Perhaps to make it more obvious which one is in use? String and &String look a lot more alike than String and &str.

I suspect it's the same reason Java has Integer and int - so that it's very obvious whether you're working with an Object or a primitive.

Fourth decade here. Up until a few months ago I would have agreed with virtually all of the negative comments in here, but after a re-org I am now on a team supporting multiple AI products, and have become immersed in anything AI, including vibe coding.

For vibe coding, I've had mixed results, but I want to make a couple of important points. First, the whole vibe-coding landscape is evolving very quickly. New IDEs and CLI tools are being announced almost daily. Second, the backend architecture of these tools is also evolving very quickly. Support for MCPs (which, for example, the LLM can use to retrieve info it doesn't have internally) can eliminate a lot of hallucinations and result in higher quality results. Many of the tools now have backends that get a request, analyze it, and then delegate to an appropriate specialist LLM that is faster and provides better results than having one giant monolithic LLM that tries to do everything, i.e., Jack of all trades, master of none.

From what I've seen so far, the keys to successful vibe coding are learning the tool you're using and understanding its strengths and weaknesses, and learning how to write good prompts. Since each tool has its own strengths and weaknesses, it's good to understand when to use one vs. another for a given task. You may find that one tool is great for producing a one-shot throwaway utility, while another is best for building a website with an attractive and easy-to-use UI.

Let's not forget that GPT 3.5, the model used when openai first released chatgpt, only came out 3 years ago. We're still very early in the evolution of generative AI.

You bought an Aztek? What was your previous car, a Pacer?

I'm finding more and more hallucinations coming from AI every day. I asked multiple LLMs for a configuration file for some software, and they all made stuff up that didn't exist. For example, one result told me to use a specific plugin to achieve what I wanted because it was designed just for that purpose. Problem was, that plugin doesn't exist. Even the same LLM would come back and tell me there was no such thing.

That whole "the IRS is targeting conservatives" rhetoric is pure propaganda. Reality is that the IRS targeted people who publicly posted things like "the IRS is unconstitutional" or "I don't believe in paying income taxes". It shouldn't be a surprise that most of them are right-wing nutjobs.

And for decades thereafter Republican politicians pushed for cheap overseas labor to help their corporate donors increase profits, and whenever Democrats objected to try to keep American factory workers employed, they were called "protectionist" as if protecting American jobs was a bad thing. Now the Republicans want to take credit for the notion of bringing back the jobs that they eliminated.

The first iPhone also had visual voicemail, which was completely new and innovative and a vast improvement over the existing approach.

It also introduced swiping and other gestures like pinch to zoom. Apple didn't invent these things, but Blackberrys and the original Android phones still used physical buttons for scrolling. I don't think the original Androids even had a touchscreen.

And you left out an absolutely absurd claim by the parent poster: "The last actual innovation that came from tech was a smartphone."

The Apple Magic Trackpad would have been a better choice at $129, because it offers Force Touch technology, which means that when you desperately push hard at the top of the pad while screaming "GO UP! GO UP!!!!!" it could tell the display to pop up a window that says "System Malfunction. Please contact administrator".

Update: The Mac Studio requires an IPSW restore after changing its SSD modules to ensure that they are readable and able to boot. Running a Device Firmware Update (DFU) restore using the macOS IPSW package for the Mac Studio should enable the machine to boot from a different SSD, providing that both of the modules are of the same size and make, meaning that storage upgrades still appear to be feasible.

It is true that mere data is not copyrightable, but for map makers, representing that data is creative expression. Font choice/size, line types, size and map colors etc are all creative works that the map maker uses to make the data useful. Thus maps are copyrightable, but the underlying data is not.

The title seems to say that I, as a US taxpayer, had to *pay* for these movies somehow. That is simply not true. What I have to pay in taxes is not affected in anyway by how anyone else either pays or dosn't pay their taxes, our tax code is simply not written like that. It's not like the IRS says "well we are missing 5 billion from ViacomCBS, so you'll need to kick in an extra 10k to cover it" No that's not how it works at all, it's flat out wrong to even suggest that.

How much money the government spends and how much it takes in revenue is completely divorced and neither have any kind of bearing on the other. Just look at the current US debt and each spending bill that comes up. No one cares one bit if the government spending can actually be covered by tax revenue.
