It's a fact that Germany turned off nuclear and subsequently extended the lifetime of brown coal power plants (they still run). Germany has plenty of renewable energy, but that is not a replacement for a steady base supply of power yet

Brown coal power kills that many people in a good year directly, not mentioning the long term health effects of exposure to brown coal smoke (even if filtered).

As opposed to brown coal? Because that's what we got instead, and it's much more deadly, much more radioactive, and the toxic waste it produces is not properly controlled like for nuclear. Of course pollution looks bad when you ha

Might this be because any kind of genuine pentesting, unless it's explicitly been paid for, is highly illegal in countries like Germany (§ 202c StGB, § 202a StGB, etc.)? For example, I'd be more than happy to pentest some govt web

Phew, good to know LLMs still can't make a good product or market it properly. Yes, people will buy it--if that's your standard for "good product", you should apply to Google :)

No who you replied to, but practice. Deliberate practice; not just writing the same apps over and over, but instead challenging yourself with new projects. Build things from scratch, from documentation or standards alone. Force yourself to

No, it's always bad. It's just on a spectrum of how competent is the viewer (you and me) to notice how bad it is. It's all shit, the question is whether you are skilled and experienced enough to tell.

I fail to think of a successful Rust rewrite, so far what I've seen is just programmers who aren't sufficiently experienced, who decide to pick Rust and rewrite something in it, and then (this is the bad part) claim it's bett

You forgot "make no mistakes" and "don't hallucinate" and "don't delete any important files" as well, those are important. I found that, without that, Claude makes too many critical mistakes.

I'm not dismissing it, I'm saying it's never been the bottleneck. Like you said, the feedback loop is A bottleneck, so is figuring out all the nasty things that nobody on HN seems to have heard of before, like "what are

If writing code was the only part of the job, and it was easy, these jobs wouldn't pay so well. Engineering is hard. It's always going to be hard. I'm glad that AI makes some parts of it easier, and we (software engineers) ca

It's more that I and people I know love Rust, and enjoy it, and want it to be better. I want it to be relentlessly optimized.

I think Rust has a pretty solid async implementation, compared to other systems languages. I struggle to point out another systems language with a working and actually used async implementation.

Well, to be fair, in e.g. Codex you can invoke a skill directly, with $my-skill, and this WILL lead to the skill being injected into the context. At that point, the LLM follows the skill as well as it follows any other part of the prompt, i

Tell me you've never worked with system languages without telling me you've never worked with system languages (telling claude to "write it in Rust" does not count).
