Why wouldn't they? They see this technology as a military asset now.

Guardrails against what? Rehashing public wikipedia information? Execution matters, and they did a trurly horrible job that crippled their product to the point of being useless and a joke. Huge mistakes were made and im sure they regret it

Building resilient, robust, self-healing, best-effort systems. Important in computer architectures, new chip designs, medicine, material sciences... I can see this being useful in different domains.

I used dspy in production, then reverted the bloat as it literally gave me nothing of added value in practice but a lot of friction when i needed precise control over the context. Avoid!

They are hiring "architects", or do we call them analysts. The impression is we're going back to analysts drawing those pld school UML-like diagrams etc. Also, a lot of the devs are on the brink of just quitting, because it&#

I don't think it's implemented that harsh or enforced so hostile, but they have these rict procedures now on how the code is to be developed. That procedure they follow is all centered around automated code generation. So they sim

I also thought it was pushing it to the limit, but I think this is just some Founder of a successful company deciding engineering was going to transform to this way of working. A huge bet, but the implementation didn't feel amateuristi

Like I said, devs don't like it. He said productivity went up 3-4x. "It works". There was no question of denying that as far as he was concerned. At the same time he was going to look for another job as it was just painful to

I see whole teams pushed by c- level going full in with spec driven + tdd development. The devs hate it because they are literally forbidden to touch a single line if code. but the results speak for themselves, it just works and the pressur

It says a lot about US academic culture that they think in terms of hiring. There is an important educational commitment requirememt to the role of professor, at least in Europe. Hiring is to the betterment of your own goals and almost orth

I suspect the number of startups will skyrocket the nexr few years. Fired engineers will start to compete against the establishment that fired them. Competition may get a lot more fierce for a while.

"only for private pharma/bio/tech firms to add a thin layer of additional research (or design) on top" Citation needed. Go to market cost billions and takes a decade. Doesn't sound like a thin layer. I'm not di

Science Fiction writer promoted to professor in philosophy makes him a crackpot in my book. Let's be honest.

I hate typing strings of syntax. So boring. Never saw the appeal. I do like tinkering with ideas, concepts, structure... just not the mechanical interaction part. Im not tbe best typist...then again, its the same with playing factorio. I lo

There are other ways to protect code assets than through Copyright.

Because typing in text and syntax is now becoming irrelevant and mostly taken care of by language models. Computational thinking and sematics on the other hand will remain essential in the craft and always have been.

LLMs translate specs into code, if you master conputational thinking like Antirez, you basically reduce LLMs to intelligent translators of the stated computational ideas and specifications into a(ny) formal language + the typing. In that sc

Aah, but construction in GoL is not limited to gliders...still.

by CraftingLinks 8mo ago
Since GoL is Turing Complete,is such an inconstructable pattern an example of godels incompleteness theorem? I feel like I must be confusing some things here.

by CraftingLinks 8mo ago
Not wrong. But i don't share your concerns at all. I like sharing code and if people, and who knows, machines, can make use of it and provide some value however minute, that makes me content.

Keep believing. To the bitter end. For such human slop codebases AI slop additions will do equally fine. Add good testing and the code might even improve over the garbage that came before.

Yes it does. When you live in Europe and listened to your late grand parents talk about the war. In Europe, "fascist" actually has still some weight to it and it doesnt get thrown around so casually as the US, yet. Same strory wit

I looked into that project issue your referencing. There is absolutely zero mentioning of zig labeled blocks in that exchange. There is no misunderstanding or confusion whatsoever.

The gratuit accusations in this thread should be flagged.
