Comment At what point... (Score 1) 66

At what point, and at which place, should we put the onus on the programming language, and not the programmer(s)?

IDK, it just feels like "A lot of bug happen while using X programming language" doesn't tell us a lot in terms of the programmers and their training, their practices, the knowledge being shared to avoid bugs, etc, and I wonder how much of the problems are mitigated by knowledge, training, and know-how.

I guess I really like having the control over my code that the likes of C, C++, and assembly have as well, but that really is just a piece of it. Another part of it is a question of how much we risk, in the name of "memory safety," handicapping our coders.

I am convinced that people mod with their emotions rather than with their brains as they ought to when it comes to AI discussions - what is flamebait about responding to a grossly and overly broad statement about something like "the AI industry," and pointing out that the stuff that is causing controversy isn't the "AI industry" on the whole?

People need to be concise, it is a lack of conciseness that is making it hard for people on all ends of the debate to at least understand what the other is talking about w/o shouting over each other.

the AI industry

Just to be a pedantic sod, "AI" isn't just LLMs and things that make images, audio, and the like, it's quite the spectrum actually - including things like medical research.

IMO treating a dynamic and complex industry as a monolith, whatever industry it is, just felt off to me, heh.

The problem I have is that people don't realize that unlike snowflakes, people are not so unique that doppelgangers and identical twins aren't things (they are), that people can't look similar (and that this would open up litigation possibilities over people who look arbitrarily similar, in a similar vein to some of the IMO utterly moronic lawsuits over music similarities that have happened regarding melodies and the like. .

In before some retards 2ho don't know ho2bthe words "socialist" or "communist" flap their gums about this idea being one of those things, despite thoseb3ing economic systems, the length of a work day being something that operates under an economic system and isn't one itself, and thus are not IMO directly comparable.

Not sure the obsession with memory. So long as it is consistent, how much do people care if an instance uses 8GB vs 16?

IMO use cases - and what else one is doing at the same time and their resource requirements are factors as well. Basically, "tl;dr:" it depends I guess is what I mean.
