  • I did watch it. It was not great but, I’m still left with the impression that people set really unrealistic expectations for an 81 year old with a history of speech impediment. Those things come back in novel ways as we get older. IMO, the whole thing borders on elder abuse but, that’s where we’re at. Just disappointing to see the “left-wing” (corpo) media immediately on the attack - they seem to be trying to carry more water due Trump.

    Also, I am not sure if the shell-shocked look of the talking head before she started speaking was from the debate or the words on the teleprompter.





  • So what it’s really like is only having to do half the work?

    If it’s automating the interesting problem solving side of things and leaving just debugging code that one isn’t familiar with, I really don’t see value to humanity in such use cases. That’s really just making debugging more time consuming and removing the majority of fulfilling work in development (in ways that are likely harder to maintain and may be subject to future legal action for license violations). Better to let it do things that it actually does well and keep engaged programmers.








  • To clarify why you’re getting downvoted:

    ADHD is among the most studied of psychological disorders. It is caused by physiological differences in the prefrontal cortex. You come across as ableist, dismissing this very real and frequently debilitating psychological disorder that people are born with. Like telling someone with recurrent major depressive disorder to “just cheer up” or someone with a compound fracture to “walk it off”.

    Would you tell someone with a black mamba bite that was begging for antivenin that they sounded like an addict due to their desire for medicine to treat their medical condition?
