  • I used to use Alpine containers but I’ve since standardize on Debian completely. Proxmox is Debian, my VMs run Debian, my LXCs run Debian, my VPSs run Debian, Raspian on my RPi is Debian, Armbian on my Odroid is Debian, etc, etc.

    The benefit of running the same distribution on all my servers no matter where or how they’re hosted can’t be overstated.

    Less mental overhead remembering different commands or config paths, same software on everything, etc. It’s been fantastic and Debian has always been rock solid for me.











  • Dude same. Normal autocomplete is short and has a low mental overhead but high payoff in time saving from tying. I lasted about 20 min testing copilot before canceling my trial. It slowed me down so much because as you said it generates such large snippets and you have to scan each one to see if it’s useful. Also the constantly flickering of big code blocks changing was super distracting.

    I’ve used GPT4 directly for code stuff before and it’s been useful for certain use cases but I find Copilot to be worse than useless in that it not only didn’t really help me it slowed me down and distracted me so much it was a detriment to my coding process.

    Maybe Copilot X will change that since it’s basically embedded GPT4 I think, but regular Copilot? Totally worthless IMO


  • How do you feel about the self driving car use-case? Say for example a self driving car has a 0.5% risk of an accident, and thus human harm, in it’s usage lifetime, but a human driver has a 5% risk of an accident (making numbers up for the sake of argument but let’s say the self driving car has a 0.1% chance of harm or greater but it’s still much lower than a human). Would you still be against the tech and ven though if we disallowed it there would statistically be more harm caused?
