<p>The last stagecoach traveled over the Gotthardpass in the Swiss Alps in 1881, steered by Alois Zgraggen. There's a song about him that ends with:<p>Now I no longer travel southward,<p>and I pray to God: My Lord, grant me rest soon,<p>I’m no good for anything here anymore,<p>so if you would be merciful to me, let me soon pass through Heaven’s gate.<p>I’m no good for anything here anymore, so if you would be merciful to me,<p>let me soon pass through Heaven’s gate.<p>Then, when you call,<p>O God, I’ll sing merrily atop the wagon seat:<p>“Giddy-up, my Liesel, gently now, at an easy pace!”</p>

<p>You're both correct. It's too late to stop dire effects like wars and global mass migration, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything. It means we should start doing <i>everything</i> we can right now to prevent it from getting even worse.</p>

<p>A major difference is that COVID-19 can spread during the incubation period, while Ebola transmission typically only occurs after symptoms appear. This makes Ebola a much less likely candidate for a pandemic.<p>Ebola also has a lower mutation rate than COVID-19, so it is unlikely to change into a more pandemic-prone strain.</p>

<p><i>"If vibecoding is what people say it is, the world should be drowning in vibecoded artifacts right now"</i><p>It is. Look at GitHub repos. Look at the r/selfhosting subreddit. Look at the r/macapps subreddit.<p>That doesn't mean people are "vibecoding Photoshop." Maybe LLMs will eventually be good enough that you can make a Photoshop without ever looking at any of the code, but they aren't right now.<p><i>"And the accusers never want to address that, because addressing it means admitting the accusation doesn't hold up."</i><p>What accusation?<p>This article reads like an LLM wrote it.</p>

<p>That's all true, but that ends badly for us either way. If there's competition, training must continue, which must eventually be reflected in pricing.<p>But if there's no more competition, there's no more incentive to keep prices low, which will also be reflected in pricing.</p>

<p><i>> It's done by one specific career bureaucrat or group</i><p>Almost all governments have a legally defined public procurement framework. If this is overridden, it's pretty much always by elected politicians, not by regular government employees.</p>

<p><i>> "Company tries to roll its own system and [saves / loses] money" is just a common story, one way or the other.</i><p>Governments build these kinds of systems ("collect data from a bunch of internal systems and show some public forms and have some internal processes for handling form submissions") all the time. When I worked for a local municipality, we built something like this every other month.</p>

<p>Yeah, this exactly. "multiple government systems", "tens of thousands", "hundreds of thousands" is the typical "part-time allocation for four people in an office" government project. This should have a budget in the low hundreds of thousands of £ at most.</p>

<p>Yeah, Claude is very creative in finding ways of "solving" problems that go against what the user probably intended.<p>Having said that, after looking at some of the test changes, they seem to be minor things, like changing timeouts, not changing the actual intended semantics of the tests. But it's too much code to review everything, so I might be completely wrong about that, and in real-world usage, even minor changes like these will cause issues.</p>
