But I’ve seen AI results that are basically extracts of sources. They’ll even give a link to them.

21·2 months agoThe vast majority of business apps and network admin apps are written for windows so you either can’t run them on unix or they would require an additional layer of complexity that can’t be justified “just to be on unix”.
For dev and IT work I use a mix of windows and RHEL. Business apps in windows and terminal sessions on our linux servers. My db work is almost 100% linux.
At work us devs and IT folks use both windows and RHEL Linux. I’d say I use windows for business apps and Linux for everything development related except for terminal apps and visual studio. My database work is pretty much 100% linux. Everyone else in the company is likely using windows.
I always prefer the CLI at work but I wouldn’t expect the avg consumer to ever want to deal with it.
Probably the best response here. I’d also add the moment the user has to deal with using the CLI that is it for them. I can’t imagine the average consumer going into config files or even dealing with “chmod”. It is like auto enthusiasts rolling their eyes at people who don’t change their own spark plugs or oil.
I tried this with MS Copilot and got this:

list all of the US states with R in their name
Sure! Here’s a list of all U.S. states that contain the letter “R” in their name: 🗺️ U.S. States with “R” in the Name
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- California
- Colorado
- Delaware
- Florida
- Georgia
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- Minnesota
- Missouri
- Nebraska
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- New York
- North Carolina
- North Dakota
- Oregon
- South Carolina
- Texas
- Vermont
- Virginia
- Washington
- West Virginia
- Wisconsin
- Wyoming Let me know if you want this grouped by region or visualized in a map!
wtf, I checked out the claim about states with R in their name and it was pretty ridiculous how badly it answered it. It answers like someone running through their thoughts in front of you.

ChatGPT said: Here’s the full list of U.S. states that have the letter R in their name:
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Illinois
Maryland
Massachusetts
Missouri
Nebraska
North Carolina
North Dakota
Oregon
South Carolina
Texas – (wait… nope, no R here! ❌)
Vermont
Virginia
Washington – (nope, no R either ❌)
West Virginia
Wisconsin – (no R ❌)
Wyoming – (no R ❌)
Let me clean that up so only correct ones remain:
Final Correct List (22 states):
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Maryland
Missouri
Nebraska
North Carolina
North Dakota
Oregon
Vermont
Virginia
West Virginia
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New York
Massachusetts
Connecticut – (wait, no R ❌)
Minnesota – (no R ❌)
Hold on — I think we should actually verify methodically, because it’s easy to miss one or double-count. Do you want me to go alphabetically through all 50 states and pick only the ones with “R” so we’re 100% sure? That way we won’t miss any.
I keep wondering how AI is going to handle being fed poor data from other AI or its own output. It will be like a photocopy of a photocopy. The end result is an unreadable mess.
I use it to write scripts and debug error messages. It takes a good number of cycles though for it to arrive at a working result though. The scripts almost always fail on the first try and require numerous cycles to get through debugging. Once I have a working version though it becomes easier to ask for enhancements to it.
Best coding use I’ve found for it so far are simple, very clearly defined, small apps or modules. As soon as any vagueness enters the picture you’ll spend more time analyzing what it produced than is worth it. You might be able to use it as a starting point.
All of our apps eventually get real world stress tested against our giant test databases and load testing.
It seems to be best for plug-in, module type work with very clearly defined input and output and limited size.

Consider the people who were killed here also.
The first fire truck arrived at 2:47 am. By then, the inferno had shattered the windows and plumed the air with smoke. The stench of burning wood filled the neighborhood. When firefighters subdued the blaze enough to get in the front door, they found the small body of a child. Djiby’s daughter Khadija had been two months shy of her second birthday. Farther in sprawled Djiby himself and his 23-year-old wife, Adja.
Next to Adja lay Djiby’s 25-year-old sister, Hassan. She’d only been living in the house for three months. Like Adja, she had dreamed of going back to school to study nursing. She died with her arms still wrapped around her 7-month-old daughter, Hawa Beye. Medical examiners would later conclude that all five died of smoke inhalation, airways coated in black soot, internal organs and muscles burnished “cherry-red” from the heat.
Good point on the phone. I have a pc mainly because…
- I’m older and I’m just used to it
- I’m an enthusiast and do some programming, specialized apps, etc that don’t and won’t work on phones
- I do pc gaming
- I build my own systems
- I play with linux too
If I just did browser, messaging, mobile apps/games and calls I’d just have a phone.
51·4 months agoI wish tools like ad-block would allow everything to download in the background but just block things like ads from rendering. That would prevent ad block detectors from knowing they are being blocked,
Maybe write up some basic admin instructions (updating, services start/stop, user management, etc). Hire yourself out as a consultant on call if you leave :D
But if you left tomorrow would they be able to admin them?
Link to that? I don’t see any such protections except for children and some for journalists. Nothing saying you can’t be banned if they want.

This might push me over the edge to trying home linux. I use RHEL at work all the time. I just want to still be able to use Steam and Runescape.
