Easy can still be time consuming. I think trying to get an LLM to spit out the whole program is a flawed approach, but I understand why you'd want to be able to spitball 12 different data models quickly.

I see a lot of people here saying things like:

>ah, they're so dumb, they don't get it, the anti-LLM people

This is one of the reasons I see AI failing in the short term. If I call you an idiot, are you more or less likely to be open minded and try what I'm selling? AI isn't making money, 95% of companies are failing with AI

I mean, your AIs might be a lot more powerful if it was generating money, but that's not happening. I guess being condescending to the 95% of potential buyers isn't really working out.


Oh great, more of my tax money goes to children I was too responsible to have. The whole US government is geared to fund people who can't keep it in their pants and produce children they could never afford. I'm really tired of this, because I know those children won't be taking care of me in my old age.

Every person born in the US was once a child, not having children in no way makes you more responsible, it just makes you opting out of a major part of society, which is a fine personal choice but if this was implemented when you were a child you would have benefited the same as anyone else.

Also, other peoples children WILL be taking care of you when you are old ,because they will be the doctors, firefighters, manufacturing line workers, delivery drivers and everyone else that carry out services that you will still need. They will also be contributing to the tax base that provides social services (social security is paid for by the current generations tax revenue not the original contributors', as bad as this is)


If you're having children you can't afford, you are irresponsible. That is simple and easy for anyone to understand. If you then take your irresponsiblity and pay for it with the tax money of responsible people, you're rewarding the irresponsible people and punishing the responsible ones.

The part where I didn't have children I couldn't afford is what makes it particularly galling. I gave up something and they didn't, but I'm punished and they are rewarded.


This is an account for the child once they turn 18. This is not money for the parents.

It appears that it's limited even after 18.

    After the growth period (that is, starting January 1st of the calendar year in which the child turns 18), most of the rules that apply to traditional IRAs will generally apply to the Trump account. For example, this means that distributions from the Trump account could be subject to the section 72(t) 10% additional tax on early distributions, unless an exception applies with respect to the child (such as for distributions for higher education expenses or first home purchases).

fine but the tradeoff is you are not getting any benefits or services from people younger than you. deal or no deal?

>You will not be allowed to have goods and services if you don't give me your money which you would need to buy goods and services.

Either way you steal the goods and services from me. Not only immoral, but self-entitled about it. Disgusting.


Government money spent on children typically has long term returns that far outweigh the cost due to decreased poverty and need for benefits later in life as well as higher earnings

Then why don’t you have a child to take care of you in your old age.

We spend almost nothing on children. >50% of the budget is social security, medicare and interest.

Not only should we spend more on children, we should encourage more people to have them. There's no issue more important than this.


I agree that we should be spending more on children, however, I don't think we should be encouraging people to have them. People will have more kids when they feel more secure in their life positions. We should be fixing the social fabric to where people will naturally want to have kids, not encouraging people to have kids when they don't feel like they can.

Well, first of all, this is some kind of grift by the nazi in chief. However your attitude is anathema to a healthy society.

GitHub started moving to Azure 3-4 months ago,

I wonder how much of these outages are related.


That doesn't change the fact that the submission is basically repeating the LISP curse. Best case scenario: you end up with a one-off framework and only you know how it works. The post you're replying to points out why this is a bad idea.

It doesn't matter if you don't use 90% of a framework as the submission bemoans. When everyone uses an identical API, but in different situations, you find lots of different problems that way. Your framework, and its users become a sort of BORG. When one of the framework users discovers a problem, it's fixed and propagated out before it can even be a problem for the rest of the BORG.

That's not true in your LISP curse, one off custom bespoke framework. You will repeat all the problems that all the other custom bespoke frameworks encountered. When they fixed their problem, they didn't fix it for you. You will find those problems over and over again. This is why free software dominates over proprietary software. The biggest problem in software is not writing the software, it's maintaining it. Free software shares the maintenance burden, so everyone can benefit. You bear the whole maintenance burden with your custom, one off vibe coded solutions.


My observation is that "AI" makes easy things easier and hard things impossible. You'll get your niche app out of it, you'll be thrilled, then you'll need it to do more. Then you will struggle to do more, because the AI created a pile of technical debt.

Programmers dream of getting a green field project. They want to "start it the right way this time" instead of being stuck unwinding technical debt on legacy projects. AI creates new legacy projects instantly.


Tim Cook is "stepping down" soon. Do you think his replacement will fix these things? I stopped using Apple stuff shortly after Steve Jobs died. Linus is still alive, but I wonder where I'll move once he is gone.


That's funny, my free software projects are fine. I'm not going to say "I told you so" to open source, but ... yeah.


Capital One are scumbags. I'm glad they are dying and spending their money on dying companies at the same time. Less than half valuation, lol.


They are doing the opposite of dying, the are among the largest credit issues in the US

This list counts Discover separately, but Discover is owned by CapitalOne now.


Stock up 15% up YoY. That company isnt dying by any measure. They just acquired a business banking company on the cheap.


>I have £90,000 of student debt to repay, but it felt like the right thing to do.

Debt is never "the right thing to do" ever.
