>rust programs are a lot of times faster [...] than C and C++ counterparts Troll post? Or has fanboyism really gone this far?

I agree with you, it doesn't take long to identify the itemized style that LLMs use and it's always incredibly annoying. I would rather read the original thoughts of the engineer, …

I don't know about the cost-of-living reality in the flyover states, but are you sure you're taking into account the 5x multiplier that kids represent for that specific example? I …

This article itself is AI slop, of course this is not surprising coming from a website called "ai-updates.net" which I get the impression that might be entirely vibe coded too. I f…

The worst of all is that people will still argue that, in this day and age, labour has not been completely devalued and that you are wealthier than your grandfather. That kind of s…

I have come across a lot of AI-generated youtube videos lately, most of them about trivialities and clearly aimed at a not very critical audience. A few of them also contained hall…

It certainly doesn't feel like craftsmanship has gained any kind of higher social standing in our time though. The Zeitgeist of the modern times seems to be one of 'try to do the c…

Regular people are somehow preparing themselves for this outcome, have you seen what has become of the fertility rate in most advanced countries?

I'd be interested to know if the same amount of leniency shown here would be applied if we were talking about ads depicting violence against elected politicians.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, right? It seems to be the modus operandi of corporations in general: they commit any kind of infringement they want and then lat…

I'm not sure the customs official knows where you came from (unless they explicitly ask, of course), because in my experience normally you get off the airplane and join a common qu…

The pessimism in the comments here is entirely the reflection of the times we're living in. Technology got weaponized against the average citizen. It has become a synonym for unemp…

It was the same thing with blockchain, who here remembers the peak delusion of IoT + smart contracts replacing human judicial systems and crypto making central banks useless? LLMs …

I understand what you mean but speakers and recording equipment destroyed the economics of paying people to play music a long time ago. It's another way of looking at the problem. …

>They don't have Claude write assembly because there is no training corpus on people making CRUD apps in assembly. I'm disputing this. You can have a training corpus in assembly as…

I'm not a Haskell developer and I hadn't heard of this company "Scarf" before. As much as I respect this guy who tried to work and push an alternative ecosystem, it's hard for me t…

It's been my impression that classic literature is going the same way as painting and other forms of high art. It was certainly a great display of human intellectual prowess and ar…

In my opinion, no jurisdiction in the world would be able to approve AI as an inventor on patent applications. And for a very simple reason: you could easily overwhelm any intellec…

Very interesting insights, thanks for this. Indeed "be a graphics programmer" nowadays sounds like "be an assembly programmer". A kind of time waster for a nerd with too much time …

I was going to comment exactly this. I think they are predicting that free-software projects are in freefall and no longer attract good people. I recall reading a Linus Torvalds in…

>These are not, in fact, physically sub 1 nm, despite the bombastic claims. Why? What's their real size? Not doubting you, just trying to understand and also trying to assess how e…

Technology got weaponized against the average citizen. It has become a synonym for unemployment, enshittification, mass surveillance and social erosion. The whole leadership of the…

Dijkstra passed away in 2002, sometimes I wonder what he would write nowadays given that the world took the opposite direction of everything he deemed as correct in software develo…

He is just being solipsistic and talking to a small circle of wealthy and well-connected Gen Zs that he probably knows in real life or who are part of his acquaintances. Or do you …
