Apparently being critical of artificial intelligence is good for you.

Artists are going to pretend this is about AI art and not clearly text parsers.

>Vibe coding, sometimes spelled vibecoding, is an AI-powered programming practice where a programmer surrenders to the "vibes" and power of the AI, while ignoring the details of the generated code. After describing a problem in a few sentences, a programmer can watch as the AI codes a custom solution such as an app or website.

>In a March 2025 video "Vibe Coding is the Future", managing partner Jared Friedman said that AI has generated 95% of the codebases for a quarter of the current batch of Y Combinator startups.

I think there is a dissociation with how smart people expect "techies" to be and the reality that we live in a golden era of tech tooling providing automation and abstractions that have made the brilliance previously required not necessary for just shitting out new features to the slop platforms that generate the most profits.

People who have been brought up hearing about how their mums thought they were cool smart are people who now tear each other to shreds online in competition to prove their mums right and their colleagues mums wrong, that then all have an existential crisis when boss man comes in and says
>Really I expect 10x the productivity from all of you, I think you're all paid too much considering bootcampers, AI and foreign sweatshop developers can do "coding" for nish in comparison.

Tech workers could probably stave off the inevitable for a bit longer, but they were like crabs escaping from a bucket at the best of times, so they're fucked now the veracity of their positions are actually being challenged from above.

>>28945
that sounds too specific and kind of a projection
the truth is that most of these are empty threats that companies use to keep employees in line, the only difference with other fields is that programmers in the first world are too reddit to notice they are being duped, they have been trained by the internet to think everything is a good faith debate of facts and hypothesis

>>28946
>that sounds too specific and kind of a projection
Really? Because you've just claimed most in the industry are "mentally weak", which kind of proves my point.

>they have been trained by the internet to think everything is a good faith debate of facts and hypothesis
I really doubt this, any tech forum online for the last 15-20 years has been endless flame wars about languages, frameworks, platforms, types of programming jobs, etc in a seemingly never ending quest to prove that other people's jobs aren't "real programming", so it's not surprising that they have a freak out when discussions about unproductive, unskilled, unnecessary people in the tech industry is no longer about ego stroking, but things managers, investors and bosses are starting to feel emboldened to complain about.

Presumably 25% of Y-Combinator startups were then making some relatively derivative non-critical applications (in terms of implementation).

>>28948
Still this is probably most software.

I'm here so you guys scream at me to try to convince me to use anything but a noobuntu distro.

After support for W10 ends I'm switching my 14 years old home desktop computer into something a bit more recent, and I'm genuinely considering using GNU+Linux as my "main driver" as kids say nowadays.

I have a lot of experience using Mint as that was my distro of choice for nearly 14 months, I think Cinnamon is an eyesore but otherwise it just werks and I could do almost everything I wanted to do except running Game Maker Studio 2 which is only available on Ubuntu according to the devs.

I'm considering using Kubuntu since KDE Plasma looks sick and it's basically Ubuntu so I can consoom my noob gamedev kit in peace.

As an addendum I hate "rolling distros". Manjaro is an abomination where things just werk against you if you're not a giga turbonerd who's on the computer 24/7 and derives sexual pleasure from fixing tech issues.

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but the ability to create ephemeral shells is something I use more or less daily. Here is a blog post that might make the concept clearer: https://www.futurile.net/2023/04/29/guix-shell-virtual-environments-containers/

You can install both guix and nix on other distros, so you can play around with this without distrohopping.

>>28840
Yeah, i don't really need something like this. The only place where i would use reproducable builds would be a minimal server setup and i'd rather just write a couple shell scripts for that.

>>28841
Ephemeral shells I use not so much for reproducibility as for convenience, similarly to how you use python virtualenvs to avoid cluttering your profile with python packages. Whether this makes any difference to you depends on the types of tasks you do.

>>28842
>Whether this makes any difference to you depends on the types of tasks you do.
It doesn't really. The environments of my desktop is polluted by things from under /usr/local and orphan files from multiple releases back and i don't see anything wrong with this. For the chroots and servers i work with it's either similar or control is tight enough that rolling my own is the most attractive of all options. Sorry, but i don't want guix to compile the jungle on my banana server.

Emacs is your best bet then

Might as well ask here since its related to being able to propagate information and educate others.

Is there any good AI service that lets me dub long videos into other languages?

