“Latest and greatest” my fucking sides lmao
My company gave me some US shitware and I’ve got some local shitware instead.
If you can’t make that work and are dependent on the teat of the slopgenerators, that’s a skill issue on you, buddy.

Yes but why are we allowing user input to be fed to an executable in that environment?


I dunno man, I’m not a slopjockey so I don’t know the minutiae of the addiction.
All of our devs appear to have M5s right now. All of those copilot+ laptops have NPUs too.


It already happened, small language models are busy dragging their nutsack on frontier models, running on a macbook and costing nothing
Where’s the fucking product, Sam?


lfm2 works like greased lightning on the NPU built into the current macbook M5.


Does nobody isolate ffmpeg and friends from their application?
I can’t imagine you’d have much fun breaking into a container that terminates the moment the original ffmpeg stops, or over-runs its max execution time…


What the fuck is a zero day in the context of ffmpeg?
Its not like its a system service that you can get ingress through…
“AI found 21 bugs in massive video project” sounds like junior developer shit hungry to get some shit on their resume.
Even if it wasn’t AI slop, this wouldn’t be impressive.


Its also renting a car that I don’t have to maintain, nor give much of a shit about, which has its own value.
I do not aspire to -own- anything they’re manufacturing right now, its all trash.


The module in each door is actually a cost saving - All you gotta send to the door is canbus/linbus, power, ground and an optical cable from the headunit for (potentially) an in-door amplifier.


Just give me a premium-ish feeling sedan from a boring brand. Why can’t I buy a small, fully loaded ford or citroen or hyundai any more?


No, I steal the content and have the ads auto-stripped by not being a mong and having a few plugins installed.


People pay for that?


The IPO means they’ll be listed in things like the S&P 500 which means they’ll get automatic investment from our pension funds and the like.
Someone needs to do the needful.


I mean seriously, just try ollama with lfm2 on a macbook with the current NPU… Why the fuck would I pay these clowns to run that process elsewhere? Why would I pay for model access when they’ve plateaued and open/free models are everywhere?


I don’t think absolutely every sharp edge needs to be sanded off everything. I think certain things should require proficiency to be considered a learned skill.
Computers are still a skill, and we sanded the edges off until it was playmobile pieces rather than a productive work tool.
I wouldn’t dare call myself an accountant even if I can competently file things. Why do people think they understand computers when they have reading comprehension failure and can’t understand the computer is telling them what they need to do? These people don’t know computers, they barely know windows. They were always going to have to learn something.


Skill issue.
Equally, I have no idea how to do anything in Windows 11. Its as alien to me as linux is to you. I understand macos better than I understand windows.

Ya’ll need to read and surround yourself with people who can tie their own shoelaces.


Yeah, thats the vibe I have with Endevour/Arch… its just “get the fuck out of my way and let me do my work/play vidya game”.
I hate snaps and flatpacks, just make real packages guys its not hard.


Also, just a follow up reply: I’ll do what I want, thanks.
If you have a struggle with it thats on you, I’ve found it easy to get working and keep working. Even all my games through steam and lutris.
Don’t assume everyone will struggle with reading error messages and googling.
In normal countries, guns aren’t toys you get in a cereal box.
