That is the screen size. I think the 14 inch body is probably close to the same size as the 13 inch. Maybe I am wrong.

We only do this because the government is greedy.

The amount I have lost in taxes alone would have set me and my family up for life.

The only question is would I have been paid as much if the cost of living was not so high? And would less taxes had an effect on the cost of living and what I got paid.

The problem with taxes is I have no choice. And when over 50% of my income goes to taxes it feels like robbery.

The tax system is specific designed to also keep those with more at odds with those who have less. Otherwise we would vote takes out in a heartbeat. We can’t really talk about taxes as one people until we all pay the same %. A fair share is not knows when more % simply because I made more. A % already bakes in fairness.

So I propose our first tax reform is everybody pays 51% on all forms of income. One term later we would have true tax reform that actually made sense.

It did what you asked. Had you first told it to figure out why the error was being lost, You would have had a very different follow up prompt.

Are security updates immune ?

They were the trained on human text right? So maybe that is the way human text as whole reads.

Maybe what we are seeing is us internet dwellers being exposed to wiring styles of humanity we had not been exposed to ?

Exactly. They want people to be scared because they see where this is going. Soon AI will be building AI and anybody will be able to do what they are doing. And the winner is hardware, not software.

So they goal is to hype up the dangers real or not so high that they forbid others from doing what they are doing because they are the only ones who can safely do it.

The problem is not vibe coding. The problem is the people doing this were never good software engineers before vibe coding.

Simply put you still need good practices to produce working good code with AI.

Oddly what I have found best is patterns that many would cringe and demeans unit test and integration test.

Yes I still vibe unit test and integration test, but more than ever I have to put on my PM and QA hat, even more so with web dev.

For me the only part of the process that has changed is I don’t write the code. I still setup environments to run the code, I still manually poke at things I suspect will be fragile. But most importantly I still always run the software before shipping it.

This does not look like C

Would use this at a fairly large company if we had windows and Mac support, probably could get budget to pay for the features it’s missing.

The only people being ignorant at the ones saying deepfakes are illegal.

It’s more complicated than what is being touted as fact.

In most jurisdictions creation is legal, it’s publishing them that is not. In some jurisdictions threatening to publish them is also illegal. Most jurisdictions that have a creation policy apply to doing deepfakes they sexualize minors, which likely would have been illegal to possess under other laws.

Then we have a consent issue. Creating and publishing them could be entirely legal if the subject consents to such.

So yah. It’s not “deep fakes are illegal, let’s arrest everybody !!!”

To be clear, creation is likely legal, publishing not so much.

Additionally, intent is important with regard to AI hacking.

Are you sure? What if I painted the image , but happen to have a photo realistic capabilities ?

Same here, 20+ years, no degree. but have a slightly different view about folks with CS degrees.

It really comes down to the individual. Those who are good with CS degrees would likely be good without them. The majority of those who picked CS as a degree because “it pays well” are truly awful. Only a small handful end up enjoying and understand how to write code and make good software.

Oh man, I have that too. I am always told by my best friend "well, you go it right, but entirely wrong words" -- or something to the effect I got the feeling, notion, or concept right, but the wrong words.

This has affected me a lot though, I know what is going on in songs, but can't ever remember the right words, but still some how end up sining stuff that means the same thing :/

Might be unpopular, but agents write too much code for humans to read in any meaningful time frame. Using agents to generate code to then require humans to slowly consume it defeats a lot of the speed you gain from AI.

I my self and teams members are slowly reading less code and requiring agents to prove things work the way we want in other ways.

Rust is better. It just is. Go is not bad. But as a long time go advocate, the hurdle for my teams using rust is gone, and thus everything is now rust.
