There is none, that’s kind of the objective of this stuff, to raise the skill floor, make everyone is fungible so companies can drive down salaries. If you want to secure your career, make friends with powerful people, learn how to kiss ass.

How far are we from LLMs nuking their alpha? If they can make mathematical discoveries it’s just a matter of time and data.

Child benefits should be capped at 2 also. We’re encouraging the most lazy uneducated people in society to breed like rabbits.

Get Copilot to fix it.

Europe is divided and conquered, even though it looks like a single entity, US can buy some politicians in some parts of the EU and they would go against any resolution against US.

You can't win a battle when you have 20 generals and require the force of 20 in the way, when each has its own agenda and incentives and some of them are easy to buy

My first thought is that it's because every country that doesn't capitulate to the US gets invaded by the US and destroyed. See Venezuela.

Rust is a nice language but it’s so heavy. Since our company switched from Go I’ve had to become used to my laptop being burning hot and stuttering whilst trying to do anything during compilation.

yeah, I've been doing some game dev with rust, and the cost of iteration is hugely higher (though it has been worth it so far). Often a build takes 10min+. Something like this project would help a lot if it supported windows.

It is pretty noticeable if you have agents working in subtrees too, a fresh build in a worktree can be like 20min with bevy

Bevy (the engine itself) actually compiles faster than Godot (the engine itself) on my machine. The difference is that Godot ships the engine pre-compiled. With cached builds / shared builds (and/or dynamic linking) things look much better. (disclosure: I am Bevy's creator). That being said, if you're doing GDScript for game logic (or even C#) in Godot, game logic does still compile much faster in Godot. And the "precompiled Bevy / dynamic linking game logic" pattern in Bevy isn't a standard workflow atm (but with the upcoming editor we're planning on making that easier to set up).

It doesn’t have to be like this though. Jonathon Blow’s new game compiles at a crazy speed, like under 5s IIRC.

Afaik those speeds are only unoptimized non-llvm builds, and the things that make rust compile times slow are llvm and things Jai doesn't do like traits and monomorphization

D and Delphi do generics and monomorphization.

D goes further as it actually has compile time reflection and C++ style templates, even if ldc is slower than dmd, it remains quite fast.

Go is already massively better than Python on just about any use case, and handily beats most VM languages when startup cost is a consideration. Rust performance over Go is really only noticeable if the application is bound on compute rather than I/O.

You can limit the threads

If Go devs were more welcoming to 1970's programming language research, there would be even less reasons to use Rust.

Many folks reach for it, because it is the only ML like language that they are aware of, and not necessarily due to the borrow checker.

On the other hand, Rust could have by now, the same kind of interpreters/JIT alternative implementations that OCaml, Standard ML, F#, Scala, Haskell enjoy, some of them for at least 30 years.

I'm curious. Is there anything stopping someone from building a Rust to Go compiler?

The problem lies in the details of language semantics, or standard library, that you cannot as easily make use of on Go, some of which might require straight Assembly, or a kind of "Rust on Go runtime" helper library, at which point it is more of an intellectual exercise than anything else.

Think of it as, while you can compile C or C++ to JavaScript with asmjs, eventually WebAssembly was a more saner alternative.

Everyone wants to think they’re morally superior, that they wouldn’t do the same. Newsflash people, having sexual desires is a very natural human thing, it’s wired into us all. You don’t know what his marriage was like. Could’ve been the most draining thing imaginable but maybe he wanted to keep it together for his kids.

He made a very human mistake and now his personal life is on display for the world to read about. I feel sorry for him.

No? I have heard literally nobody say that AI guarantees insecure code will never be written again.

Erm.

I've seen a number of companies (and HN contributors) explain that AI produces code that is better than coders. Which, of course, if you actually think about it carefully, doesn't guarantee anything about security, but that's not how executives understand the sentence.

> I've seen a number of companies (and HN contributors) explain that AI produces code that is better than coders

Feels like a straw man argument.

When I've seen comments like this it's always been related to giving them narrowly focused work.

E.g.

- fix specific security issue in existing auth system.

- find cause of and fix a specific bug

Etc.

If anyone is claiming they get better results from less specific prompts like "build me a login system" I haven't seen it. I'm sure there are people making those claims - it's the internet, you can find a thousand people backing any dumb viewpoint on Twitter - but it's definitely not a widely accepted viewpoint amongst professionals.

They do it by implication:

AI Companies: "AI is now amazing at spotting insecure code"

Implication: If it can spot it, all the code it writes must therefore be secure

> Implication: If it can spot it, all the code it writes must therefore be secure

Which is funny to anyone that's prompted one to review some code for security problems where that code is something it generated previously.

I've had a co-worker "review" my change using an LLM, and the comment concerned a pre-existing behavior... Which was introduced by the same person.

Jenkins over GHA is insane.

GHA over Jenkins is insane. Every time I’ve touched GHA, I’ve just been shocked with how bad the ecosystem is.

It feels like, I don’t know. You go to somebody’s house and they have one plate, one cup, one spork. They’re living in a 30th floor walk-up, but one of the windows is missing so there’s a giant hole in the wall.

That’s kind of the subjective experience I get when I see people using GitHub actions.

I'm not saying GHA is much better, but Jenkins is literally swiss cheese, it has vulnerabilities every day of the week. Even just as an internal service not exposed to the internet it's dangerous.

I think it's worth even considering that if the allegations are true that the objective was to get Huang fired. Sure, he sold China chips, but they have their own homegrown chips now and the Chinese government have played a direct part in that.
