  • Europe built sovereign clouds to escape US control. Then forgot about the processors

  • RISC-V is more like 1-3 years away from CPUs existing that have competitive performance in datacenter workloads. Not decades

    I’ve been hearing this for the past five years.

    People seem to forget that if one arch moves forward, so do every single competitor out there.

  • TIL that reading scores have plummeted in school districts around the U.S.

  • I would like to know what’s the influence of first generation immigration in these charts, because the states are kind of shit at reporting that.

    My kids speak Spanish. They can read in both Spanish and English, but they learned Spanish first, so it took them a while to catch up in English. Many of their classmates come from Spanish speaking families, English is their second language, and they have a bit more of trouble. The issue here is that state level standardized testing doesn’t seem to care about Spanish at all, so you may find a bunch of very smart kids who score below average just because they speak more than one language, which is frankly insane.

  • ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Package Manager Where This Regularly Happens

    Jump

  • I don’t know why it wouldn’t. This is the model Go uses, their package registry is just a glorified index of code repositories.

    C is not that popular nowadays because most devs don’t want to deal with the tradeoffs, most importantly memory handling and management.

  • Because distro packages rely on a small group of trusted maintainers, while anyone can publish anything to the NPM registry.

    Also, distro packages are usually full fledged applications or libraries, which require a certain number of developers upstream to maintain them. There are thousands of NPM packages out there that are essentially walking corpses waiting to be infected.

  • Yes. The one they had to promote Squid Game a couple years ago was especially loud.

  • I’ve seen these running in East Asia for several years now, admittedly not in 3D but still really annoying, as they can get extremely loud sometimes.

  • That’s not enough for production code.

    Besides, this just reads like what a kid does with a Lego.

  • Princeton scraps honor code and will supervise exams for first time in 133 years because of AI

  • I’m sorry, does this mean that students were taking tests unsupervised until now?

  • Yet the need for skills remained.

    What kind of skills are needed to ask a non deterministic machine to code things one cannot understand in the first place?

    Most Americans say AI development is moving too fast and twice as many are AI pessimists as AI optimists

    Jump

  • This assumes that the owning class will let you make use of that time, which is and always has been untrue.

    Also, I find it incredible that “coding” and “accounting” are now “mundane things”. Get off that ivory tower of yours, you definitely need to breath some thicker air.

  • This is exactly the kind of cluelessness I was talking about. Again, training is way more expensive than running models, and very obviously a rig that costs several thousands of dollars is something not many people have access to.

  • That’s not at all what the previous message said. You cannot call it a “programming language” and then add all these caveats that programming languages don’t suffer from.

  • If you mean the likes of COBOL, I’d say that’s hardly natural language.

  • I’d rather have no code at all, if I’m being honest.

  • Still terrible code.

    I’ve seen bad coders trying to merge hundreds of lines of code where maybe ten were needed. They rely on more experienced devs to tell them how to fix that, just for these to copy and paste the suggestions given in Claude.

    I mean if that’s the value someone provides, no wonder they fear for their future.

  • If natural languages were just another level of abstraction, we would already have a successful English like programming language.

  • You will learn to like something because you’re being extorted to use it.

    Sounds about right.

  • Many people believe this, and it couldn’t be more wrong. It’s like saying that a product manager can code, if their tickets are detailed enough to give a general vision of a piece of software.

    Implementation still matters. Context still matters. Vibe coded projects all follow these patterns where each change is a thousand lines of code out, two thousand in. And there’s a breaking point where reading and understanding these changes is not only unpractical, but also counterproductive.

    But then, there’s the bigger question of language expressivity and determinism: even if LLMs could achieve a certain level of consistency of outputs given certain inputs, how do we make a natural language like English expressive enough, and more importantly, non ambiguous enough, to work like an actual programming language?
