I think one of the traits of people who feel a sense of loss about AI is that many of them value the bond that comes from discussion within their field. You could call it a sense of comradeship, or a shared sense of purpose.

Using Astra, I get the feeling that LLMs have hit a ceiling. To be exact, it's not necessarily a hard limit, but a point of diminishing returns where squeezing out tiny performance gains yields barely noticeable improvements in practic

I also code as a hobby. It seems like a pretty good thing to have as a hobby.

>You must be a C#, Swift, Asyncio, or Tokio developer — hard to narrow down, you all agree on this one. I think that's definitely right. Knowing the semantics of the language you mainly use is important.

The Spark feature's UI isn't as good as the others. For example, I'm not sure if it should prominently show recent workload, and unless I use MCP to manipulate files on my computer, local file manipulation isn't possible

I asked Astra for fully working code, and it gave me bad code. But when I broke it down into function units, some parts were bad and some parts were good. So I can't tell the difference

To be honest, I have no idea what kind of user the Gemini app was built for. It's just too frustrating to use

I see things differently. This is a change unlike anything in the past. Back then, it didn't replace human intellectual activity. However, problems of increasing scale will continue to arise, and inevitably, issues will emerge that are

Because, think about it. Let's assume techno-feudalism is complete. Every piece of infrastructure is going to have usage fees attached anyway. Everyone is using AI, so are you going to be the only one not using it? Of course you'l

Is it because UBI is cheaper than a massacre? Since it will all end up being absorbed by the capitalists anyway.

The tenants might change in the future. Right now they are individuals, but perhaps properties will be leased to build power grids or autonomous logistics warehouses. Also, if techno-feudalism accelerates and public purchasing power collaps

>Automation can, therefore, reduce the value of work before it eliminates jobs. As automation takes over, the value of labor collapses, and workers' market bargaining power under capitalism is the first to crumble. Ultimately, this

It seems you and I now have something in common inside our bodies: PFOS. I've finally found a point of connection between us. Out of curiosity as to why 3M would insert this commonality into me to help us share a sense of solidarity, I

Older developers in the Node ecosystem still sometimes write callback hells, but it's true that it's less prevalent than in the .NET world. The problem is that I am the one who has to maintain that code. The reality is that code u

I've had a very similar experience. Ironically, simple frameworks like WinForms, or tools that promise easy and rapid development, often turn into the absolute worst-case scenarios for maintenance. This tendency is especially strong in

The worst I have experienced: A 30,000-line .cs file. A giant monolithic program tangled together by Singleton abuse, 6-deep nested if/else blocks, and the list goes on. There are too many to count. And this is a sight I see every sing

I think it's a matter of reach. Most ordinary people's good deeds have a small audience—the 'N' in a 1:N spread is limited. But the bigger the fame, the larger the audience becomes. From that perspective, when Keanu Reev

Written laws are like spiders' webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and poor, but would be torn in pieces by the rich and powerful.

Looking at this, maybe in the future, the tools that AI prefers will become the mainstream. Even now, the tools that AI gives the highest priority to are the ones people already choose. There might be a concentration effect toward the tools

These days, it feels like we can't truly own anything anymore. Sure, physical media used to break often, but these days I just don't get that satisfying feeling of actually owning something.

As always, I was working on modifying a CRUD program. It's been a while since I read through the documentation carefully and worked on it, so it feels refreshing.

If self-reference and strange loops aren't intelligence, and emergence is merely a byproduct of universality, then what on earth is intelligence? What is this thing we question as intelligence, and what are the values that take shape f

I want to live like an NPC too, but preferably one that can't be attacked. I'd absolutely hate being an NPC in the Dark Souls series.

The biggest problem with Gemini is that its performance degrades the longer you use it for coding. Is it just me?
