I have worked extensively with FP and non FP codebases with LLM. I find my highly type safe FP code works really really well with LLMs

sounds like a recipe for over-commenting. The code should be self-documenting. Comments are for the places where there are dragons.

my LLM does this pretty well with my coaching. i use a good model and i encourage it to make such improvements. and since the llm is trained on human maintainers it works fine.

The stuff i dreamed of doing but was smart enough to avoid in Java many years ago, is what I now use FP to do on the JVM, in scala, without any of the drawbacks of AOP. if i was stuck in java languiage on the jvm for some reason i could see the appeal of trying AOP now that LLM can assist with it. Thinking of the annoying stuff like setting up automated builds/compiler etc

yes and the proof was the spam email phoning home to russia. or, whatever other hoaxes they cooked up along the way. strangely most of them didnt make it into the trial where he was acquitted.

" it may be hard to believe that merely a few decades ago the most convenient way to keep track of time was a mechanical watch." I guess quartz is more convenient if you often take the watch off for more than a day. But my swiss automatics dont need a regular battery change, just a servicing every decade (or longer). I guess there are solar powered quartz watches though.

Or buy a nice Swiss automatic in the 1-2000 range.

Large codebases are much easier to manage with type safety. Not a fan of Go but definitely much better than python in this regard.

"Voters turn towards fascist leaders when democracy no longer serves workers, Kurz says. “New Deal” reforms during the Great Depression limited monopoly power and provided benefits to the vulnerable. According to Private Power and Democracy’s Decline, these reforms precipitated a “half-century of sustained innovations, rapid economic growth and stable income distribution”. Reagan-era reversals of those reforms led to what Kurz calls the “second Gilded Age”, when technological firms could accumulate monopoly power and wealth while most Americans, especially blue-collar workers without college degrees, saw their wages stagnate as the cost of living rose. It was this economic disenfranchisement, rather than cultural forces, that led to the rise of Maga, according to Kurz."

The MSM has been pushing hard for establishment Rs and most Ds, and tech oligarchs were sinking money in D areas like Zuckerberg in WI in 2020. (A "maga" election, per the articles comment)

I agree that tech oligarchy shouldn't be influencing politics so much, but i dont think this makes Dems or anyone else 'fascist' necessarily.
