Spreadsheets are powerful, but often abused. They are great for economics but horrible for logic.
Most medium to large complex spreadsheets are better implemented in a high level programming language.
Spreadsheets seem useful for people that are scared of programming syntax but quickly become so much less maintainable and janky that I believe its almost always easier to just start with learning to program already.
Don't worry the kid mode is coming on all devices, one thing you wouldn't want kids doing is sideloading applications after all.
I think this is the wrong approach, an example is youtube kids. There seems to be a abundance of inappropriate content for kids on there. These companies don't actually care about you or your kids they care about profit.
Only (hopefully most) parents care about their kids. They have the power to push a solution as a collective so the solution should empower them to choose and not not take power away from them and others (for example adults without kids). The age verification mandated on a government level constitutes to limiting access to content, and in my eyes that is censorship.
Bold of you to assume that legislators know how any kind of implementation works. They just propose general rules like "kids underage can not access this content" and the technical implementation doesn't matter to them.
I think this is the reasons we should vote more technical competent people into politics.
Open source library development has to follow very tight sets of style adherence because of its extremely distributed nature, and the degree to which feature development is as much the design of new standards as it is writing working code. I would imagine that it is perhaps the kind of programming least well suited to AI assistance.
AI speeds me up a tremendous amount in my day job as a product engineer.
> AI speeds me up a tremendous amount in my day job as a product engineer.
Sure, there are specialized and non-specialized models.
I was asking if you've measured your "tremendous speed-up" using AI or you just feel like it is a "tremendous speed-up". As the research indicates you may feel like you are sped up 20% while you are actually 20% slower. I'm not saying that you don't actually have a speed-up from AI.
In general using natural language to feed into AI to generate code to compile to runnable software seems like the long way around to designing a more usable programming language.
It seems that most people preferring natural language over programming languages don't want to learn the required programming language and ending up reinventing their own worse one.
There is a reason why we invented programming languages as an interface to instruct the machine and there is a reason why we don't use natural language.
> Dark age was dark. Human rights, female! rights, hunger, thirst, no progress at all, hard lifes.
There was progress in the Middle Ages, hence the difference between the early and late Middle Ages. Most information was mouth to mouth instead of written down.
"The term employs traditional light-versus-darkness imagery to contrast the era's supposed darkness (ignorance and error) with earlier and later periods of light (knowledge and understanding)."
"Others, however, have used the term to denote the relative scarcity of written records regarding at least the early part of the Middle Ages"
> Why are OpenBSD people always so rude and defensive? Sheesh
Because there is a limited amount of maintainers and a clearly stated goal/direction. There are also a lot of people requesting features that don't actually contribute to the goal or don't even use OpenBSD. It is a way to manage resources.
There is also the sentiment "if you need it you implement and maintain it" hence if someone is requesting without any investment it doesn't seem like they are serious.
So to me it seems notifications of bugs is good, you want to create visibility of problems.
The problem is the pressure to fix the bugs in x amount of time otherwise they will be made public. Additionally flooding the team with so many bugs that they can never keep up.
Perhaps the solution is not in do or don't submit but in the way how the patches are submitted. I think a solution would be to have a separate channel for these big companies to submit "flood" bug reports generated by AI, and if those reports won't be disclosed in x amount of time that would also take the pressure of the maintainers, the maintainers can set priories to most pressing issues and keep the backlog of smaller issues that may require attention in the future (or be picked up by small/new contributors).
> It seems to always come back to the fact that people who get power always attempt to use that power to get more resources and power, violating all their supposed values and stealing resources from the public.
Seems no different in capitalism.
Ever considered that the failures of other methods does not inherently mean the success of the current method.
Nobody said it did, but the other methods fail much harder. A fuckton more people died of starvation under Lenin, Stalin and Mao than will ever die of starvation in even the most right-wing capitalist country, because communist and extreme authoritarian socialist countries have all the same moral failings of their leaders as capitalism has, but also ruins their economies as well.

Especially excel is 100% jank.
