These are the CEOs that are replacing the workforce with AI. I fear for the future of humanity. Everything will be endless slop, with pre-slop era knowledge sold on a black market.
I've just started recently using Claude after being very unimpressed with Copilot, but my current theory is that you should treat everything it writes like a PoC that you found in some obscure github repo. Use it as a reference that you can generate quickly, take out only the good parts, adapt them to your context. It's harder to delete code than to write it, so it's easier to just take what you like from its output, rather than try to clean up all the nonsense it generates.
How accurate that is and how useful it is compared to just writing it from scratch varies a lot based on your particular project. You still need a good understanding of the output it produces, otherwise those subtle bugs and low quality adds up. The times it's the most useful are when it writes a lot of stuff that I would've written myself, but I can point to some detail and say "that's wrong, I'll write it myself".
Excuse my skepticism (it comes with experience), but after reading through AnkiHub's PR-speak AI slop, I doubt that a company with 40 employees that already uses a monthly subscription and AI is not going to enshittify this project. Did their team contribute anything to the OSS project while they were building a for profit company on top of it?
The important thing the article is missing, is that you should always respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting. Some people just don't like animations; either because they are distracting, or because they don't want to waste battery/cpu on useless things (looking at you, spotify player, using 15% of my cpu for some animated bars...)
It's pretty well known that nonprofit salaries are lower than the average, no? The whole non-profit thing tends to attract less investment, if any. Especially when the publication is doing a lot of research into the abuses of the rich and powerful, it's not like they're going to invest against their class interests.
No clue what you're talking about honestly. I've worked on a 7 million line python codebase, and while python had tons of issues, whitespace was not one of them. You can easily move things around and have never seen a bug due to bad indentation.
That was before there were a bazillion production ready languages with 30+ years of ecosystems out there. Any new language is going to have significantly more competition nowadays
Does a writefreely instance appear on lemmy as a community with posts written by the author? That would be so cool, and would go in the right direction of integrating different kinds of social media in one client.
Let's make a community powered, open source project to do this and watch them squirm when investors demand that million dollar CEOs get replaced with AI for higher investor returns.
It's a funny story because Ford was suspecting them of building a rival car company so he wasn't doing it entirely out of altruistic pursuits. He wanted to them to get lower profits from their Ford investments. Whenever you think capitalists have reached the peak of greed, they truly innovate.
The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits: a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders

This has only been recently challenged as a PR attempt to rebrand it into "stakeholder capitalism"
Also, not related but equally horrifying: in macroeconomics there is a target of unemployment of around 5%, aka full employment is to be avoided:

Wow, 10 years is still pretty young! Most of the other consolidated languages are at least 30 years old. Will be interesting to see how this project evolves.
Isn't this just the natural evolution of TDD? Write tests, pass them, don't care about how garbage the code is to make them pass
