The criminal was inside a hospital, so police HAD to explode the entire hospital. At least the criminal is dead!

The point of the article is that that was his way to do it. To show that it is possible to save money with AI rewrites.

Then I have learned nothing new.

Since at least November 2022, everyone in the software industry knows that "it is possible to save money with AI rewrites".

I found nothing I don't already know from the article.

The only way this specific article gained attention is with the number in the headline.


What a terrible, terrible name.

Yes, it is a sign of the widening wealth disparity. It's hard to stay moderate when your identity, security and existence is increasingly being threatened.

Have you tried putting your digital photos through a film simulation software such as Dehancer?

I think so, but the results does not appear same. Did you get a chance to read the post I shared in my comment. It explains why this could not give the same results.

Ah, that was a nice post. Thanks.

I agree that most users won't be able to follow Winapps' guide, but "The entire point of an operating system is to make computers usable without knowing how they work" is just false. That is the point of an OS for computer illiterates, not the "entire point of an operating system".

Arguably, the vast majority of users are "computer illiterates", and an OS should cater to the majority. So in a sense, OP has a point.

I'm incredibly skeptical of sub agents and those types of skills. Isn't that basically just "Claude, make me a company, no mistakes and no hallucinations"?

It's always the same base model, what is even the point of writing these specialized role based instructions?


Most of corporate security nowadays involves "endpoint security solutions" installed on all devices, servers and VMs, piping everything into an AI-powered dashboard so we can move fast and break everything.

What if we just rebuild everything from scratch with AI? No more supply chain attacks!

Just use OpenClaw. Oh wait, I think Microslop already did...

Over the last decade or so I've tried to switch to Linux a bunch of times. This will probably be my final attempt.

Almost everything is already working on Linux, I can play all the games I like, there are good open source or free proprietary alternatives for all the software I use. I truly believe we are approaching the year of Linux desktop.


AI is also helping a lot here. I always had a hard time making hibernate and especially suspend-to-hibernate work in Linux. And I have managed linux instances at work so I have the know-how. But you simply can't keep wasting time on every niggle in your system. This time with a few prompts to claude code and it quickly figured out from logs what boot params were wrong that needed fixing. Afterwards it just worked, Happy hibernating me after years on linux!


The sleep and hibernate issues keep plagueing me for close to 20y now. I still deal with them and realize it's still a better experience overall compared to windows

the only two things that would make linux unstoppable would be affinity being first class and having something like fusion360 or solidworks work. there are web based versions of solidworks and another option that escapes me atm that would work but that's the web and it's not the same as native imo. i know there are some opensource projects out there but the ones i've seen have been not as good.


I think AI will help with some of this. We already have an 18-year-old building a Lightroom replacement with Gemini (RapidRAW). We just need to get past the phase of everyone abusing AI and spreading crap all over the place.
