It's particularly puzzling because until a few months ago the unmistakable consensus at the fuzzy borderlands between development and operations was: 1. Reproducibility 2. Chain of custody/SBOM 3. Verification of artifacts of CI A

No, it's a psychological effect. Claude Code pushes the reward center in your brain, and that reward center gets tired after a while.

Ah sorry I read your comment wrong. Yes I agree we can and do make probabilistic systems; we've just to date been using deterministic tools to do so.

by bandrami 9mo ago
Huh? What's an example of a probabilistic programming language?

It's bad enough that a new programming fad washes over the industry every five years or so; some progress still manages to squeak through. It's going to absolutely grind to a halt if we're just getting a new black box oracle

The phrase "worse is better" was coined almost 40 years ago

I really liked stow. My toy distro back in the day was based on it.

Works pretty well for Nix

And yet the comments are chock full of cargo-culting about different moods of the oracle and ways to get better output.

Something besides AI tooling. This isn't Amway.

Yeah, still waiting for something to ship before I form a judgement on that

"Become better at intuiting the behavior of this non-deterministic black box oracle maintained by a third party" just isn't a strong professional development sell for me, personally. If the future of writing software is chasi

Plugdata (a rework of Puredata as an LV2 plug-in) fills that role pretty well

Short stories are, IMO, where he really shines. The Illustrated Man is a good collection to start with, as is The Golden Apples of the Sun . But read them slowly, and (this may be a controversial statement) in a physical paper book.

Misrepresenting banks' positions was the actual cause of the crash though

Lots of loan officers and auditors were jailed, yes (more of the former than the latter, IIRC)

Nope, it's absolutely true. Sorry. It's (again) how I know nobody actually cares about this, because people would have noticed when the news reported on it in the 2010s.

If you want to argue the wrong 200 bankers went to jail I think that would be a great discussion to have, but that's absolutely not where the public narrative is right now, which is that these convictions simply never happened
687.
by bandrami 9mo ago
Because people are just straight-up misinformed about this and get angry when I point this out rather than being happy to find out they were wrong. Here's an article from 2016 which was before the big wave of convictions happened in 20

There were examples of both. In most of the cases where they were jailed for fraud related to the TARP loans it was lying on the required audit about what their positions prior to the crash were.

Now if you want to argue that the wrong 250 bankers went to jail, I'm open to discussing that, but the simple fact is you thought the number was zero until five minutes ago and rather than being happy you were wrong, you're an
