Fzakaria has whatever the opposite is of AI psychosis. He's in an AI flow.

If you adopt ADRs, you also need to adopt the practice of keeping them up-to-date and saying which ADRs are superseded and/or deprecated and by what newer ADRs.

An ADR directory is an immutable append-only log of transactions over the architecture, if the reduction operation over the set leaves a state with contradictions, then your set of ADRs is not well-maintained.

Not saying this is a fault of the devs, I think it's a fault of the people teaching ADRs and telling everyone they're great and you should adopt them. They take time to maintain and keep coherent.

If your team doesn't have processes to do this, then it's like a bank account that everyone can write to, but when the moment comes to withdraw money from it, it turns out a lot of the writes were done with monopoly money instead of real money, and you're suddenly in the red.

There are no easy shortcuts.

I doubt their infrastructure is idle.

Totally possible in Python, but clojure is typically more amenable to this kind of change because of how data is immutable by default, you can just replace without any consequences because the application is already developed with that concept in mind.

For iPython that's totally possible because the model there is just some kind of dependency graph. Regular python programs, much more complex I'd bet unless the architecture takes it into account

That's a default bot in that subreddit, it's there for all posts. I get your criticism but I don't think this was done deliberately.

Please write up your comments as blog posts, articles or whatever you can do.

There is such an incredible amount of bullshit going on in the conversation. You are contributing a point that is necessary for people to start taking into consideration and the only way to get people to talk about it is by repeating it 100 times.

I fear that the AI labs will get their way and we'll get idiotic restrictions that favor them, all in the name of "security" when the reality is they care about power for themselves, not real world security.

Given what I learned from "chaos" by James Gleick, the predicament we're in is that we likely cannot predict outcomes or the events themselves, rather what we know is that weather will become more unpredictable and more extreme.

So the answer to your question is it could be either or both or neither. Whatever happens is going to be on average more extreme than what you're used to.

The author addresses this, no?

> But I did notice an immediate change, especially with words like “traffic.” Traffic makes me feel like I’m just throwing out flypaper and measuring whatever sticks. When I describe website visitors as “readers,” it reminds me that these are real people who have literally billions of other things they could be reading that day, but they’re choosing to spend some of their limited time with me.

Indeed, and I said I stopped using the tool in the comment I made.

Eh, the rendering of Claude Code is genuinely such a mess. I have quit claude code over it because when used as a terminal in PHPStorm it sometimes gets so bad that it becomes hard to use.

This isn't a minor nitpick, it's a pretty major UX issue.

Not saying it's like a massive business downside because I'm just one of a few users, maybe this affects their bottom line a little bit, but probably not by much.

Regardless, switching to pi has been a nice breath of fresh air. It just renders well and smoothly and handles terminal resizes well, which is especially important when used in a terminal window in PHPStorm.

Love it! If this works well I'm going to add it to my basic linux tools toolkit next to htop and the like.

Oh I really like this! The one counterargument that comes to mind is when I think about the likes of C++, where there are many editions and they can be confusing to keep track of.

I'm not sure if you'd want to set one edition in stone every year. Perhaps every 3 years? Or 5 years? Especially for a long-term project like SQLite, that sounds perfectly acceptable!
