  • Not by itself, but if you wanted to put an LLM into a personal assistant, you could teach it specific codewords and have some agent software that integrates with the email client scan its outputs for the codewords and trigger actions when they appear instead of outputting them to the textbox. Conceivably that could be useful, if you wanted to give an LLM the power to react to “Open a new email to Kate and in formal tone accept her invitation to the party she mentioned in her message yesterday” appropriately.

    Now I wouldn’t want that, but I think there may be enough techbros who would, that it could exist.








  • The lede by OP here contains this:

    […] addition to Xcode 16 […] is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple’s claim that 8GB of unified memory was enough for base-model Apple silicon Macs, you won’t be able to use it

    So either RecluseRamble meant that development with a feature like predictive code completion would work on 8 GB of RAM if you were using Linux or his comparison was shit.











  • I’ve never seen any substantial evidence of a distro with outdated packages really being any more reliable than a rolling release.

    I think the fundamental issue here is that you conflate the concepts of reliablility and stability. Those are not the same. Stability in distros is a question of how much they restrict change during support cycles in order to not be a moving target for developers and system integrators. Fundamentally a rolling release can’t be stable. It can absolutely be reliable to use, but you wouldn’t use it as a basis for an embedded system you’re trying to develop.
