I am spending a lot of time trying to migrate from decades of JetBrains IDEs to Emacs. It's not trivial though and it's a good thing I am willing to tinker and explore. I got a dec…

Ooooh awesome thanks!

FWIW I'm using Yosis for my Ice40 Lattice FPGA purely because their Linux support is bad. Getting a free hobby license requires emailing them with MAC addresses (which means I have…

> Thinking more deeply about your words, is it that you enjoy figuring out the instructions to use to solve a problem? In other words, figuring out the algorithm and writing the co…

Yeah and that's totally fair! We are all motivated by different things and being extrinsically motivated isn't a bad thing at all. But being more interested in the problems rather …

I have done a lot of introspection on this and realized that I'm very much driven by intrinsic rewards moreso than extrinsic. I got into coding over a decade before it was my caree…

Fwiw git history can be forged pretty easily. You can re-timestamp commits

Afaict the company doesn't own any of what was written by an LLM. In theory that means all the companies are opening themselves up to code being reused by third party and a lack of…

When you write code by hand, you are the author. As part of your contract with your employer you grant copyright and authorship to your employer by default (as stated in the contra…

This isn't what the copyright means. The employees and contractors are the authors, and because of the contract they sign they assign copyright to the corporation. Corporations, as…

I don't think case law totally supports the idea that working on a line by line basis means you have "no problem claiming copyright". There problem is the LLM is still making assum…

It's in fact the opposite from what I've read. In one of the supreme court cases cited by the copyright office itself in its opinion of AI works ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Com…

Do you think that human directing the agent owns copyright for any legal reason? The case Community for Creative Non Violence Vs Reid ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_for_…

The problem I have with this analysis is it's missing the multi-dimensional aspect of "is this profitable". It's fair to say that if all these operators are competing for tokens, t…

The copyright office is pretty clear on this if you read: https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intell... . There is case law surrounding the fact that just because…

Which actual FPGA is this running on? I've been extremely curious on this space and would love to know what it took to actually get this to run.

This study came up on my feed but I'm not seeing much chatter on it. I'm interested in some perspectives from people who are better at reading if studies are quality or not. > Abst…

Yeah I don't disagree that selling components is going to be hard business in the age of AI. Just mostly pointing out that it was a good business previously.

Telerik, DevExpress, and a lot of other companies have made profitable businesses that have lasted well over a decade on that business premise. Selling solid and easy to integrate …

FWIW I only mentioned staff engineers because the survey found staff+ engineers reported the highest time savings. The survey itself had time savings averages for junior (3.9), Mid…

The latest survey is here apparently: https://getdx.com/report/ai-assisted-engineering-q4-impact-r... . No idea if signing up gives the full survey for free. We get it through our …

Unfortunately I do not. Past survey results are hidden in some presentations I've seen, and the latest survey I have full access due to my company paying for it. So I'm not sure it…
