It's still usually cheaper to pay for software than it's to write it, maintain it and run it.

I don't believe other jobs are going to be as impacted as software engineering. Software is unique in that regard that the results can be verified quickly and easily fixed. On the other hand nobody is going to try building a building only to check if it's structurally sound because that would be absurd.

That's why I'm sceptical about the value of ai in software development. Much more can now be done but I don't see costumers paying more for it. The only way it can work is by laying off software engineers and saving money on their salaries.

Another thing to pay attention to is the margins of hardware companies like nvidia or micron. Hyperscalers are spending huge amount of money but the money mostly goes to the profits of hardware companies.

The ethnic composition of countries in Europe is definitely changing do I can't see how this can be "manufactured".

The current way too write software is too just ask the ai do it. StackOverflow will be soon mostly irrelevant completely.

There's no guarantee it'll generate big enough returns and it's probably at jacked up prices.

A terrible slopped website. They could have put a bit more effort into an actual design.

Three years ago the ai struggled to write a single function correctly.

it's for people who live in countries with capital controls and don't have access to normal securities accounts

They have huge margins and can absorb price increases of some of the components.

There's no point volunteering free time just to deal with slop.

These low level details have become unimportant since the ai can generate and debug them well imo.

it doesn't if you assume superdeterminism

it doesn't have to be done all at once

the php team should consider leveraging ai to rewrite the interpreter in rust like bun did recently

even dhh basically admitted that it was obsolete recently

The immigrants were let in Europe because politicians wanted to let them in.

These investments can be easily taxed or regulated so they don't generate any real profit once the oil countries are irrelevant.

How bad the other options are so that people are compelled to vote for them?

A counterexample that I can think of is agriculture. In the past almost everybody worked in it, now there are barely any farmers (relative to the overall population) producing much more food than before.

I think you're right in your comparison and that's way we'll soon see mass layoffs of software engineers. Software can now be produced with less people than before but I don't think there's market for more software.

do people really write '--' if they want to write an em dash or has the comment been just generated by an ai?

ai can work test the options and fix the builds

why don't they leverage ai for maintaining packages?

The purpose of a university is to provide a paper stating that one has completed it. If llms can do something decently, it is a waste of time to learn it properly.

He could have at least written the commit messages himself. That llm yapping is annoying to read.

I don't know if it is just me but it seems like a waste of time basically? Frontend code is almost always generated nowadays. Nobody is going to care about the framework details.

These "independent" organizations are usually just cliques without any kind of democratic oversight. Trump at least was elected.

Money comes from debt. Debt is essentially the way to print money.
