Thinking that one or the other "side" isn't looking for control is quite refreshing to see.

So much hope in those youth innocence...

> The thing is: people quickly discover that even mediocre LLM-code with a mediocre LLM-review, is still better quality than what they hand wrote and hand-reviewed.

Emphasis mine.

I can't phantom some that bad at coding. Using such exaggeration void your comment.

Because it's well known that the data centers are essential for the survival of the species.

Now that we know that farms use a lot of water, we are clean to waste any lower amount of water.

Thank you!

Are corn ethanol and feedstock alfalfa (the two largest agricultural consumers of water) essential for the survival of the species?

It's essential for the united states to be able to feed it's population. Keeping land fertile for farming and all the necessary supply chain intact is a national security issue.

Corn ethanol is a weird carbon subsidy that shouldn't exist.

It's a weird carbon offset for the fuel industry that isn't effective and it diverts huge amounts of farm land away from food crop usage. It ties farms to industry rather than supplying food, binding their profitability to the price of oil far more and that only exists because the US Gov mandates the ethanol blend.

It's supposed to be because it's renewable/sustainable using a biological product, but the industry is heavily dependent on synthetic fertilisers which come from refineries.

There are a great many reasons to get rid of the ethanol mix. Lower food costs being the biggest. Now that EVs are practical the need for trying to whitewash combustion fuel is overbaked.

It's pork barrel spending for farming heavy states.

27% of crops grown in the US are used to feed humans.

So are data centers, in the modern economy. You think all those trucks manage their own logistics in their carburetors?

Nope. So much of that goes to corn because of silly subsidies or to feed cattle. Not really a matter of national security.

Careful about that, much of agriculture does not produce human staple food. Production of almonds in semi-arid regions of California does scream "luxury" to me.

> Now that we know that farms use a lot of water, we are clean to waste any lower amount of water.

If the difference is 1000x then definitely yes. Spending any attention talking about the 0.01% is a waste of time or deliberate misdirection.

I don’t understand how his argument. Lots of those crops go to feed cattle or corn going into ethanol. Those are ok choices (people could eat less meat).

The list of the greatest countries, always the same.

No worries, coding is solved they said in February 2026!

Isn't that a good news!

You have some kool-aid on your shirt, you should drink more carefully.

Probably Rust, that's always Rust with this kind of comments...

Java and C# also define what happens during data races enough that you can't break the memory safety guarantees with them.

Or basic software engineering and understanding of what memory safe means.

Memory safety != Data race free

Go’s issue isn’t data race, it is tearing and corruption. Pretending it is on the same class as what is considered data race is again, basic software engineering.

Yes, but Rust gets you both.

Sure. I like Rust. But i also know when not to use Rust.

> Or basic software engineering and understanding of what memory safe means.

Wow my dude, let's talk about YOUR engineering understanding hahaha.

Go talk to your LLM, you better have to...

I think the article is focusing on the shortcuts.

We know already what's happening after decade of optional thinking: electing dumass Presidents, walking the same path than Germany about 100 years ago, cut scientific research, social nets, etc.
