The state laws could be unconstitutional due to interstate commerce. However, the Feds should regulate it thoroughly. Enviromental, National Security, etc

There should be a national level effort like the Manhattan project. Companies should be working together under goverment oversight, and working toward a common goal. Maybe that will keep a AI apocalyse away for a bit. maybe protect us from it?

I know my opinion is in the minority. The future is starting to scare more than usual.

At this stage, we're all learning. (not that we ever stop), Vibe coding can be great for learning if the dev is taking time to understand what's being done. But I fear too many are taking the easy path and just writing a prompt and shipping. That's not safe for any environment, let alone production. Some time in the future it may be better. We'll have the proper guide rails for AI, the proper testing paths, and overall reviews. Right now isn't that time. If you want stable, efficient code, which you definitely do for Production and kernel maintenance, AI isn't ready. It's not any more ready than self-driving cars. Can they do it? Sure, would you trust them in every situation? probably not. That "Probably, not" is what gets you killed. Or Panics the kernel, or crashes the DB....etc.

Linus is a smart guy, I might not agree with everything he implements, but for the Linux kernel, I can say I never felt like he went in the wrong direction.

I'm sure this discussion will continue. It's not a once-and-done. But as newer and better coding systems come online, they'll need to be tested and verified, and eventually we may get something that passes the test. It's already miles ahead of where we were only 10 years ago. I can't predict how we'll be next year.

He's saying we're in a bubble?

thought so.

They'd make my life a little easier, in some respects. Shipping to EU now is a bitch. They want it all done "in continent", so selling US book version to EU markets requires a shit ton of devotion. It can be done, I've seen it recently. but it's a lot of work.

Digital? damn, no freaking production or change of ownership issues. Just 1's and 0's. Royalties, stay, billing gets simpler.

The only problem we have now is digital is growing and while the actual process is simple, the volume of it, becomes fun.

either way though I get paid. As long as people keep reading and writing. Thank you, Johannes Gutenberg!

2006 is the Freshmen college class. 2008 isn't for 2 more years.

The decline started before the crash

You're absolutely correct.

Probably, if they used the blunt language, people would actually start paying attention and want changes to the investment process. But the word salad obfuscates the issue enough that people's eyes gloss over, and they move on. So the Status Quo is protected.

Using Warp terminal, it actually nice for a non-admin to ask questions to Claude and get some really helpful work.

I do not know every in and out of Linux server config, my day job doesn't depend on that I do. So I can connect up, ask Claude, "is this service running?" or " My plex server isn't responding, can we run some diagnostics?"

Is it perfect? No, is it better than me? Oh god yes. Is my system a mission critical server? Not in the slightest.

But its fun, I actually can get a working docker server, a secure ssh client, mailcow, plex, jellyfin, factorio....hell what else can I load. If I run into issues I ask Claude, and it can step me thru the correction, or just do it.

It has no idea what I want to do, it has no idea my end goal, but I say conquer that hill, its been doing it's best to do it. The campaign it doesn't know or care. Perfect little helper.

I don't have a subscription to Warp's services yet. They give a limited amount of tokens to Claude monthly, which seems fine to me. Only had 1 month run out. Which for non-production systems...is fine. I can wait. I'm am considering subscribing, it's just been dang helpful.

Coding? Haven't done it seriously yet, I typically code on an ERP system, that is just starting with AL/MLL stuff. Haven't gotten to far. But with server support, it's making me have fun, "hows this work? can we check this?" and there's no judgement on my actions as to why? For personal stuff, this is great.

For production environments, I'd worry. I don't use it at work. I asked the software team to check it out to see if we could, so it's on the list. But I'd want to be sure of security. some nooby could ask some server destroying question and try to implement, sure sudo should stop most, but there always seems to be one file or config that slips past, so I'de be a bit concerned till it proved itself there.

For the love of all that matters, don't make the mistake the US did, fix it now before it's too late.

That's a positive spin on this for sure. What would we need high-level extraction, if no one was looking at the code. Even then, you probably could have the AI take the Assembly or Machine Code, and spt out the C++ or Rust Equivalent code, readable even.

Me personally, I want to write code, but it would be nice to have AI that helped with optimizing the code I produce. I know why I need it, future cases, it has no idea, but it would be able to tell me if my use of some data type would better if used another way or another data type would fit better.

I like it as a helper, not the primary. do the monkey work, the boiler plate. Answer some off the wall questions.

Maybe it can be a better compiler that the compilers we have now? doubt it currently, but who knows...

Sorry for the ramble, thank for coming to my Ted Talk, (as my 12 year old says)

God, it would make the interfaces better, and slow down the name changes.. Every 6 months they change the name of a platform. is it Xi, PI, PI/PO, CPI, BPG, etc etc.

Even in the same freaking version...

Bowling league doesn't take cards.

that's pretty much the only place.

Custom out the wazoo...

You want configurable... Elevators are at like the max.

Poundage: standard 1500, 4000 or 5000# hospital car?
Traction or tractionless
Floors 1- ??
Finish, stainless, mirrored stainless, brass? wood? plastic, painted (color)
Doors: double sided center opening, single sided opening, one opening? 2? more?
Lighting?
button layout
button style
car floor style.
Hall lanterns,
etc
etc
etc

It's not just a box on stick. or rope.

If you're ok with being in a Union, then you're fine. IBEW I think is the one the Elevator guys use. Typically in the cities. Small towns I'm not so sure about.

I remember a Strike in New York years ago, I'm not union, but they covered each others backs pretty well (Union guys). It was commendable.

Been out of the elevator business for 13 years now...

Supply Chain was the big issue years ago I remember. Seems like nothing has changed.

Elon sold it. Its now outside of his grasp. Took them longer

Linus seems Zen about this whole thing, and it's quite refreshing. He's really is diplomatic about it, and it seems he's looking towards the future and whats coming vs what and who we have now. Younger devs will want newer better languages, Older seasoned vets feel encroached or ignored. That's IT. I'm seeing it now in SAP where there's core SAP, with ABAP and the older modules, the new fancy stuff like HANA and Fiori that's where the splash is. Until everything is replaced, which it never is, the Old Guard will have their place. Some new up-and-comers will eventually have to take it over, but until then they need to play nice.

I like Rust, I think it's a good idea for safe, secure code. It's complex, but everything new usually is. C is a good language, but Linus is right, it's easy to screw up unintentionally.

I with Linus on this and Rust devs, start small, replace fringes. Prove your work. Earn respect, then expand as opportunities arise.

Everyone's work on the Kernel is tremendously respected. You Kernel Devs have my Kudos, always. I think your code is amazing. (even with silly bugs that I'm sure exist). But you won't always be here, you will retire, you will leave the Kernel someday. Your code will eventually be replaced, and your hours on it will disappear. But your intent and ideas will remain. You did 'X' in the Kernel for a reason, your code will be replaced, but you reason for doing 'X' will remain. Eventually even 'X' will change. It's Life.

I can't tell you who invented the wheel, but I liked their idea. and millennia later we still use it.

For now Rust is coming, C is threatened. Natural cycle.

Linus is becoming the Dude, I like it.
