Microsoft has a terrible history of integration even among it's own products and has forced obsoletion throughout. If it's literally you only have a single vendor to pay then you must look for a nationalised solution otherwise you

There are issues with our current economic model and it blows down to rent. The service need model is allowing the owners and controllers of capital to set up systems that allow them to extract as much rent as possible, AI is just another a

Why exactly? I'd prefer we'd just build some more houses so that owning one didn't require a life time of work to pay for.

There is nothing attractive about c++ or rust, I really don't understand how anyone can think so, it has to be some sort of Stockholm syndrome. Think about it, before you started programming what about your experiences would make you a

Because of cult like belief structures growing up around rust, it's clear as day for us on the outside, I see it from the evangelists in the company I work for "rust is faster and safer to develop with when compared to c++",

If one believes that migrations have solved this for databases one is very sorely mistaken. Sure, you can migrate the data using some often brittle form of SQL migration log, but this doesn't help if some code happens to be reading tha

My thought exactly, I found it utterly incredulously that we some how have theses statistics with out any sort of object classification.

Because it has marginal to no benefit over existing c++ stacks, and more important would be economically detrimental because the majority of game developers doing engine coding are c++ developers.

Exactly this is the most incoherent article. There is no transition, only growth. More energy always up up.

Even without complete replacement over production is a real concern. Over production doesn't necessarily mean better but it did mean your hand crafted artisanal code need to compete against the shovelware of AI generation. Given the pr

Wait until the overproduction of code from AI and see how you feel then. Every industry that has suffered from over production ends up cheapening and removing significant elements of artisanal beauty. If the AI hype is to be believed we are

And I wish all the best with doubling down on that by generating boiler plate at scale rather than removing it

I'm in full agreement with this, and it's part of the reason I'm considering leaving the software engineering field for good. I've been programming for over 25 years, and the joy I get from it is the artistry of it, I se

Or, war is good peace is bad, nuclear war is winnable, don't worry and start loving the bomb. The enemy are not human anyway, your life will be better with fewer people around. Look at the people who want to control this, they do not w

And so what would the point be of anyone actually posting on the internet if no one actually visits the sites because large corps have essentially stolen and monetized the whole thing. And I'm sure they have or will have the ability to

What the hell are you talking about, a. batteries weren't mentioned and b. hydrogen is on the periodic table and exists as an element, and can actually be found in its pure form.

Electricity is a by product of some source of energy, it doesn't just materialise unless your taking about capturing lightening in a bottle.

Exactly, I'm sure Boeing and Intel both had KPIs coming out the walls but both have had major engineering issues recently.

Why would that be relevant? this isn't rasterization.

I absolutely hate this Draconian practice.

And why not? should he just allow the owners of capital to extract as much value as possible without actually doing anything, but woe be the worker if he actually tries to free himself.

I don't understand the anxiety with open source and big corporations, while deciding to use permissive licenses like MIT. Surely one could use a good copy left license and have far less anxiety.

Yeah, to become dependent.

That has never been the definition of hallucination, until LLMs. It's actually just called lying, dishonesty or falsehood. Hallucination is a distortion (McKenna might say liberation) of perception. If I hallucinate being covered in sp

The RFC said "SHOULD not" not "MUST not" couldn't we have just ignored the 2 connection limit?

Government debt that is denominated in a currency that the government can create at any time is hardly the same as the debt you or I have. Governments do not actually borrow from anyone if they can create their own money. They provide a fac

Considering that at any moment the US can conjure into existence as many dollars as it needs how can it possibly default?

Because they know the cost of everything but the value of nothing.

In my opinion that's literally what we're aiming for, whether or not intentionally.
