To be honest, I didn't much care for movie going then either, lol. But the wait for some other method for any given movie was considerably longer.

Society itself has changed.

For the shared movie going experience in a theater to be enjoyable, that depends on most people following largely unwritten and unenforceable (except socially) rules. And we mostly don't have that anymore, as a society.

OK, so if you disagree with 99.9% of what I write, tell me do you agree or disagree with this thesis I wrote a year ago about Islam being at war with the rest of Civilization:

this position on the government being 'necessary' evil that needs to be controlled because left to its own devices it causes millions of deaths by war and other means:

this position that government promoting consumption rather than production with 0% interest rate policies, getting off gold standard, laws and taxes leads to economic destruction, that there are no savings anymore
https://slashdot.org/comments....

position that government selecting losers and winners by choosing businesses to fund ends up creating inefficient monopolies (space x comes to mind, but this comment is from 2010)

position that USA is printing the dollar into oblivion, gold is real money and should be used as standard to prevent countries from inflating the money supply, that USA bonds are junk, of-course this was 2013 when USA's debt was around 16Trillion, today it is over 38Trillion, things have gotten worse by a factor greater than 2, the world is getting off the USD standard, using other currencies more, bond yields have at least doubled due to the falling bond price:

You can say whatever you like about my intelligence but if you disagree with 99.9% of my comments you are quite a bit off.

That's not even the problem, the biggest problem is it doesn't reach its own goals. You should be able to use Rust without using Unsafe, otherwise it doesn't solve the problem it claims to solve (or rather, it solves them in a "good enough" fashion, the same as smart pointers in C++ and there's no reason to switch from one to the other).

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.
