Future workforce is fucking cooked.
Yep, and I predict that programmers actually understanding code (and especially being able to quickly and thoroughly review code), are becoming increasingly valuable (again?) in the future, when someone really has to guarantee what the AI actually generated (and let me tell you there are still so many stupid things the AI does…).
Nah please, we need younger actually representatives of the population, not ancient people (as much as I like Sanders). There’s various young progressive candidates that are suitable when the Dems allow them…
Which I think is almost worse… think about concentration/extermination camps (which I think our animal industry is basically)
And it’s perfectly healthy to be vegan (maybe even more healthy at this point when done right, than meat consumption).
My main reason though for that is less moral than just wanting to be less wasteful, i.e. meat is just inefficient. I predict that we at some point will move past meat consumption, it’s just not necessary, even when considering taste…
I’m not even sure about plants not having something similar as a nervous system. They live on different timescale, but it’s impressive what e.g. Trees in forests are capable of (with a little help of funghi)
Ok, I like that attitude, but could you go into more detail? AFAIK hardware wise the samsung will likely be better in every way I think?
Anyone told you bout NixOS? It’s off-charts, but the secret true final destination…
Don’t forget that the Internet is currently ruined by AI-slop that is continuously flooding once interesting human-created content. This is probably my biggest gripe of AI. I’ve significantly reduced my screen-time, basically stopped coding in my free-time because of this sloppy mess that we call Internet right now…
reasonably well
hmm not in my experience, if you don’t care about code-quality you can quickly prototype slop, and see if it generally works, but maintainable code? I always fall back to manual coding, and often my code is like 30% of the length of what AI generates, more readable, efficient etc.
If you constrain it a lot, it might work reasonably, but then I often think, that instead of writing a multi-paragraph prompt, just writing the code might’ve been more effective (long-term that is).
plan it correctly and the actual implementation of the correct plan will take no time at all.
That’s why I don’t think AI really helps that much, because you still have to think and understand (at least if you value your product/code), and that’s what takes the most time, not typing etc.
it‘s just different.
Yeah it makes you dumber, because you’re tempted to not think into the problem, and reviewing code is less effective in understanding what is going on within code (IME, although I think especially nowadays it’s a valuable skill to be able to review quickly and effectively).
Unfortunately it’s a general theme in Open Source. I lost almost all motivation for programming in my free-time because of all these AI-slop(-PRs). It’s kinda sad, how that Art (among others) is flooded with slop…
No it’s not entirely clearly defined. But a few elements appear in all of them: Anti- communism/socialism, dictator, far-right idiologies, nationalism…
I wouldn’t say any if these are desired by leftism, or rather opposites.
Average Amazon experience these days (stop buying from them, enshitification is strongly progressed there)

because the massive ecosystem of JS components makes you more productive.
Slightly less ironic: I question even this right now (as I have to suffer from endless “hot”-reloading and browser-crashes because of Next.js bloat).
I think the massive ecosystem has fewer high quality libraries than Rust at this point. I use both JS/TS in frontend and Rust (either frontend more as a hobby and backend) extensively, and I very often check the dependencies-source, and even more often rewrite it (unfortunately not in Rust), because of low-quality. And it’s sooo slow… the tooling and the frontend (albeit I think that has a very lot to do with next.js… and with how easy it is to make it slow for someone not that experienced or someone not being extremely careful).
Frontend is not yet as matured as JS/TS (whatever matured is, but the count of frontend frameworks is at least a magnitude higher in JS/TS), but I think when I would start a new company I would default to Rust now as frontend indeed, the language itself is for me reason. And I think vanilla-js (or Rust?) is not that much worse (time/effort-wise, sanity etc.) for more complex applications than what the Next.js ecosystem has produced so far.
Actually, my (not that small) Rust projects now take officially less time to cold compile than the “hot” reloading of our next.js monster in my job. Incremental compilation is at least an order of magnitude faster. And cherry on top, dumb code is often 100x faster than js.
You can’t imagine how often I just sweared today about js. What did go through the mind of their designers, when they created this growing disease, and why did web browsers accept this as the lingua franca for the web. So… much… pain…
Definitely not your average Rust code, more like a very ugly example of it.
Also, as the syntax first put me off as well, I gave it a chance years afterwards, and have now (or rather years ago) officially joined the church of Rust evangelism.
A lot of the syntax you define as ugly makes sense when you learn it, it’s just so much more explicit than a more dynamic language, but that exactly saves your ass a lot (it did for me at the very least) (I don’t mean macros, macros are ugly and should be avoided if possible)
Right… And the best tool for every job is of course Rust.
So basically how it always was?
There’s a reason why there are billionaires…
But yeah it’s likely getting worse, like an elite and otherwise brain-dead propaganda following society (to exaggerate a little bit…). Initially after reading Adorno years ago, I never thought that the rather negative way he wrote, and something like the third Reich will not happen again, yet here we are repeating mistakes, fueled by accelerating climate-change (and the resulting conflicts)…
We are leaving (or rather have left) the most peaceful era of humanity, back to smashing each others heads without a real reason, leaving a more positive holistic utopian future… Sad.
