You’re not neurodivergent, wtf people self diagnose like this as if it were some great discovery about themselves. Here’s another discovery you may not have made yet: we cannot know what others feel inside, even when they claim to tell us… they will just say what they think they should say or you want to hear. Revealing your inner thoughts is extremely difficult for most people, neurodivergent or not. Guessing others feelings about things also.
You’re out of the loop! I’ve myself implemented access escalation on top of MCP and it’s not rocket science. It’s already being used by Enterprise everywhere!
There is no way it’s worse. To be comparable the Russians would have to have flattened Kyiv and most other cities which is extremely far from reality. The cities being flattened are all in the frontline as there is no way to take a city by force without basically destroying every building.
You need to do it to know the results for your own use case. The barrier for trying things out is extremely low now, just relying on others to evaluate tools for you is not very effective as their use case is unlikely to be the same as yours and these tools vary a lot from case to case.
I don’t agree with that at all, there is a high startup cost to languages like Java and to a lesser extent, JS. Java won’t do anything at all for about 60ms last I measured. This is noticeable to users. JS does better which is why you still see some JS based CLIs. But languages like Go and Rust really are much better for this, they don’t require a huge VM installed on your system and start up instantly. I can also recommend Common Lisp as it has an insanely low startup latency. Ship a single file binary without dependencies please.
I have been in a CEO replacement at my previous job. The owners were not happy with how things were going and replaced him. It was a decision only two or three people on the board participated in, even most of the board had no idea. In public, however, the only information that came out was that the CEO decided that his mission had been accomplished and it was time to look for new opportunities. These people never publicly tell the truth, what you hear on the news is what they want you to hear. The truth is almost certainly something completely different.
I am sure OP cannot understand the Unix file API without actually reading every line of its implementations (on each different architecture)! Or any function for that matter , what does sort do?? Impossible to know without reading the source. And I’m sure after reading the source you will know every detail of how it works and will never forget it.
The really interesting thing was that when looking further, the results of non-native students reflected closely the scores of their native countries (not the countries where they now live), which is not at all surprising to me (as an immigrant, I don't think I am smarter because I now live in a "smarter" country even if I would love to be) but goes completely against everything people in the education sector appears to believe.
I think there is ample evidence IQ correlates with lots of things like job success, performance in mental work, income etc to the point the military and many organizations require an IQ test for sensitive tasks. To dismiss it as curriculum memorization, which I think is what you are hinting at, is demonstrably incorrect.
I saw a post where they showed that ethnically native students in Northern Europe are doing just fine, it’s the non natives, which are up to 30% and even higher in som countries, that are doing poorly. Do they actually look at that in these studies or it’s swiped under the rug as something too inconvenient to discuss? If this is fake news, please correct me if you can show the real figures for this.
> Code is there to be read and understood by the human developers who come later.
Have you been under a rock in the last two years?? Code is written solely by AI now, and hence it needs to be understood by AI only. Humans can still give some feedback on architecture and high level design to feel important, but even that has its days counted already.
Have you tried Jev and compared it against your alternative classifiers? Should take half an hour to do that, then you’ll have your answer (or someone who already did it can tell you here).
Even Google itself is now just asking AI. Usually the AI summary Google returns is more useful than the links. I get really annoyed when I query something and no AI summary is given as the links it returns these days are trash.
It’s interesting that people claimed the exact same thing when computers were being introduced to the work place int the 80s and 90s. Lots of papers showing how productivity didn’t go up at all and using a paper and pen seems to be just as efficient as using a PC.
Even in the 19th century, when electricity became widely available, there was no productivity gain for 30 years at least. This is a well understood phenomenon.
They have a feature where they open a browser right in the app for Claude to use! They also use browser rendering for displaying various graphical formats. For once an Electron app that can actually justify shipping a whole browser in it.
Without tools LLMs can do nothing more than emit text. You are probably assuming a harness is provided to the LLM with shell access but that is absolutely not necessary for LLM usage depending on the use case. For interesting stuff, you do want to provide some tools, but nothing with the power of a terminal if you are worried about security. A MCP server is perfect to securely provide the LLM with some controlled power exactly because it can do nothing at all other than call tools that go through the MCP server and can therefore be scrutinized, audited and ensure credentials are not visible to the LLM.
They have a UI which is pretty good! That explains why JS , they can run that in Electron and in TUI. I only use the UI now since it is do damn useful with its management of worktrees and multiple sessions, including ones running remotely via ssh devcontainers.
Bob also knows how to quickly check things with a little bash scripting and tests. Can quickly switch branches to confirm regressions and consult documentation if something requires more information. His twin can also quickly scan for all the common security vulnerabilities in any code, and will do it without complaining as many times as you want him to.
I’ve come to trust Bob with code more than any human.
Yep! We run security reviews on our pull requests now and are shocked at how it stops a lot of vulnerabilities being shipped. We've had a couple of high score CVEs from the before-LLM times, and when the AI reviews the code that introduced the CVEs, it easily picks them up. We had 2 humans reviewing every PR, and both missed the issues. It's far too easy to miss security issues when you manually review them, but LLMs are exceptionally good at finding them. Unfortunately for me, I admit, I just can't get myself to push code anymore without an LLM checking my work (or writing much of it when I'm at work, I try to write code by hand in my own time to make sure I don't rust away, but at work there's no way to justify doing it the "slow" way anymore).
You seem to be in a completely different universe than me.
Mac GPU, for consumer products, is absolutely the best when you need LLMs which require a lot of memory and consumes much less power (it's funny that you seem to believe otherwise when that's literally that biggest advantage of Mac silicon which absolutely no one who knows anything about computers doubts).
If you think Nix is great but Brew is not, I really don't know what to tell you. One is a UX nightmare, the other just works. Nix is cool, I admit, but for day to day usage, it really is not ready for real world usage.
Your comments are like a parody of a professional, I highly doubt you're a professional, you're a teen, aren't you? I should've guessed it when you mentioned "High-performance Vulkan drivers" :(.
You just misinterpreted what NSArray is. It’s not an immutable type, it’s a read-only type. As others already mentioned that’s different things. If you have a read-only variable and exclusive access to it, then you can rely on immutability as well. This is what Rust has, for example. Many languages use this definition as well as it’s much more useful than having some sort of pure immutable type guarantee (which some languages do have with const).
Another language that uses this is Kotlin: List is a read-only type. MutableList is a subtype of List. You can get a “const” List by only keeping a reference to the value via a List binding. This can be worked around via casting and reflection, but even in Haskell you can do unsafe things that mutate a immutable value, so I don’t think that undermines the idea.
> I've been doing low-level programming professionally for 25 years
You haven't been doing any Rust though. You seem to think you can extrapolate your C++ experience to Rust. That's preposterous. The actual Rust programmers can't recognize this theoretical problem in their Rust programs.
Interesting how people find reasons even when they make no sense. When did you experience problems with Docker on Mac?? I couldn’t care less it’s not native, it just works. About CUDA, mac has great GPUs , so much so that it’s a fad now to buy mini Macs to run LLMs.
I don’t know about why you would use those file systems, am I missing something so great about them?
Package management is awesome on Mac with brew, people are even using Brew on Linux lately since it’s one of the best.
About system updates, I don’t remember being forced to do it, quite the opposite, my old Macs stopped being able to update after 8 years I believe. Which is fine with me, they get pretty obsolete after so long , and I believe Linux Wasabi works on old Macs if I need it ( but I don’t , I have a Dell with Linux that I could use if I wanted Linux, but I never need it and that laptop was just headache for me, which is why I choose to only use my Macs now ). But to each its own though.
