Saying "if you don't use AI you're getting left behind" is like saying "if you don't use a Roomba you'll never know how to clean your house."

Systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success

The year is 2013 and I am hopping mad.

systemd is replacing my plaintext logs with a binary format and pumping steroids into init and it is laughing at me. The unix philosophy cries out: is this the end of Linux (or, as many are calling it, GNU plus Linux)?

The year is 2025 and I’m here to repent. Not only is systemd a wort

No, computers won’t replace humans to write code for themselves.

Please stop with this nonsense.

What we will see though is tremendous losses in productivity as deskilled programmers will get less and less education and practice—and take longer and longer to make broken AI-generated code work. Meanwhile, AI models will regress from eating their own generated shit when being trained on.

Eventually AI companies will finally run out of investors to scam—and when they disappear or get so expensive they become unaffordable, “prompt engineers” will be asked to not use AI anymore.

What’s gonna happen then?

We’re losing a whole generation of programmers to this while thought leaders in our field are talking about “inevitability” and are jerking off to sci-fi-nostalgia-fueled fantasies of AGI.

So the main "arguments" when I say "AI doesn't work" and "it will collapse" are:

1. "You don't know what you're talking about"
2. "It's inevitable and here to stay, might as well go with the program"
3. "But it's almost there! Just last week they released [name of model] that is so close!"

Literally no one ever replies with any concrete examples with how it reliably, ethically and non-wastefully works for them to increase their productivity and improve their and other people's lives in any meaningful way.

It's always ad hominems, hypotheticals or deeply flawed "it sort of works for this".

If you have one o them retro emulation handheld doodads, tell me what your favorite game to play on it is

Some of my favs are one must fall 2097 (DOS), knights of the round (SNES), and snow bros (haven't decided my favorite platform)

@hypha that's right, it goes in the /nix/store!

NixOS can live anywhere: why, how, and where?

NixOS is extremely versatile in terms of ways to get it onto machines! Let's explore:- How a Linux system boots- What a NixOS system consists of- How this en...

@linus hm, will watch later
@hypha it's mostly just about those 30 seconds where I used that exact meme
@linus oh, the timestamp was ineffective
@hypha nix is a ploy by Big Symlink to make more symlinks
@0x4d6165 @hypha big nix is cutting down rainforests to build more linkFarms
@hypha sometimes i think about symlinking /usr to /run/current-system/sw just to feel something
@hypha
same, but with /dev/null
@hypha oh hey i made this!
