Not super surprising. We tend to follow whatever the US does in terms of international politics.

“Kamala supports abortion which I really like. Trump says that he supports weed which I really like.”

If only Kamala Harris made some kind of overt promise to legalize marijuana federally.

fun fact: If you ever see any of those quirky “solve this complex equation for the Wifi password” It’s always either the phone number of the place, or the first X digits of Pi.

if it has a sanitize feature, it would get hot enough to disinfect it too. Just run a couple empty washes with soap on the hottest, longest cycle and you’d be fine

While introducing bugs is certainly a risky side-effect of AI coding, the history of software development has included controversial changes in the past, including the transition from assembly language to higher-level languages, which faced resistance from some programmers who worried about loss of control and efficiency. Similarly, the adoption of object-oriented programming in the 1990s sparked criticism about code complexity and performance overhead. The shift to AI augmentation in coding may be the latest transition that meets resistance from the old guard.

Stepping away from assembly did have that effect though. The tradeoff was that code was easier to make and easier to optimize, but its undeniable that it did lead to a loss of control and efficiency.

Similarly, the shift to object-oriented programming also increased performance overhead, but the tradeoff was that you can seamlessly reuse code which makes larger projects more manageable.

The article is right that AI coding is probably here to stay, but all the disadvantages that people are highliting are real concerns that won’t go away, they’ll just be adopted as the new normal.

Just pay your staff a livable wage and get rid of tipping entirely.

That’s misleading. Their SDK which is used to build their enterprise product is no longer open source. You can still compile the main version without it.

There was a period where you couldn’t, but it was a bug that has now been fixed.

The worst possible thing to happen to any series is the fandom taking things too seriously.

Sometimes its okay to have a series of silly movies about space wizards. It doesn’t need to to have any deeper meaning.

Sometimes meat eater here that has gotten into debates about this before.

Honestly, phrasing it as a “debate” is the wrong headspace entirely. You aren’t going to convince anyone to change any position they hold by arguing. This is a psychology problem more than a vegan one, as people dont like to be made to feel like they’re doing something wrong.

I grew up with boomer parents that served meat with every meal and the thing that got me to reduce my meat intake after moving out was twofold:

• exploring culinary options from other cultures that eat less meat.
• meat being really fucking expensive for someone fresh out of college.

Host a dinner party sometime and show people that the options aren’t just bland tofu flavored to resemble meat like they were in the 90s.

Also, dont expect to fully convert someone. Treat the times they order a dahl from an Indian place instead of a burger as a win.

Isnt this basically what the Catholic Church did in Dogma when they introduced Buddy Christ? Like down to the motivations and everything?
