“ today ChatGPT would like outperform a highschool competitive programming competition.”

Google did it first. You input a search string, find results on first or second attempt and then copy and paste the code.

Git is pretty easy to use but people tend to overcomplicate it. Just push changes to your branch. Merge when ready. And keep your branch up to date with your main branch. Easy.

Congratulations to sticking to it for such a long time. Given sufficient time any startup can work. The more you know the more competitive you are the better the product.

Thanks for putting up for those of us whom are too rebellious! Promise changes in the coming year. Happy holidays!!

The media is corrupt and filled with incompetent writers. According to them we will be replaced by ai monday morning. They did the same wave of stories where they said baristas and chefs will be replaced by ai robots just a few years ago. They even had “proof”: a robot arm here and there doing a crappy job at making a burger and scrambled eggs. Now it’s tech “workers”. Also there are no jobs in tech. These folks writing “news” really are clueless and have no idea what they are writing - dont usually bother talking to people and researching their content, they just spew it out.

“8.2 M Estimated to be in fuel poverty by October 2022.”

In the United Kingdom. Let that sink in. In 2022 we should not have to worry about energy prices. Should be as cheap as breathing air. Yet here we are.

If software engineers could read this they would be so upset. Their code stolen off of github and resold through ai is the silliest thing they could have done to themselves.

Oh buzz off child.

One bad recession and that AAA piece of proprietary software you've built a whole game on could go under.

Great, that increases scarcity.

Companies investing labour so they can pay less for labour isnt something to celebrate. They can pay people to build tools or buy them from indie devs. The web world is essentially dead for independent development. Software is everywhere and it costs precisely zero. Best deal you can get is wage slavery. Now this is all about to eat the game dev world. Add some ai to the mix and artists can kiss their little revenue goodbye. I know i am not hiring one because i can generate my content online. Soon that will come to asset store packages that will be available for free everywhere.

Well then, people shouldnt complain when their private lifes get monetised in lieu for cost or when kids get hooked on loot boxes. Let alone when of the last standing indie software dev markets dries up thanks to oss cancer.

VR capable computers are quite cheap. Cheaper than a low spec apple macbook pro running m1. For 2-3k you can get a beast of a machine running everything on real high settings.

At what point does it make sense to build new cities instead of refactoring legacy ones?

This is a one way process - companies take but never give.

So free labour? No thank you. Open source devs should think long and hard about how their good will is being taken advantage of. Not just by mega corps reselling their software by saas or ais but also by individuals demanding features and support. It also simply reduced the monetary value of code to zero. Unless it cures cancer there is no need to make it available free of charge.

Unfortunately the only thing to motivate most people is greed. I am aware of the legacy, but the way to sell this is by highlighting the profit that can come out of it. And fortunately there is nothing to kill on mars in the process. It’s a win win.

Europe is more keen on stability. That and protectionism through bureaucracy means things are moving at a slow pace. Some like it that way. And to spicy things up a bit, european countries enjoy dominating one another with petty politics. There is some cooperation for show but by and large it’s mainly driven by old age colonialism without wars. Cross border cultural friction means slow adoption of innovation between countries. Just look at east europe where innovative tech companies do better on the us market than its own eu home market.

Without the desire to explore and expand there would be no America. If the Spanish and Portuguese would have waited to solve all of humanity’s problems first and then set out to explore new worlds the world would be a different place today. Same with space exploration. It is in our dna as the most advanced life forms to go out there. It is also a duty to all life on this earth to expand beyond. Finding even a hint of former life on mars means life is a rule not an exception in the universe. Being able to colonise it means we can outsource all our destructive resource gathering to mars. Or even better we can live on it. Doing so would mean trade with earth and as a result development on a scale never seen before.

Would you rather the us takes second place in researching space and energy tech?

A modern IDE does nearly all the ai hype hopes to achieve, minus code completion. It reviews code, auto completes, hints good practice, searched code real fast, etc.

good question - how can it handle answers about countries founded on genocide, slavery, systemic racism, and their impact on affected people’s lives across centuries. can it correlate iq with these?

I like the effort and thats it’s freeware, but that react code looks horrible.

“The concept of telecommuting was proposed in the early 1970s by Jack Nilles, a former NASA engineer. He offered it as an alternative to resource-draining transportation amid the oil crisis of that era.”

And then we went back to draining resources just so we can provide emotional support for those without a personal life or to cover gaps in other’s communication skills.

I love to read about such outliers. If i could achieve at least 10% of what they did and gain the freedom to sit at my desk in a room decorated to my choosing and build my very own product that people enjoy and buy i would be so happy. This in my view is pure, unadultared, freedom.

Bottom line: it's surprisingly easy to become unbanked in EU.

If you move money from a country that threatens europe with nukes. But i see your point. The issue is how can banks separate genuine refugees from people taking advantage of the situation and trying to move illegally acquired money?

A lot of eu countries have a threshold of how much you can pay in cash, and it works just fine. No one is missing hospital treatment because of it and even illiterate folks can use banks and open accounts.

Yes, same east eu countries that gave up duty fees and sold their industries to countries such as austria, so that people can then cite tired stats. A bit like austria having built a lot of castles with money stolen from its former empire subjects and then pointing out that said subjects are poor and dont own castles.

Here is one example: https://www.occrp.org/en/investigations/eastern-europes-bigg...

Then there’s banking, oil, and other resources. And of course the audacity to veto countries schengen membership unless more control over these is granted. Hiding behind made up excuses.

Regardless of how small the fee, there is a fee that you are being forced to pay.

All financed by the east eu countries Austria is extracting revenue from. Perhaps a reverse of fortunes might be in order?

Here in europe even trying to humanise the roma can be an issue. Those people are so discriminated against that even defending them is looked down upon. Entire countries are maligned simply because they have a large number of this minority. No ethnic group in the us is as discriminated as these folks are in europe. America has not known such racism since the end of slavery.

Corruption is well obvious. See ursula, the head of the ecb and so on.
