So you don't live in a country supporting another country that's at war or has been at war lately? Otherwise your taxes contribute to the death of people. People feel much better having some distance from cruelty, that's why

> Can you avoid paying taxes? No Of course you can. It's just inconvenient. You could leave the country, break the law or stop getting a taxable income. It's not that "playing along" isn't a choice. It's jus

Living in Europe I have a different perspective on defense. Without it, we would already be living in Russian labor camps. You can't just stop funding military and your military industry and expect other actors to just play along and b

It's wild, but not new. I also live in Europe and I am not an US citizen of which at least 50% are part of the problem.

This is wild. Trump administration gave a bunch of young adults access to decide about millions and millions of tax money. No guardrails, no checks, no competence.

The problem with the metaphor is that you switched the attacker and defender role. Russia is the aggressor, but in your metaphor they are the defenders.

I don't completely follow the analogy, but I do follow the argument. High precision regarding the requirements often is not needed and that's exactly where LLMs shine. That's also where engineers come into play. They (and oft

I think it will be an arms race in the future as well. Easier to fix known vulnerabilities automatically, but also easier to find new ones and the occasionally AI fuckup instead of the occasionally human fuckup.

Realistically, most folks don't get paid to mitigate long term risks by deviation from the common (and more efficient) practice. Big companies have security roles on multiple levels, enforcing policies and not allowing devs to just ins

UB is about edge cases that a compiler should not be enforced to check against and an occurrence is always a bug. You don't necessarily need a precise description of the actual faulty behavior.

Functional requirements can be handled easily that way, yes. Maintainability however is about non-functional requirements like low complexity / decoupling. To me the trend seems to be that AI produce the same challenges as human did be

Exactly. Sorry for not being explicit about it. I thought it was clear enough, because 'this code is crap, let's just rewrite the whole thing, doesn't look to hard' is kind of famous for being a bad idea most of the time

Giving a precise description of what the computer is supposed to do is exactly what programming is. The more specific your requirements the closer you get to natural language not being useful anymore.

Well, ask any engineer about any code... ;-).

Validating / Verifying mediocre code is pretty hard as nobody was able to agree what that even means.

This assumes failures can be detected and fixed more easily than generating the corresponding change. I am not convinced that's the case. Counter points to my own arguments: 1. We don't know yet in detail what AI is good at. 2. AI

Just as "use code for contracts" failed for crypto currencies, "use AI output as prod" will fail for AI. Both is based on "just don't make catastrophic mistakes anymore". You also wrongly assume that requi

Comes the newest research focus with a decline in caffeine consumption (in the younger generation)? Is this part of a strategic move to reframe coffee as a general 'feel good' product instead of the efficiency connotation it has t

Exactly. People vastly overestimate the intelligence of decision makers.

> You're essentially suggesting pre-PRs, but it us circular, since those same pre-PRs would have the same criticism. Walking this road to the end you get pair programming.

Seems to be an instance of the prevention paradox: Security (in general) is taken seriously enough that major incidences are low enough that people think that security does not matter that much.

I believe the probability to die or get missing for a middle aged person is extremely low. So no, it's not expected that "some of a group of 5.000 Persons" would die or go missing.

I doubt that the US would win a war that far away without their allies providing infrastructure and Trump has alianated all western allies. I believe he is even capable to end those alliances in the middle of a war, resulting in effectively
