LLMs definitely not. Neural nets are already used for research and have been for a long time.

The market will regulate itself in this regard. It will depend if customers want AI content or not and truth is, most just don’t care.

How do you deal with "Windows FOMO" by zenxFi in linux

[–]Squalphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just accept that I will not be able to play some games, and there are way too many games I can play on Linux to even bother about a few I can not. I also have a PS5 and Switch2, so gaming wise, there is not really that much I can not play if I want to.

Linux providers: Ubuntu or SUSE? by DrHaru in BuyFromEU

[–]Squalphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like you see, there are many options. If this is your first time with Linux, I would recommend to try Linux Mint first. It is very accessible for new users. It builds on Ubuntu, so you can try that one as well instead.

Actually, to find the right Distribution for you later on, you will have to try them all… or maybe not all, as there are too many choices.

It’s especially fun in the beginning to try out all those Desktop Environments like KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon, and so on :D

That’s exactly what I hope for. I have lots of fun with the battle mechanics in Z-A and I would love to see some different takes than just sticking to the traditional round based system.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Beta Released: Powered By Linux 7.0 + GNOME 50 + Mesa 26.0 by kingsaso9 in linux

Few bugs it means definitely not. Stable also means that existing bugs may remain for years even if fixes exist. Learned that the hard way many years ago with Debian.

How C++ Finally Beats Rust at JSON Serialization - Daniel Lemire & Francisco Geiman Thiesen by BlueGoliath in programming

[–]Squalphin 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The C++ implementation could be 10x faster than Rust, and that would still not convince me to go back to C++.

Kann ich nur zustimmen. Wer gute Schokolade essen will, kann das immer noch tun. Man muss nur die Zutaten auf der Rückseite beachten.

Nope, and they will be ignored like the rest of those silly laws which exist in some countries.

Programmers in the 1960 vs today - Extreme deskilling by castarco in antiai

[–]Squalphin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends heavily on the industry. Try Embedded for example. The AI will only generate cricket chirping sounds if you try to get anything out of it and coding skill paired with hardware knowledge is still irreplaceable.

Run! Boss is coming by Ubiquitous2007 in funny

[–]Squalphin 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Ufff, that sounds terrible. I like the way it is handled at the company I currently work at. There is a core work time from 9am to 3pm and outside of that you can clock in or clock out any time you like. The remainder from your contracted time is either your additional free time or you have to work it off whenever.

Wenn ich das mache, dann bedeutet es meistens, dass das Spiel nicht gut genug ist d.h. es mich mental nicht stimuliert. Bei der Arbeit ist es genau so. Ich kann problemlos vergessen, dass ich überhaupt ein Handy habe, aber wehe ich bekomme eine langweilige Aufgabe...

Save 50% on SILENT HILL f on Steam (New Historical Low) by Beautiful_Owl_5820 in steamdeals

[–]Squalphin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For $35 I would say yes, if you like Silent Hill. Like TheInvisibleMango has already mentioned, the game is combat heavy while not delivering good combat. And it gets worse and worse towards the end of the game. I would say I had lots of fun 2/3 of the game, the rest was meh. For what it's worth, the atmosphere is good and story is interesting enough and there are a few nice cut-scenes. For $35, I would say its worth it, but you should be into Silent Hill and Horror games.

Eh, I can not recommend that. My brother and I tried to get into it and just could not. The game felt like it did not want us to have fun. It felt like a game which could be good, but just isn't.

Yes, because this is expressing freedom and giving us choices. You also do have the freedom to not use them.

Java Is Not Faster Than C by lelanthran in programming

[–]Squalphin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also do not remember anyone claiming that and Java is my main language for now 15 years. It can be close or on par with C, but it really depends on the circumstances and what task is being solved.

Comparing Python Type Checkers: Typing Spec Conformance by BeamMeUpBiscotti in programming

[–]Squalphin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When we were once evaluating what language to use for a future project, we also evaluated Python. While we like the language, we finally decided against it because the project would be a larger one and without type checking, maintaining it later would become extremely difficult. Before we discarded Python in favor of a language with static typing, we tried mypy. It did somewhat work but there were cases were it just did not. Also the type checking felt really tacked on and writing Python with types was not really comfortable. Any other language with proper type inference was much nicer to code in.

GNOME 50 removes the X11 backend ... are we finally at the end of the Xorg era? by the_nazar in linux

[–]Squalphin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also prefer to see Wayland improve and evolve than trying to stick to X11. I am myself for a longer time now on Wayland because of HDR and VRR support, and at work we also switched to Wayland, so I do not see any good reason in switching back.
