I bet people said similar things when high-level languages were replacing assembly.

There is creativity -- you have to be creative in writing prompts.

I do see an issue: the prompts are insufficient to reproduce the final output, but the prompts are the input to the process. We don't use a compiler to create assembly code, then try to maintain the assembly code while discarding the high-level language code. But vibe coding does something similar: discards the most abstract input, while keeping the output of the first stage. Unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, the prompts are not a sufficient input to reproduce the output, so one cannot treat it as the canonical description of the code base.

My personal anecdote is that I have been using Claude recently and it has enabled me to do things that I would not have been able to do. Some of the tasks are writing C++/Qt code and integrating it into the rest of our app's code base. I am not a C++ programmer.

Many people appear to be skeptical of AI's capabilities and I suspect that this limits the potential gains. I was very skeptical about what an AI tool could do for me, but I read an article that gave me the motivation to really try it. My experiments have been successful.

I am going to guess that, initially, she declined a lawyer, thinking that she did not need one: foolishly thinking that the "system would work" and that the police would quickly see their mistake and let her out. Having initially denied needing a lawyer, she wasn't given another opportunity until she was extradited to North Dakota.

You always need a lawyer. Police routinely lie to people in custody -- lying is the primary interrogation technique.

I used to know a British/Canadian citizen who worked at Lawrence Livermore labs, alongside many people who undoubtedly had clearances (probably 'Q' clearances). Every time one of those colleagues talked to him, did they have to report it? Every water cooler discussion about common social topics?

Parent poster is Russian propaganda outlet. Don't expect any truth.

When are you going to talk about the execution of civilians by Russian forces?

Remember when you posted that Mariupol would fall on March 23. Did that happen?

You, like the Russian propaganda you disseminate, have zero credibility.

GP is an outlet for Russian propaganda. Probably paid.

Uber has never made a profit. Uber can only make a profit if the drivers no longer need to be paid -- ie. self-driving cars.

It's possible that Uber could license the technology in the future. It does make it easier for Uber to select a self-driving solution from competing vendors, when such solutions actually exist in a cost-effective manner.

Otherwise, this looks like a short-term grab for cash at the expense of long-term profit.

Only for their own new content

Amazon Prime Video also carries programs from other sources, some of which contain ads.

In Flint, robocalls have been trying to trick people into voting tomorrow (which is not allowed) due to supposedly long lines at polling stations.

When will we hear the results of the investigation of this? </sarcasm>

Funny old thing, seems the same folks squealing about "voter fraud" are the ones actually trying to perpetrate voter fraud.

It's a well known phenomenon called "projection".

How do you think you are going to get gas when the pumps at fuel stations are not operating because there is no power?

The cost of forming an LLC is low. $70 in California.

Then the LLC gets to pay $750 in taxes each year.

A longer running show won't lead to new subscribers perhaps, but cancelling too soon leads to losing the subscribers you already had.

Exactly. Almost no new shows finish the storyline after one season, so why commit to watching a program unless you know that there will be more seasons when Netflix has a history of cancelling?

Long term, fewer views and fewer subscribers.

Perhaps Netflix should invest in mini-series. Series that wrap up the storyline after one season.
