It seems that the Nvidia CEO isn’t the only one investing in AI tokens for his employees to freely use

AFAIK, Nvidia employees aren’t paying for the tokens they use out of their own pockets, although it’s certainly beneficial to Nvidia in multiple ways if their own employees are making heavy use of AI.

5 works best. In order to do 5 well, PRs must be small and nothing in any given PR should really be a surprise to anyone on the team. To accomplish both of these, this means that the team already discussed the work, broke it down into tasks, and then pointed the work. If any tasks are going to take longer than a few days, break it down. Otherwise, you’ll end up with 100 file PRs and 2 second LGTM reviews.

No account is needed to read Lemmy. I lurked a long time before creating an account myself.

I was recently eyeing uv, but guess I’ll stick with Poetry.

I’m the opposite and am most comfortable on a laptop. I suppose part of it is that I’m near-sighted, but only bother wearing my glasses when I’m driving. Putting on glasses to see a monitor isn’t ideal. I also seem to concentrate better in a reclined position. I’ve spent so much time using trackpads that using a mouse doesn’t make much difference. Switching between windows on a single screen also doesn’t bother me.

I exaggerated the 1h battery life in my original post for comic effect. This person replied saying that’s not the case with a MacBook. I replied expressing my approval for MacBooks and couldn’t help but also going off on a tangent to express my other thoughts on the topic.

I use a MacBook Pro M4 from work, and the battery does last.

It’s also amazing that Apple Silicon can have similar power to a desktop RTX 4080 in a laptop (according to Blender rendering benchmarks at least), except without a 850 watt PSU or a 16GB RAM limitation. If only it didn’t cost $4k and only have one Linux distro option. I’m hoping AMD RDNA 5 SoCs will be competitive and address both limitations.

Gotta turn the brightness all the way up so you squint at your laptop for about an hour before it dies and you have a tension headache.

They gonna change the company to something other than Meta now?

It won’t tell me.

Yeah, it’s a bad idea to let AI write both the code and the tests. If nothing else, at least review the tests more carefully than everything else and also do some manual testing. I won’t normally approve a PR unless it has a description of how it was tested with preferably some screenshots or log snippets.

Ha, yeah, I started on a Raspberry Pi 4 and now have spent over $2k on my server through various upgrades over the years.

I didn’t see the “says their time is over” part anywhere that he allegedly said. Guy’s still a piece of shit, but not seeing anything out of line he said in this specific instance.

I had like 10 repos and nothing of much value in the DB, so it was quick to create the repos and push them up.

In addition to not trusting the privacy of stock firmware, OpenWRT provides a lot of useful features for self-hosting like local DNS for your services and a feature-rich firewall to, for example, block devices you don’t trust from phoning home.

I just spun up Forgejo and pushed up all my repos by hand because I’m lazy.

The obvious solution here is to replace judges with AI. /s

While I prefer Linux and use it wherever I can, I use about every major OS on a regular basis. I have a machine that dual boots Windows due to some expensive specialized software I own that doesn’t work on Linux yet, I have an iPhone because Linux phones aren’t good enough to be a daily driver and Graphene doesn’t work with certain apps I need, I have an Android tablet / Android TVs because they have a usable UX while allowing sideloading of OSS apps that respect my privacy, and I use macOS on my work machine because company IT doesn’t support Linux. Yes, I’d prefer to run Linux on every device, but there are practical reasons for using other OSes, and it’s not like a competent techie can’t learn to use whatever. I assume Linux will continue to gain market share across form factors, but we are not there yet. I’ve actually never worked anywhere where Linux was supported, and while I’ll refuse to work somewhere with unethical business practices, I probably won’t choose to be unemployed to avoid using Windows. Google, for example, does support Linux devices for employees, but I’d rather use a Windows laptop somewhere else than actively build tools for surveillance capitalism.

TL;DR - Pick your battles.
