  • As a lazy admin of my own computer, I agree… for the most part. Running Debian allows you to be super lazy, whereas Arch will punish you for that. One update screwed up my GRUB because I didn’t bother reading the news. Totally my fault, learned my lesson.

    This means that running Arch comes with some responsibilities that a super lazy Debian admin can simply ignore. Just read the announcements before updating and you’re good. Ignore them at your own peril.

    It wasn’t a total disaster though. Just needed to fix my stupid mistake with chroot, and the system was up and running in about half an hour. Debian admins don’t end up with situations like that by being lazy. You would need to be actively trying to break your system to have to pay a price like this.

    Other than that, my system has been running smoothly with hardly any interference on my part. The joy of a rolling release…



  • This is a tricky argument to make. Living under capitalism means you don’t really have much of a choice in the matter. If you could easily choose not to participate, it would become an ethical decision.

    Currently, LLMs don’t really occupy that position, but soon they will. Eventually, choosing not to use an LLM will be like choosing not to use electricity today. You may not like how your electricity was made, but can you realistically choose not to use it? Most people can’t be expected to make such radical decisions based on ethical questions, because doing so would require significant sacrifices. Same with capitalism today.

    Today, you can still choose to avoid LLMs, and it won’t involve massive sacrifices on your part. I wonder how long that still holds true. Regardless, I still approve of your argument, because of the trajectory we’re currently on.



  • If we assume that Claude has free rein, the quality of rsync will fall. Now the real question is: Can we realistically assume that?

    What if there is a human in the loop who has decades of experience, is more than qualified to evaluate the quality of the code, spends time reviewing it, finds stupid nonsense and fixes it. You could either fix it manually or tell Claude to fix it, which results in a few more coding and review iterations until the code is good enough. If the human in the loop is a responsible person, I think it’s fair to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Is that too much to ask? Not every application is developed and maintained by a lazy idiot with the programming skills and attention span of a toddler. There are serious and skilled people out there who use LLMs responsibly.
