Wow. Now did you try to check the setup with something like Claude Fable? Will it find issues, what kind of issues? Another question: how many tokens did this effort cost? Did you learn new prompting tricks?

i happened to liked Google AI mode, even wrote a composition about that [1] Now it is going to be enshittified, which is probably inevitable.

CNN is quoting data from the Gaza health ministry, an organization run by genocidal Islamist Hamas, without mentioning its affiliation and without questioning the data. So much for objectivity on CNN and "Hacker News". There is also no mention on the food convoys that get plundered by Hamas. Just to mention: Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization in the US, since 1997 - just adding some missing background information.

if anyone tries to check this approach in practice (on a smaller scale), wouldn't that be prohibited under the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty ?

Well, non of them in particular. But without side projects i would have lost interest long ago.

Smatbear has a great article on code reviews https://smartbear.com/blog/avoiding-the-politics-of-code-rev...

He has the following suggestions:

    - "Ensure that reviews are two-way. Never have people who only review and people who only get reviewed."
    - "Always focus on the code and not the person who wrote the code."
    - "Make the reviews small, frequent, and informal. Marathon group sessions in rooms make people defensive."
    - "Frame things as questions and suggestions rather than orders and accusations. Ask that others do the same."
    - "Automate as many checks as possible so that reviews don't focus on simple details."
    - You can frame the review as optional "asking for advice" instead of a gatekeeper approach of "getting the code approved"
    - Says that the potential harm of the bad approach is worse than taking up the risks, that is taking the risks that come with the policy of not requiring a code review for each and every commit.

Did he say anything about cloud providers/the SaaS loophole? I mean they do anything with GPL licensed software, as distribution does not happen. The AGPL addresses this issue, but it does not seem to be used much.

i thought they were trying to stage a kind of 'star wars' set in the desert. They are probably planning for several sequels, that's why they had to stretch it a bit.... (at least the worms were fun)

would that imply that the state would have to review the design and implementation of every system under their jurisdiction? I think that would be a bit heavy for everyone involved.

Where is your legislation supposed to draw the line? In Rust you need to have occasional unsafe code - you can't even have a double linked list or bidirectional graph without unsafe code. Would you also outlaw jni calls in java?

i don't think that people will ever fully trust an AI lawyer, given all the possible legal consquences of a misunderstanding between the AI and the client. You could literally go to jail because of a bug/misunderstanding due to an ambiguous term (this might make a good sci-fi story ...)

But yes, getting some kind of legal opinion will probably be cheaper with an AI.

>Pack it all up, boys, programming's over. Hello, AI.

I don't know, cranking out some suggestion for a function is not the same as writing a complete module / application.

Take the job of a translator, you would say the job would go extinct with all the advances in autotranslation? here it says that 'employment of interpreters and translators is projected to grow 20 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations' [1]. You still need a human being to clear up all of the ambiguities of languages.

Maybe the focus of the stuff we do will change, though; but on the other hand, we do tend to get a lots of changes in programming; it goes with the job. maybe we will get to do more code reviews of what was cranked out by some model.

However, within a decade it might be harder to get an entry level job as a programmer. I am not quite sure if i should suggest my profession to my kids, we might get a more competitive environment in some not so distant future.

io_uring was added to linux 5.1, that was in 2019. I have to admit that i didn't yet have the chance to use it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io_uring

Did you use io_uring? Is its performance much better than or comparable with using aio_read/aio_write for block io? (i did use async io for block io).

if you have an event driven system then end up with very frequent system calls.

When is it advisable to turn off spectre/meltdown mittigations in practice? My guess is that if you are on a server and not running any user supplied code then you are on the safe side; on condition that you could exclude buffer overuns by running managed code/java or by using Rust.

today i learned that jython and ironpyton don't have a global lock like that. interesting.

in the source there are quite a lot of references to a GIL (global interpreter lock). Does Cinder offer any improvements in terms of locking/GIL ? I didn't see any mention in the documentation. https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder/search?q=gil

correction: the documentation does mention the lock: https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder/blob/f60897df9f6...

How much of a difference is it going to make? I mean nowadays most people are going with python, for better or for worse.

I am not sure if they do regulations like this in our time. With At&t one could argue that this was a regulation that was dealing with a single country; with google & friends one can argue that this is a global thing and that export interests are at stake.

of course the law is supposed to deal with objective reality, and that considerations of context are not relevant here; however I am not sure that this is still true when things get tough.
