Yeah, feeding that speed into a reasoning loop or a coding harness is going to revolutionize AI.

When humans fail a task, it’s obvious there is no actual intelligence nor understanding.

Intelligence is not as cool as you think it is.

I assure you, intelligence is very cool.

Make them shaped like floppy disks to confuse the younger generations.

What percentage of businesses actually accept monero?

Man you guys are impatient. It takes decades even for earth shattering technologies to mature and take root.

If people want to make the "this will be AGI after two decades and will totally revolutionize the entire world" that's fine. If people want to make the "wow this is an incredibly useful tool for many jobs that will make work more efficient" that's fine. We can have those discussions.

What I don't buy is the "in two years there will be no more concept of money or poverty because AI has solved everything" argument using the evidence that these tools are really good at coding.

Damn right I'm impatient. My eye starts twitching when a web page takes more than 2 seconds to load :-)

In the meantime, I've had to continuously hear talk about AI, both in real life (like at the local pub) AND virtually (tv/radio/news/whatever) and how it's going to change the world in unimaginable ways for the last...2/3 years. Billions upon billions of dollars are being spent. The only tangible thing we have to show is software development, and some other fairly niche jobs, have changed _a bit_.

So yeah, excuse my impatience for the bubble to burst, I can stop having to hear about this shit every day, and I can go about my job using the new tools we have been gifted, while still doing all the other jobs that sadly do not benefit in any similar way.

There is zero evidence that LLMs have changed software development efficiency.

We get an earth-shattering developer productivity gamechanger every five years. All of them make wild claims, none of them ever have any data to back those claims up.

LLMs are just another in a long, long list. This too will pass. (Give it five years for the next gamechanger.)

There will always, ALWAYS be the analog hole in security models like this.

It's pretty hard for the government or service provider to snoop through the analog hole unless they have a camera on your forehead...

GIMP fought against single window mode for ages despite the majority of people wanting it.

It’s really hard, because they’re trying to use a hammer as a hacksaw. It was simply made with ridiculous technology choices.

I think you described 99% of commercial software :)

TUI development is a lost art these days, apparently.

TUIs are experiencing something of a renaissance, I think. My hypothesis is that the popularity attracts newcomers who inevitably bring their own preconceptions from other domains. Many are unaware of the state of the art and reinvent the wheel. I don’t think this categorically a bad thing, but it can be a mixed bag of slop and genuinely useful cross-pollination.

Someone should have told God that when he gave Moses the 10 commandments. They sure have a lot of “Thou shalt not” in there.
