"Yes, okay, my name is... kllllaaaarrrrrg... i-ifer. Klargifer Caltrop."

"Klargifer is a strange name for a halfling."

"Yuh- yeah. Yeeesss. I suppose it is. That's why I hate my parents."

"Yeah? And what are their names?"

IMO around 2006 is when you see the decline. It's the delineation between kids who started with computers, and kids that started with phones or tablets.

From my experience, being "good" at vibe coding is more about being unable to detect flaws in AI generated code rather than being able to code well. Add AI to the workflow of someone who actually understands scalability and maintenance and that won't be able to get past a couple functions before they drop the AI.

Also, assuming this kid gets weekends off, he would be writing 12k lines of code each day. I don't think the average programmer could even review that number of lines in a day, so there's likely no actual supervision for what the kid is feeding into the codebase.

I'd estimate within four months the project will be impenetrable, and they'll scrap the whole thing.

Anything that is turning complete & has enough ram can emulate x86, and an x86 emulator can boot Linux.

Oh boy, can't wait for DOGE to receive all the private info the government stores about me! I'm sure that hiring kids with no experience to program every single automatizable aspect of the government will turn out just fine! 🫠

Hand written assembly is much more powerful than a turing-complete high level language because it lets you fuck up everything. Rust and python are way too wimpy to allow a user to destroy their computer.

So you made a meme about how your opponent is completely irrational and you are a paragon of logic and reason, and then proceeded to declare yourself the winner?

This happens to everyone. It happens because your brain registers the other person saying something before it actually understands what is being said. And when most people don't know what someone said, they ask, "what?" without even thinking. Source: my intro to psych textbook.

This might be happening because of the 'elegant' (incredibly hacky) way openai encodes multiple languages into their models. Instead of using all character sets, they use a modulo operator on each character, to make all Unicode characters represented by a small range of values. On the back end, it somehow detects which language is being spoken, and uses that character set for the response. Seeing as the last line seems to be the same mathematical expression as what you asked, my guess is that your equation just happened to perfectly match some sentence that would make sense in the weird language.

Rust is the WORST programming "language."

  1. it is against the natural order for a PROGRAM to tell the PROGRAMMER how to fix an error. Fixes should ONLY come from PROPHETIC DREAMS.
  2. obfuscation should be done for FUN by PROGRAMMERS to SCARE python programmers. It should NOT be a MANDATORY feature of a language.
  3. Memory leaks are a GIFT given to us by GOD. Programmers will ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD for SOLUTIONS as long as there are MEMORY LEAKS.

People keep answering this in the most boring way. Here's a slightly less boring answer:

Wait for nightfall

Sneak up to the dino

Stab it in the eye

Run into hut

The T-Rex won't be able to remove the knife, so it will become infected and eventually kill it.

The big issue I have with brain chips is longevity. How long until the electrodes degrade? When will the chips fail? Once they fail, will it be fail safe or fail deadly? Also, what will be the power source? Will it use inductive power, or battery power? They are both awful options. What if the chip overheats? The implementation is the real question here, but neuralink refuse to give any answers because it proprietary.
