Yes, but don’t forget one of the variables for the “what to build” equation is the cost of having people now also machines who know how to build it. Jury still out on the machines because the “how” is much more complicated than “make it work, make no mistakes”, but still, the cost of code production has come down so much that the whole equation is different now.

Gitlab, for all it's flaws fits so much better in "regular" company/organization projects. It's more in line on what people involved in software dev and all the tasks around it have as a mental model and less of a "open source dev social network" like Github tried to be almost from the start and lately got Microsofted. An lets not even bring the CI / Github Actions topic..

It’s mostly a marketing exercise and Germans are notoriously bad from an Anglo perspective.

From the opposite side Tesla’s presentation was way “yee-ahh” and tacky from the perspective of other publics

AI is really a dangerous technology, look how fast it’s discovering major security flaws!

> "If you want to preserve it for the next generation, it is on the market right now with a price of $1,495,000."

This is boomer-core all over from the house to the price.

It's an object from another time.

While this is "interesting" for nerds like me.

This is also portrait of how embarrassing, fake, boring and not-racing F1 has become. Even the "boring" low overtaking 00's were orders of magnitude more exciting than this clown show.

This is also one of the consequences of the FIA Emperor being a complete power hungry fool and many competent people being pushed out of the FIA. Congratulations.

Codex Luna, Terra and Sol. Claude Opus, Sonnet and sometime Fable.

They all work, they all are "good", they all are both "smart" and commit incredible basic mistakes a fair amount of times.

Then there's the cost situation..

I sometimes have that feeling too, then ask another LLM to do a code and vulnerability review and OMG: rookie mistakes, over complications and security gaps even a 1st year student would not make regularly.

So.. one more year of untreated bipolar AI psychosis I guess..

This post and comment makes me believe "science" is the new "code" for Anthropic now that the code advantage is mostly gone and lost for OpenAI, ie. they got much better and Claude become significantly worse over these months.

Don’t forget to mention part of those players are the clients.

“Clients” usually are even worse offenders than these extractive scam companies, mostly because the “clients” are playing with someone else’s money, usually the taxpayer.

Just because a thing is true doesn't mean you can apply it. There are vast numbers of active ingredients discovered or developed that are effective in curing many deceases but there aren't "drugs"/pills with it because we haven't found a delivery mechanism for them to be effective where they should in the human body.

Going back to the subject: Have you ever been clinically depressed or dealt with people in that predicament? Getting up from the bed is already a huge win for that day, let alone exercising and doing it consistently and regularly. Even taking medication regularly can be a hit or miss.

So, yeah the prescription is easy to write and thank god it's real and effective, but that's only ~5% of the work.

There has been a long discussion and "conflict" of opinions regarding the use of AI in kernel dev.

Linus is pro-AI as a tool ( and I mostly agree, there are consequences however that at least need to be talked about ). That's why I was talking about firing up those AI machines and fix those CVEs ( "make no mistakes" ).

But it seems every Linux topic related to security or languages is the ultimate mine field for knee-jerk reactions. :)

Linus better put his money where mouth is and fire up those AI tokens ASAP.

I don't consider this a tragedy, it's just unearthing the reality.

Old samurai lost his marbles and his heir to the throne is busy making kingdom ending deals pretending to be an Hollywood mogul.

Life is good, I guess.. Java people should start sweating.

> Petty theft, snatching, pickpockets, scams, etc are relatively uncommon compared to e.g. many popular places in Europe.

Yes, in non-popular places in Europe those are also quite uncommon, even more then in the US on average..

So the lesson here is that those type of crimes are common in tourist heavy places, like.. Times Square in NYC for example.
