@paniconi_fabio @matrixbt He's not, I remember this from when it happened, people had to explain to him what github was, and then after he learned about it he came back and apologized

@matrixbt he is obviously a troll, normal people that do not work with code do not have a github account

What do you mean Jose, they have Claude Code Mythos already, I heard on the dark web that Anthropic has already internally created Unreal Engine 7, GTA 7, replaced the entire Adobe Suite with their own native apps that have 10x more features and are 20x more performant, Mirconix (the upcoming leading operating system of the planet) and YouTube 2, their revolutionary streaming platform. The AI is so smart that it's even designing its own GPUs and TPUs to run itself at an affordable cost, AND they're building rockets and space habitats to start colonizing the solar system. All without writing a single line of code by hand. If you're not coding at 10,000x with AI, you're falling behind man.

At this point, this is just irresponsible. Yes, coding agents are leading to an increase of software production, but we are not seeing a similar push or increase in software quality. If Anthropic focuses on safety and it believes software engineering is going away, then it needs to be doing much more to improve how we design, build, test, and maintain software (aka software engineering). Increasing the production of unreliable, poorly designed, and unverified software directly undermines safety. Claude Code is claimed to be "fully written by AI". In the last two months, it took three separate postmortem-worthy failures and user complaints to surface what their own testing missed. Yesterday users were being over billed by hundreds of dollars. Software engineering isn't ready to go away and there is not enough progress to argue that case. I am certain Anthropic would argue that AI progress in other domains is strongly dependent on having proper safeguards in place. I can't wrap my head around the cognitive dissonance when it comes to software. PS: Mythos (may) improve software security, but that is only a subset of safety.

@rfleury No Ryan, 1-spaced indents will never become the norm, stop trying to make fetch happen.

Anyone with a pulse who will boost my engagement numbers… Be honest, what is your answer to <idiotic question>? 🤔🧐

And not to quote slop at you, but it is well understood that trust is about safety, whether from general crime, corruption, govt. agencies, etc. It all ties in together in a complicated way, but the point is more that in a place like Japan, they would probably crack down on people trying to have a pickpocket ring in their metro systems, and other citizens are likely to help you, and the police are less corrupt and are there to actually uphold the law, etc.

@NotAttained And high trust is not about perception of safety. This is the reason why he was asked to not talk about such topics because he sounds stupid. If you know what word means you know it doesn't mean what he thinks it means.

Since the dude blocked me. No. You're completely missing the point. "JaPaN iS hIgH trUsT" is a bad analysis since there's enormous material differences. In both countries you can have diametric opposite situations and "high trust" has no role in it. x.com/i/status/20486…

@bernielomax Well he is obviously joking about the third world thing and being hyperbolic, but maybe that's not obvious to everyone watching...

@NotAttained "going to a third world country, like, France" That's him shitting all over the viewers, BTW. And then he uses "high trust" to differentiate Japan and France, as if that's the decisive value that decides whether people are annoying to him as a tourist.

Yeah I don't disagree, I pay for premium not because I get any engagement, it's because I'm really bad at being a terse writer (as I'm sure you've noticed) and I hate being cut off by the tweet limit, so they suckered me into paying. But in some respects I like twitter insomuch that at least a lot of accounts I follow are real people with storied backgrounds. On more anonymous sites, people make a lot of engineering claims with a lot of hubris. At least on this site, if John Carmack says something about the craft of programming, and it's something that previously went against my beliefs, I can sit there and analyze my own thinking and assume that I'm an idiot and have something to learn from Carmack. On Reddit for example some years ago, I copy pasted word for word some of Carmack's emails or w/e about inlining functions, and people told me that those were "the dumbest arguments they had ever seen", then I linked to the source and they just stopped responding.

@NotAttained the decision makers aren't interested in the craft and generally lack respect for the audience. Hence tolerating get-rich-quick-schemes, which again is rewarded by society, which gives them more power and cycle repeats.

You'll have to show me the quote where anyone said anything like that, I think Ryan's examples were different than mine, and he off-handedly said "high trust society" in a way to encompass the things he was complaning about. That is a colloquially recognized thing btw, most people in day-to-day discourse are talking about crime & safety when they talk about living in a "high trust society".

@NotAttained But we're not talking mainly about safety. We are talking about reducing every factor of a country down to a single data point.

This is a more interesting debate, but also what is considered a crime isn't the same across societies, and that's kind of the point, there is not a good standard for what is acceptable/unacceptable on the major social media sites. I would argue that the slop we see every day should be rare, and when someone engages in it they should be a shameful experience for them, and not something that gains them anything, whether engagement, financial, etc.

@NotAttained But you're trying to transfer perception of crime to "how much enshitification happens". One could try making arguments about how enshitification relates to trust, but that's not the argument.

Annoyances in business is pretty vague, but we're still just talking about general public expectations. And yes, broadly speaking there are countries that you would not be safe in as a Norwegian. There are even many countries where you can go vacation where you will be explicitly told to stay in the resorts by locals so that you can remain safe.

@NotAttained And when it comes to a theory of slop and bad faith, it especially misses, since it doesn't follow such parameters. Japan has annoyances in business, while France might not have it. Refusing to even try acknowledging how this reduction is unhelpful is bad faith.

@bernielomax Since this is like the 5th time you've used it as a gotcha, I regret to inform you I'm European just like you.

