I think what most people answering in this thread who are saying something like "10x" are missing is that this number does probably not apply to their overall productivity. Sure, some boilerplate task that took you 10 min of writi

FWIW, I am not American and I don't live in the US. But yes, you are right of course. For some part of this group. But there are also many immigrants who can afford to speak up, because they are not necessarily refugees who would get d

But that's exactly wrong. The people have the power, but only if enough people resist.

Both things can be true. They can be safer, but at the same time Waymo can still externalize stuff to the public...

The most effective way of decreasing traffic deaths is safer driving laws, as the recent example of Helsinki has shown. That and better public transportation infrastructure. If you think that a giant, private, for-profit company cares about

They probably do, they just don't give a shit. It's still the "move fast and break things" mindset. Internalize profits but externalize failures to be carried by the public. Will there be legal consequences for Waymo (i.

So, hypothetically, if I were to say that the Israeli government is committing genocide and Trump is a fascist, would they not let me in? Well, I don't want to travel to the US while it's reigned by a fascist government anyways, s

Me, I do support it. Now you know somebody. And you should go look up the definition of censorship.

I know Germans like to complain, but the ICE network is still one of the best in Europe, especially given its size. That does not mean that we shouldn't invest more money into improving it. But I would not count it as a lost cause. Hop

This is always the same age-old discussion: Can you separate the art from the arists? And unsurprisingly, different people have different views on it. Even if you disagree, you should be able to understand why people don't want to use

This is true, but it started way earlier than AI with software development though. A lot of software developers' job is just being ticket monkies, adding small things or fixing bugs for a huge company that nobody cares about. The alien

How beautifully put, and I couldn't agree more. I feel exactly the same way. However, I am still unconvinced that software development will go down this way. But if woking as a software developer will require managing multiple agents a

Dude, why not just do it yourself if you have to micromanage the LLM this hardcore?

> low performers trying to run for cover Oh no, you've caught me. On a serious note: LoC can be useful in certain cases (e.g. to estimate the complexity of a code base before you dive in, even though it's imperfect here, too)

Lines of codes is not a measure of anything meaningful on its own. The mere fact that you suggest this as prove that you are more productive makes me think you are not.
