Edit: oh wait, that’s not a vowel

It’s honestly hard to say. It’s very impressive what AI coding can do, especially in the past year, but all AI companies are not making a profit. They’re effectively subsidized by investors. They’re focused on growth. At some point they’re gonna need to make a profit, they cannot continually operate at a loss and focus on growth. In fact, when Microsoft started charging properly it was such a massive deal that they called it the tokenpocalypse.

Honestly, I hate to say it, and I’m not trying to be a tech bro, but I think AI is here to say. What exactly it looks like long term, it’s hard to say. I can say this though, knowing how to program will make you a better vibe coded (I feel dirty saying that seriously). So even if AI becomes the norm, you’ll be better positioned if you know what you’re doing.

When things turn though, it’s impossible to say. It could be in the next year, could be like five years out. It could be that when you’re done with your four year degree, they’re still out here doing this “AI is gonna fix everything and we don’t need junior devs” song and dance.

TL;DR: AI is not profitable now so will get more expensive meaning they’ll have to use it less. Either way, knowing how to program without AI will make you better at programming with AI.

No SecureBoot or TPM

Lovense already does this to an extent. It’s not like it mocaps lol but some semblance of interactive, physical sex over the Internet is possible today.

Barring environmental concerns, no, I don’t think so.

How about the opposite form of nostalgia?

Get a physical.

Okay, I see you, I think I may have misunderstood how you were phrasing it. Thinking you were saying they were scanning all of GitHub because it’s all permissive.

You can host copyleft as well as all rights reserved code on GitHub. It’s not like Codeberg.

Huh?

Doofus.

Oh damn, all those math credits I needed to graduate were for nothing?

Oh shit, today I learned that software can’t be a complex system. That makes our jobs easier. I’ll be sure to tell IEEE.

gradeschool algebra

We don’t get computer science degrees from gradeschool, goober.

So engineering is not what you said you believe it is, you actually believe it’s what you said it is except software engineers because you’re a condescending gatekeeper. Software engineering is different from programming.

Yes. But software engineers are engineers. Not all programmers are software engineers.

So you believe that

1. Engineering is the application of math and science to plan complex systems and structures
2. Computer science teaches math and science to plan complex systems and structures

But you believe that computer science prepares students for “programming”, not engineering, so they aren’t engineers. Despite it being about the application of math and science to design complex systems and structures (engineering) and despite the fact that everyone else calls this profession software engineering and you call it programming. And you don’t think you have a bias?

Programmers and Software Engineers are different things, tho

62% humidity outside right now, 99° F “real feel”, 92° F “real feel shade”. 88° F actual temp.

I think what folks from not humid places don’t realize is how hot the shade is. Shade is always better than sun, obviously, but it sort of only takes the feeling of the sun against your skin. The air is still hot. I’d compare it to a sauna sort of. Like it’s still stuffy.

The first time my wife went to somewhere that actually has dry heat she said it was amazing. She was actually cold in the shade. Not just cool. That concept is so foreign to me.

Field sobriety tests are always voluntary

It may not always be so simple. In my state (Georgia) there is “implied consent” (yes, disgusting term) to breathalyzers and refusing one gets your license suspended for a year. This is after arrest actually, so it might be different.
