This is the original "master plan" from 2025: https://www.tesla.com/master-plan-part-4 It becomes immediately obvious that there is no plan, it is just advertising the things Tesla has been doing already. The pict

Yes, Google with udm=14 is much better than "AI". "AI" might work for the trivia-type questions from this article, which most people aren't interested in to begin with. It fails completely for complex political or i

Yes, Godzil's repo could have the issues you point out but still give hints to Claude what APIs to replace. Or the latest possibly-Claude-plagiarized version perhaps has the same issues.

There is literally a GitHub repository, six years old , that ports an out-of-tree ftape driver to modern Linux: https://github.com/Godzil/ftape Could it be that Misanthropic has trained on that one?

If the author can keep the whole function code_change -> relevant E2E_TESTS in his head, it seems to be a trivial application. We don't know the methodology, since the author does not state how he verified that function or how he

Version control has quickly won. It was so popular that people kept writing new systems all the time. CI was popular. Most major open source projects had their own CI systems before GitHub. "AI" on the other hand is shoved down

Corporate overreach like this happens if most open source developers no longer speak up because they want to be hired or retain their positions. They delude themselves if they think that attitude provides them any security. The opposite is

It has to handle dirt, water, soap, five-year olds who pour sugar water over the robotic hands etc. So far I've only seen these things in clean and dry environments, where they fold dry laundry, badly. It looks like an absolute and exp

The number of bullshit jobs has been growing since the Internet, and programmers have facilitated them by adding unnecessary complexity. This time the purported capabilities of "AI" are a direct attack on thinking. Outsourcing thi
