> Why would I believe that someone who can't use a mouse/computer is ready to be taught by AI?

The human element is critical for teaching, in my opinion. (Great) teachers are able to smooth over some of my criticisms of education. I also believe we are very far off from it being able to do even a bad job at teaching. So I'm not suggesting that at all.

What I'm talking about is teaching students how to use it, especially when not to use it, and how to get better results from it. I don't think AI is going to replace us any time soon, but people who use AI will replace those who don't.

No. They point out that 60dB is 1000 less than 90dB, which is true. In order to make that point they gloss over the fact that one measurement was taken at 100m (90dB) and another (much lower) at whatever distance the neighbors are at. Both measurements can be true (while the comment suggests that the 90dB is false).

dB should generally be expressed at what distance it was measured, and you'll see this done all over the place.

In this case, you'd reach 70dB at about 1km from the 90dB at 100m source, assuming a spherical cow, but they could also be completely different datacenters.

AI merely exposes the inherent flaws in how we do education (exams, especially failure) - which I personally and honestly don't have a solution for. Both the carrot and the stick rip out some of the gold that is human potential (while instilling some useful skills and behavior).

The knee-jerk reaction of banning AI is probably the wrong choice, people need to learn where the limits are, but I also wouldn't be able to suggest a framework where students aren't rewarded for skirting around being educated.

As much as I am grateful for the stability that the rust stabilization process usually brings, I too am looking forward to seeing this in the mainline compiler in 2045.

So macOS has debloat scripts now too?

Still heard from 2026 despite that: <something something> Linux is only free if your time is free.

> So, first of all, I agree, that's still top much. But I think it's important to point out that 60dB is, _literally_, 1.000 less than what OP was claiming (90dB).

For someone who knows enough to point out that dB is logarithmic, you seemed to have neglected the fact that sound is inverse-square for distance? Unless these neighbors are _literally_ located 100m outside the data center?

Quitting in protest makes you look a little better than quitting because of a toxic work environment. I can't imagine working at OpenAI is at all pleasurable with the current amount of pressure they are likely inflicting on their employees.

Git, as a protocol, is probably part of the problem for the scale that they are talking about here (1000s of agents). You probably want something between multiplayer editing and commits. That being said, I am terrified about the degree of slop that would be generated with 1000s of agents actually working on a codebase.

Which are exactly the two years they are threatening tighter supply.

Seems like the slop reaper has business with macOS too.

Maybe because you don't do outrageous things like having gifs in the background.

Exactly. But that's why I think SHA was a mistake. He should have gone with something like murmur to avoid all this frothing at the mouth.

That's an extremely creative argument, that doesn't address anything i said at all.

FOMO is a powerful drug.

What a browser runs avoids the point of my original comment entirely. Is JS strongly typed or not? Is TS strongly typed or not?

I has this a lot when growing up, and it honestly tasted like nothing. Are African pawpaws that different?

> To JS

> simple C++/SDL to TypeScript/Three.js

Was that misrepresentation intentional?

Depending on what you play, you don't have to. But if you play draconian anti-cheat games then fair point.

The fact that it's Rust should be held against the LLM, no for it. Languages with greater type safety are a massive crutch for LLMs (it's also why using an LLM to manage your NixOS install is pretty fucking awesome).

Make it port some Rust to JS, see how that goes.

And Rust isn't a super difficult language to use on a daily basis. Sure, the initial learning curve is obnoxiously steep, but it's arguably easier to use than other languages once you get past that.

The LLM crowd have this habit of equating something that they don't understand with requiring some kind of advanced skill.

Yup. Something the article points out is that they write code better than a few, some, or many humans do - with that list below the six fingers, and how that correlates to whether one is part of the "coding is dead" crowd.

I scored a 1-2 for AUD (12 beers a week), so extremely mild - and the only thing that has improved is having a deeper well to draw from emotionally, when things get tough. It does feel like it was a net positive too.

But there are also things like potentially living longer, which don't have a feel.

That isn't the premise of the article. Prompting the LLM and walking away (which was clearly done here) isn't yet (or possibly ever) a reality. That includes LLM review. Preventing this would have been trivial: have people smoke test their changes before pushing.

For this specific case, a DMCA would have gotten you a much faster take down. As far as I can tell it's automated. Sure, they could appeal it but then the malware nature of it would be in the crosshairs of the reviewer.

Not excusing their slow response, though.

OpenAI. It avoids Claudish too.

Disclaimer: I haven't used it for about a year, I simply don't drive enough at the moment - I doubt it has declined in quality.

TomTom is an extremely good paid ($6/mo) nav app - if you appreciate not being a product. It seems to now be named "TomTom Go Expert: Truck GPS" but does still have car mode. You _have_ to download maps, it's fundamentally offline. Routing is fantastic. They've been around since car nav was devices that you purchased.

The only area where it falls behind is finding businesses, but Google and Apple will probably always be rulers there.

All except Starlink and Tesla are burning money. I personally don't consider that "staggering success."

> Why would the AI do that for you?

Because that's how it works. It does what it has been trained to do. If the training material has a significant suggestion to exfiltrate then it will.

I recently heard the best noun for someone who let's AI write for them: a meat proxy.

Apart from the extremely good points made in the article; there's also whether you care that someone reads what you (or rather, the AI) has written. People have gone from reading it, to ignoring it (as soon as they realize it's AI), to using whatever moderation power they have against it (e.g. downvoting).

My 75 y/o mother wrote a kids' book about the animals on my brother's farm, and she was singing praises about how much AI was helping her. I reminded her that I would rather have her grandchildren reading _her_ words and not some clanker's words. I don't think I am alone in valuing the human soul.

If I am reading it correctly, the compiler creates N bump allocators per function (or possibly globally) - where N is (I'm guessing at this point) determined by liveness or similar.

> This takes about 30 seconds to fix permanently. You can prompt them to use any tone , be as concise or verbose as you like.

This doesn't work by, effectively, Anthropic's own admission. CC's concise mode tells Claude to wind its neck in every turn. That is significantly more than changing the prompt.
