But you understand why one of these things is legal and the other is not? Because the employer has power and the employee doesn’t. Of course they should, but they have much more influence on the law so they don’t.

I’m still waiting for the first compelling piece of computer generated literature or cinema. I’d say art but for many, generated pictures are amazing so I’ll accept that. But creating compelling narratives seems impossible right now. I wond

I think you get the point that I’m making though. You could substitute vaccines by plate tectonics or evolution by natural selection or that smoking causes cancer.

> Sure, but it does undermine it. Not really. Take something like vaccines. There’s a ton of verified evidence that they work, and the view that they cause harm is not well supported at all. The fact that someone published papers about i

Respectfully, the replication crisis in science doesn’t invalidate scientific consensus. The stuff that actually is thoroughly checked and widely accepted still stands, and is a much stronger foundation because it has been challenged and ve

The claim that conservatism is rooted in an inability to process reality is a misrepresentation. The actual cornerstone of conservatism is an instinctual preference for stability, order, and the familiar. The danger arises when this instinc

It's brilliant, we don't actually need to go full communism, we just need to threaten it, and things will improve for the average person!

If you believe that building more housing is a solution to the housing crisis, then building large blocks of flats from prefabricates should seem like an attractive option. You can build cheaply and efficiently because of economy of scale,

I agree that fast iteration and the „easy to get something working” factor is a huge asset in Python, which contributed to its growth. A whole lot of things were done right from that point of view. An additional asset was the friendliness o

2 to 3 was possibly precisely because of user lock-in and sunk cost. This kind of global update was unprecedented, and could have been totally avoided with better design.

Ever been an expert who had to work on a codebase created by a novice? They invent the weirdest things. I know I used to do that too 10 years ago.

Sounds like a fun job, I’d love to do something like this in my 9 to 5. It’s also amazing how much work goes into making Python a decent platform because it’s popular. Work that will never be finished and could have been avoided with better

I assure you forcing everyone into one of two options results in way more division. You can probably imagine why.

Also practice, programming is hard, but just because one person doesn't understand something, doesn't mean it's impossible or a bad idea.

It’s brilliant because you can always shift the blame on the user. Wrong prompt, wrong model, should have used an agent and ran 3 models in parallel, etc. Meanwhile we get claims that the tools are as capable as a junior programmer, and CEO

I wonder if we get automatic LLM translation of codebases from language to language soon - this could close the library gap and diminish the language lock in factor.

When someone tells you they know how the future plays out because they saw it in fiction, oh boy you better be skeptical.

Science fiction pattern matching is a problem nobody talks about. People see something that vaguely resembles a movie that they saw and act like that movie is reality now.

It’s because the art for these games was so good, it didn’t feel like the hardware was a limitation, more like it just had a particular style. I’m currently playing Octopath Traveler 2 and it completely recreates this feeling, the art is be
