This discussion is the most boring, larpiest shit ever, neither communists nor anarchists are anywhere close to power anywhere in the western world, get your head out your ass.

How's Asahi Linux going nowadays tho? I know it's probably not perfect but is it usable day to day?

How can you prove B exists if it's not measurable?

Because I've felt it, I've felt how understanding feels, because ultimately understanding is a conscious experience within a mind, you cannot define understanding without referencing conscious experience, you cannot possibly define it only in terms of behavior or function. So either you have to concede that every floating point multiplication in a digital chip "feels like something" at some level or you show what specific kind of floating point multiplication does.

Also what's inherently wrong with art being generated by a computer? Not every piece of art made by a human is this unique, incredibly creative never before seen thing nor it needs to be as such, in fact most human made art is just rehashing of previous things.

"Understand" is not a well-defined or measurable thing.

So why attribute it to an LLM in the first place then? All of the LLMs are just floating point numbers being multiplied and added inside a digital computer, the onus is on the AI bros to show what kind of floating point multiplication is real "understanding".

Eh I've seen colleagues that use Vim heavily do their work and they're like at best 10-20% faster than me when it comes to pure text input/editing, honestly not worth the effort to switch to Vim for me.

Just switch to VSCode or something similar, it has enough features and shortcuts that will quickly make you like at least 80% as productive as you were in Vim. It even has a Vim mode so you can wean yourself off of it more easily.

Honestly never got the appeal of Vim, you need to spend so much time learning and configuring it only to squeeze out a little bit of extra productivity out of it when compared to a "normal" editor/IDE. I don't see why it's so important to be able to edit and write code as quickly as possible since most of the time you're going to be debugging or looking at the code or reading docs.

EDIT: Just noticed you said you don't code a lot. I think most of what I said still applies, I imagine you don't spend 99% of the time in the editor typing away.

It's pretty close, you just don't want to admit it because you've been taught to hate that word.

It's pretty close, not sure why you're being so belligerent over this.

For what I see as a helpdesk guy, most problems that are encountered origin from Windows being Windows, not tech knowleadge of some person.

Yeah but things just work by default more often on Windows than on Linux. "Linux being Linux" is also the most common cause of Linux problems.

Linux usually does give you the tools to fix problems more easily than Windows but that's where the tech savviness comes in.
