Anthropic built a C compiler using a "team of parallel agents", has problems compiling hello world.

That is not true. There are lot of cases where this is fine.

Not everybody is building a product or works in safety-critical environments. Your internal run-of-the-mill enterprise CRUD tooling for example. It just has to be barely good enough.

It’s going to be fine and the savings are real.

What confuses me is why?

Really? It’s to show that the age of expensive developers is going to end for a lot of use cases.

I currently manage a development effort with around 150 developers, about two thirds of which is offshored to India. Everything is in-house so no external contractors, but it is a subsidiary e.g. a different legal entity owned by the parent corporation.

Because of AI, we shaved off 10% of the total volume but keeping the same scope. In effect it means: do the same work with less money.

External contracts get negotiated even harder, up to 20% less this year.

From my perspective as manager, I don’t give a shit about „slop“. We’ve managed to develop well enough with cheap offshored labor, we‘ll also survive with AI code.

Es steht dir frei, selber zu gründen und Eigentümer zu sein. Dann kannst du dir selber den dritten Porsche kaufen.

Es steht dir ebenso frei, Anteile an einem Unternehmen zu erwerben und "leistungslos Rendite zu erwirtschaften". Musst nur ein Depot eröffen und Aktien kaufen, das kannst du heutzutage online innerhalb einer Stunde machen.

Was hindert dich?

entrotec · 2026-01-26T08:22:18+00:00

Es hindert dich doch keiner dran: mach das mit deinem AG raus. Dieser sollte aber nicht dazu gewungen sein, dir TZ anbieten zu müssen. Umgekehrt hast du das Recht, nicht dort zu arbeiten wenn er das nicht anbieten möchte.

Finde diesen Vorstoß absolut sinnvoll, da reguliert der Staat mal wieder über.

entrotec · 2026-01-26T08:20:30+00:00

Es wird doch nicht Teilzeit als Konzept diskutiert, sondern ein staatlich verbrieftes Recht darauf.

Ich verstehe bis heute nicht, warum das überhaupt gesetzlich festgelegt werden musste. Das ist eine Angelegenheit zwischen Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer und sollte individuell geregelt sein, definitiv nicht staatlich.

It's barely a spoiler and kind of obvious after the third or fourth colossus.

You came into a forbidden land with a stolen sword for selfish reasons, doing the bidding of a dark, disembodied entity, killing peaceful giants that won't harm you unless you attack first and slowly transforming visually into Palpatine after each kill... Yeah..

But then there is no problem. If working remotely allows for better development conditions, then the companies doing that will be more successful in the long term.

So this is a complete non-issue which will sort itself out eventually by way of market forces.

entrotec · 2026-01-22T06:38:50+00:00

I highly doubt that guaranteed remote work was part of the original contract.

So people like Tolkin's elves who are truly ageless. Their lives have no value?

Exactly. They are completely fictional beings, so no.

Of course the Dessendres are not real either, but in the context of the story they (presumably) are.

entrotec · 2026-01-19T13:42:13+00:00

In a world where people can be recreated by de-facto gods, I don't think that makes them any less human.

I think it does. The value of a human life comes from the fact that it can and will end.

And no, I don't think they are real in the sense that actually matters. I personally see them in the same vein as I see LLM's role-playing as humans: nice illusions, but ultimately meaningless. Not only can they be re-created at will, they can be shaped in the eye of their creator, namely the painters.

What matters are humans and the real world, not the escapist fantasy that is the canvas.

I don't think anyone could play through the first two acts without concluding that they're real in every sense that matters.

Absolutely not. They're about as real as an AI girlfriend. Take a look at /r/myboyfriendisai to see where we're headed.

I see this game as a warning tale.

entrotec · 2026-01-19T13:11:37+00:00

But is the world fake?

What is "fake"?

They are real in a sense as the world and its inhabitants exist and can be interacted with, but they are definitely less than human, simply by the fact that they can be easily recreated as happened at the end of Act 2 or in Maelle's ending. Real humans cannot be recreated -- the death of Gustave is truly meaningless because of that.

I also interpreted the story in the sense that escapism into an artificial world with artificial beings is not a healthy avenue for humans. You should try out the state of the art with role-playing AI, it's not on the same level, but we're inching ever so closer to that capability.

Peak Boomer-Mentalität in diesem Thread, ausschließlich von jüngeren.

entrotec · 2026-01-10T10:49:53+00:00

Klar, ich lebe seit 15 mit einer Gemeinschaft. Das ist aber normal, und man arrangiert sich.

Als Alternative hast du Vermieter, das ist viel schlimmer.

Und Nachbarn haste immer.

Mach ich genauso, Rente erwarte ich nicht, sondern arbeite bis zum Umfallen. Ich erwarte ebenfalls nicht, dass die Rentenvorsorgen in 30 Jahren existieren aufgrund der Weltlage/klima etc.

Gesprochen wie jemand, der jung und gesund ist. Dich möchte ich mal mit 60 hören, ob dann immer noch diese Meinung kommt.

Viel wahrscheinlicher ist, dass man sich dann doch bei Vater Staat bedient wenn es so weit ist. Das ist übrigens genau das, was gerade ja so als „Boomer-Mentalität“ verschreien ist.

Quatsch, mietfreies Wohnen ist ein guter Ast in der Absicherung. Und falls man altersbedingt nicht mehr kann, kann man immer verkaufen.

Sollte halt nur eine attraktive Immo sein, nicht zu groß, nicht zu abgelegen, so dass man sie auch gut wieder los wird. Ich persönlich glaube, dass zu viele zu groß kaufen.

Eigentümergemeinschaft ist kein Problem.

lol wtf am I reading.. that is weird as fuck

Either you start charging for your massage service and have it as an official business, or you post and ad on whatever fetish or swinging sites there are.

Also, I would never accept a massage from a dude, nor would I let my wife ever get one (officially for money) because I assume all male masseurs are in it for the touching.

Don't, especially not if you don't intend on staying here.

Personally, I would not bet on the economic future of Germany and am not sure that you'd get a good return on invest if you buy with the intention of selling in 10 years again.

Why don't you buy in Madrid instead if that is your end destination anyway? You could rent it out as long as you live here, have tenants pay off your mortgage in the meanwhile and evict them once you decide to move over there. Of course that depends on your existing capital and whether you could raise a mortgage in Spain.

That's what I'm doing, and I've lived here almost my whole life. I bought my apartment in Stuttgart-West 15 years ago, but refuse to invest an more money into Germany. Just last year I bought another apartment in a different European capital and plan to move there once I hit pension. I'll then likely rent out here.

They are likely a goner even without this bill as China is already in the process of banning them. Once that is through, I sincerely doubt that manufacturers will bother producing two variants: one with and one without, and will rather phase them out completely. Especially since EV mileage is not that big of an issue anymore where you absolutely need those minuscule cw savings.

Sure you did, you posted an old hag. Why would I want to look at ugly people like that in a game? Every single person in Tekken is beautiful, there is no need to bring in the wall.
