The AI numbers only work if it replaces white collar work. Power tools for knowledge workers, which is what we are getting, isn't enough to save it.

Well no because it works by joining together existing novel insights.

You haven't really the addressed the point of the US not being trusted. Even if the EU becomes far right, far right governments don't work or trust each other. What you are saying is moot.

This is suppose to be a tech forum. With enough solar panels, wind turbines and batteries it's completely possible to run an countries grid off renewables. Right now the costs for doing so are around the same as the costs of running an

I didn't mention anything? But I'll answer your question anyway. Be it software, artwork, essays, graphic design or movie clips. There is a market for shipping cheap junk.

Well assuming it's successful, there will be a large number of companies who's value will be reassessed as the token cost to replicate and run the business. Multi-million dollar companies will be reduced into multi thousand dollar

Probably a con job. The AI companies don't think they will be able to significantly improve their models in the next year or so, so they are stalling with government regulations whilst taking in investor money.

Oh no, I live in a flat in a converted commercial building. They have been going wild in the UK converting office space to residential.

The Spanish tankers aren't going through because there aren't any Spanish tankers that operate in that region. Spain has permission from Iran to send through tankers if it indeed had some.

So going forward all countries will be providing citizens of other countries free access to the internet whilst censoring their own citizens?

Static typing and duck typing both date back to the 1950s. You may have heard of Lisp. The last new significant thing invented in programming was OOP in the 1990s. Everything else is just ancient, OOP was about bringing the benefits of micr

The issue is that duck typing with a minimal set of types was the great idea of ABC, which is the language Guido cloned to make Python

Well given that the US DHS is posting on social media that it intends to get rid of all 100 million non-white Americans. What exactly did you expect?

If you are a good software developer in India then you move abroad. It's not that India doesn't make great software developers, it's just they don't tend to stick around.

Well I don't think anyone would pay for the COBOL to Java conversion software. Since it's no longer New Years Eve, I'm a bit more sober :p Programming language to programming language conversions seems to be one of the things

Well it's in Windows, Linux and Mac OS kernels. So you moving into Retro computing?

by ReflectedImage 9mo ago
Yep, not a single line left. Retired quicker than COBOL. Won't even be any maintenance jobs for legacy systems left.

Have you heard of Microsoft's C++ elimination plan? They are building an LLM based transpiler that automatically turns all C++ code into Rust. In a couple of years, there won't be a single line of C++ left... Isn't that wonde

The military isn't going to allow C++ anymore due to it being a massive security hazard. You can't get away with buffer overflows, use after frees, data races, etc. forever. Due to an evil entity called the military industrial com

If JITs hadn't been invented you would be completely right but JITs have been invented. There are deeper optimizations that JITs can do such as knowing at runtime that the value of a variable is always 2 that typing information simply

The problem is there are a lot of developers who have only coded with static typing and have no idea about the terrible drawbacks of static typing. They don't understand what static typing does to code verbosity and development times.
29.
by ReflectedImage 9mo ago
Absolutely not. Duck type based development results in working code out of the door 3x faster than static type based development. It always has since ancient times. If performance wasn't an issue, then the static type based developers

Yep, the software development slows down to crawl. Yes, you can still code at the same speed as you were coding in a language like Java or C# but that is considerably slower then what's possible in languages like Ruby and Python. To gi
