It's pretty clear you're lying.

After a few failures, I generally give up using an LLM and look elsewhere.

Always P=NP is true for some subset of the problem.

Every time I see someone talking about AI being a junior developer, I am quite certain they have never worked with a junior developer.

You are accusing MIT of committed scientific fraud. You better have evidence if you're going to accuse someone of that.

But you don't. You didn't even read the paper. You're just an asshole.

Most of the Indian H1B visa holders I've worked with have been pretty good at their job.

I've come to accept that this as true, and further conjecture that bloat is often a corporate/institutional goal.

This seems to be a joke, but in reality corporate incentives are aligned to make things more bloated. If you're a manager, then the more people you have under you, the more power you have. This means you want your people to go slower so you have to hire more of them.

I don't have a solution but there must be one.

There were two "bad blocks," and both have been recovered.

Fair enough. In a line-disciplined clock, the accuracy is contingent *only* on setting it correctly *once.*

But back to my original point: what kind of moron can't set their alarm clock once?

I really do think coding using AI tools is a bit faster, at least it seems that way to me. As most of the morning but lengthy work can be done faster by AI.

But I am also pretty sure it's VERY easy to rapidly incur technical debt, especially if you are telling AI to review its own work. Yeah it will do some stuff but who is to say post review fixes it's really better?

More than ever I think the right approach to coding with AI is to build up carefully crafted frameworks that are solid (maybe use AI to help but review and tests very carefully) then allow AI to build on top of solid fundamental structures that you know are solid, and do not let the AI modify those - maybe let it ask for feature requests.

The key here is that it helps, but it can't replace you. Not that I care whether you get replaced, but there are a couple trillion bubble bux riding on whether you can be replaced, so it's a big deal.

Back in the bad old days, $20 radio shack alarm clocks would be synched to the line frequency.

It's a thing you don't notice until it's gone. Bought one that runs off a USB power brick a while back and it lost hours after a few months. And it's not like stable oscillators are expensive. A $5 wristwatch will keep good time. Someone just cheaped out real stupid.

My coffee maker too. Keeps horrible time. No excuses since it's literally plugged into 60hz AC to run the heater strip.

well clearly many of your positions are incorrect if you disagree with me 99.9% of the time as you said, that is because it is impossible statistically for me to be incorrect 99.9% of the time, I couldn't achieve that result if I put all my effort into it.

disagreeing with me on anything does not invalidate my positions nor does it make you right in any way, I do not know why it was important for you to add that to your reply, it actually implies that many of your positions are incorrect and it does not increase the chances that my position on flock cameras is more or less valid. My positions pretty much always align with each other because they are all derived from the assertion that maximizing individual freedoms is the most important goal for human life.

I do not think anyone argues that these cameras are not useful to find someone, whatever the reason. Maximum security prisons are also very effective for this purpose. Do you want to live as if you are in one?
