windows and Office activators, Goldberg’s SteamEmu, and many of the public wikis that accept edits through pull requests.
what idiot decided that only one settings window is allowed open at one time?
Microsoft’s army of macbook-using UI “designers” who have to justify their salary so they make up shit nobody wants
Windows for Legacy PCs
Low-margin product with no feasible return over the costs it takes to build and maintain. Windows 11 meanwhile is the main advertising and cross-selling platform for Microsoft’s high-margin cloud and AI products. Little wonder they prefer one over the other.
Obvious course of events considering how the commodity PC market is essentially cut off from RAM supply for an indeterminate number of years with no respite in sight. Memory isn’t cheap anymore, and if they kept making Windows 11 as they used to it won’t be long before PCs in the market are simply left unable to run the OS at all.
Airdrop? Windows Network (SMB) Sharing?
Just don’t use IM apps to communicate with clients? I have always only known to do official communications over email. Is this not a universally well-established convention?
You don’t need AI for headless apps; you can (and often should) just forego a dedicated UI if existing platforms are a simpler approach. E.g. in most Indian cities we book metro/subway tickets not through an app, but over a WhatsApp text with a simple bot.
The orange techbro forum site (news.ycombinator.com) is built on a Common Lisp backend (it used to be a Racket-based DSL before). IIRC Grammarly is (was?) also written in Common Lisp.
Author likely isn’t talking about generic chatbot use, but about agentic systems that are being pushed for automating everything to the point you don’t have to touch your keyboard or move cursors anymore.
If you’re a pirate I always recommend keeping your gaming/media PC dedicated to only that and do other work stuff on another computer. That way even if you catch malware or viruses it can’t harm any important stuff.
