No worries, future Skynet will publish upgrades to these.

Joke aside, these do represent surface of attack.

Predictable yeah. We're far better to find the right overarching narrative of the architecture and the necessary intermediate layers of abstractions. LLMs will invent verbal structs that sound okay but not have the elegance of a senior OOP. Although once the good foundation is there, agents can be great at extending and maintaining features on it.

"We have souls. We have an inner self. We can treat ourselves as transcendental subjects in the Kantian sense. We have emotions and spiritual life; we experience qualia. These entities are not obtained by addition to a physical state, but by subtraction from a complete physical account. Mental processes are physical processes described in a way that captures only their salient characteristics."

That's the emergence hypothesis. Largely insufficient [1] and the one of every person that doesn't really understand Gödel’s first incompleteness theorem tends to embrace.

[1] "We can treat ourselves as transcendental subjects" there is a confusion about expressions of a phenomenon (referent) and real phenomenons (object). It denies Qualia by reducing it to a verbal expression supported by an insufficient model of the universe (current state of Physics).

This is the Let's deal with the phenomenon of Qualia by denying its existence thesis.

Is not undefinable. Unless you have an incomplete model to understand the universe. Which is exactly our case.

Precieh*Rust*emsely

Calm and curious about your results.

I hope you get the code elegant and not only maintainable but future friendly and performant.

Why go/no-go decisions still run on faith in contracts, and the gap between pipelines that prove correctness and pipelines that produce evidence.

Also, it's supremely easy do the wrong abstractions long term and compromise premature internal designs that will start to starve of human mental modeling, hence explaining with accountability how things work and what the plans are when an incident happens. Also, if the wrong generalizations are introduced, coded correctly and reviewed and approved by AIs, then who's even driving really?

Hypernormalisation yes!

Curtis is my favorite documentalist :)

All the others are great too but Hypernormalisation is the most relevant to this.

Watching that one and Yuri Bezmenov's masterclass and long interview are life changing

They are a human factory setting that AI is amplifying to unprecedented new levels by making engineering them in industrial scale brutally cheap.

The chapter of fake-news is over folks. We just started the everything is a lie unless the opposite is proven.

Reminds me of not long ago someone writing about "Everything is Lies Now"

Yeah competence degradation is a worrisome byproduct of this.

This signals something that is happening somehow predictably due to the increasing abundance of code. It exponentially grows the surface offered for understanding (text as in comments, docs etc) and our attention bandwidth, well, is not exponentially growing, so...

Proved that read is not causation of understanding but mere correlation.

So if the read of the Miller principle is interpreted as read+understanding (it should) an interesting deeper discussion can happen.

It can be invoked with a way more dramatic "None understands anything"

In a not so far future, people will be amazed that these dense pieces of source code were done by hand and meant to be maintained by people. Same type of amazing you see when thinking in the internals of The Silver Swan or any other famous mechanical automaton.

Anyone else worried about the long term consequences of the influence of talking like this all day for the cognitive system of the user?

Yeah we need to make curated human signals stronger.

Agree, is a fiction based in accepting the premise of zero-sum game.

It denies that more advanced civilizations might have better models of the universe where they know this isn't an issue and we're just stupid teenagers in the neighborhood playing dangerous games and merely taking a look every now and then to see if we prove we will survive ourselves.

We need something like this for every country.

That's a rationalized guess, not an answer to any of my 2 questions.

What's the proof for succession?

How was discarded that the impact were simultaneous instead? Like spreading from a catapulted bunch of pellets?

I think we already need to flow back and forth in both modes. Because you steer from the chat more ambitious changes (zoom out) but then you need to still have the power to go full high res and zoom in in whatever you need.

From architecture to system programming smoothly. We need to nail that.

OpenCode is the almost good IDE I need.

What does well: helps context switching by using one window to control many repos with many worktrees each.

What can do better? It's putting AI too much in control? What if I want to edit a function myself in the workspace I'm working on? or select a snippet and refer that in the promp? without that I feel it's missing a non-negotiable feature.

Okay this is reaching me like 30 years later.

My current one I don't like it as much as the one I used to have. That old one would turn into a font and feel cool.

I'm unable to like anything offering me to observe the library with something different than a hierarchy.

Abstractions have to be earned.

Abstractions have to be exposed so they can be either questioned or exuding their properly valued and time tested structural ontology.

In 2015 I wrote how a cool Smalltalk IDE in a web browser would be:

Funny to see this after me being influenced to use em dashes more adequately in my blog :)

Good to know so I don't do it x10 more :D

Surprisingly close minded and selective read. That way you'll see black swans even in paradise (or the whatever utopialand of your choice).
