  • A handheld and highly integrated device where games released for are basically guaranteed to run still has some appeal over the wide sea of PC s. Especially since the share of handheld PCs like the Steam Deck is still comparably small.

    I’d also argue that one can get more customers by supporting PC due to those who wouldn’t buy a console anyway. It sounds reasonable though that the incentive for buying a console is gone if you already have a sufficient PC where you can play the game on.

    But I wonder whether this is really the case. Do we have actual numbers from market studies or alike on this?


  • Wenn ich eines gemerkt habe, dann, dass das ein extrem willkürlicher und subjektiver Prozess ist. Es kommt drauf an, wen du da hast, der deine Bewerbung liest.

    Ich denke, das wichtigste ist, zumindest alles ordentlich, sauber und übersichtlich aufzuschreiben. Das lässt sich wohl als gemeinsamer Nenner festhalten.

    Alles darüber hinaus hängt davon ab, ob der oder die HR-Verantwortliche mit dem richtigen Bein aufgestanden ist.

    Wie sucht man sich einen neuen Job, ohne dabei den Verstand zu verlieren?

    Teile es dir ein und übernimm dich nicht. Wenn es dir zu viel wird, nimm etwas Abstand und Pause. Dann, wenn du wieder etwas Akku adafür geladen hast, mach weiter.

    Wenn ich einen neuen Job finde, der mir besser gefällt, sage ich meinem alten Arbeitgeber dann trotzdem nichts, bis mein neuer Vertrag unterschrieben ist? Kümmert sich der neue Arbeitgeber um den Papierkram mit dem alten?

    Du musst dich an die Kündigungsfristen halten. Der neue Job darf nicht beginnen, während du noch beim aktuellen bist. Spätestens rechtzeitig vor dem letztmöglichen Tag der Kündigungsfrist musst du deinen Arbeitgeber also über deine Kündigung informieren.

    Es gibt Ausnahmen, z.B. wenn es als Zweitbeschäftigung gilt. Das muss von deinem Hauptarbeitgeber in der Regel aber genehmigt werden.

    Der neue AG kümmert sich da idR nicht um Papierkram mit dem alten AG. Aber die Anmeldungen wegen Sozialversicherung usw. macht der neue AG schon.





  • In a nutshell he says that Linux is a technology project, where technology comes first. If LLMs help to improve the technology then it’s fair game. If not, then of course not.

    He also says something about Linux not being a place for ‘social warriors’, which is kind of ironic, given that Linux is basically a big ‘fuck you’ against corporations and closed source, i.e., a scoial statement. Given how much beef he famously had with Nvidia, this is somewhat unexpected.

    But I interpret it as coming from a place of seeing LLMs really just as a new tool and nothing more. In an interview a couple of years back, Linus also said pretty much that. He grew up with basic tools, had to create new software tools to make him more productive and improve the quality of his work. He saw LLMs just as another tool that can aid in development. I suppose this hasn’t changed.

    Given, that most people usually don’t program in assembler anymore, but use high level programming languages like C++, which simplifies the process of coding enormously, or even scripting languages like Python, which present another level of abstraction and simplification, LLMs do appear somewhat like a next step in this evolution.
    Issue is, you have deterministic and formal guarantees in programming languages, whereas LLMs do not. This is by far not the only issue of course, as others in this thread have also noted.

    I wonder whether he uses LLMs in his daily work. Might change his perspective a bit.














  • you can find the proof for yourself. do a little research on anthropology

    You have made a bold claim. Therefore, it would be beneficial to support it. Otherwise it’s just hot air.

    also see the high prevalence of cheating across romantic relationships

    I suppose there is also a high prevalence of loyal behaviour across romantic relationships. But even if not, you are making to mistakes here imo:

    1. Prevalence of something does not necessarily constitute “natural” behaviour. Depending on the specific numbers of this prevalence and how specifically it is defined. Especially, given that many things in biology are of rather statistical nature.
    2. You are using that as an argument to justify moral behaviour. Even if it were true (which you refused to provide proof for so far), just because something is natural, it is not necessarily “good”. See also: Appeal to nature.
      (Edit: to avoid misconceptions: I am referring to your previous comment where you basically said “duh, ofc they are cheating, it is natural. Also: monogamy is a curse by evil rich people”. I am not saying that anyone implies moral superiority of monogamy over polygamy or the other way around.)

    or maybe you prefer to ignore that because its inconvenient to your position

    No, to the contrary. I am always open for good and factually based arguments. It’s never wrong to correct one’s stance given better information. So, feel invited to share your knowledge.

    just because you personally are fine with your personal monogamous situation doesnt mean that humans are naturally monogamous

    Correct. And my argument was based on rather anectodal evidence. However, given that I find that not only in my relationship, but also in others, suggests that humans are possibly not as easy to shove into a single drawer with regard to monogamy. But I didn’t do the deep dive and do not have the numbers. However, since I do not experience this as a rarity, this provides ground for contradicting your claim.

    hell your partner might not really be ok with it. for all you know they might just be keeping up appearances

    Given that I literally talked with my partner about the possibility of opening up our relationship in case they feel the need to, this would be a really unnecessary and odd thing to do. ;)

    theres plenty of evidence to support that we arent monogamous

    Feel free to share this evidence, I am interested. :)

    but to be honest youre not worth trying to convince

    I wonder whether this is your default reaction to people who challenge your opinions and claims. If you allow, I suggest thinking about that in case you’re looking for civil and constructive discussions.

    maybe you could read up on the history of marriage to see what i mean. monogamous marriage exists primarily to handle the inheritance of wealth, which is something that really only matters to rich people who have something worth inheriting

    Marriage did have that as primary use a long time ago, yes. But times have changed, as have the meanings around marriage. Given how marriage has been more of a rather formal institution back then, this is, imo, only a weak indicator for true monogamy or true polygamy. One could be married and be either of those. As it is the case today as well. Furthermore, nowadays, you also do not need to be married to manage inheritance. So while it has often been the case back then, it isn’t today.

    you still cant have a marriage between more than 2 people, or marry more than one person, let alone more complex arrangements

    According to a brief read of Wikipedia, there are 58 countries where you can have polygamous marriages. Link

    I think it is important to make a distinction here, because it seems you are partly mixing up forms of marriage with the innate individual preference for monogamous or polygamous relationships. But the form of marriage does not necessarily tell about this preference. So just because someone has a monogamous relationship, e.g., in form of a marriage, doesn’t mean they really monogamous. Same thing with polygamy: people can be unhappy in polygamous constellations because they are actually monogamous.

    in most places thats explicitly illegal. so yeah none of us really have a say

    That is true and unfortunate and hopefully we, as humans worldwide, will advance to become more open to the legal status of polygamous relationships. In many places, we’re making progress on that front. Moreover, although you can not legally marry more than one person in most countries, a lot of countries still tolerate polygamous relationships and do not prosecute them.
    But again, we are mixing things here.

    And we haven’t even put a distinction between sexual and romantic preferences into the equation yet.
