Yes, thank you! I had a lot of fun playing around with Nim and other mathematical games after I watched [talk on surreal numbers by Tom Hall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpXoluxBYw0). But the transfinite version went completely over my head.

Also, I find it funny that reading about Nim is how I learned the term misère, even though I played lots of misère games before without realizing!
I mean it’s raw data, putting “findings” in quotes does not change the fact that this is concrete evidence of corruption.

I'd use the Rhino Editor for that. It's based on TipTap and is very extendable. I used it in a few projects and loved it.
This is really helpful. I take something different from it than you do (it looks like attrition starkly increases after 2014, in ways I'd strongly argue it's reasonable to attribute to the new hiring methods), but I'm grateful you posted it. Do you know if more complete/precise numbers are available anywhere (hiring counts, hiring+attrition, etc?

I'm aware of this but it leaves attrition to be inferred.

If it won't impact your margins or the customer's willingness to pay for the product then it is difficult to justify.

I've been involved with (and responsible for) many "developer aesthetic" refactors over the years. They feel good in the moment but after blowing 2-3 weeks with regression testing, hot patches, etc., you start to wonder if it was all worth it.

There is stuff that is properly nasty and needs to be dealt with, but if you are spinning your wheels on things like namespaces being stuck on old company/product names, I would just give it up and move on. The average customer cannot see any of the things that frustrate us unless they are being done very poorly.
Its lightyears ahead on the name.
Remember that book. Guys remember that book that says adding more programmers actually doesn't speed up but extends the projects completion time!

I read that book I am learned. The unlearned probably thinks the name refers to a planes copilot.
Thank you for your kind words.

The irony doesn't end there, later in the post they say

"We’re excited to share a first look at our autonomous SWE agent and how we envision these types of agents will fit into the GitHub user experience. When the product we are building under the codename Project Padawan ships later this year, it will allow you to directly assign issues to GitHub Copilot, using any of the GitHub clients, and have it produce fully tested pull requests."

- Effectively they have completely automated SWE job, pair programmer was just a marketing speak, real intention is clear.
It's mostly a wrapper around various LLMs and you can pick the model. The answer in the parent post came from DeepSeek-R1. You can chose between various OpenAI models, Claude, Grok-2 etc.
Think secondary effects. What does a world in which almost every programmer can be automated look like? It looks like massive extremely fast technological development, how to build and program robotics will be solved almost instantly.
With solved robotics goes every other labor.

We don't get the same current X productivity with 1/100th the people. We get 100x productivity, controlled by a few people / megacorps, until they lose control of it too.

Right, physics runs on differential equations and sinusoids/exponentials are eigenfunctions of differential equations.

You can project reality onto any complete basis of functions you like, but this one tends to diagonalize the physics of our universe, which is an overpowered ability inside of our universe.

Yeah. I just wish that VSCode didn't feel so crude coming from 10+ years using JetBrains IDEs. Things I feel are table stakes like nice test run/debug functionality seem like big hurdles. Perhaps it's just a learning curve & I need to get used to it, but whenever I dive into how to replicate functionality I feel is important it seems the answer is at best "it's complicated".

It's a shame as this is by far not the only thing in which I have interest that seems to have fully shifted over to VSCode

It's a little known fact that the Chinese government has perfected a way to grab user data from offline AI systems by stealth. Every morning at 3am, they send a swarm of pigeons to every offline AI user's home, burrow into the PC area and steal the data that has been generated that day. They then fly back to a Chinese submarine off-shore and unload the cargo. It's fiendishly clever, and a great way to overcome OpenAI's lead in LLM technology.
True for a year or two, but after that your warm up sets get so heavy that you’ll need at least 10 minutes to get up to your working sets.
Or for that matter, Armed Bear Common Lisp (real CL implemented in the JVM rather than Clojure which is more like Scheme mixed with its own ideas). Still, it's a neat trick, running Java classes on a Lisp that isn't in the JVM itself.
I think we might be confusing "state" here. "this guy" as you say was an FBI agent, a federal not state agent. Elon is gaining access to federal data, not state data.

Maybe I'm confused, but why do we think Elon is committing offenses that a state could charge so that a pardon from Trump would not be possible?
My father? No he’s not. My father’s family however, his parents (my grand parents) were the children of immigrant homesteaders though who walked across the Canadian border. That’s about how close he’s been.

This is a good point! We've gotten some instances of Chesterson's Fence that some devs casually remove during a "test refactor" that later allowed a regression to make it into prod.

