@chris @distractal @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven i dont think you know what those words mean
and if your solveing depression with AI well thats depressing and sounds like how people talk about alcohol
@glassresistor @distractal @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven I must not know what any of that means, or I wouldn't have said it. You remind me of my brother, who compared my computer use with his gambling addiction. I'm sure those things are the same thing.

@glassresistor @distractal @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven Is it not cognitive surrender if I want to turn my brain off on a regular basis? This thread is making me want to do that right now. I can do the next best thing and go play video games instead.

@chris @distractal @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven could you define cognitive surrender?

Revert to 3.4.1 and it works.
So I go look at the source in GitHub to see what might have changed, because there doesn't seem to be anything relevant in the changelog.
Since 3.4.1, 36 commits by "tridge and claude"
Oh for fuck's sakes.
@JeremiahFieldhaven Even rsync... Software is over

Also git, indirectly. For those who do not know, look it up.
Tridge is a legend, and our legends are falling to a cognitive virus.

Commit privileges aren't based on bloodline, or history, Etc. When Grandpa tells you the gophers in the back yard are advising him on what to invest his life savings in, you have a gentle conversation with him and move him into a place where he cannot harm himself or others.
We need to hold people updating the code to a standard. You can't get 'fired' in open source, and that's a weakness as folks age out.
-
@distractal @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven Though I'm not sure how much the 10-ish % "efficiency gain" is when I can ask an agent to solve a problem for me in 5-15 minutes, or I can spend literally hours poring over a code base to understand what I need to do to fix it myself.
@chris Your understanding of the code base was lacking, so you spent 5-15 minutes making it worse. Is that really the way to go?

@chris @distractal @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven curious how close to addiction itll feel like at 10x the cost
and my dude outside of $ loss if your gaming like an addict its an addiction

@mirabilos @mavu @cap_ybarra @JeremiahFieldhaven There is also github.com/gokrazy/rsync which i haven't tested yet.
@billchenchina
https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware#file-transferring lists the following rsync alternative as LLM free: https://github.com/kristapsdz/openrsync
@mirabilos @mavu @cap_ybarra @JeremiahFieldhaven -
@chris @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven Here's my question... is it really, solving the problem for you? Like, actually? Given all of the costs in the full context of how it operates?
I don't believe that it is.
Can you trust everything it outputs? Are you able to catch any problems with it 100% of the time? Are you somehow able to avoid it anchoring your thinking around a particular method?
Let's assume it does solve the problem, and that somehow a purely ethical AI is produced that magically solves the labor, environment, plagiarism issues, and that is correct 100% of the time.
Even if it does, you are slowly eroding your ability to solve problems of that nature independent of the agent.
No matter how careful you are, no matter how smart, how skilled, how well-versed.
You cannot beat cognitive surrender.
@distractal @chris @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven
I am sharing a critical view regarding 'cognitive surrender', yet a reality check on expectations:"... a purely ethical AI is produced that magically solves the labor, environment, plagiarism issues, and that is correct 100% of the time."
=> does code written by humans fulfill all these criteria, I mean even approximately?

@JeremiahFieldhaven That really sucks. I pretty much just install whatever updates #Debian sends me, might have to start watching that much more closely. #rsync

@JeremiahFieldhaven ...and fork and fork and fork and fork... At work I just don't build recent versions anymore. Which is fine because we just use it for LAN installs anyway. But yes, all this stuff needs forking, sadly. Once the current maintainers of important projects leave reality for good, that seems like the only way forward.

I'd chime in here and say that good people suffer from substance abuse. Living in Las Vegas and watching the penny pinchers succumb to a big payout from a slot machine was both fascinating and very sad. AI gives a programmer the illusion that they are now the power code maker they always envisioned themselves to be. That isn't much different than cocaine. We're losing good people to this.
