CRUD isn't the complexity with CRUD apps. Working with the rest of the business to make sure the processes get built out in ways that make sense and are actually worthwhile is.

So maybe one dev can handle writing five or ten times as many CRUD services as before. The idea that the biz person is gonna get rid of those devs entirely and babysit the coding agents/deploys/etc themselves strikes me as wildly unrealistic, though. Nor is it realistic that SAAS as a market will just dry up because individuals will just have their own coder agents that do everything for them.

Question is if there's going to be an "enough is enough" point feature/change-wise. But I can't think of the last time I worked at a company where the product team and senior management threw up their hands and said "we did it, we finally cleared the entire product development backlog" as opposed to generating ideas at a rate many multiples of the rate of implementation.

The baseline "here's what you can get with a shoestring team" level of output will get higher. But it will also get higher for your competitors. So expectations will just be much higher. So you just gotta move that much faster now.
I mean, OP is working on such a "magical" web framework now. Time will tell how it turns out, and how usable and magical it ends up being. But at least the author isn't just whining; she's put her hands to the keyboard and is going to try to get it done.

> What you're asking for is a DSL built on top of Rust for the purpose of creating web apps.

I don't think that's necessary, personally, but if someone really wanted that, I'm sure they could come up with something that can be wrapped in a Rust macro invocation, that gets expanded to something smaller and faster (compiled-code-wise) than anything you can get in a Rails app.
The stuff I use every day (work/entertainment electronics, cooking stuff, some furniture, and clothes) can fit into a small-ish apartment easily-enough.

But the stuff I use occasionally (like camping gear and car-fixing/woodworking tools) would not fit also into that same apartment, nor would my collection of hobby-related stuff like my (small, but non-zero) collection of vintage audio and computer gear.

I mean: I'm not hoarding MicroSD cards here. I, like many others, have things that take up space.

In order to keep these seldom-used things out of the way while maintaining the hope of having a tidy, presentable home, I need a place with a garage or a basement or an extra bedroom -- or a storage facility. Those things all tend to cost extra.
Colic is medical shorthand for “we have no idea”. Which inherently means there are many, many different & completely unrelated causes of colic.
> power is much easier to get compared to fuel

Only if your power grid is functioning, which I wouldn't expect to be the case in most major disaster situations. Otherwise you'll be stuck burning fuel in a generator to charge your car.

EDIT: the other great thing about liquid fuel is it doesn't weigh very much. Diesel is 7.1lb/gal so if your diesel car gets 32mpg (like mine does) you get 4.5mi/lb. With 1500lb on a trailer--let's say it only gets 20mpg or 2.8mi/lb towing--that's an extra 4200mi of range. That's enough to go from Boston to Anchorage without refueling. It's also a much more easily transferable energy source than electrons--all you need to do is pour liquid from one container into another. You don't need some fancy battery charger that needs stable power at such and such Volts, Watts, and Hz.. So, no, in a disaster or war situation I doubt the EVs will work at all.

I will agree with national geographic. I was afraid it would slip when it was purchased by Murdoch (that's right, isn't it?). But it did not.
somewhat of a side-note: It's interesting to me that the first couple of sentences of the AI podcast sound 'wrong', even though the rest sounds like a real podcast. Is this something to do with having no good initial conditions from which to predict "what comes next"?
> Oh, you didn't learn to do quickly calculate square roots in your head? Instead you spent that time on learning about relativity in high school physics class.

The math examples always get me, because there's a level of understanding missing here that, yes, you should still have:

You may not be able to do the square-root yourself, but you should have a good-enough understanding of what a square-root is that if you enter into a calculator the square-root of a 6-digit number and get back another 6-digit number, you should know immediately that's wrong, and double-check you entered it correctly.

Part of the concern a lot of us have is people who not only do not have that understanding, but that think it's unnecessary to get that understanding, and skip over it entirely.
No, it’s under attack due to their relentless drive to prioritize users being force fed “profitable” ads over useful search results.

The only reason for BS “AI” answers is to launder theft of web content that they might otherwise have to pay ad revenue to. They did this previously by “helpfully” including (the ad free) text from sites, and having been told copyright violation is not acceptable just because you have billions of dollars they’re doing I again but claiming an “ai” wrote the content. No different from claiming pilot violating the GPL and similar en mass.

The naive idea that your views are somehow the inherently non-political and scientifically objective perspective is silly. The fact is that everything is political because there will always be people who build identities around denying reality and evidence, at the cost of everyone else.
Crud apps can unexpectedly become surprisingly complicated. Take the humble to -do list for example.

So you can create, edit, even delete to-dos, and it’s even hosted online.

* Once a user has a lot of to-do’s, they might want to organize them. You could organize them hierarchically, or with tags, or represented as a graph.

* what if somebody makes an a new to do or an edit while their cell phone is out of service?

* Are multiple users supported? Can users collaborate on a single to-do? Are entire organizations supported?

* what happens if somebody accidentally deletes a to-do? Can they ever get it back?

* What about concurrent edits to the same to-do?

