We don't need to drag people to Nostr before they learn what a computer is. I think they should learn what a computer is first, then come to Nostr.

> but i think that AI-assisted coding (ex: ai agent wrote a patch) is good I disagree, I think it's bad with few exceptions, not good with few exceptions. I'm of the opinion that knowing how to write code (not just review it, write it) helps shape your formal thinking, because the formal language you are using is better suited for the task than natural language and if you need an LLM to "help you" it means you don't understand what you are doing well enough, else it wouldn't really be of much help. Of course, in a big project you may not understand all parts, but I think there is a benefit to all parts having been written manually. When you do read code in those parts, you can try and understand the intention behind them and the thoughts of the authors who was thinking that code. I don't care to know who the author specifically is, but there needs to be one for this to be possible, same as with a book. Because it's quite hard to know whether you actually understood a bit of code correctly, I think preserving our ability to write it, and doing so, is what we need in order to know that, collectively, we do understand system in whole. Furthermore, I value the creation of projects enough as an artistic human feat that I think the relatively small advantage of using LLMs isn't worth giving that up even partially. > AI completions are fine too, to me, it's literally just "smarter autocomplete" on what i was going to write anyways Personally I'm for using code completion (not AI-based) if I can essentially use it blindfolded and know exactly what characters it will write. Visual Studio (proprietary, I know, but a great IDE technically) has always been great at it with its flagship language (currently C#).

This is very odd, by the way. It could be very easily avoided by parsing handles and replacing them with an internal ID upon storage. It would be trivial and the user would never need to see it. The fact that some platforms don't do this and just store notes as dumb plain text is really odd to me.

I don't think the Russian government wants people to think they don't murder people. Making it obvious is a form of intimidation.

Don't mind me, I'm just testing in production.

I don't suggest using Apple products, but I will share this. This hacker, Alyssa Anne Rosenzweig, from 2021 (and ending in 2025), as an Asahi Linux developer, reverse engineered the Apple GPU for the purpose of porting Linux to the Apple M1 processor. Kudos to her! Then, satisfied, she stepped away from the Apple ecosystem (good choice!). - https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/blog/asahi-gpu-part-1.html - https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/blog/asahi-gpu-part-2.html - https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/blog/asahi-gpu-part-3.html - https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/blog/asahi-gpu-part-4.html - https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/blog/asahi-gpu-part-5.html - https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/blog/asahi-gpu-part-6.html - https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/blog/asahi-gpu-part-7.html - https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/blog/asahi-gpu-part-n.html #hacker #hacking #programming #coding #apple #gpu #m1 #asahi #linux #asahilinux #reverse #engineering #reverseengineering

They are sadly very common means of censorship. Payment systems often censor with no (apparent) government intervention too: see how Mastercard and Visa attacked and censored pornography, particularly in video games, pressuring payment service providers to act as censors on their behalf.

> They're idiots Probably so, but censorship of idiots is no less draconian.
