That’s not really answer, but ok.

That was a hypothetic example, not my opinion on this post.

There’s nothing “absolutistic” about my “stance”. If you’re rusty using a language, you won’t get better if someone else does the homework for you. Make an effort, make mistakes, write in a way that sounds weird, who cares. But practice. If you only take the easy way out, that’ll be your only option in the future.

Although, like I already said, that’s MY way of thinking about it. If you want to use ai to write your stuff, you do you. It doesn’t negate the fact that, whle it’s not “wrong”, it’s the lazy (or minimum effort) option. Don’t know why it bothers you so much.

First, that’s an awful analogy.

Second, you’re assuming (for some unknown reason) that they “cleaned up” the “translation” using ai. You have literally no idea exactly how they wrote the post. It’s kinda weird to make up a random scenario but ok.

Third, no, it’s not an awful take. You can code something that requires a ton of effort but write awful documentation. One thing does not make the other impossible.

Fourth, I already explained that there have already been studies that concluded that using AI to write stuff for you has a negative impact on your communication skills. This is not an opinion or me being ingrateful or whatever. I was just sharing information.

“Activists”? What are you even talking about?

Regardless, I specifically said that what you did wasn’t wrong or anything likw that. I simply think that it’s going to do you more harm than good in the long run. You’re free to do whatever you want though, obviously.

Another piece of advice. When someone simply shares an opinion, don’t get instantly butthurt over nothing. Otherwise this might as well be reddit.

They said it wasn’t their “first” lanugage. Which leads me to believe that they do speak English. If that’s the case, then they indeed are kind of lazy. There have already been studies in the impact of AI when used for communication and the results are not positive.

This isn’t something I’d personally point out and criticize, just something I wouldn’t do personally. Take the time to express your own ideas in your own words. The long term cost is higher than the short term gains.

True. An “open source” music discovery algorithm would be nice. They could’ve just scraped the metadata for that though.

You don’t need them to release anything. Just download soulseek and search for anything you want.

I’ve literally never been unable to find ogg, flac or mp3s for any album on Soulseek. Why is scraping Spotify even necessary?

Or just use two dns providers. I have duckdns and desec. That latter seems to be a bit faster and has’t had any downtime for me so far.

There are tons and tons of websites where you can create an account with just your email. I wouldn’t expect a third party account to be mandatory. Specially from a product like this one.

Maybe this is a pet peeve but it’s a vpn tool that forces you to log in with an “identity provider”. Yeah, no thanks.

I would hope 16C/32T CPU from 2017 could handle software transcoding

I didn’t say it couldn’t handle it. Just that it was very inefficient.

peak power consumption while playing a movie does not really matter compared to idle power consumption

I mentioned both things. Did you actually read my comments?

I think it’s a point of a interest for any hw running 24/7 but you do you.

Regarding transcoding, are you saying you’re not even doing it? If you are, doing it with your cpu is far more inefficient than using a gpu. But again, different strokes I guess.

Isn’t ryzen not recommended for transcoding? Plus, I’ve read that power efficiency isn’t great. Mostly regarding idle power consumption.

No. You can’t game on it meaning that the games do not even launch.

I don’t think your experience is representative of a generic user. This video from Level1Techs paints a completely different picture. Gaming for example, is pretty much out of the picture in the ARM version of Windows.

Does it? All of the “windows on arm” video I’ve seen say that tons of things are broken.