* Can just anybody make to-dos? What if somebody writes a bot to make millions of to-dos on your website?

* If I load up my to-do list when my phone has no service, do I just get a loading spinner?

The perfect to-do app might actually take an expert a year or more to write. Then it still has to generate a profit somehow.
Maybe spare tire would be more equivalent?

For example, teslas have no spare tires or repair kits, and give you a phone number when you get a flat. This removes your independence in favor of dependence on their road service (when under warranty).
Sorry, but I'll be concerned if and only if my peers using AI start catching up to those who aren't.

Only, it's not like that.

It's like:

There's no 'newline character' in the input we are parsing here.

Cars radios are battery powered so will continue to work during power outages, and large enough that adding an AM radio + antenna is not really an issue - unlike a mobile phone. Seems like a good way to ensure most of the population has access to emergency broadcasts.

No, NotebookLM creates summaries and podcasts, or answers questions specifically from the documents you feed it.

It's such a cool concept, but yeah, when I've listened to it and Illuminate, it's also a bit scant on details too. Neat technology, even engaging, but not good for more than best-effort high level summaries.

2020 bubble hiring was weird enough that I mostly throw out the 2020 hiring and the 2022 layoffs both and just look at things compared to 2018/2019. That ramp-up in the 2010s was called a bubble for years even before Covid but has never popped yet. The expected product bar just keeps getting hire instead.
Next-generation epigenetic buccal clock predictive of mortality in human blood
Edwin V. Gray’s work on cold electricity represents a rediscovery of Tesla’s early ideas about radiant energy, pushing them into new realms of possibility. The ability to generate overunity power and the potential for healing applications elevate cold electricity beyond conventional electrical systems. Despite the challenges and setbacks in fully realizing these technologies in modern systems, Gray’s inventions continue to inspire those seeking to unlock the hidden potential of Ether field physics. By revisiting the principles of cold electricity and radiant energy, modern science might one day tap into a source of clean, limitless power with the potential to revolutionize both energy production and healthcare.
That's simply not factually correct. You can use bank web sites entirely without a smartphone. Banks supply this option as there are really - surprise! - people without smart phones who still has money.

My own bank does not even use 2FA. I log in using the officiel state sponsored digital ID (yes, without having a smartphone). This is in Denmark.

The source of this terminology difference is that continents have no universal definition, only societal convention. Romance language–speaking countries tend to teach the six‐continent model with a single America, whereas Anglophone countries like the UK, Australia, and USA teach the seven‐continent model with North and South America. Neither side is wrong, since there’s no universally agreed upon idea of what the continents are, only convention (and neither convention matches the current geological consensus either). The equivalent term to Spanish “America” in English is “the Americas,” not “America.” My Brazilian friends consider themselves “American,” but I’ve never met a Canadian who did.
Everyone understands that, Brian! If i told you that "I was able to learn so much about Russian by using AI", would you expect that I SHOULD or SHOULD NOT be able to tell you something about what I've learned without writing multiple paragraphs about something else entirely? We are now four levels deep from the actual question.
95% of real dev work is digging through piles of brownfield spaghetti to fix a bug or implement a feature. human-provided descriptions of the bug to fix or the feature to implement are often so vague that even a human developer can barely comprehend them. also more often than not, a visual link is required between the developer and the product being fixed/improved.

hypothetical AI will replace humans, sure. LLMs probably won't. original GPT4 was the best coding LLM I dealt with, and it was 1.5+ years ago. the context size was pitiful, yes, but it was a lot smarter than the current crop of big models.

> I think rust is just safer period, regardless of your level of expertise or background. Or are you saying that every memory safety bug was written in by someone inexperienced?

I think you're reading too much into that and creating conflict where there isn't any. GP just meant that they had a bunch of interpreted language OOP developers (probably Java or C# or something like that), and they wanted them to start writing code in an AOT-compiled language (yes, I know about Graal native image; not the point). And that teaching them Rust is probably going to result in safer code than if they were to teach them C or C++.

That shouldn't be a controversial statement.

if you design the protocol well you could easily make a digital signal degrade cleanly. rather than sending a plain signal, break it up into a low, medium and high fidelity version where the higher fidelity versions store extra frequency info but the low quality ones have more error correction

I don't see this anywhere, what kind of music were you listening to? Was there anything about how loud the volume of the music or something.

Just curious.
The study as a whole wasn't isocaloric so I don't know what point you're trying to make. Why are you trying to make claims based on junk science?
> force you to do memory management

This is not my experience at all. I never think about memory management when I'm writing Rust, let alone am I "doing it" (active voice).

Your second comment is a very weird sentence that is very difficult for me to grok.
As far as everything on uops.info goes, ternlog has the same throughput and latency as the two-operand logic instructions everywhere (with the mild exception of Zen 4 where it goes from 0.50 to 0.56 cycles/instr; which also shows as having 2-cycle latency to one operand but I think that might be measurement error), so it's always bad to decompose ternlog into two two-operand logic ops.
At least a full fourth of the ASCII code points, 0x00-0x1F, are not printable. A bit more, as we should add del (0x7F) and, according to some though more controversially, space (0x20).
Dune series. Still a unique and thoughtful take on a future space-faring humanity.

