I do plan on experimenting with the latest versions of coding assistants, but last I tried them (6 months ago), none could satisfy all of the requirements at the same time.

Perhaps there is simply too much crappy Python code around that they were trained on as Python is frequently used for "scripting".

Perhaps the field has moved on and I need to try again.

But looking at this, it would still be faster for me to type this out myself than go through multiple rounds of reviews and prompts.

Really, a senior has not reviewed this, no matter their language (raciness throughout, not just this file).

>hyper realistic photo

Never use the words "hyper realistic" when you want a photo. It makes no sense and misleads the generator. No one would describe a simple photograph as "hyper realistic," not a single real photo in the dataset will be tagged as "(hyper) realistic."

Hyperrealism is an art style and only ever used in the context of explicitely non-photographic artworks.
Ah yes, all we have to do is drive US wages so low that Indonesian wages can employ Americans just as readily as our wages employ Indonesians.
> That is generalization, even if it's domain specific

But that is the point, it is a domain specific AI, not a general AI. You can't train a general AI that way.

> For self updating I said it's an engineering choice. You keep moving the goal posts.

No, it is not an engineering choice, it is an unsolved problem to make a general AI that self updates productively. Doing that for a specific well defined problem with well defined goals is easy, but not general problem solving.
> I doubt their dream is working on the assembly line

Not all manufacturing is on an assembly line either, of course. That is especially true of the manufacturing Americans still see taking place in America.

That very well may be what new jobs will look like, should they be created, but emotions are not logical.
It's the enshittification of the US economy, in a way:

The method of enshittification, as I understand it, is to create businesses with a moat that prevents competition, cheapen the product in every way possible, and squeeze as much rent out as possible. Also, extract as much as possible via debt.

The tariffs are the moat. The debt I don't need to explain (though Dems aren't great with it either).

It's all the opposite of competitive business and free markets.
sure, but if you're generating the code in a very small amount of time from the specs then suddenly its no longer the code that is the source, its the specs.

That's what waterfall always wanted to be and it failed because writing the code usually took a lot longer than writing the specs, but now perhaps, that is no longer the case.

This looks very cool! I see a lot of Python in the docs; is it usable in other languages?
If you're using Windows on it I highly recommend looking into the last version of Windows 10 LTSC - it's basically a completely stripped down version without all the crap (no spyware, windows store, candy crush, etc). Anything you really need to add back is easy (like if you do need a windows store app for example)

With an SSD it boots insanely fast and consumes very little resources at idle. And will get security updates for many years to come. It's really the perfect OS for the T420 (or Linux of course - although I'd actually prefer Windows for a classic Thinkpad).

Bit hard to buy legally (you need to go through a VAR - there are some who will definitely sell you single copies). Core Windows 10 without all the bloat is actually a really impressive and lightweight OS considering the massive backwards compatibility and huge backlog of free software. Not to mention the insane breadth of hardware it will run on.
I expect you will apply this to the other browsers who are 100x worse than Apple at adding proprietary features.

And if you read the article Apple reached out to the other browser vendors to push it as a standard.
> If a single market participant finds utility from the use of that commodity, distinct from hoarding, then acquiring access to more is beneficial. Your hoarding helped.

Talking about marginal quantity for tiny fractions of a commodity get abstract so let’s scale it up and the assign a fraction of the difference to that 1kg.

Total quantity of gold in earths crust is constant, so let’s assume what changes is the timing of when a mine gets opened. IE a bit of land is either mined in 1975 vs 2025.

Everything else being equal it’s more efficient to mine today vs 50 years ago both from an effort perspective and environmental impact. EV mining equipment for example is a lot more common today than 50 years ago, they are also a lot safer. Thus removing 1kg of gold from the market for 50 years is also a dead loss.
Recent events alone do not fully represent the affairs of the past 2+ decades. Community, state, ivy, all levels were gorging themselves on federal funding and endowments. I have no comment on the current admin, but blatantly inefficient use of funds is an understatement.
> Doesn't the US already have the most progressive tax system in the world?

It's arguable, but it's safe to say that it's one of the most progressive among development countries, but that's in large part a function of the comparative inequality and low tax rates to start.

> If you want more public services the tax rate would need to increase at all levels but dramatically so at the middle to low end.

Yeah, but the net effect can be an improvement in terms of inequality. See e.g. https://www.cbpp.org/research/what-do-oecd-data-really-show-...

"As a result, the latest OECD data show that while the United States has the tenth-highest level of income inequality of the 31 OECD countries examined before considering taxes and transfers, it has the fourth-highest level of inequality after considering them."

"As the OECD report notes, if two countries have identical tax schedules that include graduated marginal rates, the tax system will have a more progressive impact in the country with higher pre-tax inequality, because a larger share of that country’s income will be taxed at the top rates."

