All this brings me back to some text I was writing yesterday for my students, on which I’d appreciate any thoughtful feedback:
❝You can let the computer do the typing for you, but never let it do the thinking for you.
This is doubly true in the current era of AI hype. If the AI optimists are correct (the credible ones, anyway), software development will consist of humans critically evaluating, shaping, and correcting the output of LLMs. If the AI skeptics are correct, then the future will bring mountains of AI slop to decode, disentangle, fix, and/or rewrite. Either way, it is •understanding• and •critically evaluating• code — not merely •generating• it — that will be the truly essential ability. Always has been; will be even more so. •That• is what you are learning here.❞

Not a whisper about this on DR's news site so thanks 🙏 @… for sharing the original briefing.
Looking forward to better IT support on our Linux machines now...

randahl@mastodon.social - In Denmark, The Ministry of Digitalization now removes all Microsoft software from ministry computers and switches to open source in a strategy that has been agreed with all five regions of Denmark.
The more Trump threatens Europe, the more US companies will get the Tesla treatment.
I will not be surprised if the Parliament member iPhones are next.

My gut has been uncomfortable since this morning (and for some reason, I woke up at 06:00). This is *not* a good time to drink a coffee.
Someone please stop me from making a coffee.

#Blakes7 Series B, Episode 01 - Redemption
JENNA: Look, we've been on the Liberator for a long time. The computers have never turned against us before. Why now?
AVON: That's what I was trying to find out when you sent for me. There's something else I'd like to try. [Burbles and gargles in two tones from Zen]

Finally! I was able to install #nixOS back on my work computer. What a delight, everything just works and is declarative, customized to my preference. I really love #KDE #plasma6

Series B, Episode 13 - Star One
VILA: Minefield, what minefield?
AVON: Perhaps the intergalactic drive has been developed. Question is, by whom.

@… Enjoy that one more beer. 🍻

@… @… We have avoided hail, but here it's been raining for a week straight with no signs of stopping.
I want seasons back plz.

We saw a friend finish an Iron Man 70.3 (half), and I had a beer in the sun. Turns out my kid loves watching races. It was a very good day.

@… Yeah, I think it’s been doing this for a while! The old xkcd about valid tar commands no longer holds.