The idea of the 'Butlerian Jihad', a galactic wide outlawing of AI basically, seems even more prescient today than it would have in the 60s when it was written.
If you are counting stone circles, it seems unfair not to count 5000 year old mounds in the US.
> How else are you going to write a poem, or an address, in a text file?

You don't understand what "hard-wrapping text" is, then, because neither of those things involve hard-wrapping in the sense that we're discussing.

Hard-wrapping (in the context that we're clearly using it) is where you add a newline in the middle of content to manually fit it to a terminal window or some other container. In poems or addresses, the newline is part of the formatting, just like when you're writing two paragraphs you separate them with a newline. That's categorically different than the hard-wrapping being discussed anywhere in this thread, where non-content linebreaks are being added to fit a specific width. You may want to re-read the surrounding comments, because you clearly missed something.

> No.

This is factually incorrect, because my statement "if you hard-wrap your text to 80 characters, and someone has a window that fits 100 characters at their desired text size - you're wasting 20% of their screen space." is factually correct. You are wasting their screen space.

> Long text lines are unreadable.

That's why we have soft-wrapping. Are you using a computer from the past few decades? All of them have the ability to soft-wrap text.

> Hard-wrapping text at 60 or 70 characters is perfectly appropriate and does not waste anybody's screen space.

Factually incorrect. If you hard-wrap at 60 characters and someone has a viewport that's 59 characters, then you waste close to 50% of their screen space due to the overflow and cause massive viewing headaches. If you hard-wrap at 60 characters and someone has a viewport that's 120 characters (which is a very reasonable value - mine is 173 normally or 147 on a bad-eyes day), you also waste 50% of their screen space. This is not an opinion - this is a fact.

You should stop saying things that are objectively false, and especially advocating for harmful practices based on them.

Apart from the nutrients from breastfeeding, I recall that it is part of an immune system feedback loop. If the child is fighting off something, it is transferred to the nipple during breastfeeding. The mother's immune system develops a response and provides help to the child in the breast milk next feeding.

> Those working in specialized fields will hold on for much longer.

The thing about AI up to this point is that it has replaced, well, very few jobs, but what jobs it seems to be most capable of replacing are extremely counter-intuitive. Eight years ago, everyone thought it would be: self-driving, machines, hard labor, etc. Turns out that stuff is really hard, and the first industries to fall were actually the more creative ones like writing and art.

If you have an intuition for how the next ten years will look, I'd implore you to be open to the reality that there is no way you could have predicted the world-state of 2024 from the perspective of 2019; and that's only 5 years.

Here's the counter-intuitive take that I believe to be true: Specialized coding might fall faster than generalist CRUD apps, if either falls at all. The value in specialized engineering is biased a lot heavier toward knowledge of the specialized thing you know about. Versus, the problems generalist CRUD coders deal with every day aren't actually technical or coding problems; they're business problems, coordination, resource allocation, and politics. AI has demonstrated itself as being pretty good at knowing things, even highly specialized things; it has not demonstrated itself as being very good at taking responsibility for its actions.
From Wikipedia -

The Blackberry Storm sold 500,000 units in its first month and 1 million units by January 2009.[15] However, Verizon had to replace almost all of the one million Storm smartphones sold in 2008 due to issues with the SurePress touch screen [16] and claimed $500 million in losses.
Wake me when AI is useful for more than novices in a field, in a small codebase, which is where I've seen the people most bullish on LLMs improving their productivity.
You don't need these gymnastics of knowing ASCII in Python quines:

a = '''a = {}
print(a.format(repr(a)))'''
print(a.format(repr(a)))

(OK, it's not a quine yet, because the output has slightly different formatting. But the formatting very quickly reaches a fixed point, if you keep feeding it into a Python interpreter.)

The actual quine is the slightly less readable:

a = 'a = {}\nprint(a.format(repr(a)))'
print(a.format(repr(a)))

https://github.com/matthiasgoergens/Quine/blob/c53f187a4b403... has a C quine that doesn't rely on ASCII values either.
Code that we need later is `async import`-ed.

Worrying about lifetimes is memory management that is unnecessary with GC languages and directly increases cognitive load.

My second paragraph is pointing out that "where I can open something like Notepad without an LSP or highlighting" is a strange qualifier. Why does it matter if you don't have semantic analysis in your editor? You certainly didn't explain it.

I'm the other way around I guess - a lot of anxiety when I'm forced to touch fragile bits written in Ruby, Python and JS at work. Part of it might be the terrible tooling story in each of those language ecosystems as well.

Last week I deployed a Ruby change where a missed comma between two strings in an array did not get picked up by any of the automated tooling or by 3 other team members who code reviewed my change, and ended up cutting 50+ sev2s at 10pm.

AWS folks can probably guess which internal tool I had to touch that requires Ruby.
