That's not that bad an idea, with some caveats. An incentive for entrepreneurs? It can help kickstart a stagnant economy.

I'm concerned about your comment. I envision a future when people can't deduct anything by themselves and will rely on automated, flawed systems. The problem is not knowing why and how the systems are flawed, and therefore being u

The difference I perceive is the split between being the one designing the software, which is what he likes to do, and letting a LLM design the software, without the developer actually understanding what's going on, which is what he di

Wait for the Meta offer, it could be a few millions.

That's an interesting point that could be even more interesting with some examples on both languages.

Awesome recommendation, I started watching it, and now I want to finish the season.

I think it is absurd to fail to learn the basics and focusing on 'deliverables' from day one. You need to get the ideas first. The language used is the least of your concerns. This is even more poignant on this era of vibe coding.

Some people copy and paste snippets of code without knowing what it does, and in a sense, they spread technical debt around. LLMs lower the technical debt spread by the clueless, to a lower baseline. You were part of the clueless, so an LLM

> Linux now has a bigger desktop marketshare than firefox. This means many Linux users install an alternative browser, not to use Firefox. That's funny, but so true.

This is huge =) I remember the days when we were under 1%. Congratulations to all involved on making this true.

Yes, if a LLM outperforms you, you have never reasoned in your life. I will assume you passed high-school based on your looks and not on your abilities.

Yes, and I want all of this to happen automatically. Last time, I had to spent a few hours deleting all the resources one by one, and then double check to be sure nothing was missing.

If it is randomly generated, half of the puzzles are unsolvable.

I remember making that puzzle in C++. Half of the random states created are solvable, and the other half are unsolvable. My solution was not checking if the puzzle is solvable (the mathematics of this seem complicated), but starting with a

I found writing in Lisp was liberating, as everything can be reused into a bigger program. And Lisp is a functional programming language. It is also a programmable programming language, so you can even extend its syntax. I am interested in

The view exposed in the article is all wrong. It is MBA-analyst levels of wrong. Valve didn't conquer anything. Valve defended PC gaming when everybody else including Microsoft, had abandoned it, and focused on consoles. Windows XP had

> But at heart the objections are about the fear of one's skills becoming economically obsolete. Unless I can become a millionaire just with those skills, they are in a limbo between economically adequate and economically obsolete.

A lower baseline of technical debt is a positive thing. You don't want more technical debt. Ideally, you want zero technical debt. In practice only a hello world program has zero technical debt.

That's where documentation matters. Take this snippet of code, and this is what each part means, and how you can change it. It doesn't explain how it is implemented, but it explains the syntax and the semantics of it, and that&#x2

Yep, there's some positive feedback loop missing in all these LLMs stuff.

You are right about this. Also, someone mathematically proved that's enough. And then someone else proved it empirically. There was an experiment where they trained 16 pigeons to detect cancerous or benign tumours from photographies. I

I am still the guy doing google-fu and rtfm. The skill has not been obliterated. We still need to fix the slop written by the LLMs, but it is not that bad. Some people copy and paste snippets of code without knowing what it does, and in a s

I read the server-side-rendered forums of DLang, and everything happens so fast, in around 200 ms, that I don't feel I am losing anything by the forums not being an SPA.
