How does one replace ERP / ERM frameworks? Is is even possible to write your own app with forms and data reports with a modern programming language as Rust?
Comment AI does not make Developers obsolete (Score 1) 63
AI make development more efficient and effective but the classic problem in development is not lack of people but lack of development progress.
If doubt that you can be able to lay off people, you just have to deal with more code to shape and scrutinise.
Take software maintainers as an example. You need more human maintainers to deal with the AI slop of reputation farming, not less.
Sooner or later the AI LLM market will collapse on the financial market but we will continue to need programmers that use AI.
The counter argument would be like C is more easier to code as assembler, so C led to assembler coder layoffs.
And we heard it before, about RAD assisted coding, in fact we only needed more and more developers.

It is really sad what happened to the product. A prime example of what Cory Doctorow calls enshittification. there needs to be a harder push for open source apps, so we could stop the trend of products thea go down the drain and improve the security of services.
It was a really cool platform for making dating related personality tests and nerd around with other users, and then things happened.

I wonder why Microsoft does not go 100% open source for windows apps, as to ensure that customers are not exposed to "enshittification" risks of their favourite apps by suboptimal cloud and AI inclusions or product upgrades. These days you cannot be sure that your favourite app will be available in two years time. WIN 11 is already so much worse than Win 10.

Submission + - OnlyOffice CEO objects Euro-Office license changes (onlyoffice.com)
Elektroschock writes: Lev Bannov of OnlyOffice is concerned about the Euro-Office inclusion of Onlyoffice with trade marks removed: "We liked the AGPL v3 license because its 7th clause allows us to ensure that our code retains its original attributes, so that users are able to clearly identify the developers and the brand behind the program.". Euro-Office is a more comprehensive office productivity package of IONOS which aims to challenge Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspaces offerings in Europe.
Submission + - Google clamps down on Android developers with mandatory verification (nerds.xyz)
BrianFagioli writes: Google is rolling out mandatory developer verification for Android apps, and while it says the move is about security, it also means developers will now have to verify their identity and register apps with Google before they can be easily installed on devices. Google claims sideloaded apps contain far more malware than apps from the Play Store, but critics might argue this is another step toward tighter control over the Android ecosystem. Power users can still sideload using ADB or a new “advanced flow,” but Google is clearly adding friction to anything outside its system. Is this a reasonable security measure, or is Android slowly becoming less open than it used to be?
Comment Re:Bodes ill for Wikipedia (Score 1) 52
This is an interesting observation, but not entirely false. There are edits on Wikipedia that basically amount to "wiki link every word in the article". IMHO this could well be in violation of potential laws against algorithms. I'm not sure if Wikipedia should get a pass because it is "free" or whatever.

Gemini 3.1 Pro: 0.37%
GPT 5.4: 0.26%
Opus 4.6: 0.25%
Grok-4.20: 0.00%
François Chollet just released ARC-AGI-3 — the hardest AI test ever created.
135 novel game environments. No instructions. No rules. No goals given.
Figure it out or fail.
Untrained humans solved every single one. Every frontier AI model scored below 1%.
Each environment was handcrafted by game designers. The AI gets dropped in and has to explore, discover what winning looks like, and adapt in real time.
The scoring punishes brute force. If a human needs 10 actions and the AI needs 100, the AI doesn't get 10%. It gets 1%. You can't throw more compute at this.
For context: ARC-AGI-1 is basically solved. Gemini scores 98% on it. ARC-AGI-2 went from 3% to 77% in under a year. Labs spent millions training on earlier versions.
ARC-AGI-3 resets the entire scoreboard to near zero.
Abstract and more here.

fjo3 writes: Since its release in late 2022, OpenAI has become one of the world’s most valuable start-ups, raising tens of billions of dollars and making Sam Altman, its chief executive, one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent figures.
But even as it breaks records, OpenAI is facing questions about whether the vast sums investors have ploughed into the company will ever be repaid.
Some have even speculated that the poster child of the AI boom could run out of cash and potentially bring down much of the US tech sector with it.
