Too many people downplaying this as a simple business decision from AMDs side but the response here is what really makes this a story.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

I've lived in Japan for 4 years now and it was a bit of a culture shock travelling to Germany where I had to have a different pass/app for the various buses and trains. The U.S.'s public transit buildout is slow but happening, and I worry it's falling into the same trap. I'd like to see a federal bill requiring all private/public transit to use the same universal payment scheme accepted in Japan in order to get federal funding for their projects.

That's not what I said?

What I said the was the line between hobby/production is use of the tools themselves. Doesn't matter if you use them via a terminal, VSCode extension, or an external app.

Line between editor/IDE is the former requires downloading extensions but the latter bundles them in the final application.

ILE? Integrated Language Environment. The former caters to a specific language ecosystem. Text editors are polyglots by contrast.

I'm not going to defend Meta's recent practices but any expectation of privacy when using an employer's device is forfeit. I thought this was basic common sense?

You realize you're making a political statement in and of itself? There's no such thing as enlightened centrism.

It's getting exhausting how x field of experts constantly bemoan the coining of one term or another, rather than provide a decent alternative. It's not very goal-oriented thinking. Just empty complaining.

However, for any app that aims to be an "all-in-one" desktop GUI replacement for the aws console, which may need extensions, a native framework would be the way to go over electron.

One piece of feedback I have is to just have a selection menu for models from providers rather than asking the user to input text, as well as an option for effort level if available.

The logical conclusion then if despite everyone voting D then getting their votes tossed out is either violent revolution or liberation with the aid of another nuclear-armed state.

But understand this:

YES they have a vested interest in harvesting all of your private data for surveillance.

That doesn't mean they DON'T have a vested interest in safeguarding their own data and that of other gov't agencies.

They need the co-operation of the academic community and top cryptography experts to accomplish this. They cannot safeguard their own data or other agencies' data without publishing reports on what works and what doesn't.

So either they risk leaking the encryption algorithms that work for them by hiding them and only sharing the backdoored ones with the public, which is a violation of the [Kerchoff Principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerckhoffs%27s_principle) and a massive risk.

Or they simply cooperate with experts and publish algorithms that work for both them and everyone else.

Which sounds simpler?

We can talk about consciousness when the LLMs have proven useful for all of humanity, not just their billionaire owners.
