Interviewer:
CPU is 15%
Memory is 40%
Network traffic is low.
But users are getting hit with random 500 errors.
The logs show the database is completely healthy.
But the app says it literally cannot write to the disk.
The hardware dashboard says you have 500GB of free space.
What did you actually run out of?

No matter how good Claude is at coding, it’s still a redditor, at least at factory settings. This answer is brain-dead garbage. No, working for money is not a scam, and no other historical system didn’t involve work.

The biggest scam humanity has collectively accepted as normal, according to Claude

Keep in mind that assembly is still there.
So is C (what do you think the JVM is written in)?
The key takeaway is simple. Just because the abstraction happens doesn't mean the underlying machinery goes away.
We may never directly interface with assembly, but it's still far and away the best way to understand what a processor is actually doing. It gives tremendous insight in what higher level languages do.
The kind of insight that's indispensable and separate system developers from app creators. But anyone working with computers, especially developing software, can benefit tremendously from understanding the layers beneath the abstraction.
It's not like they're going anywhere anytime soon
English

Before C, someone writing assembly would say "hand-writing" assembly is fun.
Before Java someone would say manually allocating memory in C is fun.
Just accept that coding has been abstracted and it will not come back, the minimum building block now is architecture components.

I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL. Don’t you *LIKE* understanding the magic of the machine? You do realize hand-programming (I hate that I even have to specify hand now) is fun…right?
English

@awesomekling Or maybe the litmus test between those in for the love of the game and those only in it for the money.

I get what it's supposed to be like and I agree with the original intent of the parent system. I just think it's a tad naive to think that's how it works today. To protect the little guy. Right? No. The enitites who benefit the most by far are the massive companies sucking up all the parents. Anyways, I think patents should expire faster if invented by more massive companies. Maybe they won't stay so big for much longer if that were the case. Many small companies, few big ones. That's a better shape no?
English

@omninomsky @Vivek4real_ Nope its the opposite for majority of the cases if not for patents big companies would be able to steal and destroy little companies

PALMER LUCKEY:
“PATENTS ARE CHINESE INSTRUCTION MANUALS.”
“STOP PATENTING EVERYTHING.
THE FOUNDING FATHERS NEVER PREDICTED A WORLD WHERE THE ENTIRE PATENT OFFICE COULD BE DOWNLOADED EVERY MORNING, RIPPED OFF, AND USED TO FIGHT A WAR AGAINST YOU.”
“WE NEED TO FUNDAMENTALLY REVISIT THE PATENT SYSTEM.”
“I THINK WE NEED TO MASSIVELY EXPAND THE NATIONAL SECURITY PATENT PROCESS.
YOU CAN OBTAIN A CLASSIFIED PATENT THAT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DISCLOSE TO ANYONE...
WHILE STILL MAINTAINING EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS.”
“WE NEED TO MASSIVELY EXPAND THAT PROGRAM.”

@derbaertiger @found_it_funny Anti-fascists are fascists just in reverse.

@KevinMaris @TheShadowIntelX Is it most people who are stupid? Or could it be you?
English

@KevinMaris @TheShadowIntelX At least 80%. I'm in a red state and didn't know a single person enthusiastic about this war. Most are pissed about it.
English

@TheShadowIntelX 80% do not oppose the war with Iran but 99% of us believe Tucker is a retard

This is what peak tech illiteracy looks like.
Anyone who buys into this fundamentally doesn't understand how computers work, where AIs are useful, and why this is a uniquely, profoundly bad approach.
There isn't just one very hard problem to solve here in order for this to work,but many.
Even if they somehow managed to get it working, it'd likely be a suboptimal hodgepodge between AI and compiler, heavy on the compiler.
English

