Comment Coding will proper-die in about 5 years-ish (Score 1) 107

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) 92

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...

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.

Comment MAGA (Score 1, Insightful) 89

It's vital to get someone on the moon before the elections in 2028 so that we can elect another tribalist lunatic. We need people to say "hey we are on the moon, so who cares if we're enslaved by a bunch of billionaires and trillionaires, who cares if they're deporting our friends and neighbors, who cares if there are homeless and people living paycheck to paycheck?"
