Or, quantum physics might actually be onto something. Visualization is a thing, something happens when you can see it happening.

I can see it's not being well received by the AI apologizing squad. Let's just flag anything that gets in the way of profit and peace of mind. Truth will find you.

Is it though, or are you currently enjoying the same trip? I mean, take a step back, is it worth the effort?

I agree, but being afraid of them?

I definitely prefer working in Linux. But having Windows tightly integrated when needed is nice. If only I could run replace the Windows shell with a Linux DE...

How is this easier than jumping straight to the line with absolute numbers?
337.
by codr7 1y ago
Yeah, programming used to be performed by programmers. Being afraid of concurrency, or pointers or whatever; makes no sense. Being aware, on the other hand, is a very good idea.

Do we really want to go further down this path? Things that used to work just fine are already breaking badly because of AI.

Or even better imo, Reason ML.

Yeah, I can imagine how that goes: Oh, there's a bug in this test case, deletes test case. Oh, now we're missing a test case, adds test case. Lather, rinse, repeat.

If you're lucky. If you're even luckier it will perform the desired function fast enough. Why not spend the money on lottery tickets instead?

That's not how they are being used though, is it?
343.
by codr7 1y ago
That future is far from inevitable, the first question we SHOULD ask is if it's a good idea to go down this path.

Using AI certainly isn't expected in any teams I'm leading; not that I'm going to forbid anyone to use a tool, but I will warn everyone about depending on it and the requirement for verification/understanding.

Not only does your fancy AI junior randomly spew bullshit back at you; that happens with humans as well; but it keeps doing it, never learning anything. Managing one or several of these idiots has to be the worst job ever invented.

Smells like Swift to me; too much specialization, everything reads like a contract.

At the peak of my hyper typing trip, doing lots of Haskell and C++, I was trying to encode all the column/table/query types of my database in the host language. Nothing I would recommend, perfect doesn't mean its a good idea.

Restating the context as one where the problem doesn't exist. Any fool can write code.

I've only ever heard of two ships hitting bridges; both recently, both in the US, both lost power and drifted into the bridge. At least this bridge fall like a house of cards, I guess because the masts broke first.

I like this better than sharks though, sharks are terrifying enough without super intelligence.

by codr7 1y ago
Which is a very reasonable conclusion given the kinds of errors it makes. Why are you so defensive about the tech? Involved in any AI startups, perhaps?
352.
by codr7 1y ago
I agree in the example given. But add templates to the mix and a generic default becomes quite useful.
353.
by codr7 1y ago
There are no limits to how much of an specialized expert you can become in C++. Knowing all of it just isn't possible from my experience.
354.
by codr7 1y ago
That's what I've been saying, every line of C++ is a book waiting to be written.

Faster, yes; more efficiently...I guess that's why they're funding nuclear plants then?

by codr7 1y ago
As long as that argument makes you happy, go for it :)
357.
by codr7 1y ago
It's still gambling, you're trading learning/reinforcing for efficiency, which in the long run means losing skills.

The fact that you can get your drugs for free doesn't exactly make you less of an addict.

I am very curious about the difference between an array of closures and an array of alternating function pointers and data. The latter doesn't come very naturally in most languages, you need something very C like for it to make sense.

And he's telling other people they should like it as well, because he has seen the light. My gut feeling says that there's a fair bit of Stockholm Syndrome involved in the attachments people form with Rust. You could see similar b
