Tesla sunset two of their models, three still for sale and being built. Definitely not giving up on AI or FSD, they are doubling down on cybercab, and elons pay package is tied to FSD subscriptions. If anything, the messaging is they are ramping up AI investment. Humans crash and burn regularly too. Brilliant engineers have definitely not given up, I'm not sure why anyone would think that. AI has continued to improve pretty steadily in all areas (see benchmarks)
Idk how you'd compare the impact of 99 factors relative to each other to make the rating. So life expectancy is probably the better all encompassing metric, but as you'd expect, wealth is very high impact in that. So #1 is Hawaii and #50 is Mississippi - 10 year avg difference
Seems like a natural next step is some kinda reputation system for a project's contributors. If you've written 50 successfully merged PRs, you're certainly less likely to make trash in any method. Create a mentorship heirarchy. It sounds very helpful no matter what. Then the people who have merged 0 PRs to the project will likely work harder too, since they know they will be at the most scrutiny
It's just unsettled law, and the link is basically an opinion piece. But guess who wins major legal battles like this - yep, the big corps. There's only one way this is going to go for AI generated code
I evaluated matrix a few years ago to try to add chat to my video game. I also evaluated everything else. Sendbird (proprietary, what reddit uses) is crazy expensive. Matrix is complicated and didn't have a good simple web frontend. XMPP is still pretty good. In the end, I ended up going with IRC v3 which fixes many of the legacy problems of IRC, and that was the best option. I am still scratching my head as to how that's the state of the art for sending little bits of text back and forth. Don't get me started on WebRTC, I spent a whole year trying to make a stable video chat app for another project
Love that the entire justification is that Linus doesn't know how to count higher than 20. Lucky for us that he'll probably retire before we get to version 20.20 because otherwise he'd probably have to just shut the whole project down
Yeah I agree & don't have a solution. I've also lived under fully socialized healthcare, and that's quite problematic as well for various reasons including wait times & quality of care / options
Arguably the prices of healthcare are what they are because of the legal institution of insurance and the system of middlemen involved, so it's not really an example of free markets, but I'll show myself and my logic outta here ok peace
I think this is true to some degree, but not exclusively true; new grads still get jobs. However, I think it'll take some time for universities to catch up with the changes they need to make to refocus on architecture, systems design & skilled use of LLMs
My opinion is that the demand for software is still dramatically higher than what can be achieved by hiring every single senior dev + LLM. I.e. there will need to be more people doing it in the future regardless of efficiency gains
Argument doesn't check out. You can still manage people, and they can use whatever tools make them productive. Good understanding of the code & ability to pass PR reviews isn't going anywhere, nor is programmer skill
Hard to say. I mean, the easy answer is only 10x a soldier in America. But they also get free housing, food, varied benefits & bonuses -- and retired generals often make millions via their influence and power. But yeah they have salary caps and somehow the whole system still works pretty well
