> Yes there is still human input but it requires comparatively no skill or depth and it gets easier by the month. If I were lobotimized today I'd still be able to function as half-assed architect to AIs anyway. Hard doubt, software engineering is so much more than just literal coding and typing. At least for many of us, the coding/typing part is the easy stuff, everything around that is where the actual engineering h…

Honestly conflating coding with typing tells me your idea of coding is very different to what I used to do.

Use whatever labels you want, apply charitable reading and I'm sure even you could understand what I mean here. Clearly there are at least two sorts of tasks (or used to anyways) in "software engineering" as a whole, one more mechanical and one more about thinking.

It's bittersweet, isn't it. Software is solved, but at a terrible cost.

Software isn't solved. 'Coding' is, according to the people of Claude.

Coding (programming) is a tedious and expensive part of software engineering. There's other parts AI isn't doing, such as understanding and refining requirements, and delivery + accountability.

The blog mentions a Graphing Calculator. Not sure if it shares code, but macOS still ships with an app to draw graphs, Grapher.app

Grapher.app is different from Graphing Calculator. It came via an acquisition. All the details are here if you want to read the backstory (assuming the info is correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapher)

For those unaware, this line is from the movie Terminator 2 : * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ4Ol9Tb1D0 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_2:_Judgment_Day

That movie has aged incredibly well!

Resolution-wise it hasn't due to the extensive use of early CGI.

Feels like it might be pertinent to share more details than simply the error code. What country? How are you connecting? Anything out of the ordinary with your setup that might be the cause?

That CGI looks quite OK, and even surpasses much of "modern" CGI. Have you ever seen "Flash"?

This is considering the effects were done in 1990.

Edit: a lot of what people think is CGI in T2 is actually NOT.
