<p>Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is probably my second favorite FPS game after Doom 2.  Nothing has ever really hit me since like the nuke scene did.  The set-pieces in Modern Warfare and MW2 are some of the best single-player FPS gaming I’ve ever experienced.<p>RIP Vince</p>

<p>Ultimately, I didn't switch to Linux because I <i>wanted</i> to.  I switched to Linux because Microsoft became so actively hostile to me I felt like I didn't have any other choice.<p>No Microsoft, I'm not buying new hardware just to get the new OS.  No, I'm not going to let you nag me every single day until I get pissed off enough to.  No, I will not tolerate all the little things in your OS that piss me off everyday.  Your software sucks.  Your filesystem sucks.  Your constant nagging sucks.  I don't want your cloud TPM security bullshit and I DEFINITELY don't want Copilot or Recall.<p>Seriously Microsoft: fuck you.<p>Giving up being able to play certain games - which require me to install malware into my computer anyway -  is a small price to pay to have my sanity and freedom back.  I own my computer, not you.  Goodbye and good riddance.<p>I already used MacOS and Linux for work anyway.  But don't worry Apple, you're riding that line pretty dangerously too - you're gonna be next on the chopping block if you don't get your act together.  Framework Desktop is looking like a mighty capable replacement for my Mac Studio.</p>

<p>> Worked examples are step-by-step illustrations of the process required to complete a task or solve a problem.<p>That’s not what having a bot generate your integration is and reading it post-facto is.  The bot isn’t guiding you through the process so you can go do it yourself.  At best you would use this as a reference to go do another integration yourself - but at this point why even bother when you can just get the bot to do it again?<p>The only thing people learn using AI is how to do things with AI.</p>

<p>A browser user agent is a string of text that a web browser sends to a web server to identify itself and provide information about the browser's capabilities, such as its type, version, and the operating system it runs on.<p>This has nothing to do with what an AI “agent” is.</p>

<p>The topic is basically irrelevant.  I could just edit my post to change the two instances of "vector database" to "vector database integration" and nothing else would change about my point.<p>I could change the post to be about learning word-working by watching a robot build a shelf and nothing would change.</p>

<p>Just speaking from personal experience but the struggle is what creates the learning.<p>I learned refactoring patterns from Fowler's book.  But when I tried to actually use them I still struggled.  I didn't fully understand how the patterns worked until I actually tried (and failed) to use them a few times.<p>You don't really internalize things until you understand what <i>doesn't</i> work just as much as what does.  You don't learn nearly as much from success as you do from failure.  I would say the ratio of truly internalized knowledge is much higher for failure.<p>The notion that you can get a bot to just vomit out a vector database and then you can just "read the code" and you'll understand how a vector database works is just ludicrous.</p>
