I do not agree with @FiniteBanjo’s take. LLMs as these are used today, at the very least, reduces the number of steps required to consume any previously documented information. So these are solving at least one problem, especially with today’s Internet where one has to navigate a cruft of irrelevant paragraphs and annoying pop ups to reach the actual nugget of information.

Having said that, since you have shared an anecdote, I would like to share a counter(?) anecdote.

Ever since our workplace allowed the use of LLM-based chatbots, I have never seen those actually help debug any undocumented error or non-traditional environments/configurations. It has always hallucinated incorrectly while I used it to debug such errors.

In fact, I am now so sceptical about the responses, that I just avoid these chatbots entirely, and debug errors using the “old school” way involving traditional search engines.

Similarly, while using it to learn new programming languages or technologies, I always got incorrect responses to indirect questions. I learn that it has incorrectly hallucinated only after verifying the response through implementation. This makes the entire purpose futile.

I do try out the latest launches and improvements as I know the responses will eventually become better. Most recently, I tried out GPT-4o when it got announced. But I still don’t find them useful for the mentioned purposes.

There are a lot of knee jerk reactions in the comments. I hope few of those commenters have read the article or, at the least, your comment.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

How are you approaching de-googling? I am unable to think of a graceful solution to migrate my emails and photos while preserving their metadata.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Ah! That really does make things easy for migrating emails. Unfortunately I don’t have my own domain yet.

AusatKeyboardPremi OP ,

Seems like Apple’s convoluted guidelines around external payment systems is working out for them.

E: added link to said guidelines.

HMD Pulse trio unveiled: affordable phones with 'Gen 1 repairability' (www.gsmarena.com)

HMD is betting that consumers are moving to more environmentally-conscious products and are placing an emphasis on repairability. HMD says the Pulse range is built to “Gen 1 repairability” and that users can pick up self-repair kits from iFixit. Repairs include changing the battery, but also swapping the screen.

AusatKeyboardPremi OP ,

True. Hopefully, the community helps maintain/extend the longevity of the phone.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Thanks for the list. While there are some that I read about previously, a few of the other patterns are something that I only experienced.

It is nice to know that these have been identified and labelled by others in the industry. :D

First time I am seeing Conan O’Brien in a meme.

The Hot Ones interview seems to have worked wonders for him and his show, regardless of which stills are taken from the interview. :D

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

That’s a really nice thinking exercise.

Makes me wonder why the aliens didn’t come back to the planet after nuking it. Or have they already arrived?

If they haven’t, why nuke a planet that one doesn’t plan to use?

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Hey, that rhymes. That’s sublime.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

MATE, any day.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

This guy MATEs.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Is that a new Linux distribution?

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Adobe … spam … Windows

That sounds about right.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Are those still being made? Can a consumer buy one?

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

This is the first I am hearing of this brand.

How does it fare when compared to, say, Brother?

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Thanks for sharing the recommendation as well as your thoughts on it.

I wanted to shove it into a corner where it won't get in the way

That is the kind of printer I am looking for as well. :-)

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Hey, at least they did not forget to wake you up.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Exiting Vim is for beginners.

Veterans stay in Vim till the end of time. Probably for the same reasons why the meme in post was made.

Apple says it spent three years trying to bring Apple Watch to Android …

… without customers realising their watches offers nothing more than the competition, and the primary reason their watches were successful was the lack of such competition within their walled garden.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Oh, I subsee.

Ubuntu 10.04.

A walk down memory lane

I received a free CD of 10.04 with a computer magazine that I purchased every time I travelled.

The CD was neglected for the better part of that year, until I tried it out of curiosity. I remember setting up a dual boot configuration around two weeks in. I removed Windows around eve of 2011 and never looked back.

Since then I distro hopped every six months but kept coming back to Linux Mint as it nailed the balance between stability and UX, especially for the home machine that would be used by people from diverse age groups.

In those years, GNOME’s UX regressed so terribly with its 3.0 release, that Canonical’s Unity and Mint’s Cinnamon & MATE popped up as a response. One of those didn’t make it by the end of that decade. In those same years, Canonical started alienating its users with questionable decisions. Fedora and Manjaro became stable enough to be recommended for actual daily use. The 2010s was a wild ride.

Though by the start of 2020s, I entered Apple’s walled gardens as I no longer had time to troubleshoot my devices and tools, and expected those to work reliably.

I still use Linux on the home machine as well as the homelab. But I patiently wait for the day Linux is stable for daily use on phones. :-)

For those in the unknown, this comment is in reference to an article on The Daily WTF, which ThePrimeagen “reacted” to.

rant

As I have frequently found myself not knowing a quip/quote/reference from popular (or worse, obscure) media, I am doing my bit to add context to this rather plain comment disguised as an in-joke.

For people who derive pleasure from posting such references, please annotate your reference with some context for others to take part in/appreciate the media you liked enough to remember and make a reference of.

AusatKeyboardPremi ,

Interesting. May I know where you are viewing this post?

This is how it looks like on Voyager:

This comment thread reminds me of the “hunter2” meme. :D

E: adding screenshot taken from Voyager.

That is a very astute observation, and I would not worry about the temporary decline for this very reason.

Also, looking at your username.. ”can somebody please find Margot Robbie so that I can make sense of all this”
