Have you had to review a lot of this AI slop? It is a HUGE waste of the reviewers time. Most of the devs will use AI and never look at the code or actually test it. They are screwing over the reviewers by making them do it for them. It is just plain lazy and an a-hole move. Good testing can prevent most if it, but... time and resources.

> The article mentions seatbelts jammed in doors. Personally I think Tesla should make clear instructions to the passenger to ensure the door is fully closed before leaving.

You mean Waymo, not Tesla there, but they absolutely do yell at you to close it if you leave one open for even a minute or so. I know because we used one and got yelled at, though we were just unloading stuff at the time and closed it afterward.

It is getting really sad though. On an average team of 15-20 you get something like the following breakdown these days:

- 1-3 people who actually know wtf is going on. Usually old fucks who do this stuff for fun.

- 1-2 people who show a little promise, but are way under experienced.

- The middle are usually newer graduates. They spend like 2 hours of an 8 hour day actually doing "work". The rest of the time is bitching about capitalism, fascists or rambling about Trump. Pretty much useless. When they do work it is minimal. They will get stuck on something and just set on it for weeks until they are forced to get one of the top 1-3 to pretty much "help"(do the work for them).

- 1-2 people at the bottom who have the inability to understand anything. They will run something through chatgpt once a week and cut-n-past it into an MR. Usually has nothing to do with the problem. Sadly, these are usually immigrants with poor english and no technical experience(HR helps them through the process). They are incapable of learning.

It doesn't, it just leaves the general public holding sacks of worthless paper money or pointless numbers in a bank's database when they want actual stuff, like food.

Inflation as long been used as a stealthy way to tax the public, they see their quality of life going to crap as each new generation comes along, but nobody wants to admit the problem lies with government spending The US had the advantage of pushing a lot of the inflation tax onto the rest of the world, but that's going away as so many other countries want to get free of the dollar.

If tomorrow the government hands out a trillion dollars to everyone, we won't all suddenly have a lot more stuff. We'll have a lot more paper and all the resources that were scarce yesterday will still be just as scarce. Probably even more so as there's a rush to consume more before prices can fully react to such a change.

How tf do you guys always got to make it political. The anti-vaxers will get their own because they are not protected. Those that are vaxxed don't have to worry right?

If you were asked to RCA this though where/how do you think the source of the new surge infections are coming from? Do the anti-vaxers infect themselves by magic? Are the vaxxer gods smiting them with it?

They are almost military like in trying to force this shit into every project. The end result is a bunch of partially implemented rust replacements scattered across a bunch of projects that are a PITA to deal with for both the developers and end users. Like, why tf am I installing system rust dependencies for some random python dependency that isn't easily available on most OSs? Why do I care about maintaining a half implemented rust parser that was pushed onto a project that is mostly golang, c or python? Most people don't give af about the quarter of a millisecond that the parser may saved them.

> We have been hearing these same predictions about the national debt for almost 100 years ... the argument is fundamentally flawed. Mostly because it ignores things like economic growth, inflation and the value created by whatever the debt buys.

The fiat system has collapsed a few times, do you know anything about Brazil or Zimbabwe?

I don't think gold is a magic solution here, or returning to that standard would fix everything, but you do need some level of balance between the amount of currency and the things there are to buy with it and we damn near broke it during Covid with the mass inflation there. So I wouldn't be too cavalier that this could never happen, even as I don't think it's in any immediate danger.

But remember: there won't be a US dollar to peg the US dollar to if we screw it up and that's the only way Brazil got out of its mess in the 1990s.

Meanwhile, you can get $100 trillion Zimbabwe dollars for $3 USD.

Yeah, because the customers don't want anything else. Itch.io is great ... if you want random indie stuff. GOG seems to have no idea what to recommend and you either get games from 1992 or hentai VNs with a porn patch so they're not technically selling the porn, with little that's actually interesting.
