I don't see an issue here. You keep using AI to create high value contributions in the projects that accept it, I will keep not using it in mine, and we can see who wins out in 10 years.

If you can't read code and don't understand the codebase, you have no business anywhere near a text editor. I work with a PM that's also learning to program. I assume just like you, they probably feel they'll otherwise w

If you want evil megacorps to give you money when they use your thing, maybe say "if you're an evil megacorp you have to give me money when you use my thing" in the license? If your license reads "hey, you can use this h

Why do you suppose consciousness is a prerequisite for an AI to be able to act in overly self-preserving or other dangerous ways? Yes, it's trained to imitate its training data, and that training data is lot of words written by lots of

Anonymous internet forums will very likely die out if inference gets another order of magnitude cheaper. The only solutions are (1) private forums, (2) strict verification or maybe (3) some sort of "web of trust" thing, if someone

Never ask a woman her age or a vibe coder to show you an useful program they've written.

Given that this is the one problem that neither scientists nor philosophers have made any progress on in 3000 years, we don't have the tools to begin tackling it and nobody is making serious attempts, it may very well be impossible.

We'll see. I'm leaning on "it's all a big joke" until I see at least one impressive result from these supercharged 1000x builders. Be that a useful, novel piece of software that enables me to do something I couldn&#

Don't fall for the "JS ecosystem" trap and use sane tools. If a floobergloob requires you to add a floobergloob.config.js to your project root that's a very good indicator floobergloob is not worth your time. The only bo

Leaf code. Anything that you won't have to build upon long-term and is not super mission critical. Data visualizers, dashboards, internal tools. Pretty much everywhere where a 80% working tool is better than no tool, and without AI the

Big tech recommendation algorithms optimize for time spent on platform, and the easiest and safest way to do that is to show you content very similar to (or literally the same) as what you've clicked before. I don't see why you ca

"I don't like having my time wasted" does not imply anything about one's skill in a field. It's not 1995. Most of the internet is noise, and if you're showcasing something it's good form to immediately sho

At 8 years I recycled filesystem directories. I didn't know you can create new folders, so when I needed one I grabbed a random one from C:\Windows, moved it to my desktop and deleted its contents.

This does feel like something a super smart alien pretending to be an 8 year old would write.

I'm aware. What I meant is this is a reasonable output for a 1:1 translation by hand, without LLM use.

by nananana9 8mo ago
I'm not sure 25,000 lines translated in 2 weeks is "fast", for a naive translation between languages as similar as C++ and Rust (and Ladybird does modern RAII smart-pointer-y C++ which is VERY similar to Rust). You should eas

Yeah, no. The actual solution is 1. Stop requiring computers/phones for everything. Your 91 year old grandma isn't going to make her way through your super cool very intuitive 2FA magic link email confirmation system, and I don&#x

I'll give you the last bullet you missed, you're also giving up the { [3] = ..., [5] = ... } array initializer syntax. I like both these syntax-es (syntacies? synticies?) and I hope they make their way to C++, but if we're ho

Well, I'll take them over the nothing you're giving me :D But in all seriousness, I want this: struct Result { int value; int err; }; #define TRY(res) \ ({ \ Result _res = res; \ if (failed(res)) return res

Everyone reading this (you included) knows full well that unlike Zig/Rust/Odin/whatever, C++ has the special property that you can quite literally* write C code in it, AND you can implement whatever quality of life fixes you

You don't have to wait, you can write them a "skill"!

Still, please standardize them :). I don't use much C but if you add them to the standard they'll probably trickle down to C++ compilers by 2045 and I'll have a good 10 years to use them before I retire.

I took some shit in the comments yesterday for suggesting "you can do it with a few lines of standard C++" to another similar thread, but yet again here we are. Defer takes 10 lines to implement in C++. [1] You don't have to

Still requires a gcc/clang specific extension (although this one I'd be very happy to see standardized)
