Spicy autocomplete indeed.

Chuckle.

AI is real. The implications of this are not priced in.

It's the difference between a communist state where the government is forcing their people to head in the correct direction on this and a democracy where the people are choosing the wrong one time and time again.

I'm all for democracy. That's why I'm hoping its citizens will improve enough for it to survive.

We have codex 5.4 performing all IC2-3 tasks now with a higher success rate.

Laughing is about to stop.

Have a plan.

Indeed. And yet Stephen Miller is still gonna have a tremendous fit. Probably more so.

OK. But I'm pretty sure that generation could have gone to the moon 11 years after without the spousal abuse as well.

I've used Sonnet 4.5 most days for almost everything recently. However, last week it got stuck on a problem. So I took a screenshot of the issue (was a math error that led to a visualization issue) and gave it to Opus 4.6 with 2 sentences of prompt. 28 minutes later O4.6 reasoned itself to the correct root cause and fix. Game changing moment for me. It figured out the issue from a screenshot. But i also gave O4.6 another problem and it chewed on it in circles for half an hour and hit me for 16x usage requests even though i only asked it one question. I put the same question back to S4.5 and it figured it out quickly.

Go read some history, you'll find these same articles.

I just completely automated most of our IC2 and IC3 network engineering processes with GPT agents.

Not redid; the AI executes the same workflows and tools better, cheaper, and faster. Compressing months of work to two weeks.

It's real.

Seriously, it's funny.

The music is good too.

Apparently a lot of other people do too.

Political leaning and desire for children is heritable.

The left will elect themselves out of the population pool in time. It will accelerate as more people choose more traditional values and family structures.

The state needs immigration to counter this effect, but they didn't move fast enough in America.

Races are not competing teams you neo-Nazi moron. Wake up.

There was a whole world war regarding this. The idiots fighting for the broken ideals you are espousing were eventually granted the death and suffering they deserved. There were lessons that most of us have taken to heart and then moved on. Why useless fools such as yourself still exist given all we know is beyond me.

The problem black people have with the statement, "It's OK to be white" is not because they don't think it's OK to be white. It's the implication that there's some big movement saying it's not OK to be white, with the demographic holding the majority of power playing the victim. It's the same mentality as neo-Nazis claiming that white people are at risk of being "replaced".

I don't see any issue with me being white myself. But I was never deluded enough to think that made me part of some team that had to be defended, or else.

One of the things you should have said is that you never believed in this country in the first place. People have the right to be Communists. Regardless of your negative views of them, regardless of whether those views are correct. An important part of democracy is allowing people to believe and act as they feel fit under the law - even in things you don't like.

This is the end, my friend.

I was close to retirement anyway. There isn't going to be another generation of people with the skills I have outside of hobbyists. They're just not needed anymore.

My first year tuition was $1500 CAD in 1994.

By the time I had graduated it was up to $4000 or so. I think it's $8-9k now. Decent school, not elite, but engineering is still altruistic and it doesn't matter that much if you're skilled.

Bought me labor mobility to USA and would be worth doing at 10x the cost.

There are few circumstances where a liberal studies degree is going to give you a return of any kind.. and the library is free.

Great tips. After a couple months of pretending to be a software engineer, I've come to nearly the same conclusions, especially #1. The only thing AI is going to replace in the short term is junior devs (which is going to create a lack of experienced devs in the future). The tools cannot just magically create good software from nothing, but they are the best damn auto-complete you can imagine. This is already showing to be game changer for experienced devs who know what they want and know what 'good' looks like.
