It sounds similar to the more thoughtful critiques of AI in programming. Treating AI as a lines of code (LOC) generator, where actual human beings end up not engaging with the domain the software is working in, and there is then little to n

Not just the largest city, but also the city where much of our national media is based or has a very large presence. It's so bizarre when I visit friends and family in other parts of the country and they know more about my local news s

Grocery stores aren't evenly distributed throughout the city, though, and there are neighborhoods were either there is no store at all nearby, or the store that exists has poor quality and high prices. In those locations, the dynamic o

Given that each planet seems to have one species, except that humans live everywhere, I always kind of assumed that the Galactic Empire was one with humans at the core.

I first learned about New Sweden several years ago from reading The Barbarous Years[0]. Now I always think about it whenever I drive south toward Maryland and DC when I cross the Delaware and see signs for towns like Swedesboro (NJ) and var

In the US, much of the woods are owned by corporations too. Those that aren't are, in theory, owned by the public, but the oligarchs work hard to hollow that out so that practically public lands are owned by them too.

That may be the future, but we're not there yet. If you're having the LLM write to a high level language, eg java, javascript, python, etc, at some point there will be a bug or other incident that requires a human to read the code

Somewhat against the common sentiment, I find it's very helpful on a large legacy project. At work, our main product is a very old, very large code base. This means it's difficult to build up a good understanding of it -- document

If the goal is to reduce the need for SWE, you don’t need AI for that. I suspect I’m not alone in observing how companies are often very inefficient, so that devs end up spending a lot of time on projects of questionable value—something tha

These posts are in a thread about someone pumping out a large amount of software in a short amount of time using AI. I'm guessing that you and I would agree that programs flung out of an AI shotgun are highly unlikely to be the kind of

Well, there's the variation I heard recently: There are only two problems in computer science. We only have one joke, and it's not very funny.

The way you're defining "eventually consistent" seems to imply it means "the current state of the system is eventually consistent," which is not what I think that means. Rather, it means "for any given previous

I think you have to assume that faster-than-light travel is both possible and economical. At that point, far-flung supply chains across the galaxy really aren't any more surprising than the far-flung supply chains across the globe of o