@NotAttained And more to the point, since you keep missing it. Reducing whole countries to stereotypical categories such as "high trust" (which is all over the place) is really arrogant. It is really hard for Americans to get this. Having a Paris Syndrome is a tourist thing.

I'm not talking about perception *alone*, I'm talking about data and perception, opinions are one thing, including people *claiming* they trust people in their society. I actually care more about empirical data, e.g., real safety, real cleanliness, real public disturbance values. I also don't get why you're disagreeing, you *know* social media is inundated with garbage, the analogy is just that some places on the planet suck to live in, and some places are still quite good, and that we can all wish the internet was a better place.

@NotAttained That you cherry pick data to show two countries fit your personal experiences isn't really a good model. You're talking about "perception of safety", which is something else than "high trust" . I felt more trust sharing dinner in a Sudanese refugee camp then in rich LA.

I'm not sure if/how long you followed Ryan for, but he has tried for a long time to try to have reasonable debates with people and it ends up being a waste of time and goes nowhere, so I think now he's just half trolling. Whether it's right or not, I can't say, and obviously Ryan is good friends with many Europeans so I doubt he endorses that random guy's post. But he went to speak at a conference in Europe just this past summer, and obviously helped push Vjekoslav's (Croatian) FilePilot on here, etc. Also isn't Fleury a French last name? Maybe unrelated but it's possible he even has family in France and is speaking from experience...

@NotAttained And he's not having a good faith discussion when he brands intelligent replies as "Reddit slop", when that's what he's engaging in.

The data I sent you does illustrate my point, but I guess you don't really care about any research that doesn't align with your internet debates. Separately, I'm starting to feel like you're bad faith and refuse to engage with any points that you don't like to hear. So again, when *I* talk about the kind of "societal trust" I value, I'm talking about things like crime, safety, cleanliness, and general experience when out in public, e.g., are people going to rob me, are sales people going to run up to me in a grocery store and ask me invasive questions about which phone carrier I'm using, is it safe to walk around almost everywhere at all times, etc. etc. If you can acknowledge that there are these categories of things that you can experience, and that THEY ARE DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT PLACES. Playing dumb semantic games about arbitrary definitions of "trust" are stupid, I don't trust you with my banking details and social security number, but I trust you not to rob me on public transportation.

@NotAttained That data illustrates my point; if it was data there would be signal. But when you reduce a billion data points to a single number you get noise. Wow you lived in so many places and you learnt nothing. You're still like any other naive American.

Your analysis was so good you had to go back on your own numbers, then you had to pick the weakest data possible to corroborate your "views". And you haven't even lived in other countries? I'm telling you that you're actually being childish, you are just pontificating from afar, I have lived in over a dozen countries for at least 1 year+ spanning 3 continents. You don't actually know anything about what it feels like to live in any of these places, you're a tourist at best.

@NotAttained Essentially your analysis is shit. There's zero value to it.

But as a separate response, you are massively cherry picking poor data with poor testing. "When available, we consider “Don’t know” and “No answer” to be valid response categories and include them in percentage calculations. “Missing” responses, however, are excluded from the set of possible answers." Is a vague and horrible metric to gauge what something as nuanced as "trust" means. But to be clear, if it maybe helps you more, *myself* and most people when speaking generally, are just talking about general safety and pleasantness expected from the people in your society. If you feel unpleasant or endangered in any kind of way (as a human from this planet you presumably know what I'm talking about), that is a knock on the environment you're in. And bringing this back, this was all a vague analogy about massive sites on the internet today, which is actually (again) an apt comparison. I don't think I'm engaging with good faith people most of the time. This website is full of slop for engagement, spam for engagement, ragebait for engagement, etc. The sentiment (I don't want to speak for him but I'll guess) is that he wishes the internet broadly was a place where people were having good faith, intelligent discussions about things. You can find pockets of this if you search hard enough, but most of social media is diluted into pure garbage if you don't work very hard on removing bad curation from your algorithms.

@NotAttained Yes, I do. Yet, talking about USA as similar to Japan because both have similar trust isn't very meaningful, is it?

@bernielomax I don't know if you know this or not, but the USA is actually *not* France. Random thing to bring up... That's like me saying Norway is higher trust than the USA randomly, which is actually true! You live in Norway, don't you?

@NotAttained Okay I should have specified even closer here, where i said i read wrong. x.com/i/status/20486…

@bernielomax Ohh, this one doesn't show France ahead of Japan :(

@NotAttained And i used this.. It's such vague pieces of data to try defining whole countries with. It's a form of nationalist pop-psychology that Americans especially partake in. You said "high-trust" but you actually meant "low perception of crime". ourworldindata.org/grapher/self-r…

@bernielomax pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

@NotAttained Sorry, I read wrong. But with 26% Vs 34% there's not an enormous difference. That still puts Japan below USA (37%) and so on. There are completely different factors at play, and they aren't tied to nationality. It's simply reading tea leaves.

He blocked me so I can't respond but lol: github.com/id-Software/DO… Guess John Carmack's writings on why you want longer files and why you might want to inline functions instead of abstracting everything don't mean much to legendary programmers like alkimiadev. Thank god you were there to steer us away from the teachings of crappy programmers like Carmack! Phew that was close, almost ended up becoming more mediocre myself!

@alkimiadev @JaidCodes It’s hard to imagine because you are a perennially mediocre programmer.

Thought this was an overly harsh response to someone who asks for permission to work for free. Then I looked into the PRs attached to the application. Bless Mitchell’s soul.
