> What I mean to say is that AI is insanely good at things that we humans would never do since the work would be too monotonous.

In my opinion AI is superior to humans when it comes to pattern recognition in in large amounts of data. For example humans can only hold like 7 distinct numbers in the short term memory and you would require extra context-management (aka writing things down, storing them in a system entry by entry) while the AI can do this effortlessly with huge datasets.

I'd argue this is the core part that enables all this superhuman intelligence.

My understanding is that the underlying part is a next token predictor and that's what is "actually" editing the code but the part that decides what to do (to achieve a successful unit test result for example) is a mix of all the things including post training.

Kinda, I don't mind having quite a few packages but they are mostly self-contained in their use-package blocks. This way even if things go wrong it's usually just one package I gotta remove and not something that's intertwined with the whole config.

Using emacs for 4-5 years now and it's been a fantastic experience so far.

There are a few reasons why this is false, my favorite one is, they didn't control for alcoholics who stopped drinking and thus reported as non-drinkers. So the group of completely sober ones had people with liver damage etc. while those with only moderate drinkers had barely any heavy-drinkers in it.

Most sales jobs would be unnecessary if people would be good at communicating their problems.

A coworker of mine has a pretty neat script that uses bubblewrap to wrap any application. I'm using that one too for pi and it's pretty great since you don't have to trust the harness and can quite easily customize the sandbox to your needs, e.g. disallow reading to certain directories etc.

This blogpost describes a similar thing: https://bxt.rs/blog/easy-sandboxing-on-linux-with-bubblewrap...

You can make dichromated gelatin film yourself which is cheap but quite tricky to do and requires a lot of work compared to the ready made film.

What? What software did you try to reverse, Ive never heard of anything even close to this

Super interesting, thanks!

I think it depends on what you think your job is.

If your job is/you enjoy writing the code and solving technical challenges then yes this changes very heavily and AI will do this more efficiently than a human.

But if your job is designing systems and implementing solutions and coming up with good code along the way then I don't see AI getting anywhere close to making you obsolete in the foreseeable future.

I personally don't enjoy writing C++ but I really enjoy solving problems.

Terra Medium/High for most implementations, Sol High for tracking down hard bugs and planning more complex systems.

PayPal and Apple Pay use my debit card so they somewhat do use it.

In germany a similar scheme exists (Schufa) but it's less important.

Yeah I think we all agree that this double standard is a huge problem and has no merit to it.

Its sadly very similar to corporate vs private responsibility.

I never understood how anybody would think this way. At work for example from day one of using AI our rule was, AI is just a tool and if you break something due to not reviewing the code properly etc. it's on you as if you wrote that code yourself.

We have a very lean development process and are in early stages of releasing the software, so almost no meetings and 90% of my time is development time (obv I talk with colleagues etc in that time). For example working with yocto eats through tokens like crazy since codex has to work with a pretty big codebase and look up tons of stuff.

We have ChatGPT Pro at work and I usually use Terra medium/high and only bring out Sol High when the big or feature actually requires "thinking"/complex behavior. This has worked pretty well for me and it's very token efficient

Correct I'm biased against technologies that only run on a single OS for no benefit to the user.

I noticed the same. I wanted a simple crud webapp and suggested an insane techstack involving C#, Razor Pages, MSSQL and more. I went with my planned setup of python flask with an sqlite db which served me well for years.

It's still incredibly important to have a human in the loop correcting design decisions and having good taste.

I'd argue nobody writes such long commit messages this consistently. I'm VERY sure this is fully AI generated.

Imo a good example are soccer teams. To be in the top 5 the team has to work as one hivemind which only works if the people making up the team (coaches and players) actually work together on both the sport side as well as on the social side of things.

Different to corporate jobs those teams spend tremendous amounts on scouting, analysis etc.. They don't just look for the best player but also one who fits as a person.

I think the core issue is that management hasn't picked this up yet and understanding team chemistry etc is totally undervalued. I'd argue this is partly due to this being hard to measure and very hard to do.

Trees are that and they don't even need human intervention.

I have a lot of contact with the CRA at work and I actually think its a very good piece of regulation. There are barely any parts where I think they are straight up bad.

I think it only hurts super small one man part time developers but even then: If I pay for a piece of software I expect it to be secure and have a bit of support.

I always suggest looking at the quantum eraser experiment to see how bad common sense works with quantum mechanics. It's fairly simple but intuition fails most people when it comes to explaining how it works.

No you misunderstood it:

> Reporting process starts at the moment manufacturer becomes aware of active exploitation of vulnerability or incident.

If your business is closed (due to vacation or sickness for example) you don't become aware until you are back.

And arguably the most important when it comes to mobile and small form factor usecases.

Apple doesn't optimize for raw performance but rather perf/watt. So comparing only performance is not really useful.

Those will obviously be exempt?

The CRA that will be active starting december 2027 will also do similar things like RED. Cant ship with fixed static credentials anymore or manufacturer backdoors (unless the user activates them)

This can definitely happen, I had a like crooked hip for a few days after I bumped into a table while lifting something. I dont think this could ever result in something good though like chiropractors claim.

xiaomi mimo is very cheap and not bad.
