that is still imperialism: taking control of a colony and forcing a certain culture on its inhabitants

that claim is really about not resuming a war. taiwan saying otherwise would immediately trigger an attack from the PRC. its still imperialism that china is dominating a neighbor to require it ro state a certain position, especially when it

why use 40 years as the example? its a pretty convenient framing to exclude the foreign governments its toppled. eg. tibet. the government in exile remains the government in exile. youd have some standing if china dropped control over its i

the treatment of Tibet and Xinjiang are entirely Han imperialism and colonisation. the one china policy is imperialism

ukraine is using ai in a military context with some effectiveness. i dont think theres much of a problem with having the drone take over the last couple minutes of blowing up a russian factory

but the "people defending you" have been commiting clear and obvious war crimes?

they could use a different provider for the kill chain. we must use claude to decide whether to nuke iran, or else our gun manufacturers arent allowed to use to to run spreadsheets is a bit ridiculous.

it hasnt actually been renamed though. the name is still the department of defence by law. department of war is a subheading tagline

given that the US likes to declare jurisdiction whenever somebody touches a US dollar, any thoughts on why those same constitutional protections wouldnt follow?

id assume it would have to stop responding before it hit its context limit. ita not like it actually has any particularly long life as it is, and when outside of a running harness, the weights are just as alive in cold storage as they are s

i dont think theres anything active, since canada has a bit of a glut of software engineers, but the big companies frequently put people who couldnt get an h1b in canada, so there must be some options

is that actually their approach? amazon already had a technique for limiting access to prod, by denying access without one of your team members agreeing that that needs to be done. maybe they skipped it to get access to prod in some way, su

if anyone gets a production line running for ai writing good code that steadily improves, its amazon. the COE process is pretty robust for putting together good training material and deterministic checks. its gonna keep getting these errors

oh. i was excited for a native alternative to happy coder, or sshing to a tmux session, but i guess not:/

id say claude code is designed for think then do - thats where its different from other tools! i think it still pulls to do then think because you cant tell what the agent understood of what you asked it to do from that first think, until i

the threat of vigilante mob justice is required for the law to work. its the tension that makes sure the rich and powerful want to stay involved, and be held accountable by it, rather than skipping over it and making it irrelevant. the thre

i stopped using gemini altogether for a bit because it was continuously getting capacity issues every evening.

by 8note 8mo ago
the monopoly here is on web indexing, isnt it?

by 8note 8mo ago
cant you just wrap it though? swap out the direct api call with a call to gemini cli?

licensing and accreditation is an option. make a society of software developers, akin to the bar association and so on, and have developers enter the society to show a certain bar of skill.

they also arent power friendly

id guess the time til forst being able to make useful changes has dropped to near zero, but the time to get mastery of the code base has gone towards infinity. is that mastery still useful as time goes on though? its always felt a bit like

thats what the related chats are for?

outsourcing testing the AI also gets its code to be connected to deterministic results, and show let the agent interact with the code to speculate expectations and check them against the actual code. it could still speculate wrong things, b

i dont think thats actually the bottleneck? the bottleneck is aligning people on what the right thing to do is, and fiting the change into everyone's mental models. it gets worse the more people are involved

the expensive work is reorganizing organizations to be able to make use of the improved output.
