Too much of any of those is bad. Four year olds are driven by feeling only. Psychopaths are driven by thought only. You don't want the world in the hands of any of those.
It's a good mix of both feeling and reason that we should strive for.
I have one running almost all the time. Bought it three years ago and it just works.
When I bought it, there was the option to not include a separate Graphics card. Onboard is just fine for me. And that brought down the price considerably.
However, they currently don't have that many AMD options for Laptops, so my next one probably won't be System76.
PopOS never did it for me. Not once did it survive a system upgrade. So I just switched back to Debian.
It's also true that chemo treatment has gotten better over the years. Chemo 20 years ago was much harsher and it's not the same anymore. Advancements in pharmacology.
Yes, Jackson really was a bummer. To this day I can't understand how a project like Springboot advertises Graalvm readiness when Jackson is not supported without tweaks. What do the Springboot devs think we are using Springboot for, Hello World blog posts?
From my understanding, Spring Boot takes care of providing the JSON metadata for many libraries, including Jackson. So in practice, it can be more straightforward to use it in a Spring Boot project.
I't think, it's not packaging. From RPM to DEB to Snap to flatpack there are lots of options. But support I get. KDE, Gnome or whatever choice of window manager, many different distributions etc., that sounds like support hell.
Maybe I am late to recognize that, but with recent developments I get the feeling that AI and machine learning are really getting somewhere now. If it goes forward with the current trajectory, then this could change the world just like radio, television or the internet did.
How so, isn't that exactly what it is doing to an even greater degree? Those who would never have the capability of doing something are now able to do something they only dreamed about.
It is exactly the inverse of previous advancements, in that those already at the top don't get nearly as much benefit as those at the bottom since I will be able to copy your skill no matter how good you are and reproduce it infinitely.
The internet broke down the barriers to content distribution. AI will break down the barriers to content creation.
The future will not be "look I made an AI song that millions of people are listening to!" but will be "AI create and play me a song of my favorite rapper overlaid onto of my favorite techno genre" and you'll just listen to it yourself.
Today, right now, you can have a language model create lyrics to "AI killed the Internet star," a TTS model sing it in the style of The Buggles, and a single channel blind source separation model replace the voice track. Tomorrow, you will just talk to your voice assistant running an action transformer to have it done for you.
Imagine in the future when we will have AI ways of doing things locally on our smartphones, how would this be similar to radio/tv/internet changing everything?
I dont remember a single a Java dying story. It was extremely hyped in the early 00s. There were lots of hate during the very late 00s and early 10s when Ruby on Rails is hyped. But I dont remember anyone saying Java or JVM is dying or dead.
A quick search on HN doesn't show much about Java is Dead. And the only Java is dead story I remember was some opinion pieces of how Oracle will make Java unusable. Which hasn't been the case at all. I count those as Oracle hate article rather than Java is dead.
There were lots of Java is Dead on Desktop. ( And that is certainly true from a consumer standpoint ). But I dont remember a single Java or the JVM ecosystem is dead article.
Comparatively speaking, there are 10 times more Ruby is dead article....
