You seem to be misunderstanding the premise of the statement. Go write, "print 'foo';" and copy and paste that statement one hundred thousand times. Congratulations, you just wrote…

If, by your definition of understanding, you can understand something without knowing how it works, then what would be the point in understanding it? Your argument underscores the …

What if I told you that understanding what it is doing and finding bugs is actually the same problem?

I think you just made some strong arguments for classifying them as gatekeepers. The idea, like you said, is to make it so that competitors can enter the market and pick up the sla…

In other words, for the primary uses of search things have gotten much worse, but some workarounds still exist.

> software was already in a horrible state before AI, so your dichotomy doesn't work. It depends on the software. But, generally speaking, I try to use and write the best software …

I would much rather have software that works but lacks accessibility features than software that's broken but also has some broken accessibility features sprinkled in. The former i…

What makes you say that AI is not going anywhere? I hear this overwhelmingly, "AI is here to stay", as if y'all are so caught up in the movement that you've started taking that con…

Getting people into coding is both cool and also not specific to AI.

Gross .

This isn't a JS specific issue.

"If you travelled back in time, the coastline itself would be unrecognisable to modern eyes. In the Jurassic Period, most of what later became Britain was under the sea, apart from…

It's clear that the article is mostly talking about the reader's ability to interpret figuratively, regardless of the specific reference. However, I'm not even sure it's a biblical…

> if all the water left, it could be dry like a desert too This is just a contextual interpretation thing. It's clear that's not what he means because he says it's muddy, so it mus…

Someone saying they vibe coded a thing is like them saying they were hammered when they wrote it. Maybe they did a great job, but probably not; it's definitely cause for concern.

Unnecessary access isn't a solveable problem. In order to restrict permissions to exactly what a program needs, in general, you'd have to define exactly what a program does. In oth…

My impression was that it's next gen because it's using Rust on WASM as opposed to something that compiles to JavaScript. However, I could be wrong. There's a small semantic differ…

I think that's kind of the point though: AI is the sand, but it's the rocks that hold all of the value; the further you get away from using AI the more real value you obtain. Like,…

IIRC, you can do git branch -D $(git branch) and git will refuse to delete your current branch. Kind of the lazy way. I never work off of master/main, and usually when I need to lo…

This issue exists with the parsed case, too. If you're using a database to store data, then the lifecycle of that data is in question as soon as it's used outside of a transaction.…

I think, more generally, "push effects to the edges" which includes validation effects like reporting errors or crashing the program. If you, hypothetically, kept all of your runti…

> As I understood it the trick was effectively to dump the full public API documentation of one of those services into their agent harness and have it build an imitation of that AP…

Definition one on Merriam Webster is, "To make into a product suitable for use." This is what I thought you meant, because cost of production is what it costs to forego buying some…

If the tool is saving you a large chunk of time, then why does it matter what's happening in another industry? We seem to be losing a really simple thread here: Pay for things beca…

I assumed that they meant "cost of production", since that's what you give to keep your money, so that includes 0->1. But if what they meant is what you said then I'd say that the …
