Comment Coding will proper-die in about 5 years-ish (Score 1) 76

What companies will require is articulate people, who can tell the AI exactly what is needed. "Here's our budget (is it good enough?), here's our existing codebase, this is what we need. Get it done, fix any bugs or prior bad architectural decisions, use the highest industry standards for everything with these unique twists if they are secure. Let me, with a BS in basket weaving, peruse the plan and give you the OK."

Note: in 5 years, 90% of that line I typed would be implied obvious and not even needed in the prompt.

Comment vi is the best editor (Score 5, Funny) 81

I don't mean to spoil emacs big day and all, and I'll let you guys talk about it .. but vi is the best editor. emacs couldn't anticipate the coming of AI .. pretty much a settled debate now that vi is much more suited for prompt writing and editing your .md files.

Comment Re:Alternative to SpaceX (Score 1) 15

Bezos started Blue Origin a few years before SpaceX. In fact Elon asked him for advice. Blue Origin moved at a glacial pace though. But all the concepts such as reusable rockets were already in Blue Origins plans. Reference: https://patents.google.com/pat...
As for Starlink we know that idea was either an obvious thing or taken from WorldVu when they went to SpaceX for launch services. https://spacenews.com/41755wor...

"Point us to an post about a guy given a job he is clearly unqualified"

That's literally my point -- the post isn't about the person in charge of the ministry! It's about them testing Collabora and the users just having too many issues with it. I guarantee if it was the same exact story and the minister had a male name none of you would have done this deep dive and criticism.

And why do you think she is unqualified? The Minister of Digitization doesn't need to be an expert on digitization, they need to be competent at high-level management and understanding how laws and policies work. Did she do something wrong? Would someone else have somehow convinced the 37 or however many employees who tested it not to hate it?

While this is true, being the subject of an experiment to see what happens when you do that is not something most people would choose for themselves. It's not *irrational* to be concerned. Absence of evidence on a largely unexplored question like microplastic infiltration in human bodies is not the moral equivalent of absence of evidence in an extensively studied question like a vaccine-autism link.

While it's true every issue has its own dimension, even if those dimensions are linearly independent, they're not necessarily orthogonal. Independent basis vectors can still have a non-zero dot product—in other words, issues which are distinct from each other can align to some degree.

I agree, but they have a card to play when it comes to scale and sequencing. They can take a huge batch of cells, revert them, and let them multiply. From there, they can just sequence the daughter cells and cherry-pick the lineage that has the fewest mutations in dangerous oncogenic areas.

It's not perfect and it's expensive, but it might be better than what some patient is dying from.
