I can’t wait for the day they decide to build a hyperspatial express highway through our star system

that’s bad, we’ll get a pretty bad reputation around the milky way

There’s plenty of busy work that requires some level of “thinking” but it doesn’t add anything to whoever is doing it for the 50th time. You’re the one sounding like an idiot for ignoring this.

Right, like I mentioned, it’s a scale problem and how people feel about generated code. Abandonware have always been the majority of repos, because people don’t have time or interest to maintain most things they create. We just have more things being created now (whether they’re any good/usable or not).

Disagree. Most projects are never “done”. Whether that is defined by the user or by the users, there are nearly always things to work on. Maintainers just lose interest or don’t bother. This is as old as open source and it has nothing to do with LLMs, it’s only aggravated by it.

Hardly an issue with generated code. You could say the same about projects before LLMs were widely used for code generation: “most projects are abandoned within months of release”. The difference now is the scale and how some people feel about it.

That assumes Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron won’t have competition in the next few years, but that’s already not true with the Chinese CXMT and YMTC. And the more they drive the prices up, the highest the reward for a new competitor to get established. They have a few good years (for them) charging these prices, but it won’t last.

well, you’re free to die on that hill I guess

Taking what you give it into context it’s kind of the whole selling point of LLMs. If you get garbage output maybe you’re using it wrong. In the end it’s just a tool, if you can’t use it, that’s on you.

have you seen some human written code before? Someone who knows what they’re doing with AI can definitely generate better code

If I got an AI-written codebase hard to navigate, I’d bill the AI usage it took to clean it up and, on top of it, the hours I have to put to actually do the job. We can definitely use AI to write good code, but it takes the kind of professional criteria that vibe coding lacks in order to do that.

I don’t really care about owning for its own sake, but I know services only get worse for customers over time, so that makes me prefer owning some things.

I probably won’t do it myself, but maybe it works for you

I’m glad I’m not in the bubble of sending and receiving emails to/from robots. But to be fair, if you write emails like people in the epstein circle, maybe this is a good thing.

and that’ll be a lot cleaner. I won’t be ordering my food from things running in open tunnels of big cities, they’ll be smelling of piss within a day

at this point “prism” must be one of the most overused project names, there’s no hope for any seo using that name

yeah, I know of two other tools with that name just from my workplace, both probably suggested by ai

GitHub is good enough to people keep using it. With the exception of the AI-induced downtimes last month, other platforms have as many problems as GH does, but GH gets the bad rep because it’s the one everyone uses and has an opinion about.

Despite old problems that still annoy me, they actually have an impressive and unmatched set of features too, so one can’t move away without some compromise. For the most part, you might find Forgejo/Codeberg and others to meet your needs, but it’s going to take a long time to match GitHub’s maturity in some things like code search.

I know, but the main use i have for github is collaboration, and I don’t want to expose a forgejo instance I’m hosting myself.

I don’t move mine because of the hard limits at 100 repos and 100 MB of private storage. I wouldn’t mind paying to have more, but that’s not an option.

edit: it seems one can request limit increases, but I have no idea what’s their approval criteria.
