and they're still worse than the 1970s state of the art lol
whateveracct··on Software for One
I guess the real thing here is society takes parents away from their children because those parents need to be used for value
whateveracct··on Software for One
it's sleep training

it is insane and unnatural but it is also common

fundamentally capitalist concept

contact napping to beyond 1yo is deeply natural and special

uh oh
whateveracct··on Golang proposal: container/: generic collection types
> "Everything is a trade-off" assumes you're on the Pareto frontier.

100%. it pisses me off so much that i have to hear this idea thrown around constantly.

whateveracct··on Premier league bans gambling sponsors
sports gambling? yeah it is
whateveracct··on AI productivity gains are closer to 10% than 10x
3x? a year of work in 4 months?

it's almost August - companies should have two years of progress since Jan 1 2026.

whateveracct··on 2x, not 10x: coding with LLMs in 2026
> So maybe there's 2x speedup in coding. But that's only a small speedup in the totality of everything software engineers do.

Amdahl's Law should be familiar to anyone with a 4y computer science/engineering degree. Why aren't they applying it to their own throughput?

it was partially a marketing stunt
whateveracct··on Apple Will 'Watch Everything Burn' When the AI Bubble Bursts
that $1.5k is ostensibly not coming out of productivity gains from the AI though.

it's coming out of the salary budget from what i've seen. i've seen a company both say "AI max. it's the future! don't be late" and then go on to increase limits to compensation across the board.

whateveracct··on Apple Will 'Watch Everything Burn' When the AI Bubble Bursts
that's an organic thing

the pro-AI side on the other hand has poured billions into ads and marketing and CEOs are forcing it on people due to a combo of FOMO, personal investments in AI (CEO, board, investor), etc

whateveracct··on Apple Will 'Watch Everything Burn' When the AI Bubble Bursts
remember, how useful LLMs are is inversely proportional to your skills.

i have yet to have an LLM beat me. i am forced to try regularly so i don't look like an AI anti at a company that is very much SV pilled

his agenda is less existential and backed by less money and power than Sam A and Dario's
whateveracct··on Git rebase -i is not that scary
i edit my commit dates constantly for various reasons

get ahead at work? split into commits and make it look like multiple days of work

work on your own IP during work hours? edit the timestamp to be outside work hours (i even have a script for this)

whateveracct··on The AI Productivity Illusion
coding wasn't ever the bottleneck or even a large contributor to outcomes. same for lots of this other stuff LLMs do.

so even if you 10x your coding, you aren't gonna have an appreciable effect on total output

whateveracct··on Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects
i'm not an idiot. i can just a git repo in a variety of ways. it's just a bunch of text.

i'm sure the guy you're replying to also wants to "legalize comedy"

wow so codeberg is goated?
whateveracct··on Czechia moves to ban mobile phones in schools from September 2027
> But if kids refuse to put their phones away during classes, teachers have no right to take them since they are the kids' personal property. And yes, it is in the school rules that you cannot use your phone during class.

Is this true? When I was in high school, teachers could take away your phones.

whateveracct··on Claude Fable produced a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture
the ROI just isn't there. they aren't making these capital investments back in the next decade even.

not to mention the trillions yet to be spent.

it kinda all works but it's an earth-scale blood from a stone. the resources needed to even do these parlor tricks is nutso.

whateveracct··on Anthropic runs large-scale code migrations with Claude Code
yes the whole thing was partially a big marketing stunt
whateveracct··on Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now
> Honestly, I initially thought rewriting an entire codebase with AI would be a huge mistake. After reading this, I'm starting to think I was wrong.

> If projects like Bun can be substantially rewritten and shipped to millions of users, it suggests we're entering a very different phase of software development.

exactly. this wasn't a technical project. this was a marketing stunt that worked on you.

whateveracct··on NYC may require landlords and realtors to disclose the use of AI in listings
> Because it's to an extreme degree a landlord's market and thus none of them have any incentive to do more than the bare minimum?

okay let's change that? seems bad

whateveracct··on The Kimi K3 Moment
anthropic model output is not their IP

that would be existential doom for them because then they have a case to claim ownership of their users' codebases

no corporation would sign off on that

oh..

whateveracct··on MoonBASIC: A modern BASIC for building 2D and 3D games
1. Nobody is forcing you to use AI. You can build cool stuff slower by hand. There are benefits, even. You can just..stop

2. This is full of "co-authored with cursoragent" so this is ..not (1) lol so who cares
