But that would mean they would have do a lot more work in the same amount of time.

So where does your responsibility of this code end ? Do you just push to repo, merge and that's it or do you also deploy, monitor and maintain the production systems? Who handles outages on saturday night, is it you or someone else ?

Of course it doesn't matter indeed. What I was hinting at is if you forget all the times the LLM was wrong and just remember that one time it was right it makes it seem much more magical than it actually might be.

Also how were the data races significant if nobody noticed them for a decade ? Were you all just coming to work and being like "jeez I dont know why this keeps happening" until the LLM found them for you?

I never asked for this.

that would just create more evidence of him not using it regularly. not good

And I've seen Claude identify data races that have sat in our code base for nearly a decade

how do you know that claude isn't just a very fast monkey with a very fast typewriter that throws things at you until one of them is true ?

I’ve benefited incredibly from commenting.

All of that social activity with zero ROI.

First OpenAI video I've ever seen, the people in it all seem incompetent for some reason, like a grotesque version of apple employees from temu or something.

Any old laptop (especially thinkpad) can run linux well. If you want to use it it's not "trouble" per se because once you really know what you are doing there is no trouble(and you can't get to knowing what you're doing without finding out what is it you did that caused you the trouble).

If you just want to use linux so you can tell someone about it, don't bother using linux and stick to what works for you.

It's just one of those consequences of "I don't care about the specifics just put it in production" that ends up in "why didn't you tell me that I completely misunderstood"

cyber activists, and in the text of the article, they were called cybercriminals

depends who's side you are on

Their target demographic was already born into the matrix and they don't even know it's there; it will hardly be a problem for them.

people who don't use ddg believe ddg=bing; there is no point in debating that

I feel like you are jumping to conclusions here, I wasn't talking about the achievement or the AI, I was talking about the article and the way it explains finding diamonds in minecraft to people who don't know how to find diamonds in minecraft.

Article makes it seem like finding diamonds is some kind of super complicated logical puzzle. In reality the hardest part is knowing where to look for them and what tool you need to mine them without losing them once you find them. This was given to the AI by having it watch a video that explains it.

If you watch a guide on how to find diamonds it's really just a matter of getting an iron pickaxe, digging to the right depth and strip mining until you find some.

Financial collapse ? Surely we can just roll out AI powered money printers and make them go BRRR /s

I am not american nor I live in america so I don't really have a horse in this race, but the DOGE approach seems to be the classic "move fast and break things" approach. The reactions to it are the classic reactions to that approach, competent people speak out to get broken things fixed and others are confused about what is happening.

Something is really wrong with you if you think of a targeted ad instead of a doctor when you have a medical problem.

nostalgia

Before "Information Systems" there was no need for a company/college wide network; computers with printers on the same desk were a replacement for the typewriter.

It's about finding a simple (enough) way through a (seemingly) complicated system.

I don't share my data with anyone so I don't need cloud storage. SSDs are so cheap at this point that I just buy a new SSD every few years and install a fresh copy of Windows there. Old drive gets unplugged and "archived" on the shelf.

If I need to access the "archive" I use a SATA to USB cable and plug the drive in.

I avoid large capacity drives (my biggest one is about 200GB) and use spacesniffer so I'm forced to keep the data I store lean.

That's the easy part. The hard part is getting people to admit that the metric has been discovered already. Most problems with automation are organizational problems not technical ones.

Well yeah 10% of a big number is always going to be a big number, that's how math works.

You can take all the salaries of the world and assume you can automate a percentage of that and you will consistently arrive to a big number.

In Europe we have less and less people.

Sorry, what Europe are you talking about ? I don't think that's true.

Sounds like you're dealing with a case of impostor syndrome.

My advice is just write more code until you make enough mistakes that have consequences that make you understand why it's better to "write less code".

If you consider how people get better at other skills, let's say 3d printing or carpentry; they make a ton of useless stuff for reasons that might only make sense to them - they 3d print figurines of stuff from games or movies they like, they craft things just to test out a new machine or to give them a reason to buy some gear.

Maybe don't look at your self as a "programmer", look at yourself as a "person who knows programming". If you like video games you might develop a tool that helps you generate strategies for that game or if it's an online game you can make a tool that queries some of the APIs of the game so you can run analysis or alerts on what happens in the game.

All in all we are people who write code that serves other people in the end, so being "good enough" is just about finding people that need the level of code you are able to write.

I think 6 months of experience is a very short time to reach conclusions about what does or doesn't work for you, maybe 6 years might be enough.

Try not to develop an emotional attachment to your job, you will end up earning more and learning more if you switch companies every 1-2 years and that's hard if you let your current position define who you are.

Also check out this list[0] and read about some of the biases if you're not aware of them, it helped me to deal with the way I feel about myself and others.

PS: also when dealing with online learning content try to consciously consider if it actually teaches you something or just makes you feel like you're learning something. The latter is a waste of time in my honest opinion.

Better and better how ? Isn't this also based on an overcomplicated web of anecdotes ?

Eventually your usb-c port will get clogged up with pocket lint. The SIM card extractor that comes with your phone works really well at cleaning it, or you can also use a toothpick to get the lint out, just be gentle so you don't bend stuff inside the port.

I'm a human so I can't provide an AI summary.

Check this summary out though I typed it out with my hands:

- airplane people use radio based on some standards from the 1970s to talk to ground people

- said airplanes fly over a guy's house so he can receive airplane people messages

- guy filters out human readable parts and has a bot that picks few of them that could be funny

- bot posts it online
