Mate, I was buying a kebab and the guy was convincing me that the Earth is flat, there's no Moon. And it's proven by... something with shadows. At least I got a real kebab in the end.

"This is our world" sounds a bit exclusive towards other living and sentient beings on this planet.

It depends on what’s included in “our”.

> they don't need you but you still need them.

I can see very few reasons why AI couldn't replace their expertise for all of us non-experts, the same way it did for software development.

The reason is a lack of an immediate verification process. The reason LLMs are been great at programming but less so elsewhere is because if it generates non-working code, calling hallucinated libraries or functions, there's immediate feedback. That code doesn't compile, it crashes, it fails tests, it's slow, it's buggy. But if the LLM gives me bad relationship advice, there's no repl that it can use to retry that conversation with my now-ex until we're back together. Or whatever thing that it's being used for that doesn't have some sort of way to give it a verifier.

So taste is still a thing. Software engineering will have to develop (uh oh) taste and the ability to say no. Your app could include a button to make the device scream like a monkey, but if management tells you it has to have a feature that makes no sense, the answer is no.

How is it a "mysterious" model? It's Tencent's Hy3?

My question as well. Isn't Tencent a very well-known company? Maybe the mystery is in the model itself?

That depends on the perspective. If you're on the Sun, the wheels rotate around you.

Home is not the same thing as a house. Owning an apartment is way better than renting.

> The US has no laws on the books

Correct. They come up on Twitter daily. Pardon, this other truth bullshit.

Yes, and the Russians are still coming!

> or cool mountain areas

Absolutely f'ing not

Compared with KeePassXC and Syncthing, it is infinitely more expensive!

Oh yeah, I love having to manage sync conflicts in my password database because I was dumb enough to edit it on two separate computers that weren't both online at the same time.

Works best if you have an always on client. Easy if you have a VPS or a home lab, even a small one, a nuisance if you don't.

I have that and still have regular sync conflicts. :(

Yeah, my main reason to stay away from Keepass, everything is in a single versioned binary file. I like 'passwordstore.org', where every secret is it's own gpg-encrypted textfile in a git repo. Every change is a commit, easy to see history, easy to revert or know which version is newest. And easy to selfhost, you just need a place to git push/pull from.

What's to manage? A merge does the job.
