I like your optimism, fairly unrealistic but the optimism is nice to see

On this point, it would be stupidly hard.

Just from a programming and software perspective. All the old code that runs banks and the back end of air travel. It barely runs as it is, do a switch up of years, even leaving the months alone and it would probably freak out. Standadize the months while you are at it and the whole thing falls apart.

Are you old enough to remember Y2K? That required a lot of techs to spend a huge amount of time fixing code that was never intended to see years change from 19xx to now just even consider 20xx.

That is before we go about changing paper Birth Documents, marriage documents, house deads, … Should I go on?

Endless meetings all focused around creating value for shareholders at any expense

It’s a big ad It’s a big ad Fooooooorrr beer https://youtu.be/_wM2c3WtDjQ?si=7G_HBu8FMGMZpdoe

A good chunk of my work is scheduled turning off and on again in the right order so things don’t break

This is an unexpected benefit of being in Switzerland. Here I was thinking it was more or less a marketing thing

Now that is someone who has thought about this question a lot

Legally the product is no longer their priority, maximising shareholder profits is their priority.

Not many companies manage to not get twisted to a worse product for the customers, though their ads get really good

I feel like I am slowly moving all my data being with Google to Proton. Makes me a bit uncomfortable to be all under one umbrella again.

At least so far it seems they are a decent company

Worth saying I am sort of playing devils advocate here.

Change it to what? It is easy to back seat yell “Capitalism Bad” but change to what? Every other isim has it’s own laundry list of issues. Which one is least corruptible by sosciopaths?

You don’t think sosciopaths are going to take more than there fair share in socialism, or skew the system over time? They aren’t going to find their may to the top in every single form of government to change the rules to their desires?

Quite a few will argue that we aren’t even in capatalisim any more, it has been corrupted and changed, massaged by “government” to the point of failure, the Austrian school of economics.

So it is easy to stand on the roof top and say “Capitalism is the problem” but it seems like a much deeper rot to me

Three screens billed as “business expense” actually used as a sim racing rig.

But you will end up filling any screen space you have. When coding I very quickly fill out the space, to see files and folders I am intereacting with, communication apps, websites, IDE, ticket screen. Some days I wish I had 4.

I was thinking about this the other day. I think no matter the system those willing to break the rules and find the cracks will always do so.

It isn’t a capitalism problem it is a human problem

Taking your keyboard example. Nearly all the popular keyboards haven’t been updated in a long time. They work (more or less) and so don’t need updates.

Under your system they would get achieved and new users wouldn’t see them.

How does your idea help in this situation?

Random thought, do Lemmy posts show up in searches?

I’m pretty sure that’s how I ended up at reddit. After so many google searches lead me to the site, I decided to check it out some more

As a slight positive it will hopefully reduce the reliance on wide spread pesticides and fertilizers.

For some people admitting they were wrong is too hard

I think GPT5 will be eye opening. If it is another big leap ahead then we are not in this local maxima, if it is a minor improvement then we may be in a local maxima.

Likely then the focus will shift to reducing hardward requirements for inforarance(?) Allowing bigger models to run better on smaller hardware

The old acknowledged the question but dance around answering it by throwing out another question and attack of character.

This guy has talked shit online before, this isn’t his first rodeo

That is the double edged sword though. Get cool features - lose true plain text

All the benchmarks put the equivalent Nvidia cards almost 2x more in Stable Diffusion https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/stable-diffusion-benchmarks

I hope that is an old benchmark and times have changed, but I can’t find anything like it that is more recent.

For a bit of my soul I get a lot more ai power.

AI works on AMD but the speed doesn’t seem to be anywhere near Nvidia.

I wonder this with obsidian also, it is one of the things that keeps me from diving in head first.

It seems a lot of its “powerful” functions are against it’s plain text advantage. However I don’t really see an easy way around it.

At least at the end of the day you or someone else could write a script to modify the plain text files for the next app.
