You can only live by thinking. It's how you experience the world and how you move yr limbs.

One of the few things I've read that gives me hope for our species. Man, what a relief.

Long division (tilling fields, weaving cloth, whatever facile comparison this argument dredges up) doesn't define me as a creature, cognition does.

This is an argument against all laws, which probably deserves more than a couple sentences.

UBI doesn't address structural inequality, and because of inflation it doesn't make necessities (health care, housing, child care, education, food) affordable. We've suffered conservatives opposing simple policies of: * progr

I've had a set of Etymotic SR4s for years, I just replace the cable every 1-2 years. I love them to death, they're extremely flat though, so they make a version with bumped bass if that's your thing. If someone made a cable w

I think SWEs are genuinely pretty shocked and awed that codegen models can code at all, let alone code well. My guess is a lot of the agita around this is that people thought "I can code therefore I'm smart/special/etc.&

Every contract I've seen has some clause where the employee affirms they have the right to assign the rights to their output (code, etc) to the company. I'm not really convinced; I think if I vibe code an app, and you vibe code an

(the person you originally replied to is also me, tl;dr: I think engineers don't think they're authoring, but companies do) The core feature of generative AI is the human isn't the author of the output. Authoring something an

No software company thinks this, not Oracle, not Google, not Meta, no one. See: the guy they sued for taking things to Uber.

Copyright office says this has to be done case-by-case. My guess is they'd ask to see prompts and evidence of authorship.

by camgunz 8mo ago
Only the authored parts can be copyrighted, and only humans can author [0]. "For example, when an AI technology receives solely a prompt from a human and produces complex written, visual, or musical works in response, the 'traditi

Not necessarily. The referenced guidance [0] says: "...copyright will only protect the human-authored aspects of the work, which are 'independent of' and do 'not affect' the copyright status of the AI-generated mate

I think the thing that drives me nuts is that, while most people think the result of programming is a program, I disagree. The result of programming is one or more people who have a deep understanding of a problem space. Codegen models stil

I mean, Brooks' Mythical Man-Month says this explicitly: adding more programmers makes projects later because of coordination costs, which we haven't figured out (coordination isn't parallelization between agents, it's

That's my point. It's true codegen models generate code faster than humans do. Important remaining questions are: * How do we scale up the other parts of the SDLC (planning, feasibility analysis, design, testing, deployment, maint

by camgunz 8mo ago
Unless this measures the entire SDLC longitudinally (like say, over a year) I'm not interested. I too can tell Claude Code to do things all day every day, but unless we have data on the defect rate it doesn't matter at all.

But you would see more houses, or housing build costs/bids fall. This is where the whole "show me what you built with AI" meme comes from, and currently there's no substitute for SWEs. Maybe next year or next next year,

I'm not impressed: - if you're not passing SQLite's open test suite, you didn't build SQLite - this is a "draw the rest of the owl" scenario; in order to transform this into something passing the suite, you&#x2

I don't see any pro-AI people in this thread heralding the toehold UBI is getting in Ireland.

The most damning thing about this is they didn't test their email infra w/ Google Workspaces. Imagine what else they didn't test.

I see this argument all the time, the whole "hey at some point, which we likely crossed, we have to admit these things are legitimately intelligent". But no one ever contends with the inevitable conclusion from that, which is &quo

HN: Don't worry about AI, UBI will fix it. Also HN: UBI is a scam and no one will want to contribute to society.