I've caught some errors in "test refactoring" from our multiple levels of testing having large overlap with teach other. Our end-to-end tests have a lot of overlap with the integration tests which in turn have a large overlap with unit testing. The unit tests run in a matter of seconds compared to the end-to-end which can take minutes or in some cases hours for our manual testing so the levels of testing also serve as an efficiency for us.
AFAIK, Cursor is a fork of VS Code, so everything you wrote also applies to Cursor. Hence my question.

It’s obviously completely legal actually. The president has the power to do this.

Reducing bureaucracy, rooting out corruption, and shrinking government waste also polls really well.

Democrats should be much more careful about positioning themselves on this long term.

If they are seen as the party of more bureaucracy and corruption (they already are) this will further tarnish their reputation and decrease their odds of winning elections in the future.

The way it’s currently playing out the people complaining the loudest seem like the most guilty benefactors of corruption, they are damaging their reputations and don’t even realize it.
Nothing like finding your own bones and being attacked by your ghost.
In the long run, yes, but if programming were so rote and simple, we all wouldn't have jobs in the first place.

Look, technology has always replaced jobs, throughout history (how many of you know professional lamp lighters, elevator doormen, or switchboard operators?) But the thing is, tech has always replaced the jobs that are easiest to automate ... not the "intellectual work".

I would be far more worried about being a real estate agent, food preparer, or heck, even a lawyer (for some specialties at least). I think they're all at more risk than programmers.

Not really.

Were focused on cutting coupons and not growing food in victory gardens.

We do a performance, a performative version of cost savings that is veiled in corporate marketing tactics and such.

If you were truly focused on minimizing cost you would learn to be self sufficient. Sometimes that's costly, but pays off.

We now frame things in terms of corporate marketing and our whole economic "complex"

Depends on who/when any of these theoretical charges occur. If they were to happen now-ish, then Biden would be thrown under the bus. Which I'm assuming is the opposite response to what you're trying to apply rational reasoning to. I think for at least the remainder of the next four years, applying rational reasoning will be a fool's errand.
I know people at SpaceX, but I don't know anyone at Blue Origin. We're all very curious to know what has changed, as they very clearly have made changes. There was a large shakeup in company management there in late 2023, and the turnaround on timeline was stunning. They are certainly moving very, very fast now.
Nah. A bunch of bank failures are going to cause the opposite of hyperinflation. (I mean, hyperinflation could happen you while you're worried about bank failures...)
Refactoring is a terrible project plan. You never want your weekly status to be "refactored some more". Plan your other development work with enough time to refactor as you go.
There is no such thing as a "Nobody But Us" vulnerability. Leaving holes in systems and praying enemies won't discover them, with the hope of attacking them ourselves is extremely foolish.
But how to get these guarantees from the upstream vendors? Or do you run the LLMs on premises?
That's not giving it away. That's a temporary special coupon offer. Clickbait title of course. Sigh.
I dont think making Copilot better by handling its bad ouput means replacing developers. And GitHub certainly isn’t saying the goal is to replace developers.

I accept that is how you are interpreting it and I can see the argument. But Github isnt trying to get one over in their messaging.

And besides I just dont agree with the idea that it takes the developer out of the loop. Whose controlling this better version of Copilot? Whose goals is it advancing? The developer.
While the "Trump did..." angle probably fires up their base, this really doesn't feel like an EFF issue. The web is swarming with sites providing high-quality content...but which will vanish forever the minute that some old guy moves to a nursing home, or a small-town history museum goes belly-up, or whatever.
If I'm an autobody shop or some other well-served niche, how unhappy with them do I have to be to decide to find a replacement, either a competitor of theirs that used an LLM, or bring it in house and go off and find a developer to LLM-acceleratedly make me a better shopmonkey? And there are the integrations. I don't own a low hanging fruit SaaS company, but it seems very sticky, and since the established company already exists, they can just lower prices to meet their competitors.

B2B is different from B2C, so if one vendor has a handful of clients and they won't switch away, there's no obliterating happening.

What's opened up is even lower hanging fruit, on more trees. A SaaS company charging $3/month for the left-handed underwater basket weaver niche now becomes viable as a lifestyle business. The shovels in this could be supabase/similar, since clients can keep access to their data there even if they change frontends.
Water and lava in Minecraft were originally even simpler flood fills. If you dug into a source at max height (64) of the 256x256 map, it would flood the entire world with an expanding wall of death.
I think what’s crazy that for 30 years we had relatively optimal UIs with some huge improvements every now and then (obviously actionable controls, scalable graphics, exposé, etc.). Increasingly everything has been hidden and requires scrubbing or tapping everywhere, or in the case of iOS, possibly opening another app (Settings) to find some control.
the first thing that guy says that existing non-AI solutions are not that great. then he says that AI beats them in the accuracy. so i don't quite understand the point you're trying to make here
Doing the small incremental tasks is the easiest part of programming. All the complexity lies in taking giant specs and breaking it into manageable goals and then small tasks. AI is still pretty far from doing that, but I agree, I would not want to be a teenager right now and face the prospect of entering the workforce after 10 years more of progress.

