if you somehow disagree and point out the other narrative, you are a putin Chill.. Pathetic how the orange website is not safe from trolls.

What else do you expect? Hollywood told us we can't loose so I guess it should be that. It's all cope after cope after cope, poor Ukrainian men dragged by force are the ones paying for Zelensky next round of fundings.

Carbon is such a werid choice. I don't see anyone in their right mind using Carbon for anything meaningful for a lot of reason. As others mentioned, it's really incomplete and you cannot trust google to not kill it out of nowhere.

I don't know what OPs project looks like, but in our company the choice has a clear path: - performance/low level: Rust, Cpp

- CPU/memory is not the bottleneck and I don't need much concurrency / it's data science, machine learning, ETL ... : Python

- concurrency is key, highly distributed system: elixir, golang, erlang

- programming based on mathematical models: Haskell

OpenAI went for the lowest hanging fruit and got a lot of credit (and money) for it. Creating a competing large deep neural network isn't hard and I guess it will soon be too available because of Google. Remember when OCR was the hottest thing and we got the best version of it for free in Google docs.

1. get to enjoy an open network of networks

2. people share, get creative and get some sort of credit for it

3. scrap it all and feed it a large deep neural network and be a worse version of all this content but easily accessible

4. creative people don't see a reason to keep sharing what they have (no new public books, no new open source projects, ...)

5. get stuck in an AI world of recycled content

People blindly following OpenAI products have a very shortsighted vision. What they did is neither innovative, nor extraordinary, they got the data, convinced some victims into a kickstart, made sure the hardware supports the bigger deep neural network that can do the job. Check out the OpenAI alternative solutions, it's not hard.

can't agree more as somebody who joined a place for the sole purpose of maintaining already profitable products and continuously pay the tech debt there.

I keep emphasizing it, looking at this project is like looking at a complied code, you can understand what this portion does by reading the program but You can't understand what the dev/architect had in mind when they did it, architectural diagrams + proper high level docs can do wonders. I can understand what those modules are doing, but it will take me years before I can grasp the entire system to know where to look for every fix/new increment.

Agree very much with this. I work with 50k per repository and around 10 repositories for the last 4 years. Strict mypy rules do the trick, linting flake, pylint do wonders to the quality, no re-using the same variable for different things, no generic types in the interfaces (dicts, pandas dataframe).. There's no additional pain compared to our go code bases except not accounting for the compiling part.

available in Odysee already

love the tool! Came across plantuml and presented it to my colleagues 1 year ago, it got all the attention and it's the defacto tool in my current workplace.

I have 3 main clients now:

1. project with large code bases that I maintain, the configs alone are of the scale of 20k lines of yaml files

2. Prototyping client with smaller code bases and varying requests for projects needing to be adapted for their clients

3. Implementing research results of a research institute

In all what I have/saw, I still don't see a single use case for GPT assisted programming. Even for snippets, I have a large repository of lua snippets for neovim and coockicutter templates that I built throughout the years.

yeah all it takes is all the open source software on earth that humans spent years developing and debugging.. I wonder how would we be able to evolve that thing with whatever research will yield, or will it be eternal stagnation with the same model pooping out the same "backends".. Probably people are celebrating too early.

There's a huge fight to kill crypto adoption and this article is an example..

You won't be able to buy snickers everywhere in BTC, but we are slowly getting there.. The number of things I can buy with crypto is increasing significantly (now I pay for VPN, web hosting, domain nane, consulting, ... in crypto). In addition, probably firsties are not aware, but P2P networks without KYC are exploding everywhere. I can get cash for crypto in under one hour where I am. You can today go to a number of touristy countries and live of exchanging BTC for cash securely and with 0 identification. If this is not big enough then I don't know whay would be.

> it's nothing to worry about

> if we will ever catch you using that you will be punished

Wait until they realize that Ripple is running a good portion of financial institutions.. Seems like people prefer keeping their heads in the sand, nobody is here to convince anyone of anything though because for some reason most of the critics happen to be the most ingorant of the matter

Different countries have their own currencies. In most of them, it's illegal to use another's country currency. So this statement doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Regarding most currencies being attached to the USD, it's an old tradition that a lot of entities are trying to get rid of. Some got democracy just for trying to get out of it (Libya comes to mind).

Yeah, a long time ago it was trusted and given that unfair printing advantage, it doesn't mean everyone is happy with that today, nor does it mean it's a measurement of economic strength.

> the world has faith in US economy

That's a bold statement. I guess by "the world" you mean US, EU and Japan. That's not even half of "the world".

So does Messi, Shakira and Eminem, and I am not relying on them to give me truth or quoting rhem as a proof on anything.

it always bugs me how people are quoting Bill Gates on every issue, what are his qualifications to say something about crpto? or covid? or any other thing? a celebrity is not a scientist in every field. What about quoting Shakira on those issues?

Yes, I will take the crypto advice from the chairman of the most threatned entity by crypto. He's argument is valid to me though but Crypto is still much better alternative than government issued currencies. Aren't all other paper currencies even worse in some way? if everyone decides to dump a currency, what happen to my savings? if a government will go mad about printing/issuing, isn't all the value diluted (all governments will do that at some point, but the first example that come to mind is Zimbabwe)

Your comment is out of place at so many levels.

First, you don't know there are commercial products being completely open source.

Second, as a user, the one has the right to put their priorities regardless of your irrelevant opinion on them being good or bad.

Finally, I fail to understand the hostility against somebody who simply expressed what they want to see in an editor, something that contributes nicely to the thread, unlike your hostile purely negative comment.

Why integrating the most used IDE/Editor?

Some companies are already moving to remote IDE models for a variety of reasons, I would prefer using this Gitlab IDE over a VPS hosted in the company cloud for sure.

That's the last question I would ask.

I got scammed twice in my life by people from the same country (will let you guess the country). What bugs me the most is the people blaming the victims (oh how can you fall for that..) which gives some sense that scammers are "smart", when they actually exploited/abused the most valuable thing in a functioning society: Trust, that would drag the society way back because now you can't have nice things, you have to doubt, distrust everything you deal with.

For a long time, Twitter/Reddit/FB have been echo chambers of one view and banning everyone questioning even a little bit. At this point, I think everything is better than those, small communities of real people focused on intesrests. G+ had a lot of inspiring REAL people and communities and I see that Mastodon taking that place while it is not yet infected by the mass-trolling campaigns yet.

Definitely. Somehow the author went and brought valid arguments against ETH and web3 but failed completely at point #2.

Just to answer the author concerns about point #2. There are coins with entire Blockchain that can fit in my OnePlus 7. I am from Algeria (a country without a financial system), LTC and XMR are the coins that brought me out of poverty, not because of gambling but they allowed me to do software development consulting online without begging services like Wise to not ban my account for random suspicions.

The author somehow talks about Crypto currency but somehow keeps pointing to flaws in exchangers with KYC.. Again, a lot of progress has been made here, exchangers without KYC emerged (check out Bisq net)...

I just wish people would point out more honest reviews of the such technologies so we can improve together as a society.. Cryptocurrency might not add a lot to your life, but there are many people having access to instant, cheap and secure transactions is a game changer.. I don't care about the legality of it as those broken laws are probably not protecting the average citizen.
