The trouble, as I see it, is that we still have to look at the code before we run it. Even if it is a one-shot script. And it's just because you never know if there isn't some "rm -rf ${undefined_variable}/" lurking…
I think it matters, because nowadays we don't look at assembly any more. I mean, I don't recall the last time I was tracking down a compiler bug but it's definitely been more than 15 years ago. We do have to look at the…
Back in the day, the argument was that compilers produce unreadable assembly, so people used to writing assembly were arguing against the use of compilers. Compilers also had bugs, so we still had to debug the assembly…
This assumes that there is excess power at some point. This will soon become unrealistic: we either need power for data centers during the day or charging vehicles during the night. The solution works only to keep a…
Not the OP but I guess the statement implied cultural and lingual unification which implies erasure of other cultures and languages. We do have to work on being understood across the cultural and lingual division but…
I don't really understand what you mean... are you saying that the entire industry is parroting a fantasy that they all know is fake. So, everyone is faking to get more funds? Unfortunately, I don't think that's true.
It seems our experiences are different. Back then, when working with SVN, we had sites in various countries, with under provisioned VPNs between them. Loading up a single file history could take 15 minutes. I am not…
What I don't understand is, why not replace middle management, marketing, CTOs, CEOs and the like. Surely, LLMs are better at producing high quality looking slideware and vaporware than they are at producing software.…
Not exactly decentralization but distribution was the main selling point. In comparison to SVN and other non-DVCs git did not need to continuously talk to the central server for history, "branch" creations,…
I agree with your criticism of "the good enough" and "done with taste" dichotomy. I would like to comment on this, though: > that only want simple, that finding the most blunt approach is the only way. It has felt…
The future is Borg.
Well, yes. You can't just not show up for work and call in sick. Within the same day you have to call your doctor and explain the symptoms and they have to start the paperwork for the sick leave. Even if it is for a…
The sick leave has to go through the healthcare system. That said, there are doctors that would just blindly approve, but it's not exactly a norm. A lot of those sick days are also childcare.
Possibly, although I have to say that I get PRs now where it's clear it's a miss by the LLM and was generated by a human who did not take the time to understand the subject matter. In the past, a human producing…
If it happened just once, yes.
How is 5m easy to achieve? Asking for a friend.
This story is so silly it must be true. Thank you, made me laugh out loud.
The weather is an example of a non-linear dynamic system. Try as we might, we still cannot predict it really even a few days in advance. The stock market is much worse, even, so, no, it cannot be predicted.
Nah, let's just put a big sign "Kilroy was here", so they don't bother with the "mostly harmless" planet.
Not the OP but I guess what they are saying is that since this language is a subset of go and if you use it as such then an arena allocator cannot be used in the transliterated code. Maybe it's possible to force the…
Indeed, but I guess OP is saying that the panics are not supported in this language.
Heh, I like the analogy but my question was really why it was considered such a hassle. I mean we deal with daylight saving time all the time and I know it's not the same because the leap second affects UTC, not just…
So, it's solving a real problem, why are we dropping it? I mean, why does everybody agree it's a bad solution?
I agree, I don't like it either. But... how would they then implement a world where you can wander everywhere? What it brings to the table is that you can wander across the world and not become terribly outmatched as…
Thank you for the link. Chess is very much also a psychological game and that he resorts to such low blows is really petty.
