It'll do it for you within the day because it's stealing from all those other projects. Eventually there'll be nothing left to steal from.

Weird romanization, wouldn't it be "suika"? There's no "ca" grapheme in common Japanese romanization systems iirc.

The article explains it is romanized that way since it comes from "card".

Yeah, some people only assign value to things in terms of money and economics. I will never understand these people.

You are the art.

I have always thought that there are two kinds of programmer, the tinker and the mathematician. The tinker likes to code operating systems and shells, the mathematician likes to code Haskell and Agda. You've updated my belief that there are a third kind, the entrepreneur, which sees programming as a means to an end and would gladly stop programming if possible.

Wait so how old is she?

well into the post-geriatric era by now

Not really, no.

> Source bias is a real logical fallacy

This is irrelevant because we’re not using the source to judge the strength of an argument. Logical fallacies have only to do with the strength of a logical argument, nothing else.

To illustrate this, if I sell you some energy and you ask whether the energy comes from burning children or from a solar farm, I can’t say that it’s a logical fallacy for you to care because all energy powers your home just the same. You don’t owe any consideration to the content (energy) at all, because energy is not an argument that is subject to the source fallacy, to treat it as such is a fundamental category error.

Even to take your tack and say “We should consider the energy generated from burning children apart from its source, because we don’t want to fall prey to the source fallacy. However, the societal effects should also be taken into consideration…” shouldn’t be countenanced.

Can't the same thing be said about literature and music?

The earnings distribution in those arts are highly concentrated. Not the case for SWE.

what about stock music/corporate event production and writing knowledge bases/advertising? those would be the plumbing equivalents of music and writing imo

No. And if it could, I sure as hell never would have become a programmer.

An excellent epithet for people who depend on AI!

The same attitude has been directed at points through history for people "who depend on the internet," "who depend on computers," and "who depend on machines."

I was told growing up "you won't always have a calculator in your pocket" and yet now my phone has an offline LLM on it.

> I was told growing up "you won't always have a calculator in your pocket" and yet now my phone has an offline LLM on it.

But does your world stop when the phone is out of power? And does every task require a roundtrip to the internet?

Offline models are becoming increasingly more capable - merely a few years ago it would've been unthinkable to run the LLM I have on my phone even on my MacBook Pro.

Are you suggesting that losing electricity in the modern age (entirely absent AI) doesn't upend one's world?

You seem to be saying "we should avoid this thing because we'll become dependent on it," but we're highly dependent on all manners of technology for all sorts of things and would seem to be better for it.

And if you can’t see the difference between those things, you’ll probably never know.

Never said I was bad at math, but I am aware of the fact that computers can do math better and faster than me - and with our powers combined...

lol, they literally said nothing about their math skills

I know you know this, but for those reading, these detectors are bullshit.
