Ok, I've had it. Every county seems to be actively trying to create their own distopia this year From now on, no sci-fi until you can pass a reading comprehension test.

I'd argue kernel-based anticheats are one of the areas gaming on Linux excels. Video game developers should not have that level of permissions over consumers' machines, certainly with how little your average gamer understands the potential consequences of these rootkits. So the fact that all of the ones I know of can't be installed under Linux is more than acceptable, it's ideal.

I think Nim is the frontrunner here. Close to Python to write because it is so expressive, close to C speed because it is compiled properly.

it's not a replacement for a human brain, it's an assistant. This is what I think AI and automation is generally good at and should be used for - mitigating unpleasant or repetitive work so that the focus of the user is productivity/creativity. This is what this integration is for - it's not a replacement for a human brain, it's an assistant. As are all LLMs. The context is something we disagree on wholeheartedly. Those funding and fundraising for AI and an enormous subset of those using are not looking to use AI in the way we are talking about. The prior are hoping to use AI to extract value from it at the expense of people who would otherwise need to be paid, or they and claim it can do anything and everything. Those using it, many of them, do not have a sufficient understanding to comprehend the solution. They are basically "vibe coding". Tell the LLM to do something they aren't knowledgeable about, then keep telling it to fix the problems until they don't see problems anymore. Yes, spreadsheet formulas are likely simpler than an app but I know people who use AI for Google Sheets and they rarely test any results, let alone rigorously. Anecdotal, sure, but I don't have enough faith in humanity to presume everyone else is doing something wildly different. Edit: To expand, LLMs specifically, are what I consider to be the worst side of "AI". You can use ML and neural networks to create "AI" (self altering, alien blackbox algorithms) to become proficient in analyzing information and solving problems. LLMs create a situation where the model appears intelligent because it knows how to mimic language... and so now we pretend like it can do whatever people can do.

Thats what the firewall rules do too, don't allow internet connection if there's no vpn connection. Firewall is a system-wide solution that always works, while qbt config relies heavily on the application implementing interface binding properly. Which it doesn't fully btw.
