Based KDE, per usual
I would 100% rescue 30 pcs... If I had the opportunity
lol 30 hectares of woodland... thats about 300,000 mΒ², or 42 NHL sized ice rinks
Yeah and planting 30 trees take about an hour. Smhmh.
Is that ice rink regulation? I get 91 (if you don't worry about packing the round corners).
i love that you saw that and was like "hmm, better check that maths"
I believe so, I calculated the area of the NHL rinks using lots of popsicle sticks, a flashlight (cause the lights were off), and a broom. In hindsight maybe I should have included a calculator but I ain't no nerd! /s
Either way, that's a lot of land to cover.
What is this, Canada? We measure things by football field around here dagnabbit

KDE is the best DE
KDE's mascot is such a cute design
i like software mascots in general.

Cleaning up the world and roasting AI datacenters in the same post is peak KDE energy. Honestly, respect.
Sadly, it seems like they're going to be pro AI internally: https://discuss.kde.org/t/sorry-to-bring-up-a-contentious-topic-kde-ai-llm-policy/46333 (If you jump in to comment, please try to be constructive rather than full of rage.)
There are appropriate and legitimate use cases for AI, especially when locally hosted. Tech/programming is one of the few. The problem is when its shoved in everyones face for everything and all the data goes to tech conglomerates
Some of us respectfully disagree with LLMs for programming being "appropriate and legitimate", at least if that involves generating code and not just locating bugs.
Local LLMs retain significant issues like the one shown in this clip: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/38072#issuecomment-4105681567 Unless your model uses 100% properly licensed training data which no code LLM I have found appears to be doing.
Locating bugs is one of the most important tasks in programming, and if devs can't do that, not are willing to learn to do so, they are fucked.
There's no other way of saying it. Can't wait for the AI bubble to pop.
LLMs can sometimes point out potential trouble spots, which is also one of the uses that doesn't necessarily inject problematic code (if the LLM is prevented from suggesting a fix). But sadly, that doesn't seem the type of use KDE is currently limiting themselves to.
You are using current AI as your baseline. There will come a point where writing code will mean there being zero bugs or vulnerabilities. Humans cannot do that. AI will, whether we want it or not, one day be able to. Idk if we are talk 10 years or 40 years, but it will happen.
LOL at that.
LLMs need to disappear before that happens.
In order to not have any bugs, and for anything to produce perfect software, you need to define perfect business rules, and if managers could do that, they wouldn't have needed developers for decades.
If we have AI that can produce the perfect code, you won't have access to it. Why giving everyone something so powerful when now you can circle around everyone easily?
If we have AI that can produce the perfect code, you wonβt have access to it.
If one company can make it, then other will make it too. Someone will be the first, but others will follow behind. It is too critical for each countries national security to not research it themselves, let alone the profit the companies can make. It will definitely be longer before someone like me will get access, and even longer before it is cost effective, but it will eventually happen.
In order to not have any bugs
I should have been clearer. I meant exploitable vulnerabilities in the software. "Bugs" and "features" can have an overlap, but that's not what I meant. The only attack surface left would be the human one, which would still be a massive vulnerability like it currently is.
That's not how anything works.
You are assuming a god-like coder entity which can consider everything, and that's a whole new problem which we can't solve right now.
And if it's a national security, it won't be shared with others, so if one country stumbles upon it, others won't know how.

Damm, that is a long thread, I spent like 25 minutes reading it and only got half way through it

All those years of roasting made them unstoppable, goddamn
Roasting? What did i miss?
In the early 2000s KDE was pretty slow for lower resource machines, ram usage iirc. XFCE was popular because it was lightweight.
Made me lol, really. The innocuousness of that bullet point
I don't have the space to plant 30 trees unless it's in the form of a hedge, but hey, I could plant 30 of some other perennials. Been considering lilacs. Grew up with them around some of the places I'd visit and I can't get the smell out of my head, even if it's just for 2 weeks a summer. Though I guess I could see if I can get a variety of different cultivars that would flower at different times
Do you happen to live in North America? If so I'd highly recommend checking out the Xerces society plant lists for recommended species that support local pollinators. The plant lists include timing info for suggestions on what would bloom the rest of the year, because as you mention lilacs are fairly short bloomers (might I recommend my namesake, the humble fireweed, which is a late summer bloomer?)
Northeastern Europe actually. I'm sure there's a list I can find with timing info for my country, but Google was kinda useless. I found a bunch of articles telling me I should be planting clover, but that already naturally grows in my lawn lol