"Because of their comparatively small size and below-average progressivity, U.S. cash transfers do less to reduce inequality in household cash incomes than those in any other OECD country except Korea"

Any idea if you can get a quad core into the T420 itself ? I have a dual core i5 that is still doing decently (probably because they still sold i5 CPUs with hyper threading back then) but a quad core 35w CPU with HT would be a great pair with the dedicated Nvidia graphics.
Many of the workers in the 1950s were combat veterans who had lived through some shit and weren't as easy to push around. Contrast that to today when a lot of people tend to panic over minor hazards like a respiratory virus with a >99% survival rate. That cowardice puzzled me until I realized that a lot of younger people have led such sheltered lives that they have never experienced any real hardship or serious physical danger so they lack the mental resilience to cope with it. They just want to be coddled and aren't willing to fight for anything.
Much has been made in its article about autonomous agents ability to do research via browsing the web - the web is 90% garbage by weight (including articles on certain specialist topics).

And it shows. When I used GPT's deep research to research the topic, it generated a shallow and largely incorrect summary of the issue, owning mostly to its inability to find quality material, instead it ended up going for places like Wikipedia, and random infomercial listicles found on Google.

I have a trusty Electronics textbook written in the 80s, I'm sure generating a similarly accurate, correct and deep analysis on circuit design using only Google to help would be 1000x harder than sitting down and working through that book and understanding it.

> They’re very good at honing bad code into good code with good feedback.

And they're very bad at keeping other code good across iterations. So you might find that while they might've fixed the specific thing you asked for—in the best case scenario, assuming no hallucinations and such—they inadvertently broke something else. So this quickly becomes a game of whack-a-mole, at which point it's safer, quicker, and easier to fix it yourself. IME the chance of this happening is directly proportional to the length of the context.

>AI is supposed to be able to [...] make extremely labor intensive things much easier

... as showcased by the cited examples?

More so, this derivative work would otherwise be unreachable for regular folk with no artistic talent (maybe for lack of time to develop it), but who may aspire to do such creative work nevertheless. Why is that a bad thing? Sure, simple posts on social media don't have much work or creativity put into them, but are enjoyable nevertheless, and the technology _can_ be used in creative ways - e.g. Stable Diffusion has been used to turn original stories drawn with stick figures into stylized children's books.

The author argues against this usage for "stealing" the original work, but how does posting a stylized story on social media "steal" anything? The author doesn't present any "pirated" copies of movies being sold in place of the originals, nor negative impact on sales figures. In the case of the trending Studio Ghibli, I wouldn't be surprise to see a positive impact!

As for the "soulless 2025 fax version of the thing", I think it takes a very negative mindset to see it this way. What I've seen shared on social media has been nothing but fun examples, people playing around with what for them is a new use of technology, using it on pictures of fond memories, etc.

I'm inclined to agree with the argument made by Boldrin and Levine:

>”Intellectual property” has come to mean not only the right to own and sell ideas, but also the right to regulate their use. This creates a socially inefficient monopoly, and what is commonly called intellectual property might be better called “intellectual monopoly.”

>When you buy a potato you can eat it, throw it away, plant it or make it into a sculpture. Current law allows producers of a CDs and books to take this freedom away from you. When you buy a potato you can use the “idea” of a potato embodied in it to make better potatoes or to invent french fries. Current law allows producers of computer software or medical drugs to take this freedom away from you. It is against this distorted extension of intellectual property rights that we argue.

Note the market resolves by:

> Resolution will be via a poll of Manifold moderators. If they're split on the issue, with anywhere from 30% to 70% YES votes, it'll resolve to the proportion of YES votes.

So you should really read it as “Will >30% of Manifold moderators in 2027 think the ‘predictions seem to have been roughly correct up until that point’?”

Not sure about the T520 but my T420 has an old dedicated Nvidia graphics (quadro NVS 4200m). Still seems to handle anything browser related great and I suspect this is the reason (integrated GPU in the dual core i5 probably sucks). They're rarer and harder to find though
> Let me ask you a hypothetical instead: if those 'ways' are gone, is it automatically a given that new ones will emerge?

It's important to remember those were not the only ways, they just happened to have be the most effective, and became notorious because of it. Tax havens still exist, and we are still far from taxing corporate in the same stringent ways we tax individuals. The fact that governments only chipped at the edges with no systemic changes is telling.

> I don't want to write too much of an obvious comment, but.. how is it different from existing pre-Trump green cards sold to interested parties

If that's really true, why is there such a big push to rapidly improve AI? I'm guessing OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Apple, Meta, Boston Dynamics don't really believe this. They believe AI will make them billions. What is OpenAI's definition of AGI? A model that makes $100 billion?
That prompt looks horrifying.