Elon Musk just told the highest-paid profession on earth it was never a skill. It was a workaround.
AI no longer needs programming languages at all. It writes machine code directly. Raw binary optimized beyond anything human logic could produce.
No syntax. No compiler. No translator.
Musk: “You don’t even bother doing coding.”
Every language ever written. Every framework ever built. Every career spent mastering them.
All of it was humanity’s way of approximating what machines actually needed. We didn’t learn to speak to computers. We spent fifty years building a crutch because we couldn’t.
AI just made the crutch irrelevant.
Now add Neuralink. No keyboard. No screen. No interface.
Musk: “Imagination-to-software.”
Intention becomes execution. Nothing between what you imagine and what exists.
Humanity spent its entire history building tools to shrink the gap between mind and reality. Language. Writing. Mathematics. Code.
Every one was just a smaller bottleneck. AI doesn’t shrink the bottleneck. It removes the gap.
The entire framework of technical expertise just collapsed into one question. Can you think clearly.
Everyone else is debating how AI changes development. Musk already moved past the debate. He’s not optimizing the process. He’s dissolving the need for one.
The barrier between imagination and reality held for all of human history. It just fell.
English

@Americanist144 @TheChiefNerd No.
The world's data is not America's IP.
All of the data on the internet and in all the libraries is not America's IP. It belongs to the world.
English

And so they’re turning to Chinese AI which is literally just professional thieves of American IP stealing American IP and reselling it to shitty thieving masquerading VCs.
Disloyalty and greed aren’t sufficiently descriptive terms for “investors” who extract everything they can from Americans, give it to China, then tell Americans we’re shitty for letting China steal it and sell it back to us.

@giddboot @reggiebblue I guess you were just completely memory held for the past decade. I'll sum it up in a single gripe: purity tests.
Purity tests killed the Democratoc party.
English

@omninomsky @reggiebblue The Repubs, on the other hand, have consistently shown they're just incompetent, corrupt, racist & dumb with next to zero redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Disappointed Trump voter: "We've always voted Republican but that is about to change. Our biggest support right now -- where everybody is headed is to vote for a Democrat. There were Trump signs everywhere. Those signs are gone. There is not a Trump sign in this county anymore. People feel betrayed. We voted for you and you are doing this to us."
English

@BBCross_Farm @r0ck3t23 He actually isn't correct. AI cannot produce raw machine code/binaries (and shouldn't). Not would I trust it to produce assembly, there's a much better tool capable of producing both and that's called a compiler and they've been around for many decades.
English

@r0ck3t23 He is correct. And AI can covert most of the code into direct assembly, which is the most efficient way to interface hardware.
English

@dev_maims It depends. If it's a good company it'll be the former. If it's a company that shouldn't be in the business of developing software it'll be the latter.
English

Well, there's no oil in the pic. But it's a roughneck smoking a cigarette on a platform. We can probably assume they're still far from hitting production. And it's not like the oil bursts out of the ground onto everything right? I assume it's never directly exposed to the crew with modern day equipment.
English

@Chivan1288 @nimbusurf @Vivek4real_ "I can't figure out how to do it therefore no one can" is the energy I get from this post.
We know you can't, but it turns out it's not that hard for moderately knowledgeable people to get near frontier level capability with open source models.
English

@nimbusurf @omninomsky @Vivek4real_ open source is still a joke look at glm 5.2 its all noise no one is actually using it for serious tasks
specialized model is a pipe dream lmao anyone that wants to build one to avoid the big 4 AIs are too dumb to do so
English

Right.
I get know-nothing/tech-illiterate heads of companies are currently bedazzled by marketing.
Many of them, however, already have buyer's remorse. Most of them, believe it or not, don't want to go out of business.
It's not actually cheaper when the goal is functioning products. It ends up costing about the same marginally, and that's with disciplined teams. With incapable teams, we're seeing a lot of people committing slop.
Anyone paying attention to those in the industry who actually have to make the rubber hit the road are telling the same story.
So maybe chill out and come back to reality? Just a suggestion.
English

@omninomsky @Vivek4real_ its clearly not "meh" code if the biggest enterprise companies are throwing their entire budget at it lmao
they won't stop using it. the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. if you coded anything for your own personal needs you can tell within 5 minutes.
it is cheaper LOL
