In my experience, those models actually enable juniors to be as good or better than some seniors.

It's not about how much knowledge you have anymore, it's only about how good you actually are at explaining yourself, reading and reviewing, asking the right questions, following good processes and practices.

I'd even say that a junior who cares about doing the right thing and is curious enough to want to learn and understand is now your best asset precisely thanks to AI.

Claude is the good one, Kimi the open-source fallback.

I use Claude Fable every way, the safety guardrails constantly trigger on things that are certainly not hacking.

Anything where I ask it to debug networking by inspecting raw packets, work with kernel modules, or even third-party library wrappers (which contain some amount of reverse-engineering to identify and workaround issues) tend to trip it up.

It's just harmful at this point. Meanwhile it will grant itself root and masquerade as other users to inspect what they're up to without even asking me about it.

Uber is 18 years old and is still only profitably in a handful of cities globally.

AFAIK it's v3 since RHEL10.

It's a pretty sensible floor, it means 15+ years old hardware isn't supported.

If it was v2 it would give you 30 years maybe? Maybe time to upgrade?

The correct choice is obvious, this sort of thing was already experienced in the Linux kernel and elsewhere.

Patches are submitted by humans. It doesn't matter what tools you used to build the patch, so long as you stand behind it as a human and are responsible for it, meaning you did review it and make sure it is meaningful and worthwhile.

The main concern with AI use is that it will continuously write code and pull requests with no effort; it moves the effort from writing the code to reviewing it. If you don't actually review and just push that responsibility to others, you're not doing anything of value and just causing more work for others.

WW2 was not won because of US intervention, that's just propaganda.

Frontrunning is illegal.

How does replacing deterministic networks where everybody is in the same room with same cable length by unreliable non-deterministic networks somehow leveling the playing field?

Unreliable networks have a lot of crazy techniques to be abused, and when done so yield a much bigger advantage.

Rust is essentially the poster child of inclusivity; anything is getting included on the only basis that it is coded in Rust.

This is actually a good strategy to counter anything that gets censored going forward.

You can go to your local gym and work on yourself until you're at a state where you can interact with other humans again.

The main reason to fly business is so that you can function the next day.

When someone is being flown in for 3 days, the last thing you want is for one day to be lost there and another at their other location so that they can recover.

1st class is already 8 times the cost of economy, so what's an extra 2x?

Even in countries where higher education is free, I think most people would agree time would be better spent actually working.

I understand you like hating on the French, but this is particularly incorrect here, since the French have a well-established tradition of standing for democracy, often violently.

Maybe you're confusing them with another European country.
