A non-trivial faction of our government has been teasing knowledge of some sort of non-human intelligent lifeform (that word isn't considered precisely accurate) on EARTH. This isn't some crackpot theory, they've been having

There's a similar phenomenon in the US when someone talks about "needing to have had built housing", as if this tidal wave of people was just some necessary fact of reality. This is something that was intentionally done and t

It's also a pretty ineffective term because it's clearly somewhat endearing.

There's a magician's trick done when people talk about a problem directly attributable to massive population growth and instead of looking at cause, they look at effect.

Protectionist measures existed in the US economy well prior Trump's recent term as president.

Regardless you have no way of knowing where you are on the curve at any given point. That all being said I strongly disagree that GPT-5 isn't categorically better, I just think it's less obvious because we're starting to hit

Any company that receives special federal protections should also be held partially or entirely in trust-ownership by the US government, not shareholders.

Part of why AI is concerning is that literally nobody can actually predict what the outcome of these models is going to be even a couple of years out, the decision tree just instantly blows out and becomes impossible to track. Anybody telli

That's a nice story but without any advancements proper leverage of currently existing AI models can indeed remove many, many jobs from the labor pool, probably double digit percentage-wise. The idea that these tools won't at all

An AI tool can both navigate a legacy codebase and help explain it to you successfully currently, right now, if you're doing it correctly. I've contracted some of this understanding of pieces/intellectual work out to Claude c

Why do engineers care about productivity again?

>Overall, we're saving money, developer time, and preventing bugs that would make it to production. So it's a win-win-win! "We" and "win" are both doing a lot of heavy-lifting here, as they are whenever talk

I think this type of AI doomsday hypothesis rubs me the wrong way because it's almost quaint. Merely being surveilled and marketed at is a fairly pedestrian application from the rolodex of AI related epistemic horrors.

I know a lot of people, especially those in the industry, don't want to deal with this, but this was the year of "AI agents". I'm not sure what else you'd expect.

The trump administration supports vast H1B immigration.

Can AI categorically not be a "real coder" or is the limitation in more trivial things such as scope and breadth? My experiences suggest to me that it is technically quite close.

by catigula 1y ago
No offense but your experience with AI is fairly primitive if that's where you're at.

Right, but comparing the American army and strategic military positioning as a nation to those societies is more than a little comical. These societies literally couldn't have existed without military service. America has a very diffic

I'd prefer we never get the right to repair to making precedent that rights are contingent on military service.

by catigula 1y ago
I'm not. The notion that you only earn basic rights if you join the military is literally the premise of absurd comedy Starship Troopers.

I have a strong suspicion that if you need, or feel you need something like this, you're misusing coding agents.

React isn't the problem, the problem is literally every dev I've ever worked with who writes react good except for one or two don't understand or care how to write performant react code at all.

I don't think it's unreasonable or onerous to shift the burden of hiring onto companies well-suited and minimally impacted by this process compared to individuals. The fines should definitely be proportional though, with larger co

No need to be pedantic, we know that there are physical limits to people that exist. Obviously, we're talking about uncapped immigration. Regarding your question, it's for you to answer bi-directionally, the result being interrog
