drive fast and take chances!

It's not evidence, but anecdotally i have two clients who have been working fully agentic for a good 6 months and they're smashing it. Even looking at it critically they haven't been able to find any obvious negative impact on code quality, product stability or performance or security.

I think the secret sauce is that they weren't born with AI, they just integrated it into technical cultures that were already solid. In this context it does speed things up a bunch. Not a 100x multiplier or whatever dumb stuff they're pushing on Twitter, but you do get high velocity without burning out your team or sacrificing quality.

And those 2 companies i just happen to know but they're nothing special. You take any boring software company from Paris or Berlin and i'm pretty sure you'll get the evidence you seek.

You think therapists and doctors in general don't use Docs or Notes services that are hosted or backed up in the cloud ? You think having your medical data leaked to tech companies is new ? Just because the notes transcription app is AI doesn't make it magically worse. In fact it makes the data harder to access as you need to re-infer the whole enchilada if you want to mine it (as opposed to, say, Google Drive who can just make a SQL query on your data and get it structured and ready to use).

It's nice that mental health is so inconsequential to you that you can balance it against privacy purity politics. It's really cool for you that you're in this position of privilege. It's not cool to be pushing on someone with a clinical condition in a way that will probably get them worse off, in a country with absolutely no mental health safety net. Just like antivax it's coated in fake concern, but you're playing a dangerous game with someone else's life and you're cool with it because you're insulated from the consequences.

You guys really are a pure product of those amoral hyper-individualistic times.

By god they're going to make OP change doctors just because they hate "le stochastic parrot". And op is probably in the US which makes the whole thing even crueller.

Literally a horde of teenagers playing with a bipolar's head because they have big feelings about stuff.

And all this for a fucking note taking app Jesus Christ. Yeah sure OP is probably risking their mental health in the process but who gives a shit about that when you have an occasion to proclaim that le AI bad.

Having forgotten stashes is the sign of a true data hoarder

you know you have the option to just exchange ideas with other humans right ? fucking half cocked pseudo intellectual reaching for insults at the first 3 syllable word. what a bore.

you think religion represents 90% of the intellectual discourse?

No, i'm saying 90% of intellectual discourse is at least influenced by religion because it comes from people who are religious. Atheism being significant is a very modern phenomenon so if you're going to study anything in history, philosophy, art or science, it's gonna be full of religious people acting out their religious beliefs.

Even today something like 4 out of 5 people are religious, and most atheists are influenced by that common culture in some way. Dismissing the whole cultural reservoir as fairy tale is a terrible footgun, it can only make everything confusing. Everybody else is pulling from it and you refuse to even acknowledge it, that's not gonna work.

You're going to read poetry but it will make no sense and the climax won't land because you can't empathize with the religious sentiment. You're going to read greek philosophy but it will feel drawn out and theoretical because you can't empathize with the religious imperatives of the author. And i say this as a strict agnostic, i'm really not the kind of guy you'll find in a church. But you can't get to the meat of most intellectual discourse if you dismiss religion, just like you can't get to the meat of most physics if you dismiss math.

Yeah it's pretty sad to see comments such as this. It's a terribly unpoetic way to live life, cutting themselves off from 90% of the intellectual discourse produced during humanity's history :(

But this is just speculation. The fact is, systemd introduced a new optional field in the local database. They don't publish an OS so they have no obligation to do anything more, actual implementation would have to happen in other projects.

What this is, is a spite-fork by some random AI researcher and anybody installing that on their system has way larger problems here and now than hypothetical ID verification in the maybe future.

It's saying that you can invent an infinite number of hypothetical futures but they are not useful for making decisions in the here and now

The significance of Jesus is the movement he spawned. I'm not talking about the Catholic church as it was codified by the Romans a few centuries after his death, but about the movement of Jesus which spread far and wide directly after he died. This movement flourished not by the blade and the authority of oppressive regimes, but because it simply spoke deeply to people, especially the poor and disenfranchised. This kind of thing only happened a handful of times during history.

He was important because he created a blueprint for resistance of the oppressed, in a time where such resistance was a very hard sell because it went so contrary to the norms and cultures.

I think a good pointer when you want to approach religion from a sane perspective is to treat it as primitive tech. For example, modern people know that you need to separate science from politics from law from history from psychology etc... and have a different system for each. But pre-modern people didn't necessarily know that, so religious doctrine had to serve several, sometimes incompatible purposes. You look at it and it's like a shovel that has a hammer on it and part of the hammer can be used as a screwdriver. It makes no sense but at the same time it kinda does and it sure has dug a lot of holes and tightened a lot of screws over millennia.
