I must've been a lucky one. I develop software since 80s. Went from directly entering machine codes and up to enterprise middleware, backends and various device control and multimedia game like systems. In all my life I've only had a single case of deadlock. But it cost me more than 24 hours no sleep marathon trying to nail it down. It was related to communication between my custom Directshow filters and threads in a main software.

Russia has been modifying Shahed drones for quite a while. May be they've shared back or Iran got creative on their own

Sounds exactly like the US with the exception that they prefer to kill other people, not their own.

On one particular project I started by "spamming" relevant interest based forums. Luckily I was a member of said forums for quite a while before I have released my first version. It was about 13 years ago. Strategy had worked and then I got CEO as a partner along with some investment so I no longer had to do it

>"Sam Altman may control our future"

TLDR but just the heading is already ugly. No single person no matter how nice they're should be able to control our future. Power corrupts, what fucking trust. We are supposed to be democratic society (well looking at what is going on around this is becoming laughable)

Fuck you.

I do not have anything resembling problems described. Before I ask AI to create new code (except super trivial things). I first split application into smaller functional modules. I then design structure of the code down to main classes and methods and their interaction. Also try to keep scope small. Then AI just fills out the actual code. I have no problems reviewing it. Sometimes I discover some issues - like using arrays instead of maps leading to performance issues but it is easily spotted.

This sounds like a wise parent explaining some higher truth to a kid. Except that it is not truth but some our of blue baseless conclusion you've managed to somehow extract from my sentence.

I have shared mutable state which is available through the whole application lifetime. Having ARC in this situation makes no sense, single mutex should be all I need.

Collectivism has many problems as well including that some are "more equal" and amass the same disproportional wealth (maybe under the cover and not placated but it is still there).

I said "independent to the degree possible", not absolutely.

I do not live in a binary world. I accept things in between.

Being part of group should be voluntary, not forced

What I definitely do not want is my life to be dictated by a few imbeciles at the top who are bought by large corps to pretend to be "by the people for the people".

Same as sanctions. There are many places where they can not tell governments what to do, so they suffocate general population

Why is it said? Being independent to the degree possible is the best state for human being I think.

Depends on what type of non-disclosure. Disclosing technical guarded and not publicly known technical know-how - I am ok with those. Disclosing that boss treats people like trash should be allowed and I think lawmakers should have enough intelligence in their brains to make laws accordingly.
