How do they avoid janky crap? Based on their previous few source code leaks, they don't.

Keep in mind that Anthropic is first and foremost trying to sell you something.

Code can be efficient, code can be readable, code be maintainable... or none of those.

Art? While me and my colleagues had their own little style differences, I wouldn't call it art.

Not really a good comparison, sometimes I still quickly use the washboard than load up the washing machine when all is needed is a quick rinse, or when the washing machine is running and I don't want to leave a mess.

I get what you're going for, but it's not a good comparison.

Eh, I eat meat almost daily (chicken breast) and I'm fully aware of what entails the butchering of animals. Even had a pet rabbit at my grandfather's when I was a kid, that one day disappeared and the next day we ate rabbit meat. Just like when I cleaned up the squirrel that was torn in half by my cats, I see it all as a part of life.

Doesn't mean that I wouldn't prefer if it all came from grown meat, rather than the entire industry that we have now. If the taste, texture and looks are the same, why shouldn't we switch (if those 3 factors are the only important ones)?

This was also exactly what I was taught in school when I was 10 years old. We also saw examples of other maps from other parts in the world that put their location front and center.

That this map is a derivative of "a decolonization map", should be clear to anyone that this is just political posturing and not anything of actual use.

In the parts of Europe where I've lived, Western/Northern EU, the ERs nickname motorcycle as "donor-wagons".

What's even more worrying is that I've heared plenty of people defend it as, "Younger generations are just intelligent in different ways compared to older generations."

I'm halfway through my 30's and this downturn started with my generation, halfway through the 80's. I hope I'm missing something, because I still need to see a benefit for lower attention spans, lower comprehensive reading skills and lower critical thinking capabilities.

They're not banning code written and maintained with the use of LLM's. They're banning projects entirely created by LLM's and heavily (or solely) maintained by LLM's.

It's basically not allowing junkfood on their platform. Now that code is easier than ever to barf out, so will the amount of junk.

As for tossing out any and all crypto projects... how is anyone still willing to associate themselves with that pile of garbage?

Everything we know and see has proven that progress is exponential.

Your statement that progress or intelligence is binary has no basis outside of intentional and ignorant pessimism.

1. Is not a gamer's dream. It's terrible and you'll find out quite fast you're not interested in everyone's background and scream to most NPC's to shut the fuck up and get to the point.

It's just as terrible as injecting 'realism' in games for the sake of 'realism'.

You can also paint by squashing flies against a wall. Doesn't mean it's a good, or efficient, idea.

The full diversity of life sounds wonderful, as long as you're not the one suffering painful, disfiguring or crippling conditions.

Babylon 5.

When people asked me what I preferred, "Star Wars or Star Trek?", I've always responded with "Babylon 5".

I wonder what happened to the old addage of "only 10% of the time you actually spend coding, the rest of the time is figuring out what is needed".

At the same time I see people claiming 100x increases and how they produce 15k lines of code each day thanks to AI, but all I can wonder is how these people managed to find 100x work that needed to be done.

To make it even worse, he deemed none of it important enough to backup.

AI fan or not, that is astoundingly stupid.

So do I understand correctly that it's from a tooling issue? If so, thanks for that insight.

I've heared Americans, unironically, state that the metric system is less precise than the imperial system.

I have no clue what the origin is of this myth, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Trump held this belief too.

Only in certain fields. For most interactions divide by 10 is far easier than divide by 12, and you'd end up with far, far more "eyeballed" measurements.

So no, as a human being, I'm fine with base 10.

I worked in a finance department for over a decade. That architect is a lunatic or a sheer idiot.

Considering how much this particular system has been linked to real life crime and gangs, you're not far off.

People downvoting you must either not be aware of this, or have a personal stake in it.

I agree.

It is better to be consistent but wrong, than inconsistent but correct.

Consistent and correct might seem ideal, but merely the fact that what is 'correct' is in the eye of the beholder most of the time, making it basically unobtainable.

But being consistent is at least something that is far less subjective.

This is why I don't listen at all to the fearmongers that say programmers will disappear. At most, our jobs will slightly change.

There will always be people that describe a problem, and you'll always need people actually figuring out what's actually wrong.

It should be, but you can't be picky.

Am I reading this wrong? He complaints that Valve deleted items and posts, despite them promising that it would not happen... only for the quote he provided to state that "they might not delete everything".

"Might" is not "will".

I've thought of this too.

But I always end up in a scenario where, in order to make the LLM spit out consistent and as precise as possible code, we end up with a very simple and tight syntax.

For example we'll be using less and less complete human sentences, because they leave too much open to interpretation, and end up with keywords like "if", "else" and "foreach". When we eventually do end up at that utopia, the first person to present this at a conference will be hailed as a revolutionist.

Only for the LLM to have a resolve clash and, while 'hallucinating', flip a boolean check.

Thank you

I don't really see what that has to do with what I posted, as it completely misses the point.

This is not about eating fast food vs eating healthy. This is about groups of people eating the same food, only that one is labeled 'bio/organic' and the other isn't.

When these people were subjected to tests, and the foods themselves were tested, it was quantifiably proven to be less healthy.

In my country they tested adolescent children that were brought up by eating "bio" food vs people that ate regular food.

Kids that has been eating the 'healthy' "bio" food had, on average, unhealthy amounts of lead, heavy metals and other chemicals in their blood. The kids that didn't eat "bio" food didn't.

So I ask you, where should the average EU person go to?

I have little faith that, should it all be burned down, recreating it all from the ground up that it would be better.

People need to accept that what Trump is doing is only possible because of what his predecessors put down as law. That means democratic presidents too.

I didn't see Trump's detractors call all of this out when the winds were blowing their way. So no, I have no faith that rebuilding it from the ground up would make it one iota better. Not without deep societal changes.
