i had a gitea instance in a beaglebone black! Self hosting can have really low requirements (now it's a much beefier banana pi R3 router, but there are many containers running on it)
nope, nothing will either directly or indirectly affect me. Let it happen sooner, rather than later, and unleash the mobs at the tech bros that set the world on course to make everybody's life more miserable. We'll still be here to get the scrapped RAM and GPUs to train and infere local models thank you very much.
The current best models are already very capable of disrupting the job of millions of people. I don’t think a scenario where we just go back to pre-Claude Code exists and I’m sure the same models can be tuned for much of other white collar work at similar capability
People keep saying this but nothing of the sort has happened.
People continue to work, some proportion of the those working use LLM’s regularly.
Enough time has passed that subjective statements about the future don’t pass muster. Look at the numbers - there has been no large scale lay offs since correcting for over hiring. Has hiring slowed down? Sure. However I’d wager most firms are finding it pretty difficult to think of projects to take that will generate positive NPV. If that’s the case why would they hire? Moreover the focus has returned to cash flows - not product based growth metrics. Which again re-inforces the point about project selection.
Efficiency generated growth does not continue on forever - it’s short lived.
might be: there is too much busy work as it is, but we need people to work in order to make money in order to spend it in order to keep the circus from going under. It's the circle of life
Let me remind you that you are not paying the full price for the service and all the value of those company is out of thin air. More or less the premise of the article. *when* you will be asked the real price, we'll see if the company will prefer a human or a bot it can't pass blame to
That's curious. What do you mean by /almost/ impossible? Slightly more inconvenient / would have to visit a branch one time?
In the UK card readers are still widely supported by traditional banks. As is SMS for one time codes. People who think fintech banks are the only ones that exist might have a warped view on reality of course
i mean that i don't know of a single bank in my country that still offers physical tokens. I'm sure there is at least one and you have to go through hoops.
I left my previous main bank after they retired the tokens and mandated the app use, which required biometrics.
Current main bank is not so bad, but i'm not sure if the app works without google play integrity (at least it doesn't mind developer mode / unlocked bootloader)
That sucks. The UK gets a lot of stick for being 'stuck in the past' sometimes but when I hear things like that, I'm totally OK with it. We can even do proxy banking at a Post Office ! [0]
At least we don't currently require a US tech company (Apple | Google) to give their blessing to people to have a bank account :-)
Though I'm sure your country's set up will be ours before too long...
nitpick: just changed my monitor to a UWQHD one. The text on this blog occupies 1/6 of the screen, 5/6 of white. If i only use half the screen for the broswer, it would be 1/3 and 2/2. Still too much white space for me.
Anyway: Not sure why fairphone. While i like the concept it's still an android phone, eos is not much better than lineage.
If i had to change today i would go again for a Pixel 8A (or a series 10) and graphene. But if the OP can wait and see, next year we should get replaceable batteries everywhere because EU, and maybe wait and see whatever motorola is cooking for graphene.
Or check out the pinephone and go full linux.. i guess, when i'll have some spare cash to throw away..
it won't be an ad. It won't be a tip. It will be a suggestion! Recommendation! Opportunity!
