Boeing is going all in on AI tools. The entire software org is being pushed to put together plans for how they will using "Boeing AI' to decrease costs and increase output. I've been listening to people talk about how it made writing tests so much easier.. tests that are run on aircraft software for formal qualification... and these people are being richly rewarded by management, who have staked their career on AI....

AI just replaces the formal grammar of 3rd generation languages with an informal english-like grammar of a 4th generation language. Which means unlike compilers or assemblers, it will always be unpredictable and non deterministic, which makes it differnt from those other two examples in a very important way.

Yeah. These coding assistants are just 4th generation programming languages with no documented spec. Prompts are just another programming language, but using an informal grammar that can change without warning... which also means there is a rather low ceiling of how good you can get at it.

Government generally is pretty efficient. The problem tends to come to people to comparing it to things, well, that it isn't... or asking 'why isn't it only doing the things I want?' and counting everything else as 'inefficient'. It doesn't help that a whole pundit industry (and its political pipeline) has sprung up with the idea that government is ineffient... naturally people don't know or check, but they hear it everywhere.

This is such cry-baby nonsense.

NONSENSE.

Since 2008, I have personally mentored dozens of young dudes (at no cost whatsoever, just because that's what successful people do).

I have helped poor dudes in bad neighborhoods buck up, get some side hustles, stack cash, and buy property.

You fucked yourself because you refuse to actually do someone to buy property. I don't know ANYONE, starting with even zero money, who couldn't find a nice home in just 2-3 years of saving money properly -- except the lepers in California, and fuck them anyway.
