Excuse me, no. I'm using open source MLs.

@jani

Erm, do you understand what an ML is?

@jani

Yeah, I've been at this with free stacks where possible.

LLMs are MLs,. You don't seem to understand that fact. Different abbreviation I guess, it's confusing.

>We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer.

Which is where the ML comes into the picture. All the coders I know, not many to be sure, but all the Rust coders I know apply Candle to their own dev/ directories.

The prospect of your output as a developer being tied to a proprietary service seems risky at best.

My output as a developer has made me moderately wealthy as these things go. I killed proprietary systems. You don't know me. The sheer effing arrogance.

Try that gaslighting shit elsewhere.

> Using a free software stack, you could be an effective developer with a relatively low budget. A cheap or used laptop and an internet subscription.

>LLM coding is changing that too. You either need a very powerful and expensive machine to run a local model, or (currently more likely) an LLM subscription. We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer.

To which I replied

>Excuse me, no. I'm using open source MLs.

Is it this part you don't like? Or this one?

> LLM coding is changing that too. You either need a very powerful and expensive machine to run a local model, or (currently more likely) an LLM subscription. We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer.

That's a begged question and it's not true either.

> The prospect of your output as a developer being tied to a proprietary service seems risky at best.

Which is, of course, bullshit.
