I don't think I understand.. can you please dumb it down even more?
I'd figured that UNIX time just counts actual seconds and that leap seconds and similar calendar shenanigans would be a problem of mapping epoch to the correct date, so that if normally epoch X maps to date D then both epoch X and X+1 map to date D.
Am i to understand that leap seconds "stretch" a epoch unit ? so that some epoch second "lasted longer".
Not op, but imagine doing cpr to someone for more than an hour (btw this means multiple people taking turns because cpr is exhausting) and at some point there is a sign of feeble heart contractile activity (and hence life)
It must have been a very emotional moment for the rescuers and parents if present.
Realism and arcade are not exclusive but I also would say that the headline saying “real wind physics” is misleading. I was disappointed to see that real they are not.
sails perpendicular to the wind for full power? my sailing experience is dated, but that does not seem to be right to me. Don't they want a lower angle of attack? is this a specific of square sails? maybe I am not getting it in the docs
Doesn’t the article make the argument that since you can write tests this is not as much of a problem for code gen ?
Its arguable whether it is a foolproof solution (I don’t think so) but it definitely makes it look like you can build a harness around the stochastic machine that will validate the correctness of the generated randomness.
Monkeys and typewriters when you can quickly validate whether it’s Shakespeare or not is a costly but theoretically feasible scenario. No?
Software engineering, Computer Science and Coding are not the same, even though there is overlap.
AI might (I have doubts) be quite capable at coding, but it is still quite poor at software engineering.
Even assuming that it does become good at software engineering, it is still worth knowing it yourself to check the tools, know what they are doing, etc. Think of a civil engineer. They are not calculating static forces on pillars manually anymore for a while, they use computer programs for that, but they still need to understand the math behind it. I believe there will always be, at the very very least, a similar relationship between software engineering and coding agents.
Problem solving techniques are going to be applied at different levels, but they are still going to be valuable and - in my opinion - even necessary.

Generalist backend dev prepared to do frontend - cautiously AI assisted frontend especially - whenever needed and familiar with ops/infra. Happy to explore new stacks especially on the functional spectrum.

Silly question but if I remember correctly salmon go back to reproduce where they spawned. This suggests that once access is cut up a river, that location loses its salmon (can’t get there, so they don’t reproduce?)
Do they artificially reintroduce the salmon once access is restored or does that “neighbourhood” of salmon somehow survives and keeps trying every year ?
The personification in this article is cringeworthy and it makes me doubt that the person (?) that wrote it understand what an agent is and how it works.
