In the US, free speech protections are very selective (depending on what you planning to say). The rest of the Western world does not even have the laws protecting free speech. No need to worry.

Unfortunately, this brings an obvious question: If they sensor something like this, how could we trust platforms with the actually important subjects?

It is already illegal to use images in somebody's likeness for commercial purposes or purposes that harm their reputation, could be confusing, etc... Basically the only times you could use these images are for some parodies, for public

I would also add that many (most?) companies/entities do not sell software but have large IT departments that could write software for internal consumption. Think Exxon, BP, Caterpillar, Airlines, Gov Labs/agencies, DOD, etc... In

I have to agree with this assessment. I am currently going at the rate of 300-400 lines of spec for 1,000 LOC with Claude Code. Specs are AI-assisted also, otherwise you might go crazy. :-) Plus 2,000+ lines of AI-generated tests. Pretty re

I can't see into the future, but I think that AI, at any level, will not excuse people from the need to acquire top professional skills. Software engineers will need to know Software Engineering and CS, AI or not. Marketers will have t

Very true. One thing we could do it to take a positive/constructive view of the future and drive towards it. People can all lose their jobs, OR we could write 1,000x more software. Let's give corporate developers tools to write 1,

Not saying AI will take anybody's job. It's just that the nature of the job is changing, and we have to acknowledge that. Will still be competitive. Will still require strong SE/CS knowledge and skills. Will still require&#x2

Yes, you could write the code yourself, but keep in mind that this activity is going away for most engineers (but not for all) in 1 - 2 years. I think a better advice would be to learn reading/reviewing an inordinate amount of code, ve

Correct, but each may be using different 20%. In the enterprise software (think ERP), each user may be using only 0.01% of the overall functionality. And the entire company maybe using only 1% of the functionality.

I am ended up not using this option anyway. I am using B-MAD agents for planning and it gets into a long-running planning stream, where it needs permission to execute steps. So you end up running the planning in the "accept edits"

There is a saying that, in China, the top political career starts at 70. I don't think the age is the problem. It's corruption.

Are we still getting AGI in 2026, per OpenAI? Based on AGI 2026, they convinced US Government to block high-end GPU sales to China. They said, we only needed 1-2 more years to hold them off. Then AGI and OpenAI/US rules the world. Is t

If they are PhDs in Computer Science, I believe they would qualify for EB-1.

My understanding is that the smartest people are getting EB-1 and O-1 visas. We should definitely get them all. What these CEOs are asking for, must be something else.

Yeah, I am sure soon we be given good reasons why "they couldn't handle" JK either. Just scroll down the comments. See, ABC affiliates wanted him gone... :-) TC has now an audience larger than the entire Fox News. Maybe JK wi

Yes, they could have spent time, first creating an informal "communication safety" group between some Government agency and Disney/ABC. But I feel like this is splitting hairs.

First of all, no need for personal attacks. Second, I am not supporting this, merely stating the reality. Would you rather pretend that things like that aren't happening?

We are constantly being told that AI will soon replace engineers and other jobs. I would like to understand what will we need H1B workers for, with the wide adoption of AI? My understanding is that best and brightest will go on O1 visas any

People are discovering that cancel culture goes both ways. Neither one is good. But let's not pretend that cancel culture has not been going for many years now. Remember Fox News cancelling, their most popular at the time, Tucker Carls

I am not even sure what free market is, aside from Economics textbooks and foreign policy positioning. Whatever it may be, I don't think we had it for quite some time.

So faced with a choice of buying hobbled H20 GPU chips vs developing their own (so far behind the SOTA), the Chinese market decided to develop/buy their own GPU chips? Who could have possibly seen this coming? /s

I am not sure C++ needs a defense. Especially after C++ 11 cleanup.
