New comment by he0001 in "Programming Isn't Special"

Before AI, some programming could be considered be considered art. There are definitely codebases that are more beautiful than others. But now with introduction of AI you can’t consider any code as art as you have no idea who produced it. Yes, it may be looking good, but from that perspective it’s just randomly produced without the thought of being art. And at some point it will be refactored into oblivion by something that doesn’t care.

How do you do that? And which companies does not have these today?

he0001 — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 21:52:51 +0000

If you can’t fit into the same abstraction, is it really a “duplication” or is it just a slightly, but incomparable, function?

It’s generally a evaluation of risk and reward. Guess they are counting on US being busy elsewhere. What I hear, the chain of command is in disarray.

Isn’t this a thing for all providers? YouTube definitely spies on what you look at and Netflix knows as well. Or is this just because a TV actually doesn’t provide the content, just the view? And is there’s a difference if you have a streaming device like Roku?

Gödel wrote his teorem to test David Hilbert’s endeavor, Logic and the Foundation of Mathematics[0], to unify mathematics. Gödel proved that it is impossible to do.

But you may have a different version of history.

It argues of “impossibilities” and also proves it.

Wouldn’t it be possible that not all brains can do it all, but some can specialize in certain problems. But when combined with everyone else’s we can approach general intelligence?

Einstein’s relativity theory is a model that is quite fundamental, are there wrong parts of it as well? Asking not as challenge, more out of interest.

What’s stopping you from using a single thread for synchronization?

What do you mean? It implements the Future/Task interface and you can definitely use that. In fact you can’t tell the difference from a virtual thread vs a platform one, and it’s available everywhere. I for one thinks it’s much easier to use than the async/await pattern as I don’t need any special syntax to use it.
