Even more reason to ask the question, then. Not even three years but we know it leads to x% productivity increases, happy teams, etc, etc. We know the buzzwords. If a new, wonder drug or food or medicinal plant would appear on the radar w

At my work, we've been using AI since its beginnings. The company offers free subscriptions to every person, sw dev, qa, marketing, anyone. I'd say 9/10 people are using and writing code with it. I've seen no actual impr

It's about the careful wording, about who gets to be on the spotlight, about who gets to call the other side a tyrant, an evil state, about saying things like "regime change" and no-one batting an eye. Slowly, but surely, you

I still cannot get over the fact that we, in Europe, have banned RT on the grounds that it is a publication sponsored by a "foreign" government and, as such, it cannot be trusted. For one, so many publications here in Europe are

Nice that you're mentioning it. I've seen this piece today from Bloomberg, "Call Center Workers Are Tired of Being Mistaken for AI." https://archive.ph/rB2Rg

Well, yes, an often heard, and reasonable argument. But then what happens in a reasonably sized C project is that other tools are brought in to fill the gaps. Tools like code generators (see some other comments on this post), for example, w

If we're naming names, for me personally, Lisp in Small Pieces by Christian Queinnec tops my Lisp books list. But, yes, only after perusing the SICP and The Little Schemer first. "Liberal arts," nice :)

I find it is a real challenge to come up with a good title. On the one hand it should, probably, convey to the potential reader something about the contents of the article, on the other hand it should be something to differentiate it from t

The solution, which I often seen in practice, is to eventually write code generators, which is what Lisp macros are, after all. I've seen it in C and wrote a big piece about it that was posted here some time ago[1], about the extra to

If we would really have a chance to ask an official, whomever that may be, either from government or the tech companies, the (scripted) answer would probably go like this: By 2030, AI will make revolutionary advancements in water management

Had I decided to call it quits, I would have probably asked myself, even to this day, questions like: did I make the right choice, what if things would have improved, what would have happened if I've tried harder, maybe there was just

I don't wanna name and blame the country, and I didn't do it in the article as I don't think it matters that much, but the other replies are correct in their assumption, is all I can say.

Yes, fifteen years after the fact, during which time my mind constantly bombards me with, "Why did I happen? Did I do something wrong? It was not fair! I did my best!" and such, I can't help it but write in in a humorous ma

I agree with the other comment. Ignore them all, go with the fundamentals. Heck, ask chatgpt what do they think are the fundamental ideas in computer science and go from there. Look for classic books written on those subjects. There have be

It would probably be fair or "normal" if for every pro-article, regardles of the subject, there would be room for the contrary opinion, for the downsides. That would inject some dose of realism into the discussion. Otherwise the j
