Probably tremendous value in directing AI coding towards exhaustive bug fixes + test generation, as opposed to generating new, potentially buggy code

Most valuable AI coder, like human, could be measured in negative lines

Projects along the lines of #Rust, long term stability, become foundational

Is there an island of stability where software actually feels known, like it's not just a stack of blocks like the xkcd?

Long way from

I gotta wonder, with a decade of AI development, will this problem increase in complexity? Orβ€”

Can someone explain why #NVidia has to update their drivers every time a new game comes out? Oh, this drivers optimized for... Mafia the Old Country? Cool...

But then you look at the fixes, and it's a laundry list of broken stuff. Each one, I assume, is a dev trying to fix a bug, tearing their hair

If recent history is any indication, people might consider buying this dip, because Trump's continued immunity from justice for his many crimes is directly couched in delivering a reliable dump and pump, for the ruling class to compound their wealth at an accelerated rate

Love how the go-to #Republican defense these days is "Hey, we're just different, and that's ok. You're a good person. I'm a bad person. And we should celebrate our differences together!"

Really, you guys, what makes America great is a beautiful patchwork of good and evil πŸ’€

How I see this shaping up:
Dems *will retake one but shockingly still not both houses of congress.

They *need *to use that wedge to hold up the entire legislative agenda, to press far beyond restoring the status quo, and pass a real Medicare for All program so this never happens again.

But...

By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people.

And he wasn't that old. Not even certain he was older than me, or at least by much. Always a shock to lose someone in their prime. But someone I could rely on, who was always on call and I believed had goals directly aligned with our shared long-term livelihood... devastating.

Maintenance requests, long-term overhead...and he filled the building with a group of people who actually LOOK like San Francisco. With all the horror stories of landlords floating around, I found a good one. Or rather, he found me. I literally wouldn't be here if he hadn't offered me the lease.

My property manager passed yesterday. Not the person who owns the building, just the middle manager who works between the owners and the tenants. Tom was really good at his job.

I feel lucky to have experienced the definition of ethical management. He took good care of the building and my neighbors

So the iPhone 17 looks exactly like the iPhone X, with one key difference that still makes the iPhone X feel like a phone from a decade or two in the future.

Tim Donald Cook, I WILL NOT buy a new iPhone until you switch from kiki back to bouba.
