Language choice for a solution does not have anything to do with LLM capabilities. For someone’s hobby project, maybe. Engineering departments do not work this way. Just because LLMs can write Java better than some other languages doesn’t mean the next big game engine will be in Java.
The LLM works via language. It’s…in the name. If a programming language that is more understandeable for a particular domain comes out, then LLMs will be useful for it just like humans will further appreciate it. Some languages just seriously blow for certain domains. Keep iterating. If a lnaguage is hard for people to use, it’s especially hard for an LLM to use.
Better to hoard data than refrigerators and car parts in your yard

I had similar frustrations with contemporary science in other fields too recently, for slightly different reasons.
In my case, I was frustrated with all of the studies related to life on Mars where no matter what data scientists crunch, rocks they look at, and gases they sample, the only indisputably meaningful study with a conclusive outcome about whether Mars contains life will be one looking at microbes with a microscope on a rover. Any other study will only amount to weasel words that decisively conclude nothing other than that they collected data points, and the data points look like “this” that “maybe mean something, but more studies are required”.
I could interview college students about their favorite ice cream flavor, come up with fun statistics, and conjecture about why the data looks the way it does. And at the end of the day, I would have no conclusion beyond exactly what my study’s data is. But the point of science is to advance useful knowledge. Knowledge is what allows us to predict the future, to make informed choices, to avoid guesswork. Raw data is not knowledge.
Let me repeat this again: DATA IS NOT KNOWLEDGE.

You’re magnitudes more likely to lose an arm operating a lathe or cutting wood professionally than pushing paper in a camo outfit, which is what over half of US military personnel actually do all day.
This shows that the way to get rid of landmines is not to have countries sign a piece of paper. It’s to give them a better alternative, whether it’s literally peace, or another dirt-cheap area denial defensive weapon that isn’t indiscriminate. Because the paper is worthless once real stakes are on the line.
I think autonomous drones will eventually supplant landmines. Whether that’s better or worse, I don’t know.

Sorry I’m not into bracelets
They’re…asking a country about this? What, do they expect China to say “we’re preparing to invade Taiwan in 2026”? This is just fishing for bullshit answers so politicians can pretend like they buy it and ignore actually dealing with the military buildup by taking action.
gotta blast
I’ve gone through Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Vim, Atom, Sublime, VSCode, probably others too, but frankly VSCode’s simplicity out of the box coupled with great plugin support is hard to beat. Folks who complain about VSCode not having some feature like to ignore that being relatively simple by default is a good thing. You can always add or enable what extensions you need to tailor it to your language and workflow of choice. Even if you’re used to Vim keyboard centric editing…guess what? There’s a well supported OSS extension to give you that functionality.
The power of being able to use one IDE on a diverse team across various languages is huge. You can even commit extension and settings defaults to a repo to immediately get new cloners up to speed with whatever workflow and tooling defaults are good starting points on a per project basis, but still leaving them the option to ignore/override as needed without dictating a team-wide workflow change.
Correction: the board voted to hand the CEO that much worth of shares
China is preparing for real war against Taiwan, hoping that restricting these minerals will prevent Taiwan backers from replenishing their militaries in a war of attrition within a meaningful timeftame after invasion.
You think these people read paper mail?
