LLM crawlers are understandable these days, but who on earth is actively trying to take the FSF down?
A bunch of heathen VIM users trying to stop people from accessing EMACS? What the heck?
Let's say you actually managed to take down the FSF website. Who would even notice or care? How would that help your hacker rep in any way? You'd be a laughingstock for making the attempt.
If you want a fusion power reactor, by far the most viable fuel is D+T. You'd need orders of magnitude more tritium than is could ever be extracted from trace fission byproducts.
The idea to obtain this much tritium is to use the extra neutrons from the fusion reactor itself to breed it from lithium. This is supposedly a demonstration of that process.
Yes AI may be generating a lot of code now. But you need someone to find where what was generated was weak, or inefficient.
Over time the quality of generated stuff will improve, but since so many companies are generating a lot of code today that is a LOT of technical debt that is building up rapidly.
I especially agree that now is the time to round out your skills - as stated, study design, study platforms you connect to but do not develop on. Study AI tools, find out when they work for things you work on and know well - and when they do not.
Good luck out there everyone!
Man this Superman marketing budget must be crazy. Or possibly it's an F4 promo? But then it would be a little late.
Great we heard the same shit five years ago
I won't be impressed until the AI has better recommendations than 4 out of 5 dentists.
geoengineering and other high-tech approaches. But none of those are satisfying for the people who want to control how you run your life.
Of all the things an elite group of people could do to control everyone else's lives, geoengineering schemes have to rank up there at the very top.
Kind of funny to see how AI's improve by re-writing themselves, following immediately a story from earlier today about humans being driven into psychosis by AI's.
This claims it uses empirical evidence to judge improvement but why would an AI not be as much a cheerleader for anything it does as it is for any human?
Just another example of why having watched Star Wars is such an important aspect of lifetime mental health...
When exploring deep philosophy with an AI and ending up down rabbit holes, Yoda's warning was always there to moderate you ahead of time...
Luke: "What's in there?"
Yoda: "Only what you take with you".
This was a pre-emissions model (the car wasn't new when I got it). The only pollution control I remember it having was a PCV valve. After adjusting net vs gross HP, the 5.7L engine was rated for similar power as my current (non turbo) 2.5L. It also probably burned through 2.5X the fuel, and produced orders of magnitude more smog.
The new car is probably heavier, but I assume that a wider power band and more efficient transmission give my current car the overall edge in performance specs. The old car probably had better bottom-end torque, so it could do burnouts easier. That, along with the loud noise, rattling chassis and very scary handling characteristics probably made it feel faster than the current car, but that's nothing but psychology.
Other than the SwiftUI framework, approximately everything that's in Swift was in Objective-C 5â"10 years ago.
Not the concurrency framework (GCD is not the same), SwiftUI doesn't have things like Swift structs, only supports integers enums, Generics, no guard statement. Also finer grained access control.
Mind you they have improved Objective-C over the years by bringing in some Swift features as Swift improved! Like nullability annotations.
I still do like Objective-C as a language but even with Swifts advanced areas and quirks, I still think it's more straightforward than Objective-C for newer users. And I think finally with the new beta version of Swift they have a concurrency model that is strong but also friendly enough for people to work with.
And those who had to drive up a hill. Or merge onto a highway safely.
What a load of bunk.
The 0-60 time of my base-model mid-sized family sedan with a naturally aspirated 4-banger beats the 350 cubic inch 4bbl equipped muscle car that I had 45 years ago. It has no problem merging onto highways.
This ought to be really easy to rectify:
Ask me anything...
>> Hey, how are you doing on all those audits?
No problems.
>> Great! Keep up the good work.
Sometime, if we are lucky, we will get a small programming language that does not collect new features every year just for the sake of progress
Swift does get new features every year but I would argue most have been good quality of life, or quality of code improvements. Especially the latest changes around concurrency are really good.
Avoiding the pyramid of 500 third-party packages for a mid-sized application is a good thing.
Totally agree but that is where Swift has been really great! It is VERY practical now to build a medium to large application with only handful of third party packages. That was very much not the case 5-10 years ago. If you look at any modern Swift app it looks nothing like the swirl of madness that is a modern React application.
AI is so productive, many programmers now are getting a 0-day work week!
Biggest problem with fiber to an individual room is the lack of fiber interfaces on devices.
Oddly enough, my 30-year-old stereo amplifier has one. I'll finally have a use for it!
If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't.
