> Do you have a sense of what shapes this? There are so many people in that orbit whose writing I find both exhausting and suspect. I'm not remotely from that scene, and I only rea…

I am trying to not sound offensive here, but given the question you're asking, I don't think we're going to join up here. I think one of us is missing something fairly fundamental,…

I'm not a mathematician, so I may be talking nonsense. Would it not be equally possible that AI solutions to these problems have, or start revealing new maths, or new techniques. I…

There is no magic to coding, any sort of coding. Humans learn how to do it by learning the rules. A coding agent can learn the rules, easily.

> That may be true for bloom filters or what have you. But the author states the obvious: all recent games are closed-source. So any algorithms or techniques for real-time 3D that …

Put it this way, the agent may well be hallucinating behind the scenes when it is coding for me, but I never see that, because it obviously verifies by compiling and testing the so…

> A proper agentic workflow might do it all automatically. Might?! Every agentic workflow should be doing this automatically for nearly a year now. And yes, I agree with the latter…

I don't think the outcome is what makes things like this potentially illegal. You're not allowed to bribe public officials. You're not going to escape the law by arguing that the b…

Out of interest, do you pay people extremely well to work with you?

Have you tried putting on an audiobook and just settling in to enjoy it as long as you're awake? I concur with a lot of the original advice. I still wake up a lot during the night,…

> The code they write is garbage. This is trolling right?

Father of an autistic child here. If I could "cure" his negative symptoms with medication, I'd choose it in a blink. Caveat being, I would have to see how it impacted the rest of h…

My son is autistic. He massively struggles with life. I weep sometimes after some of his meltdowns, where he says he hates himself and wishes he didn't exist. We do our best, and I…

You're framing it so you can't lose by making the argument seem like a moral choice between "have data centres" or "live in a functional society". That's a fallacy, and it is moral…

These sort of moral grandstanding arguments are annoying.

>We will always need super smart people with largely unadulterated thinking. I don't see how you get to that conclusion. We're just atoms. We evolved over a long time and something…

> I just don’t see how one can say that building things reliably good is easy now when the company providing these tools can’t even do it well. What do you mean? Claude cli is wild…

>You working in some "we replaced MS Access with another high-level language tool"-place is so far off this level of engineering You might have a point buried in your post somewher…

> Definitely not the best argument presented. He isn't presenting an argument. He doesn't have to, and it would be fruitless to do so, because at this point anyone who denies AI co…

Crazy that this hasn't got more traction here. Maybe people missed this thread. Agentic cli based coding "got good" (around Oct/Nov 2025), and after just a short trial period, most…

I'm on the verge of trying out a home project (Rust) with codex. ChatGPT suggested I start with the codex app and vs code. What made you switch?

Thanks. I haven't been checked. People always mention this though, so maybe it's common. But some people are just bad sleepers even without sleep apnea?

What you mean is "it's really not bad for me". Noise pollution is horrible. It is jarring and causes stress (health issues), and poor sleep (health issues). This isn't just a vague…

What exactly is sleep apnea?

Melatonin works well to help me get to sleep, but it doesn't keep me asleep. My issue is waking multiple times in the night, mostly because I'm just uncomfortable, but my brain wil…
