Hola

Enjoyed reading “revo, the programming language” post: revo.lung.fyi/blog/apples/

What's happening

"200K lines is not 10 times as much as 20K lines - from the mission perspective it's just irrelevant. And yet it's the easiest thing to measure. And so we look for the keys under the lamp post." ~Kent Beck www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8fBgDCf2Y4&t=2753s

Listening to this I had an AHA moment. When the powers that be made more and more LLM tokens the whole goal, I thought it was quite stupid. But I realized that for them it made sense, because in their managerial understanding of programming, they believed the output of LLMs is the best they could get for the money.

continued:

Or they just had investments in LLM factories.

Many leaders acquire authority through ambition and manipulation. I’m not referring to them. But a test of leadership for those who acquire authority organically, with the will of those being led, is to maintain the zeal and principles which put you into that position, after you encounter the machinery designed to exhaust, exasperate, deter, and demoralize.

the more you use ai to create stuff, the less you touch the creativity void inside you

replied to:

on the contrary, at least for me, it unleashes creativity because I don’t have to switch to execution mode (linear thinking), I can keep myself in the creativity mode (lateral thinking).

After months of hardly any rain, I’m really enjoying a cozy day stuck indoors just listening to the downpour; getting on with doing some house cleaning. Is it too premature to declare this autumn⁇

I'm really interested to play around with textlog for a bit. I miss the space that once was Twitter and its constraints. Let's see if we find any users here ... ;)

Using Linux hasn't really been fun lately, idk. Nobara, despite building on fedora breaks a lot, but overall the whole ecosystem is so damn inconsistent and fragmented. Not sure if I have gotten more sensitive to this over the years but all I want is a system that "just works" and feels good 😔

I had a great run with Mint for years. I was as boring as it gets. I got a new laptop recently and decided to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I am really enjoying it, but it is a bit too recent for me to swear by it.

Windows 8 szintű elbarmolást látok (na, jó, Windows 8.1), nekem amúgy kihívás a bonyolultabb kezelőfelület, ha a szoftver maga jól működik, de már a kezdet sem alakul túl jól, a Windows-nak új filozófiai szlogent találtam ki, ami egy magyar mondás is: "Ez van, ezt kell szeretni."

I see Windows 8-level nonsense (well, Windows 8.1), for me the more complicated interface is a challenge, if the software itself works well, but the beginning is not going too well, I came up with a new philosophical slogan for Windows, which is also a Hungarian saying: "This is it, you have to love it."

CD-re az Ubuntu 18 lemezképfájl ajánlott, mivel a későbbi verziószámúak nem férnek rá a CD-re, vagyis a DVD-re.

The Ubuntu 18 image file is recommended for CD, as later versions do not fit on CD, i.e. DVD.