The Best i've found is veed since it lets you dub around 10 minutes but is like 1 of those pero month unless you pay.

Is there any service similar to fakeyou that lets me do this?

In fivem downloads go all the way 0 and keep trying over and over if the archive is more than 30MB, and eventually fail

In every single browser they fail immediately after awhile

I can navigate normally but downloads in particular fail all the time, VPN fixes it but then my connection becomes incredibly slow, can anyone help me? I really don't want to reset windows
1 post omitted.

I ignored this thread because the thumbnail made me think you were a bot

Anyway what you're describing is bizarre. I would recommend a good browser (literally any browser that isn't Chrome will be better)

do downloads fail in your phone when connected to your ISP router?

>>28915
I tried with several different browsers and all of them show the same error

The same error happens in fivem too and other platforms that are not even browsers

Only way to download stuff constantly without failing is using vpn

In the cellphone it works fine tho

>>28919
No, it's fine on my phone. Only in the desktop this shit happens

I thought it could be something related to my network adapter but if that was the case wouldn't downloads fail with vpn too???

I've never heard anyone tie Opera to China, it's just a standard issue loan shark company that advertized aggressively through youtube sponsors.
Also yeah here's a breakdown about it:
https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/opera

Is Opera Chinese now?

>>28926
owned 71% by a chinese company,and the chairman also owns 10% and is part of that company.
the biggest problem is still that it's chromium based

>>28927
I mean I really wouldn't care if a chinese company bought the majority of, for example, Meta. Because It would still be Meta. The CCP doesn't oversee every decision a chinese company makes for overseas ventures, just has a spanking paddle ready if a line is crossed.

So, I'm a musician, who wants to have a musical career (a lot of communist musicians had stable careers) and meanwhile stupid porkies tell me that "no, we'd prefer if you were replaced, prole, because there if no place for people like you" and I hear, not only music, but other art, computer science, programming etc. will be replaced by AI. How do we stop this, so people are still prosperous in the real socialst societies?

>yuo are le sUrpriSeD
No yuo are le sUrpriSeD here that despite me having some ideas how to improve how LLM-based bots behave, I am not a fan. I have ideas how to reform capitalism, that doesn't make me a fan of capitalism. I know how LLMs work and I don't have a high opinion about them as a general concept, not just the current versions.

I'm not anti-AI like the average idiot online but clearly the energy demands to sustain its growth can't be met without nuclear energy.

>>28898
You have made it pretty clear that you have no idea what you are talking about.

>>28900
That's neither true of AI as a general concept nor of LLMs specifically. DeepSeek shows this.

The knob for fiddling with output temperature does not require new training. Of course it is feasible to make temperature change during the conversation.

I wanna buy some headphones to go outside i don't want to spend more than 100€ on them. I want them to be mostly durable and secondly to have good sound quality, also i don't want to look like a jackass while wearing them, any suggestions?

>I couldn't make any pair of wired headphones last for more than a month
Keep them dry and don't bend them in your pockets.

at work (where I am forced to use Windows) i took a 20 second screen recording with the snipping tool. it was a whopping 19,565 KB in size. I ran it through ffmpeg and output it in the exact same format and resolution. it was now only 687KB in size despite being of identical quality to the naked eye. Why is the windows snipping tool recorder so fucking unoptimized? Why are file sizes much smaller once I run them through ffmpeg? I suppose I could write a script to automatically run every new screen recording I make through ffmpeg but still, it shouldn't be necessary.

>>28463
this is /tech/

>>28887
You could use OBS, instead of writing a script and relying on shitty windows stuff. You could potentially bind it to some keyboard macro and set up the prefs you want.

>>28905
tbf i like the snipping tool because it's very fast and ez to just drag a rectangle and hit record. very small learning curve. my only issue with it is the file size being huge

What mobile browser are you using?
41 posts and 4 image replies omitted.

I'm using Cromite right now but I'm going to switch back to Mull when I get around to it. Its mid, mull is better.

Vanadium the default GrapheneOS browser. If you're not running GrapheneOS, you're giving your info to glowies.

Ok, I think I finally found the perfect mobile browser. It took so long, but here it is: Vivaldi! It is a compromise (like everything in life), but it is a good compromise! Viva Vivaldi!!!

IronFox, a continuation of the now-gone Mull

Fennec
I was using Mull but I didn't need that much privacy protection, also the icon for it is bad compared to Fennec. Addon support is good too.
