It's typically the name for the front of computer programming that is 'doing human type stuff'. Once it's not on the front and the wave has passed, the AI name moves on.

This is great when everyone is smart, aligned in the purpose, has no politics, dog in the fight, but awful everywhere else.

It's the difference between peer review by leaders in the field trying to make your paper better, and juniors wanting to be heard or insecure academics trying to get an ego boost by nit picking and wasting time.

Intellectual bloodbath sounds like so much of the latter with point scoring being the goal.

I use jellyfin server on my NAS with wireguard + symfonium (android client) on my phone for streaming, but I mostly stream out of the house on my phone.

I have multiple syncthings between phone and home nas:

- Photos (immich on server/mobile). I use master on phone, so immich don't delete on phone, and then rotate my folders out of syncthing directory and then clean my on device camera photo every few months

- Notes: (Obsidian on server/mobile). flawless

- SyncFolder: random folder to move between the two.

They are not the fall guys. They are at the buffet with the biggest plates, and when the buffet ends, they'll have the most food on their plates.

It's more frustrating because my partner's pixel 4A cannot use google pay or the bank apps because it is an invalid os - I am guessing due to lack of updates? So, perfectly fine hardware, but crippled in functionality due to the lack of software updates.

I tried to opposite because claude was not coding as well as codex some additional modules for my codebase and codex could. Then I tried to get claude to read and critique and it got so many fundamentals wrong I was wondering if I am using the wrong model.

Which copilot?

github copilot? bing copilot? office365 copilot? office365 copilot chat? windows copilot? or one of those clippy like copilots in dev environments that can't do anything but point you to the wrong documentation?

I hear you. It's so prevalent now it is tiring. And LLMs has given them the last delusion that they are now also 'technical'.

I have bought three for all my relatives since 2015, and finally bought one for myself. They are still in stock and sold by local brick and mortar retailers as well as online!

I use the n100 for jellyfin, and shield for streaming and controller with jellyfin client.
