Usefulness really comes down to which model is being used. I’ve noticed most developers choose GPT for Copilot because that’s what they are familiar with (or they often don’t have a choice due to company policy). I recommend to try Claude Sonnet. How it works is true magic.

But I agree, repetitive tasks is what it should be used for. Planning is still programmer’s job

Please add some context for someone not up to date with all that jargon. There is a trend here and on hacker news to just post a model name that says basically nothing and I often just don’t even know why I should care. Or maybe I shouldn’t?

What is the use case of stable coins? Fast international money transfer? Or are there other I’m not aware of

If something works, don’t change it. And GitHub, not being ideal, works pretty well.

… and must share search data with rivals.

What does it mean exactly?

Might be hard to do, it needs to be approved by president of Poland which is a big fan of Trump (contrary to current government)

thanks

Alternative title: “Reddit plans to make sh**load of dollars from data we’ve all left there for free”.

It’s like you bought a car and deliberately hit the wall to make a headline “cars make you disabled”. Or bought a hammer, hit your thumb and blame hammers for this.

Guys, it’s a TOOL. Every tool is both useful and harmful. It’s up to you how you use it.

I’m reading comments on arstechnica and seeing people mad at… what exactly?

The reason I go to web search is to answer my questions. Now it’s given to me at once, without need to go anywhere. Is it sometimes hallucinating? Of course it is, but have you really 100% trusted information on the Internet before anyways? I haven’t.

You say that ads driven websites are going to stop receiving money. But have you really liked ads driven websites? The same ones whose main incentive is to keep you on the website as long as possible or, in fact, wasting as much your time as possible to sell it to ad companies? The ones that were really worth visiting already changed their business model.

To that end the company is developing a “Pay Per Crawl” system, which would give content creators the option to request payment from AI companies for utilising their original content.

So Cloudflare is not as much “saving the Internet”, as just becoming a middleman between LLM training companies and content creators. Which I believe has a potential of being a true goldmine in the future.

I support this request, even issue on GitHub does not contain any (even short) description

Using Lemmy as a blog is an interesting idea, because it allows to distribute your posts to other users timelines easily, but does it do well in terms of cost of self hosting? How much more computational work does enabling federation require?

I’m ok with auto generated content, but only if it is clearly separated from human generated content, can be disabled at any time and writing main articles with AI is forbidden

Wikipedia is not made to teach people how to read, it is meant to share knowledge. For me, they could even make Wikipedia version with hieroglyphics if that would make understanding content easier

I love being in EU

So the current situation in Windows ecosystem is that application developers spend time working on protecting users against their own operating system

So I agree, I thought you are talking about some profit enshittification on Stack Overflow

For me, strict rules are what make this website useful. No threads named “help me” is why I like reading it.

For newcomers there is https://stackoverflow.com/staging-ground

Also, what do you mean “easily downloadable”? Can anyone download the entire corpus of SO in a way that they could set up their own SO with the same content to bootstrap them?

have you seen: https://archive.org/details/stackexchange

That they exploit our efforts to cash out and then sell the service for someone who will enshittify it for profit.

Can you give an example of this enshittification for profit?
