The places that Java is used are mostly higher level parts AFAIK. Java is more for the API of Android for app developers.

Nobody wrote systems software in Java and been successful. But Rust did.

That's kind of stuff that really makes me excited about AI.

The US government is okay basically because people who own cloud platforms are part of the government.

I am very excited about HTML export! HTML is much better at responsiveness and accessibility. Typst is such a great software. With it's modern programming language like syntax I learned it much faster than Latex. It's compile dura

Parent doesn't argue about that. How is this relevant?

I didn't even check the author before reading this comment. She is a great writer and super talented.

> the quality of code produced by AI will improve dramatically as model evolves. That's a very bold claim. We are already seeing plateu in LLM capabilities in general. And there is little improvement in places where they fall short

I am a bit confused because many things he criticise are opposite of each other. Such as adding complexity with new features and backward compatibility, or not inventing the wheel and using new tools.

Why use GenAI for this use case? Instead you can write transformers from one syntax to another syntax that will not hallucinate and work correctly every time. The conversion is well-defined.

Except it's more expensive, hallucinates and you are vendor locked.

No, from the research around it the findings are mixed. There is no consensus that it's net gain.

Yes, it writes in the slide 6 of presentation that Bjarne himself created: https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2023/blob/main/Presentations...

> the mess that causes the worst bugs is the result of a choice, not the language itself. Even the creator of the language admitted that "just write better code bro" approach doesn't work.

Non-oop languages has interfaces for a long time: Rust's traits, Haskell's typesclasses etc.

Not a serious project, but I use their stdlib for my personal static site generator. I think it has much better API compared to the standard stdlib.

That's only the case if you don't need to use the output of a much more expensive model.

I didn't know that, this seems like a big foot gun tbh

Funny that's basically how "growth" companies work in general

There is a difference: when you code in higher level languages most of the time (except some domains where you still need to understand assembly) you don't need to understand how generated assembly works. This is not the case with AI g

After you pick a server is there anything else that makes it hard?

How do we know? Especially for trainning LLMs it's a goldmine now.

I believe their business model is different. Since Proton doesn't mine data, extra space is just cost to them. But for Google basically all data is useful in some way so they maybe even profiting from free accounts. This is not the cas

Definitely when I read his works even though I didn't understand some of his writings it made me think about it.

That's just what I feel I didn't claim that it actually is just random stuff. But I value clarity and Baudrillard doesn't seem to try to be. However, as I said I do find his general points very valuable just his style is not
