You reminded me of the 10 years I spent loading up Achewood every week after it was functionally ended. (Although recently I discovered Onstad has a Patreon, and is regularly drawing new comics again behind the paywall). Most of the internet feels the same way, but there are still pockets of creativity. If you can tolerate a podcast (or a radio play, if you prefer), I really enjoyed listening to the first season of Valley Heat last year. Very silly. A friend linked it to me, and I surprised myself by actually giving it a try; I am glad that I did.

Steam has existed for an eternity compared to any console specific game store. It's not great that you can't resell what you have on Steam, but at least you get to 'keep' it.

As soon as I read the quoted paragraph, I rapidly scrolled to see how much more was written, then closed the tab. Generating a lot of code might be 'free' now but the generated code is very costly. I don't have the time to read an article written upon such a premise.

The reports of AI powered 10x development speed are greatly exaggerated

The eternal September began long before any of the things this post is eulogizing came into existence, things which I also remember fondly. There's still room for creation.

I enjoyed Good Work's recent coverage on this subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0ltbBby9FU

Is this implying that you don't believe people will hire programmers anymore?

Someone claiming to be the creator of Dark Castle says they are working on a 40th anniversary edition in the comments of that video.

If you can cure a cancer by framing it as a data analysis exercise that doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Children generally have these things called "parents" who are supposedly responsible for their well being. Oh hey, suddenly there isn't a contradiction.

I'm not as good as Fabrice Bellard either but I don't let that bother me as I go about my day.

From the article:

  Historically, it would take a reasonably long period of consistent effort and many iterations of refinement for a good developer to produce 10,000 lines of quality code that not only delivered meaningful results, but was easily readable and maintainable. While the number of lines of code is not a measure of code quality—it is often the inverse—a codebase with good quality 10,000 lines of code indicated significant time, effort, focus, patience, expertise, and often, skills like project management that went into it. Human traits.

  Now, LLMs can not only one-shot generate that in seconds,

The first one is pretty funny because Gmail search itself has a lot of issues.

Vague nonsense

The newly released footage is truly a political Rorschach test. It is unbelievable to me that anyone without diminished mental capabilities could believe that exonerates the camera man.

Not that your comment is relevant, but why is there a narrative of obstruction when you can visibly see Renee Good wave another truck by moments before she was killed?

Don't the invested dollars poured into infrastructure that won't yield gains represent a loss of value? Especially if the same investment could have been put to work somewhere more fruitful.

The parent comment is talking about outsourced lead battery recycling. What is the middle ground there? I think your very abstract argument about over regulation probably belongs in another thread.

Is the suggestion here to remove environmental regulations that make outsourcing to countries without regulations appealing? I'm not sure what problem that solves. Of course without discussing specific regulations it is hard to argue about anything - maybe there are useless environmental regulations that make lead battery recycling impossible in first world countries? Or maybe your line of reasoning just doesn't make sense, at least in this case. I don't think I'd want to live near a polluting lead battery recycling operation.

Maybe software updates could contain things users actually want, that provide a competitive incentive for users to choose to buy the phones from specific makers?

It's good at tasks if you have a competent and _critical_ human editor selecting outputs and pulling the prompt slot lever again as needed.

Tricks of the * Game Programming Gurus :)

Would your parents have picked you up if real time location sharing existed? I understand your story is emotional and personal, but using it as an argument why you want to share your location at all times is a bit of a non-sequitur.

You could engage with the article and explain why you don't agree with the argument that is being made - or you could simply leave no comment at all. That is the hidden subtext of the comment you are replying to here.

They're right :) even if it isn't a conspiracy, that's what will happen because it will be convenient and easy.

This didn't trip my AI detector; I instinctively skimmed to look at the numbers and conclusions. Your comment made me go back up to the top and read the opening paragraphs and I see what you are saying. It is always painful to realize you are reading AI product. I think it is less of a problem with this blog post because it is just presenting a handful of tables of numbers and a few graphs, but it seems I am already unconsciously training myself to ignore florid AI writing.

Let's do it!

The mention of "HubSpot" triggered a memory... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11369632 - wow, can't believe how long ago this was! Anyways, not surprised that a company where 1 + 1 = 3 would be big on AI.

There is no mass Marxist movement in the USA. There is a left wing crippled by worse than useless identity politics.

thanks, i completely misread this
