  • I see. We're at full blown ad hominem and removed even the pretense of argumentative value.

    That's of course a sure sign of maturity.

    Maybe all the juniors around you suck, because the good ones don't need to waste their time with arrogant, abrasive coworkers.

  • Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC

  • It's already fourth tier after L1, L2, L3 caches.

    Maybe something like optane will make a comeback. Having 16gb of soldered RAM and 500gb of relatively slow, but inexpensive optane RAM would be great.

  • I tried cursor, claude, copilot. They're not good.

    Like, they can sometimes generate 10 lines of perfectly reasonable code, but they constantly completely misunderstand my intention or simply produce garbage. But the garbage looks just good enough, that you actually have to read and understand it, which slows me down.

    Maybe we're operating in completely different worlds, but even for the junior devs in my company, typing speed was never an issue. I'm sure, within a few years LLMs can generate much better code, but I don't see widespread unemployment. They need way too much babysitting and result in worse code.

  • No, I fully understand your point, I just think it's shit, and since your first reaction to being challenged is a shitty attempt at belittling, I have to assume you're about as valuable as your point.

    Why would I trust the judgement of someone who can't even fathom the concept of "someone else might have a valid point"?

  • You're right in your analysis, but the prediction is wrong, I'm afraid.

    The next "big thing" is taking over the government. See Musk and his gang. He's not alone and the US isn't the only country this is happening in. Corporations inject themselves into each and every transaction, every aspect of life and politics. That way they have essentially infinite money at their hands.

  • That's exactly what I mean. Condescending, arrogant, and confidently incorrect.

  • See, acting like a condescending asshole without any substance is a task that AI may never take from us.

  • Translation on a level an AI could do is already pretty cheap, nobody's gonna throw a nuanced legal document at an AI and rely on it.

    Junior devs are much smarter than any current AI, because they know what they want to achieve and why. There's a reason why all the demos are toy examples. Actual code is messy and full of quirks because of weird requirements.

  • No, they are not. Why do you think there's not a single AI company that's making a profit from an actual product/service? The only ones with a real business plan are nvidia and other shovel merchants.

  • Thing is, it doesn't replace workers. And it won't for the foreseeable future. Even Microsoft itself had to admit that their studies show AI assisted coding to be bad and making developers worse.

    There is hardly any market where these systems can reasonably compete with exploited humans. It's just that the tech bros have nothing left to invest in. The same idiots that pushed crypto, NFTs and the Metaverse are now pushing for AI. There is hardly any innovation anymore, so the only ways to make line go up are rent seeking and investing in bubbles in the desperate attempt, that something might stick.

  • Same BS every year

    Jump

  • That's a solved problem, though (and I described it in my comment). If you always assume the current month's payment is 1/12th of your yearly salary, you already pay according to the tax bracket relevant to you. You might overpay a bit, but most people don't double their income within a year, so the refund is typically not that much.

  • Same BS every year

    Jump

  • Why, though?

    I'm in Germany and my employer kind of knows how much they pay me. So they can easily calculate the income tax correctly. It's just assumed that each month's salary is 1/12th of my yearly income and taxed appropriately.

    You can literally live your entire life without "doing taxes" even once (though it's a good idea for your individual deductions).

    Science is just structured failing forward with a protocol.

  • You're disengaging a lot then.

    See, maybe if everyone you meet is an asshole, that could say something about you as well.

  • Does that attitude work for you? In general, I mean. Doesn't seem very effective.

  • It's the maximum amount of respect you can't expect for posting nonsense.

    Why on earth do you think something keeps working just because it survived the warranty period? That doesn't make any sense.

  • Read that statement again and ask yourself, if it really makes sense .

  • It's still there, though.

    And since it's usually one integrated board, a failure in the "bullshit" will likely affect the not-shit.
