I think the trick is that evil capitalism sells it to you as something you'd actually want. Or a lot of people want. Meanwhile evil communism kinda forces it onto people more directly.

Store all of your private data on some storage devices sitting anywhere in the world and let people manage it you do not know and can not be sure they're not accessing it?
That's the convenience of the cloud!

Let some weirdos obsess over your social life, connections, and what you ate for breakfast to sell that data and show you stuff that manipulates you to do their bidding?
That's the advantage of staying in touch with friends and family over social networks!

Carry a device with you that tracks your whereabouts and monitors each and every interaction you have with it? That's smartphones for you. But hey, at least you can find your way to the next McDonalds thanks to the navigation and map apps.

And this was "just" the technological aspect of things.

Maybe he got anxiety issues and talking to ChatGPT was helping?

Not saying that it's good. But given that there is a lack of sufficient alternatives, I wouldn't hold that against him.

A handheld and highly integrated device where games released for are basically guaranteed to run still has some appeal over the wide sea of PC s. Especially since the share of handheld PCs like the Steam Deck is still comparably small.

I'd also argue that one can get more customers by supporting PC due to those who wouldn't buy a console anyway. It sounds reasonable though that the incentive for buying a console is gone if you already have a sufficient PC where you can play the game on.

But I wonder whether this is really the case. Do we have actual numbers from market studies or alike on this?

Wenn ich eines gemerkt habe, dann, dass das ein extrem willkürlicher und subjektiver Prozess ist. Es kommt drauf an, wen du da hast, der deine Bewerbung liest.

Ich denke, das wichtigste ist, zumindest alles ordentlich, sauber und übersichtlich aufzuschreiben. Das lässt sich wohl als gemeinsamer Nenner festhalten.

Alles darüber hinaus hängt davon ab, ob der oder die HR-Verantwortliche mit dem richtigen Bein aufgestanden ist.

Wie sucht man sich einen neuen Job, ohne dabei den Verstand zu verlieren?

Teile es dir ein und übernimm dich nicht. Wenn es dir zu viel wird, nimm etwas Abstand und Pause. Dann, wenn du wieder etwas Akku adafür geladen hast, mach weiter.

Wenn ich einen neuen Job finde, der mir besser gefällt, sage ich meinem alten Arbeitgeber dann trotzdem nichts, bis mein neuer Vertrag unterschrieben ist? Kümmert sich der neue Arbeitgeber um den Papierkram mit dem alten?

Du musst dich an die Kündigungsfristen halten. Der neue Job darf nicht beginnen, während du noch beim aktuellen bist. Spätestens rechtzeitig vor dem letztmöglichen Tag der Kündigungsfrist musst du deinen Arbeitgeber also über deine Kündigung informieren.

Es gibt Ausnahmen, z.B. wenn es als Zweitbeschäftigung gilt. Das muss von deinem Hauptarbeitgeber in der Regel aber genehmigt werden.

Der neue AG kümmert sich da idR nicht um Papierkram mit dem alten AG. Aber die Anmeldungen wegen Sozialversicherung usw. macht der neue AG schon.

In a nutshell he says that Linux is a technology project, where technology comes first. If LLMs help to improve the technology then it's fair game. If not, then of course not.

He also says something about Linux not being a place for 'social warriors', which is kind of ironic, given that Linux is basically a big 'fuck you' against corporations and closed source, i.e., a scoial statement. Given how much beef he famously had with Nvidia, this is somewhat unexpected.

But I interpret it as coming from a place of seeing LLMs really just as a new tool and nothing more. In an interview a couple of years back, Linus also said pretty much that. He grew up with basic tools, had to create new software tools to make him more productive and improve the quality of his work. He saw LLMs just as another tool that can aid in development. I suppose this hasn't changed.

Given, that most people usually don't program in assembler anymore, but use high level programming languages like C++, which simplifies the process of coding enormously, or even scripting languages like Python, which present another level of abstraction and simplification, LLMs do appear somewhat like a next step in this evolution.
Issue is, you have deterministic and formal guarantees in programming languages, whereas LLMs do not. This is by far not the only issue of course, as others in this thread have also noted.

I wonder whether he uses LLMs in his daily work. Might change his perspective a bit.
