Euro vs US.

Not sure about Europe but I know there are actually a lot of studies in the US that show that cats are in fact super bad for the environment here and that they decimate native populations of small ground fauna.

I would also be careful with your generalization that cats don’t cause majority problems in majority countries unless you have concrete research to back that up because I’m pretty sure if I go look up conservation groups involved with these very low populations, cats are one of the main driving factors.

The study you linked is not even a study, it’s an opinion piece by a cat behavioralist, one of the best in the country of the United Kingdom, but still a cat behavioralist. And the arguments he puts out to debunk this line of thinking are flawed and have in fact been responded to by the greater conservation community.

Here is the response: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10530-018-1796-y

But tldr: Cats do in fact decimate the local population of animals for a variety of reasons, Like the island effect created in wildlife areas in urban settings and the fact that it’s a human supported predator population that will not drop even when prey is made more scarce.

Let’s not be obtuse, I was simply using one tool as an example. There’s a lot more, and there’s a lot of other reasons why Python is critical as a component of a Linux system.

Let’s just start with systemD. Did you know that systemD requires Python to build? GTK4 has the same requirement.

Systems that have replaced the Python component often use a different language like Lua in their place, like alpine Linux.

Python is literally the glue that people use to bind all of your C programs together because it can be done quickly, easily, and efficiently unlike C and C++.

You literally cannot use a modern Linux system without Python. It’s just straight up not possible Unless you’re using something that is specifically stripped and built for the removal of Python. It is assumed for a ton of packages and scripts, including major component tools like Ansible, which are critical in the commercial environment.

Sure, I think we can just ignore the fact that the Red Hat Core package manager was driven by Python for almost 20 plus years and only recently, as of two years ago, switched to C++.

You are correct at seeing C as a backbone, but most tools, especially early tools were written in a language like Python. Its easy to prototype and adopt.

I guarantee you if I go through a list of system tools that every Linux distro is dependent on, including something like a package manager, which the linux os is absolutely dependent on You would be genuinely surprised by the amount of tools written in a language like Python or Ruby.

Also, a package manager is not core to a Linux distribution, Really? That seems like stretch.

Yes, you can compile everything from source. Very few people do.

I mean, the company never cared about you in the first place. That’s why these things happen. It’s foolish to pretend they did.

The best thing to do is to find a new position at a place that’s going to do the same thing and know that you’re going to have to do the same thing in a couple of years.

Such is life and the cycle of companies.

Did you not know that several package managers like DNF/yum are written in python? There’s a ton of tools like that for each os and a lot of the time Python is the tool of choice.

I hope she gets their asses.

This is all being caused by a single student in the school.

Fucking Zionists running ruining everything.

This is just a classic case of bad use of the tools provided. Agents are notorious for making shit up Or getting something that’s just like super close, but not quite accurate.

I bet this dude also probably just uses the same session over and over and over and over again, which clogs up his context window and makes the model less accurate the longer it goes on to.

This probably could have been prevented if it had been forced to show a plan before it tried to do anything. It’s hard to know because the article is so light on details. You also shouldn’t brazenly trust the thing so much. You should run a command and walk away. You should keep an eye on what it is doing.

It’s a bit like giving a junior developer a production key and being like “don’t delete production!” and then walking away.

The way the guy was prompting this agent also leaves a lot to be desired. It’s trained to work on emulating human thoughts, speech patterns. Turns out When giving instructions, it’s really difficult to figure out what to do from a list of things to not do. If the dude just instead told the agent what to do and how he wanted it to work and when it needed to bring things to his attention, instead of telling it to not guess, instead explaining that it needed to use whatever tools to go look up a documentation to understand the context and scope of the project it’s working on It does a better job.

Giving a model the right context to do something is the difference between a model doing something like deleting your production database or your model acting like a magical machine that can get anything done.

A lot of people are using AI chatbots to find information and products, and if you’re not getting your website pushed into the chatbot Then you’re missing that entire contingent of people to sell to. This isn’t really for small content creators. It’s more for big businesses trying to figure out how to sell to the maximum amount of people they can.

Rotating strategy of villains strikes again.

They only do this to try and placate the masses They’re trying to make it seem like they are doing something instead of The complacency they’re actually doing.

Those are excellent use cases for AI, but it is also not a magic bullet. It cannot do everything for you, and often it can leave you a strike, especially if you’re not willing to fact check it. It’s a well-known fact that LLMs hallucinate, or straight up lie to you about what they know. So in many niche cases, which is what I am doing and what we hire this guy to do, it’s often not effective. Just as often as it gives a silver bullet, it is often effectively wrong.

I have seen this dude use code and use AI to say things that are absolutely not true, like claiming setting a very high UID can resize a Docker image to an an absurd level nearing 500 gigabytes.

He also tried to use it to lecture me on how the auditors don’t audit our company correctly and how we’re actually doing things completely wrong and that he’s the guy to fix it all and that’ll take him just a little bit to train everybody up to shape.

LLM tools are excellent when treated with respect and the limitations of the tool is understood but unfortunately, far too many people believe it is a magic talking box that always knows everything and always has the right solution. 😮‍💨

I mean, this joker is so ridiculous that he can’t even figure out how to use the AWS CLI correctly or how to setup “deploy” repo github keys. We asked him if he was comfortable working with puppet, or at least capable of figuring it out, and he looked like we asked him to touch a hot stove. Did I mention this joker has 15 years of experience doing stuff like this?

When I was looking at his code, it reeks of AI with anti-patterns I normally only see by strictly generated llm code.

If you’ve ever seen what AI tries to do when you ask it to code for you, you would understand why it’s declining.

We just hired this new guy who uses AI for everything and often leads him astray and into arguments that he is definitely not prepared for.

I can tell you from personal experience there are still times where you have to run an unsigned application even in a closed IT space like the use case of Chromebooks.

No unsigned apps is gonna be a really hard sell, even Mac OS computers aren’t that locked down.

Didn’t they just announce a program where they won’t let you install any additional apps that aren’t certified by their developer program?

Who on Earth is going to buy an Android computer where you can’t deploy/develop applications unless it’s either an app built by a certified developer or the user of the device becomes a certified developer.

Yes. I found them attractive and enjoyed their personality. I don’t care about the genitals they have.

Well, I’d rather, they not get punished for not participating in the genocide.

We all want retribution, but what Israel is going to do to these soldiers is not retribution.

They won’t push the Fediverse because it can’t be monitized. That’s why these “techocrats” constantly push for the AT protocol. Its all just a way to squeeze money
