Personally I like that it's secure by default.

I'm tired of the hype too. Yes, coding agents are useful but the bubble seems primed to pop. Agents are not profitable enough to justify the billions of investments in data centers and chips.

The fact that 996 is coming to America is an ill omen for worker's rights and, well, society in general IMO.


I disagree, the only real issue with UBI is the amount of inflation it will cause. Germany has something nearly approaching UBI and they are doing fine.


Would Germany's UBI work if there were no jobs at all?


Nobody knows, because we have never before had no jobs for any reason, let alone specifically due to all labour being fully automated.


Would Syncthing fulfill your requirements?


I think it might! Definitely checks enough boxes for me to try out, anyway.

The UI is a little cumbersome for me, personally, but it does seem at least straightforward enough for me to understand what the intentions are.

ETA: Welp, that didn't last long. A service running in the background that exposes an "insecure" url for a browser to then open as the only means for GUI interaction with the app is not a great recommendation for everyday users. It looks like it has all the features, but I'm looking for a user experience. CLIs provide the features. I'd like an app, not a service running a webserver. Shudder the thought of just shoving the front end in an electron app, but even that would be better than this for casual users.


You could create an app that has a tray status icon, that launches a tauri app connected to the same web service (assuming it's only listening on localhost, it's fine).


I think it's a good comment, given that the best agents seem to hallucinate something like 10% on a simple task and more than 70% on complex ones.


Probably something blue collar like electrician, plumbing or auto repair.


I became a union electrician specifically to get away from tech and then found myself spending most of my apprenticeship wiring data centers.

Can't seem to escape from the tech gods.

Unfortunately blue collar labor takes its toll on bodies — probably best-left to hobby grunt work (and not full-time) unless you like back/knee/hip pain =D

I'm currently attempting to transition back into white collar tech (early 40s) but we all know how that's going (in this economy). Fortunately twisting wires together for decades has allowed me to stack enough savings that I'm not in a rush / desperate for re-training/employment.


Nah it's very apt and perfectly encapsulates output that looks plausible but is in fact factually incorrect or made up.


Also just peacocking, being that skid on the forums that took down PlayStation on Christmas will get you cred.


It's funny to think that the C-suite would ever give up their massive compensation packages.


They arent a monolith. They would gladly sacrifice n number of c-suites they dont know, if it increased their networth by 1%.
