I dunno, it’s already pretty good at writing code and only going to get better. I agree with your conclusion though, mainly because as a software engineer writing code is actually not even the most complicated part of the job. If an AI could write perfect code every time it’d make my job a lot easier but I’d still have to do a significant amount of work such as:

• Figuring out which code to write in the first place! Work discovery if I’m senior enough or clarifying requirements.
• Co-ordination with other teams. Depending on the exact work this becomes more or less important
• Managing the lifecycle of a change including testing, deployment, monitoring and triaging issues.
• Ongoing maintenance. Staying on top of upcoming changes in adjacent or foundational teams, making sure our stuff will keep in working.
• Architecture design. You mentioned this in your post, understanding interactions with adjacent systems and how to organise our own systems to meet current and (reasonable) future requirements.
• Conducting non project work such as interviews, involvement in working groups to help decide overall technical direction of my group, upskilling myself and those around me.

That’s just off the top of my head, I’m sure I’ve missed some things. As much as I love writing code I honestly feel like if an AI could do that part it’d just take stress out of my day and give me more time to focus on those other parts of the job. Of course in reality more work would probably just be piled on but that’s just life I guess.

One might even say it’s an ExtremelyDrawnOutMethodNamesFactoryImpl

Almost certainly

The great thing about schema-less databases is you can put any old thing in there. The bad thing is at some point you have to get it back out again.

They should make another game while they’re at it. Escape From Butcher Bay was heaps of fun back in the day.

Or just !! for the last command. Particularly helpful if you forgot to prefix it with sudo you can run sudo !!

I’ve been using Atuin on my work computer and found it to be pretty good if you want something a bit fancier than Ctrl + R

There is a lot of good stuff there but it’s still opaque when it comes to bias specifically. I mean, am I missing somether here? I genuinely feel like there must be a whole section I’ve missed or something based on some of the other commenters. The bias methodology is no more a methodology than “grind up some wheat, mix some water and yeast before chucking it in the oven for a bit” is a recipe for bread. You rate 4 categories from 0 - 10 and average it, but the ratings themselves are totally subjective.

Story Choices: Does the source report news from both sides, or do they only publish one side.

What does this even mean? If a site runs stories covering the IPCC recommendations for climate action but doesn’t run some right wing conspiracy version of how climate change is a hoax, is that biased story selection?

What did I miss here?

Good summary. I think the first point is the most concerning because it’s actively spreading misinformation and giving the appearance of credibility.

Seems like it’d be a lot easier to do that the other way around. Then again there are probably a lot of forms to fill out

Yes it’s fucking terrifying. Good luck to you all.

If it was just Trump that would already be bad enough.

Some incredible titles here, friend. Respect! I really need to play Knights of the Old Republic again.

Welcome back, commander.

It’s too late, we can’t contain it

Indeed. I own a Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild but Nintendo says I’m not allowed to play it on my Steam Deck. I guess that’s the last time I buy something from them. Their games really are amazing though so it’s a shame.

Good question, I didn’t even consider that I just used the same language that was in the title without thinking.

There could be an advantage for groups that had males do the riskier jobs because the cost of losing a male is much less than a female in terms of maintaining population.

This is pure speculation on my part though, I have no education here and no idea what I’m talking about.
