Strongly disagree. I know my codebase well, I know what I'm expecting before I ask Claude to do it, and I tell it what I'm expecting. I might tell it roughly what I want, have it make a plan, review the plan and ask for changes if

That's what I do and expect my colleagues to do. Even before LLMs I was reviewing my own PRs before submitting them to others. I still do that. I work closely with Claude to create something good that I'm happy with, then I review

If I had edited the comment you would see an "edited" tag on it. I'll do it on this one. Edited to add this. Nevermind, there's no tag now. That's strange, I could swear that's a thing. Maybe I edited too early

Well sure, if it's already proven why wouldn't I use it? The AI we currently have can't do that though. The AI we currently have is a glorified chatbot. It can't fabricate anything and I doubt it could even reliably desi

Not unless humans were able to produce the medicine or perform the surgery or whatever is necessary to actually heal someone. In order for that to happen it has to be verified and understood by humans, like the other commenter said.

He gave up his life in the US to tell the people what the gov is doing. It's not like he then went and said hey Putin need some help destroying America? He just fled because otherwise the US would throw him in a hole for the rest of hi

If I had seen the steel version I would have considered it. But all I see is strawmen, as far as the eye can see. An ocean of strawmen, with a few steel islands here and there.

Yeah, it is extremely sad. It's why we're currently in the process of going extinct. We, as a species, know what we should be doing. But what we should be doing is not what we are doing, because what we are doing depends on the po

Yeah, it's not actionable. I can't fix the fact that most people are stupid. But it does provide some minor amount of comfort. It explains why the world is as it is. It explains why the most powerful nation in the world is current

Yeah, exactly. But many people vehemently believe vaccines are dangerous and so on. Similarly, a common talking point right now are data centers and their power and water usage. Just yesterday I was told that AI data centers pollute more th

No, it's not just me. There's a lot of people who are much more intelligent than me, in many ways. But if you grab an average person off the street they're overwhelmingly likely to be pretty daft and not know much about anyth

I watch a lot og gaming videos on youtube, often of new indie games to see if I want to play them. Some creators will use AI-generated thumbnails that look nothing like the actual game, and before I recognize them and ignore that creator, t

In my world view, the phrase "People are stupid" explains almost everything. Very few people are actually able to think for themselves. The vast majority are basically just sheep, they think whatever the media, their colleagues, f

I mean if you really use all of that stuff every single year then sure I guess you need the space but my experience is that the majority of people with space issues simply have a crapload of trash they never use and never will use but don&#

If you have a house with a garage and you still don't have enough space for your stuff then you have too much stuff.

Here's a thought. Imagine roughly 5% of available apartments are in renovated old buildings. I don't know what the real figure is, doesn't matter I just assume it's significantly lower than newly built apartments. Now al

That's not what I meant by other markets. I meant other products, though you could also make a cheaper version of the same product which I've already mentioned.

If they don't actually do that, given "infinite" time, then it doesn't matter what they allegedly "can" do.

by sfn42 11d ago
Then you scale back a bit and keep making consistent money, just a bit less. The only way things go completely to shit is when you enshittify your product and nobody wants it any more. Or you could expand to other markets, lots of options t

Or you could just be happy to have a profitable company that makes money consistently. Shavers don't last for ever and new people grow up every day. You could also just launch a new product line that's cheaper without compromising

Yeah, obviously your average React app has no need to render anywhere near that frequently. The ones I've worked on will generally only render as a response to user action, server event or polling. I'm just saying they can rende

I don't have any actual experience with React Native and Electron, but with that caveat out of the way I personally think tools get far too much blame that should be on developers. For an example that I actually have experience with, R

For me it's insanely much faster. Maybe 5-10x depending on the task. One thing I do is try to keep prompting. I do take time to look at the code and think if I need it, but when I'm unsure of what to do I use the LLM to help me wo
