Eh. To be honest it indeed does not matter much. Scanning your RAM for passwords is much harder than simply reading them off the browsers files. Sure, it is encrypted and the key is not necessarily on your computer, but remember that if the software can decrypt your passwords without you inputting a password or similar, then anything with access to your device can as well.

Don't use your browser's password manager.

Exactly this. On top of being liberticide and hypocritical (alcohol is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous of a drug), it's extremely hard to enforce.

Ban smoking anywhere that is not your home, problem solved

I will trust people using their IT experience as a reason to avoid something, though

He doesn't have to liquidate shit, none of them do. They borrow against their holdings.

To add to your comment, in the past, there has been US bases in France. The US troops were evicted by De Gaulle when he exited France from NATO's Military Command Structure. Some of these old US bases are now used by the french military.

Sign of the times... If it is on everyone's mind, it will infiltrate generic subs like these

Both are to be designed then developed.

I'm not against AI use in software development... But you need to understand what the tools you use actually do.

An LLM is not a dev. It doesn't have the capability to think on a problem and come up with a solution. If you use an LLM as a dev, you are an idiot pressing buttons on a black box you understand nothing about.

An LLM is a predictive tool. So use it as a predictive tool.

  • Boilerplate code? It can do that, yeah. I don't like to use it that way, but it can do that.
  • Implementing a new feature? Maybe, if you're lucky, it has been trained on enough data that it can put something together. But you need to consider its output completely untrustworthy, and therefore it will require so much reviewing that it's just better to write it yourself in the first place.
  • Implementing something that solves a problem not solved before? Just don't. Use your own brain, for fuck's sake. That's what you have been trained on.

The one use of AI, at the moment, that I actually like and actually improves my workflow is JetBrains' full line completion AI. It very often accurately predicts what I want to write when it's boilerplate-ish, and shuts up when I write something original.

Why? I don't at all.

Users are the cons of everything, including Windows and OSX

There is no general hard line, as everyone's hard line differs. Rather than a hard line, the point of no return is likely defined by how many people consider their hard line crossed, and how many act on it.
