I agree. Writing manually and thoughtfully and then letting the AI figure out the nitty gritty implementation works very well.

Good point. I had great success with Rust indeed, which can catch errors early.

I always write my assembly by hand because nobody appreciates the craft anymore. It’s all hidden by those pesky compilers which generate extremely inadequate code that could easily be improved by some thinking on the programmer side /s

Agreed. AI doesn’t level the playing field but turns it more in a winner takes all situation. AI is currently best in Python programming from what I hear and this is because it has seen the most Python code.

Mojo to me seems like a high level language with some additional support for low level control especially around GPUs. A bit like Rust or C but with more streamlined Python integration and more low level GPU (matrices) support.

Also for the warmup case, tolerances inside the engine are designed assuming a hot engine. At lower temperatures, the metal hasn’t expanded yet causing also more stress on various parts such as the piston (seals). And for the turbo I forget

Well.. as so many things in engineering: it’s a tradeoff. Mechanically, it’s also very important to let the engine warm up and cool down before and after heavy load. Primary reasons for warmup are that the oil is more fluid on higher temper

I understand your theory regarding 70 AD and find it not completely implausible, but I don’t see much evidence for most of the events from Revelation 13 and 16 having occurred already. Especially Revelation 13:15 and 13:17 would be possible

Maybe I missed something, but isn’t it impossible to detect whether something is written by AI or not? A human on a bad day can write like AI while an AI on a good day can write like a human.

It was sold as a way to manage complexity but then made everything complex in a different way. For some problems, OOP makes sense, but for many I think it doesn’t. Unless you have a Rust like trait system that looks a lot like OOP but isn’t