Unless work is a thing of the past by then, and we were the last generation of suckers who lived under the reality where 40hrs/week was just the way life is.

Logic yourself there.

Calculate a cost of your time, maybe it's your salary, maybe you come about it a bit differently.

Then if you spend 10 mins saving 8 cents on Ramen, and you like the cheaper Ramen less, you have a paradigm within which you can objectively (not emotionally) determine if you are wasting your time (therefore money) on a false optimization, or actually doing good for yourself.

I may be wrong, but all indications are that this is a sort of "past glory".

I've not personally visited Shenzhen, but every online account (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toizHWGD-rE) shows that they are making everything there -- the "Designed in California, Made in China" is a tenuous situation, and not guaranteed to last.

Like how DeepSeek was a wake-up moment, there are several more waiting to happen.

Again, this is my very much "secondhand" perspective, but I think the GP's assertion is on borrowed time.
In many European countries there is an expectation that employers behave in socially responsible ways. In many cases this is also codified into law.

Employers also benefit from government support (e.g. the government sponsors education that ultimately provides the workforce for the employers).
The side effect is more farting unfortunately.

I had read and heard that many places had started using preliminary tools like Lucaprot that scan viral dark matter retrieved using nano-pore sequencers to identify the sequences and common secondary structures of proteins which all viruses need to replicate, to automate detection of new viruses. Is this not widespread?

I'm aware of Pollack's research, but as you said he's suffered reputational harm which started when he began that research. The stories surrounding Luc Montagnier and Benviste, were pretty poorly handled, and they both were somewhat discredited for merely pointing out undiscovered anomalies that merited further investigation.

Nature sent their hatchet man James Randi, who has been known for discrediting people, sometimes without sound basis especially in cases where the underlying mechanism is not understood.

There is something to be said that When you suddenly can't get any funding because you published something which no one else had found in a methodological scientific way, that could be duplicated; that tends to gives teeth to those calling something conspiracy theory, where it seems more like a conspiracy practice.

Every little quirk we find, can potentially be used in an engineered solution to get to some amazing outcome not previously considered. Quantum dot based technologies are an example of this, from what I've read with regards to their history.
Optical disks produce fun, brief light shows in the microwave. Don't run them for more than a couple of seconds, though.

I found that Into The Breach really scratches that “give me a puzzle I can perfectly solve” itch.

Definitely worth checking out if you’re into puzzle games. If you have a Netflix subscription you can play for free on iOS and iPadOS (unsure about other platforms).
You seem oddly enthusiastic about giving your government the right to violate freedom of speech for entities you do not like, thus removing a platform used both as a platform for speech and for commerce, for 150 million Americans. It totally makes sense to violate the First Amendment over unproven and hypothetical fears of FYP algorithm misuse. Enjoy your slippery slope :)
I don't click articles but if it's anything other than a list of DOGE staff identities it's a total miss.

Off topic, but the post mentions needing terrain manipulation for resource gathering.

I always thought animal crossing had a clever and efficient approach to this without any terrain manipulation. You can chop a tree, and it'll dispense logs, but only so many before it essentially has a cooldown. You get the feedback and the finite resources, without expensive terrain manipulation.

Of course that doesn't work for every game, and really works better on smaller maps, but something worth considering. Terrain manipulation is pretty expensive, if your game doesn't need it it's probably better to do without (again, a generalisation)
>having been included in devices since ~2010.

AAC-LC goes much further back. iPod was introduced in 2001. Practically all devices in 2003 already supports AAC-LC when the format was introduced in 1997.
In production almost every

`foo, err := callSomeFn()`

is followed by

```
if err != nil {
return err
}
```

too; it’s the ones that get missed that are the problem because convention will do nothing to prevent silly mistakes.

Like many things in Go, there are steps the language could take but chooses not to. For example, Swift implements copy-on-write for variable-length arrays. I’m not qualified to comment on whether the Go team is right or wrong in their decisions, but these aren’t unsolved problems.
Great to see Unsloth here, how long did the training process take??

Maybe, maybe not. The number that would actually matter is capacity in joules after 10,000 cycles, not the percentage.
