Non-profit executives are even more capable and better situated to "raid donations" or change the direction of the mission, and can do so a lot easier when there is no organized labor force to push back against it.

I am very confident that editor is the direction I want coding to go. I really encourage you to consider picking it up again. Debugging complex graphs of function calls is not going away quite yet.

It's simple. AI companies don't have a long term plan besides "sell AI" and "reduce labor costs with AI". Any promises made outside of that are simply them saying whatever they think will help to sell AI.

But what commercial software licenses are you using to write backend server architecture for a video game? There's no need for a dependency on FMOD or anything (unless you're doing something very unusual)

Not OP, but it means nothing, because it's not "effectively" becoming a compiler. Think about it from an information theory standpoint: A compiler takes at least the exact amount of information it needs to produce a result,

The difference is never before has the presentation of a computer and its capabilities made the person on the other end decide "Wow, this is like talking to a real person. I'm gonna date this computer"

Okay. What's your easy to adopt, easy to understand replacement word for "Safety" in this case?

We as a society should weight the cost/benefits of new technologies like this. What is the actual benefit of gigantic AI data centers? Is that worth the costs of the data centers to the power grid

We can't have nice things because people don't want power hungry polluting data centers in their backyards?

Probably yes, but let's hope not

Not necessarily, C#'s incremental source generators mean you could simply slap an attribute onto a class you want to use the non-boxing pattern with, and it'll just generate the pattern for you.

Very good to hear that!

Yeah I also don't really write commit messages. If your pull request becomes associated with that commit, and the history gets squashed, then that one commit becomes a link to the pull request where all the necessary info is. I just wr

Agreed, the thing I'd be most interested in is the isolated execution environment you mentioned. Agents running autopilot are powerful. Agents running unsupervised on a machine with developer permissions and certificates where anythin

That is not the same situation. Writing is a thing we do to communicate with other people, and to engage our own thinking. It's creative, it's exploratory, and it's a human-to-human practice. It is a top-level abstraction.

I cannot choose entirely hand-made code, I don't think I'll even be able to choose 50% hand-made code, because my manager will say "why aren't you just using the 3D Wood Printer 9000? Jeff is building house frames 5x fas

Woodworking analogy for AI is not "power tools vs handsaw", its "power tools vs. wood 3D printer". You don't do any of the creating, you only ideate and allow the machine to do all the creating. It's simply not

This is exactly how I feel. I knew it already to an extent from my time in college, but so many people come into this industry because they want to be able to produce the end product, or just have a stable job that makes good money. Neither

It's legislation to prevent the regulation of AI and data centers. Yes, that's a bad thing

Writing an efficient garbage collector in a garbage collected language is actually very funny to me. Neat project!

> October 7th happened. This is a weird thing to say to me. You're saying that keeping sanctions on Iran is important to prevent another October 7 because Iran was funding Hamas? Okay, but then wouldn't it be better to put sanc

Let me be clear, I am making only one very specific argument: Linux Mint is not as user friendly as people say. I'm not putting any blame on anyone for it not being user friendly, I am not saying that Mint must be a perfect OS replacem

You're slightly missing the point. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter to me, the end user, whose fault it is that my OS doesn't have codecs. The problem is that when doing an extremely basic operation that works on every sy
