Everything is 100% possible without AI. AI just shifts the effort cost.

It depends on what you enjoy more — building the pieces or putting the pieces together in clever ways.

I'm more on the second group so LLMs let me get to that part faster without having to get bogged on in the "small stuff".

But I do get the people that enjoy the craftsmanship of the finer details instead.


That's terrible...


QEMU has been in development for decades.

I'll take the high level language developed solution that I can use now over a low level language version that would reach feature parity with this 10 years from now.

Speed of development is a feature.


That post complaining about lack of context took longer than typping "immich" into duck duck go and reading the single sentence that pops up at the top describing exactly what immich is. ----------- Immich Immich is a project that lets you back up, organize, and manage your photos and videos on your own server. It is under active development and available under GNU AGPL v3 license.


Because it's not just an "image storage solution". A thumb drive would be an image storage solution. If you're indexing, making geo queries, serving over the network, categorize, transcode video and everything else that's needed to create a google photos competitor, you're going to need the hardware to back it up.


It's all probability, not guarantees.

Leading a healthy lifestyle increases your chances, eating like a pig decreases them.

Looking at the outliers and saying "See?! It's all a lie!" is like looking at a lottery winner and concluding that lottery tickets are a sound investment.


What's interesting is the people who are "unfit" and especially obese seem to fair the worst.

Most of the people I spoke of, drank and smoked a lot, but also active to very active, and exercised regularly even in their 80s. Swimming, walking, playing tennis, yard work, gardening. They all seemed to share these things in common.

Being Obese and sedentary seems to be a dangerous undertaking.


I think you may have hit on something there.

Grandpa gave up cigarettes at age 75 or so. Only made it another ten years.

Could outwork teenage me at age 75.


I honestly don't think people realize how unfit they are, like 90% of people in modern countries do almost no exercise. No resistance training, no weight training, no cardio, just drive to work, sit at a desk, then drive home. For some people who work form home, it must be even worse.

Until you meet someone who is fit, it's hard imagine how unfit a 30 year old can be.

A few years back I did a back country avalanche safety training course. My instructor was 72 years old, anyway we had to skin up a decent size mountain, and here I was in my 30s, actually struggling at times to keep up with him.

I am definitely above average fitness as I do hikes like that regularly, but I work as a programmer and at the time, was doing less cardio than usual, and of course, siting on my ass a lot, but I was witnessing what a lifetime of being outdoors and hiking up mountains in the snow for an occupation did for this guy. It wasn't just the hiking either, the dude could dig his ass off, he has huge forearms and when we got to the peak, dug pits for 10/15 minutes, zero stopping. Again I struggled to keep up with him. Then when it was all over, we had to ski home, which was about 30-40 minutes of descending and traversing. I was pretty gassed at the bottom, he was ready for a beer.

I know that most people my age would struggle, hard, to even keep up with me on that trip, because I've taken people on smaller hikes and seen what happens.

It was stupidly impressive. He is still going strong to this day, probably at 75 now with a girlfriend in her 50s.

Fit people like that are really hard to come by these days.


Including it in the OS is a much bigger support commitment.


Yep. I, for one, am certainly glad that PowerToys are separate and they can be updated/iterated upon more often.


I would say that displacement from a disaster-prone area is a good outcome, yes...


Seems like a pretty easy fix in treating the system that runs the cancer detection algorithm as an hospital machine and not as part of the IT system. It can be an airgapped system that runs just the needed software in a a controlled configuration.

This is not new, lots of mission critical software systems are run like this.
