I think diversifying was fairly inevtiable. What's different is they're not scraping your data

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't agree it's about semantics; it's about devaluation of communication. LLMs and their makers threaten that in multiple ways. Thinking of it as "lying" is one of them.

and here's the instructions for future reference ...

as I understand it, you're saying the web was attacked by SEO, and that sounds entirely correct, but I don't follow how that means AI isn't also killing the web.

tbh I don't have the energy to contribute meaningfully to this conversation so I'll stop before I say something silly

I'm not sure I can think of an example beyond lack of software/driver support

General difficulty of use (i.e. how many things do I have to read and do for something to happen the way I want)

And I want libraries to be officially supported, whatever that looks like, mainly so I don't have to use workarounds or unverified sources (I don't want to be using lots of Arch's equivalent of PPAs, for example)

Arch Linux limitations? (programming.dev)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by staircase@programming.dev to c/linux@programming.dev

I'm curious about trying Arch Linux, but I want to know what's difficult or impossible with it first, as that's usually what stops me sticking with a distro.

I'm particularly interested in software/driver support. For example, NVIDIA doesn't mention Arch in its CUDA download page.

UPDATE: OK it sounds like Arch is for bleeding edge. That sounds fun, but I like things simple and reliable, so I'll still with Ubuntu. I might run Arch on my secondary drive, or toy with it in Docker.

it would be nice if you're right. I don't know enough to comment. But I don't have confidence in market forces, for very good reason. My concern is that bad will be replaced by worse

my distro has Polish, but translated into English cos I can't read Polish. Very user-friendly

why do you say it's not killing the web? How many people are on lemmy because of the enshitiffication of privately owned social media?

I'm not trusting a regex written by AI

[-] staircase@programming.dev 16 points 2 weeks ago

I don't understand your point. How is it good that the developers thought they were faster? Does that imply anything at all in LLMs' favour? IMO that makes the situation worse because we're not only fighting inefficiency, but delusion.

20% slower is substantial. Imagine the effect on the economy if 20% of all output was discarded (or more accurately, spent using electricity).

I honestly don't believe it's snarky. I think a lot of us have had enough of this corporate AI hype bullshit

I'm thinking 2x32GB, tempted by more but seems excessive

My computer is slow at compiling, esp. LLVM. If I were to buy a new computer, what components would I focus on to improve this?

Title really, but some comments ...

I'm likely to move to Codeberg, and I like the idea of a CI system that I can run locally, without tie-in to a particular code hosting vendor. But why this over e.g. Jenkins, or whatever other systems there are these days? I'm new to Woodpecker.
