Depends on your field. When one microsecond is considered "hellishly slow", you might reconsider

It's like saying who likes to ride a bicycle in the world of cars, you can do it much easier with a plain steering wheel.

Well... sure it's more efficient (although in some cities and certain routes it's not; same with coding and LLMs). But some of us just love riding the bicycle and enjoying the nature, you know. Perhaps even strengthening our muscles as we do it, as a healthy side effect.

Yes, but then it may sound as if "both/all" is being highlighted which it isn't in the neutral "they are doctors" statement

Not going to lie, I was a bit confused at first (before visiting the link), why would BBC publish an anti-AI post for software developers.

Indulging in musicianship works very well, too. As in, learning a musical instrument, say classical piano, with some external guidance.

You'll have to activate parts of brain you might never had to previously, it's quite some mental gymnastics but also an immersive mind + body + aural connection. You may feel exhausted after an intensive practice session but in a very rewarding way. You'll have to learn to learn differently.

We'd have to wait on LeCun to make progress on that

Artificial general incompetence?

Someone did care enough to create a throwaway account to vent here, it seems.

And how can we tell for sure if it's good or bad? Does killing these birds and mammals help maintain the ecosystem balance (due to these birds and mammals not killing billions other animals down the food chain, or not spreading infections and viruses), or the other way around?

It's also things like being able to change runtime configs in human language without having to turn to computer, eg "please also track when this artist is in my area". Nothing revolutionary, but kinda the whole point? Tell it what to do, it goes off, does some chores and searches, updates some configs so that later on some crons would use them.

You don't stare at your AirPods, they don't create the room vibe, whereas, arguably, the furniture does, along with the lighting.

Otherwise, the weekend should have been called weekedge

So GitHub itself is a trustworthy agent and nothing to do with AI?

Things are not always that simple, eg https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/7/4/better-models-worse-tools/

A pretty good related question is - compute a running median (or window median).

Even, possibly, the other way around in some cases. A seemingly identical program may (and it does occur) compile to a faster machine code in rust than in C++ due to extra markers (eg alignment) that rust compiler is able to provide to llvm.

Or cubizenzic?

What type of software will you not be able to run? Your browser will work just the same, and your dev env and devtools will be just the same, and it's a posix environment. If that's what I need most and it runs just about the same on macos/linux then why not prioritize the hardware?

And that lad is of course an information security engineer

Both have `class` keyword

Foundation series vibes anyone?

If there's no UBs then what will we programmers do, there won't be enough to debug and fix?

Correlation doesn't imply causation

Exactly, if choosing blue would allow you to wear a blue badge which would raise your happiness level or otherwise affect your utility function, then it might make sense. Otherwise it just doesn't.

Not the factory floor. The receiving end.

It wasn’t one bottleneck. It was all of them.

Not the nuclear material. The pattern.

Money was never the constraint. Knowledge was.

Efficiently communicating with other human beings

Yep.

As a recent example in AI space itself. China had scarce GPU resources, quite obvious why => DeepSeek training team had to invent some wheels and jump through some hoops => some of those methods have since become 'industry standard' and adopted by western labs who are now jumping through the same hoops despite enjoying massive computeresources, for the sake of added efficiency.

Rust's ratatui is pretty good on the lower-level side of things

Incorrect.
