"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” - Trump

Just replace Mexico with America. There must be some Freudian issue going on with Trump here.

Every accusation this administration makes is a confession.

If only I knew enough finance about making a lot of money from the impending collapse of this AI stupidity and the stupidity of AI grifters. I would put real money on it if anybody has suggestions.

People who are normally perceived as non-boring (like talkative, outgoing, friendly-by-default people) are usually insufferable for me.

People who are initially perceived as boring (like quiet, introspective, focused people) are more fascinating if you can get through to them. Unfortunately, I have no such skills...

If you vibe coded any software, by definition, it means you have no skills and no taste.

>> "Either we hire good CS people who have the basic understanding of EE, and we train them to become good engineers, or we hire good engineers who are good in CS, and we try to upskill them on the CS side."

The former (CS -> EE) is very unlikely to happen at a large scale than the latter (EE -> CS). It is much easier to teach EEs to become (albeit, often bad) software engineers, than teaching CS student to be good engineers.

Also, the former (CS -> EE) will not happen in academia because of (1) turf wars, and (2) CS faculty not having any understanding, nor interest in electronics/hardware/engineering.

I once proposed to teach an IoT class in the CS department of a major university in US, the proposal basically fell on deaf ears.

Outsourcing their thinking is going to be the stupidest thing humans ever did and we won't even be smart enough to understand that this is the case.

But humans have evolved to socialize thinking, haven't we?

What is representative democracy if not that?

One reason - the main reason? - we live in groups with different roles and skills is to rely on others to think for us.

> But humans have evolved to socialize thinking, haven't we?

An overwhelmingly large number of people keep saying that socialism is bad, individualism is where it's at. I trust they're right.

Thought we learned this lesson with attention span/ADHD-mimicking symptoms from phone addiction but apparently not!

The title should have said "Antropic stole GCC and other open-source compiler code to create a subpar, non-functional compiler", without attribution or compensation. Open source was never meant for thieving megacorps like them.

No, I did not read the article...

I am on the same boat. I left management to go back to a senior IC role in my early 50s. I am perceived as an important contributor in my company, but I am 90% sure that no big company would ever hire me. I am also pretty sure I cannot pass LeetCode these days even though I work on implementing scientific algorithms that actually get used by major engineering/manufacturing companies around the world.

I feel like a perfect realization Goodhart's Law is about to happen to move up our rankings.

I asked my students in a take home lab to write tests for a function that computes the Collatz sequence. Half of the class returned AI generated tests that tested the algorithm with floating point and negative numbers (for "correct" results, and not for input validation). I am not doing anything take home anymore.
