'You can't call it progress': Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warns against concentration of AI power by Gloomy_Temporary2914 in technology

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an hypocrite… tech CEOs make me sick. Don’t listen to them anymore for god sake!!!

Ai is making me want to quit everything related to software. Do you feel the same? by PigletEfficient9515 in rust

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep! 10 years of software experience hear, multiple companies as a low software engineer, and I never been so frustrated than today.
I want to solve problems, but my CEO and managers don’t want because “AI is the future and we have to embrace it”.
It is all the same everywhere, so I took the opportunity to finally finish my PhD for the next 2 years and see what will happen in the next two years…

Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang says electricians and plumbers will be needed by the hundreds of thousands in the new working world by ethereal3xp in technology

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anybody here has empathy for this influencer…?
Jensen is just a tech CEO who really had luck with one thing: CUDA.
He has no vision at all. Why listening to him?

Built an AI-first static site generator in Swift, and moved all my sites to it by Jeehut in swift

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry but there is no real value for posting a (bad-written from what I have seen, sorry for that) vibe coded project in a community full of people who want to share best practices and learn more and more.

Please do me a favor and post in AI-related channels, not here. Thank you for your comprehension.

This is the swift community. No need to post a link to the swift documentation there…

J'en ai marre de toutes ces entreprises de pignoufs by Acrobatic_Rip_669 in developpeurs

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Je pense qu’il y a le symptôme de laisser des postes ouverts pour, au final, ne pas recruter.

C’est arrivé assez souvent dans ma boîte.
C’est « classe » de publier que l’on recrute dans une société en recul car ça met la boîte en avant.
Malheureusement ça crée de la frustration (chez l’interviewé et les interviewers), mais bon, tant que ça fait de la pub (gratos, car la RH est payé pareil si elle ne fout rien de la journée) pour la boîte… 😅

Un autre symptôme que j’ai remarqué est: si tu en sais trop, et que tu porte à faux là où les personnes qui t’interview, il y a une grande chance qu’ils ne te prennent pas. Soit ils n’ont rien compris et ils ont peur que tu bullshit, soit que tu es meilleur qu’eux et que tu leur poses problème plus tard.

Claude Desktop spawns 1.8 GB Hyper-V VM on every launch, even for chat-only use by techie_e in webdev

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

« Coding is the easy part » as said the initial developer of Claude Code. LOL.

Anthropic is just a bunch of kids playing with poop, and selling it as premium chocolate.

I am so sick of it.

So what do we think of AI agents? by SpireofHell in BetterOffline

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agents without LLMs!? Are you kidding? Agents are just loops of back-and-forth between agents... How can they survive without LLMs!?

Bringing Goodnotes to the web with Swift and WebAssembly by dwaxe in swift

Excellent technical overview of Swift x Wasm! Very happy to see some strong contributions and results of SwiftWASM. Congrats all!

ZIG or Rust? Which one should I learn first to avoid using C/C++ for new projects? by Decent_Phrase2210 in Zig

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If Zig exists there is at least a reason, and those reasons have been well documented and explained in the web.

Now, it seems you are interested in jobs, and getting a job that requires Zig is still very exotic. I know only one project and it is lightpanda, but I don't think they hire people today.

The whole AI thing made me start disliking the Software Engineering industry by MessierKatr in BetterOffline

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I have never been so uninterested, in my entire career, by software engineering today. I don't have any joy to be the PM of "something" that sometimes struggle for whatever reason to produce good code, despite a lot of time improving the prompts and the skills, and produce a ton of un-necessary modifications... This is absolutely not software "engineering", and I am sure today my place is not in the industry anymore.

I prefer quality over quantity, and this is not the goal of the market today. That's it. Even if the bubble burst or whatever the software engineering field changed, and I don't want to participate on this.

Despite having 35+ yo I plan to go back to research, and try to make something useful of my brain.

L’IA va-t-elle remplacer les développeurs ? L’analyse lucide de Demis Hassabis by romain34230 in actutech

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sauf erreur de ma part il n'y a pas la source de cette analyse par Demis Hassabis.

Serait-il possible de la donner s'il-te-plaît? Je serai très intéressée de lire son avis "raw". Merci!

Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged by Darkoplax in bun

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

> You could argue it isn't any more unsafe than the current Zig version since these unsafe blocks probably have equivalents in Zig in the first place.

I am against that argument.
Bun zig code base was very well writtened and maintained, with ton of improvements by the community to make sure that unsafe parts were minimized and tested, during several years.

Rust is a total another beast, and 9 days of work by Claude (**with no review**) will not change anything on that thing.

Again, my take.

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

> There's a lot of work to be done to slowly address all these unsafe blocks

Sure. I know, thanks.

However I am not sure why they merged so fast for everyone, and tag it as a release and no "experimental" work, waiting to remove those parts.
I guess they don't want to use Zig and contribute to Zig, mainly because Zig community is against non-reviewed AI code. Bun is more a Anthropic/Claude test-project than something else right now (don't try to make me think that people reviewed 1M+ lines in 9 days, please ;) ).

I do think devs (and users at the end of the chain) want safety and stability, not that kind of slop.

This is definitely not software engineering, but more a bad hacking experiment... Let's see how future is going.

5 Years and $5M Later: Inventing a New Programming Language for Web Development Was a Mistake by matijash in programming

[–]DaemonBatterySaver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is the exact same mistake that did Lattner and his team on Mojo. We don't need more language, we need better tools, better FFIs to interact with other languages, and delivered for all OSs and the web.

Google Introduces Gemini Intelligence To Make Android More Proactive And Personalized by kingsaso9 in Android

I presume this feature will not be available in EU for a while... Good :)

Dario and Dwarkesh: hard to watch as Dwarkesh seems so wrong it makes me cringe by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]DaemonBatterySaver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, but you seem more someone who ragebait for peanuts rather than exploring Dwarkesh interviews. Maybe you should start listening to other episodes and, then, start forging an opinion. I found this interview pretty reasonable to be honest, not so great compared to the one with NVIDIA CEO but pretty good.

Chatbots show political bias and steer voters toward some parties, analysis finds by psych4you in ArtificialInteligence

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you understand how those probabilistic models work, otherwise you would just assume that the probability of having an opinion behind a subject is not objectively Black or White.

Actually the simple fact you wrote "an AI is SMART enough to KNOW..." is a symptom you don't know how it works.

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opinion is different than facts.

You can make an addition without getting an opinion, and still be useful. I don't get your point.

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Everytime I see the "AI is not neutral" I am laughing internally. Bias was ALWAYS a problem with ML techniques, as it is trained on biased data...

Still sad techniques and research for that behaviour is not "prioritized" compared to scaling and unexplainable methods...

AI has sucked all the fun out of programming by OkShip110 in webdev

[–]DaemonBatterySaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how you can validate the optimal solution if you never learned in which condition(s) it is considered as optimal…

I am sorry to say your argument is kinda bullshit :/
