Or simply the Oscar is an advertisement company for their friends products, and not some competition.

Mika@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Techcrunch reports that AI coding tools have "very negative" gross margins. In other words, they are losing money on every user.English2·22 hours agoIt would be just cheaper to self-host something for the whole company then? Open-source AIs are there and they are very much competitive with proprietary solutions.
Mika@sopuli.xyzto Games@lemmy.world•Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)English2·22 hours agoSpellforce 1
Tap for spoiler
The evil mage, who we hunt the whole game, just escapes from the hero character during the cutscene through the time portal that sends him back, where he understands what he have done, becomes the white mage and summons the hero character (as the game does at the beginning).
Might sound like an interesting plot but I was really annoyed the game ended up without giving me the ability to slap the bastard.
Mika@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you do when homeless folks ask for money?22·2 days agoI just say “sorry”. I mean, inventing reasons don’t do any of us any favors. They know I will not give anything after I say sorry. Does it matter to them, why?
Mika@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains batteryEnglish971·2 days agoTBH despite I don’t like this specific idea, nor use Firefox directly, I do like the usage of local inference vs sending your data to thirdparty to do AI.
They just needed to do it OPT IN, not OPT OUT.
That you, personally, think you are seeing this is great, works for you.
We have a POC group and everyone I’ve spoken that tried the tool reports productivity boost. So it’s either that everyone is under impression they’ve boosted their productivity, while they didn’t, or everyone actually did boost their productivity. And I find the later to be more likely, because there is no reason for these people to lie.
Uh, idk how they got that number. It goes against the observations of literally everyone in the industry, so maybe it’s not the industry that is biased, but the benchmark they did is incorrect?
Like just several sprints before I’ve saved my team by generating proto contracts taking backend repo as a context, as backend was busy with other higher important things to unblock us. No AI here means we would be blocked full stop for the entire sprint. And when backend did generate the contract, it was almost identical, and the diff in contracts allowed to identify the issue in the entities they send.
True, some tasks can be done faster without AI, because you have the context and the amount of code volume is actually fairly low.
But
while the “high developer familiarity with [the] repositories” aided their very human coding efficiency in these tasks.
My brother in Christ, in big enterprise project chances that you have some familiarity with the code, well, they are non-zero, but also not that high.
19% drop in what?
Mika@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Zelenskyy rejects Trump's proposal that Ukraine could swap territories with RussiaEnglish12·2 days agoThis whole USA diplomacy is fucking whack. Lots of confusion on what, why, where.
First, after Witkoff dialog in russia, Trump told European partners that there would be exchange Kherson/Zaporizhzhya (russia moves out) to Donetsk/Luhansk (Ukraine moves out).
Then next day Witkoff says russia is not planning to retreat from anywhere.
Next day, EU leaders demanded a call with Witkoff, where he confirmed the deal is “Ukraine moves out of Donetsk in exchange to ceasefire”.
Fucking clowns.

Like there is a technique where instead of saying “You are professional software dev” you say “You are shitty at code but you try your best” or something.
Yuck. Well then again we sit in Lemmy, and the lead dev is a proud tankiest tankie. Open source do be like that.
Then do care to look for? There are PRs, there is a dev that approves changes. It’s stupid to resist agentic AIs when they boost productivity by a lot.
Mika@sopuli.xyzto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy252·3 days agoYouTubers doing YouTubers thing.
Early 30 here. Mobile phones only started being accessible when I was like in 5th year of school, smartphones, like proper ones, android/ios - that was closer to my university days. Before that we had different phones with good displays but controlled by buttons, you could play games on those too, but lot simpler ones.
What I’m trying to say, your gen is about the first one to experience “smartphone was here always” vibe.

Garda doesn’t even try to arrest any of them when they acting like shit because they are getting released anyway.
Mika@sopuli.xyzto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Discover Hidden Gems: Open-Source Software You Should Know About11·9 days agoBeware that syncthing is a bad backup strategy as it will update to sync the broken file (or even file deletion). I advice to do some other sort of backup. Even a simple shell script that copies selected folders into selected location that you run from time to time is a better one.
Edit1: I’ve looked at my script, I use rsync for that.
Hard, but should definitely be possible. I’m waiting for someone to write a decent roguelike, like imagine the possibilities.