I am not going to spend half an hour coming up with that prompt, tweaking it, and then spend many hours (on the optimistic side) to track down all the hallucinated code and hidden bugs. Have been there once, never going to do that again.

I'd rather do it myself to have a piece of mind.
That doesn't make the policy stupid, it means you disagree with the opinion that led to the policy.
The last year and a half in particular has exposed just what a sham the academic freedom fo colleges really is.

We've always heard that the college tenure system encourages freedom of expression and academic freedom without the pressure of potential job loss. Instead what we have iscollege professors and administrations who move is absolute lockstep and have acted like jack-booted Gestapos to crush and punish First Amendment expression where some people merely said "maybe we shouldn't bomb children".

Norm Finkelstein, who is a national treasure, does not have tenure. He is a world-authority on these issues. Why doesn't he have tenure? Because he embarrassed Alan Dershowtiz by exposing him as a rampant plagiarist and general fraud.

Int he 1960s we had the National Guard open fire on anti-Vietnam protestors at Kent State, killing several, to repress anti-government speech. I swear we're not far from college administrators open firing on protestors directly.

The collaboration between colleges (particularly Columbia) and the administration pales in comparison to the anti-Vietnam era. Colleges are standing by letting agitators attack protestors (ie UCLA) and then later using that violence as an excuse to crush the protest. They're cooperating with law enforcement to crush protests.

But they're going beyond that. These protestors who have been illegally deported have largely been named and targeted by college administrations as well as organizations like the Canary Mission.

Think about that: colleges are knowingly cooperating with people who are black-bagging people protesting against genocide, fully knowing they will end up in places like prisons in El Salvadore.
Throw Windows 10 LTSC on those things if it can handle it ! Way lower RAM and idle consumption
Eh, these mathematics still don't work out in humans favor...

Lets say intelligence caps out at the maximum smartest person that's ever lived. Well, the first thing we'd attempt to do is build machines up to that limit that 99.99999 percent of us would never get close to. Moreso the thinking parts of humans is only around 2 pounds of mush in side of our heads. On top of that you don't have to grow them for 18 years first before they start outputting something useful. That and they won't need sleep. Oh and you can feed them with solar panels. And they won't be getting distracted by that super sleek server rack across the aisle.

We do know 'hive' or societal intelligence does scale over time especially with integration with tooling. The amount of knowledge we have and the means of which we can apply it simply dwarf previous generations.

I recently discovered the way Tanstack does this. Basically, if the heading of the section is in the viewport, then the list item is highlighted.

So you could have multiple items highlighted, but it still "works" somewhat intuitively for the end user.

The drawback is that it requires JS via intersection observer. But maybe the CSS standards committee could see value in this kind of thing eventually.

Yeah that's fair, I'm trying to create an analogy to other services which are similar to help me understand.

When I first started in dev, on a Unix OS, we did 'waterfall' (though we just called it releasing software, thirty years ago). We did a a major release every year, minor releases every three months, and patches as and when. All this software was sent to customers on mag tapes, by courier. Minor releases were generally new features.

Definitely times were different back then. But we did release software often, and it tended to be better quality than now (because we couldn't just fix-forward). I've been in plenty of Agile companies whose software moves slower than the old days. Too much haste, not enough speed.

Specs were never frozen with waterfall.
For some of us it brings back bad memories of sitting watching progress bars for hours and occasionally getting asked to feed another disk into the drive. Office was probably the worst for the number of floppies, but linux was even more, and you had the extra worry of if it would actually boot after the install, or if you got a setting wrong and had to start again.

Soon after all that we got to use CD's, which made life a lot better.

Couple of things I would suggest:

Maybe get rid of 1-2 character words in the word counter? Seems easy for it to hit things like i or ie etc. I would love to see a counter that ignores those at least

Also the report card section on the Shakespeare progress panel wasn’t scrollable on iOS.

The point is that there are products for which there is not enough of domestic market for domestic small manufacturers. There is enough market worldwide for those manufacturers.

> Globalisation, only works for the biggest players and sharpers

That's just not true. Many small businesses sell their products worldwide via online marketplaces. Have you downloaded software from another country? Bought something on Alibaba?

> once it picks up speed, will be a good thing for comunitys worldwide

How about the people in those communities paying higher prices for worse goods - the extra money going into the pockets of large domestic corporations.
So that make short of sense, except according to this

"Selling goods to customers outside the EU

If you sell goods to customers outside the EU, you do not charge VAT. However, you may still deduct the VAT that you paid on related expenses, such as for goods or services purchased specifically to make those sales."

So the inputs are not more expensive to American importer. Yes the European company is compensated for the VAT they paid on an input, but this is a tax to begin with. Which the US companies not pay. So this is not unfair to the US company..

Or is there something I'm not getting?
