Yeah, needs a ton of oversight, etc, I have to read it carefully...

So I wanted to do a thing, and I could easily have made a working prototype of this thing in a couple of days, maybe a week tops. So I had claude do it and spent nearly an entire afternoon fixing things or making claude fix them because I understood the problem better.

But at the end of the day, I'd spent an afternoon doing something I would have expected to take a week.

Great use case.

Even if we had full-on human level AGI (which we don't), you'd still need to iterate and correct.

You wouldn't expect to give a non-trivial programming task to another human without having to iterate on understanding of requirements and corner cases, making changes after code review, bugs needing to be caught by unit/system tests, etc.

If you hired a graphic artist to create you a graphic to illustrate an article, or book, or some advertising campaign, then you also wouldn't expect to get it right first time. You're going to iterate and work with the artist until you get something close to what you were hoping for (or maybe different, but better).

How much iteration and feedback you need with today's "AI" depends on what kind of AI you are talking about (just LLMs, or also things like image generators), what you are using it for, and how skilled you are in using it.

If you are using an LLM to learn about something then you will have a conversation with it and probably not regard this as "iteration" anymore than you would with a human, even though it really is.

If you are using an LLM to write code or find bugs, then a large part of it is going to be how much context specific to your project have you provided. If you are just relying on what is baked into the LLM (which is not entire software projects - it's the content of the internet put through a blender and chopped/mixed into training fragments), then all bets are off.

I think I'll just fill in the log "no intelligent life here", and move along.

What kind of moron starts yelling at something that they believe is a computer/AI ?!

Do they also scream at the alarm clock when it wakes them up?

"requiring", not "not requiring".

It's 2025 - where is my edit button?

> A recent Pew study found that Americans think software engineers will be most affected by generative AI

I'm not sure that will turn out to be true. Perhaps more reflection on how little the average non-developer knows about what the job entails.

All jobs that can be done sitting in front of a computer are likely to be among the first affected by, or replaced by AI, but the ones to fall first will most likely NOT be those not requiring deep and exact reasoning. Jobs where today's generative AI is already good enough in many cases (commercial art, non-creative writing, etc) will be the ones to go once adoption catches up to what the tech is capable of.

Generative AI in general is surprisingly good at generating pictures, videos, etc, that were traditionally thought of as creative, and perhaps surprisingly bad at jobs where the key ingredient is instead intelligence and analysis - high level human intelligence. The reason for this is that current "AI" (whether diffusion models or transformers) is designed for copying human output, not for coping with novel situations where it needs to be able to learn and adapt. That ability to learn on the job, rather than be "pre-trained", is entirely missing from today's AI.

We use NASM for all of our x86_64 platforms, and clang for arm64. We even cross-compile Windows on Arm using clang-cl on Linux. Some team members would like to use clang for everything and eliminate VS Studio, gcc and perhaps even Apple clang, but that would also mean updating a bunch of old assembly.

Whatâ(TM)s the appeal of MASM? Why would somebody want that to be cross-platform given the existing alternatives?

A hybrid is the answer for many people. They work well. Electric continues to improve but is still too much of a niche product.

I recently bought a new car. If I could lay my hands on something like a RAV4 Hybrid I'd be all over it. Good luck. I bought a VW Taos instead.

BYD have been working on solid state batteries for years, which are apparently much safer, and also have about double the energy density (1200 mi range), as well as fast charging - add 900 mi of range in 12 min.

They are now ready to put them into cars, and start ramping up the volume over next few years.

Not sure I'd want a nuclear reactor in my car, even if there was one small enough and cheap enough.

You seem to be confusing the source of electricity with the need to store it, or perhaps you are proposing that EV's are connected to the grid like trams and electric trains ?

Also illegal in the UK. While they can relocate offices, they'd have to go through an employee consultation process and they certainly would be making redundancy payments. It's also typical to have 1-3 month notice periods in employment contracts. The way TFA is phrased sounds like constructive dismissal.

I don't trust a word that Netanyahu says. He's very likely complicit in war crimes.

Anti-Semitism has been weaponized to destroy people like Jeremy Corbyn

Bullshit. That's a conspiracy theory by anti-semites. The EHRC found the Labour Party to be anti-semitic. Corbyn did nothing but let it fester, even as his Jewish MPs left the party either because he was too weak, or more likely, because he's also anti-semitic himself.

You're cut from the same cloth, as you've repeatedly demonstrated in your words on this site. I won't be distracted by your whataboutisms, which is the only thing you have to defend yourself from the truth.

We know where you stand in terms of anti-semitism. Remember this thread where you ducked and dived and tried to avoid admitting that you supported bigoted politicians like Jeremy Corbyn: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fcomm...

Why won't you people apportion any blame to the Gaza situation on Iran and terrorist organisations like Hamas? Admit it: you're just an anti-Jew, anti-Israel bigot.
