The Chinese think in terms of 1000-year dynasties, not 6 month short term profits.

USA has no chance of remaining competitive if they keep up their current strategy. Chinese chips are well on their way to surpassing American ones over the next 10-20 years

    Nope, there are dozens of us. Dozens!

    I've been using Fedora for a long time because it's actually up to date and tends to have the best of what the open source community has to offer, while still having some opinionated defaults to make things run smoothly.

    Never had a problem with WIFI drivers. NVIDIA on Wayland however... (not Fedora's fault the proprietary drivers are garbage, its done what it can by at least making them easy to install)

    Writing code is the reward for doing the thinking. If the LLM does it then software engineering is no fun.

    It's like painting - once you've finally finished the prep, which is 90% of the effort, actually getting to paint is the reward

    I was finally at a job where I could use Linux at work. Things were great for about a year and then BOOM we get acquired and the new company forces MacBooks on everyone.

    I. Friggin. Hate. MacOS. The biggest pain point is the keyboard shortcuts, 15 years of Linux muscle memory...

    My point is I can very much relate to having to use unproductive shit for work and the daily reminder of why it's not on my personal devices

    +1000. one of my coworkers keeps thinking he's saving time with AI-generated code but what he's really doing is pushing the thinking downstream when we have to pick apart the absolute garbage that gets generated.

    PR feedback gets turned into AI prompts and the cycle continues. It's exhausting

    Im quite surprised by this, isn't Parliament a crown/british concept? And Te Pati Maori are usually quite opposed to Crown concepts.

    Regardless, I think as much hate as ACT gets for this - it seems obvious that clarity on the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi is required so that every New Zealander knows where they stand (legally speaking) and we can move on as a country.

    The different interpretations from different groups are distracting from the real issues because the solution gets muddied.

    Should we establish group-specific organisations that all do the same thing, just for different segments of society - or should we pour our energy and resources into making organisations work for all New Zealanders?
