That being said - feature I LOVE added recently-ish that made really happy I’ve upgraded my many years old garmin was a flashlight (proper one, not screen brightness). It seemed like a gimmick but it’s now one of most used features on my watch - walking dog at night, looking for kids toys under the bed, fixing things around the house, looking for things in the bag, etc.

And yes, I do legalese details of that are much more complex. But it just makes no common sense.

It's nearly impossible to bankrupt huge country like Russia. Unless there's civil unrest (or west grows balls to throw enough of resources to move the needle), they can continue the war for decades.

What Russia is doing is each week borrowing more and more from the future and screwing up next generations on a huge scale by destroying it's non-military industrial base, isolating economy from the world and killing hundreds of thousands of young man who could've spent decades contributing to the economy/demographics.

Where they suck is high level problems like - is the code actually solving the business problem? Is it using right dependencies? Does it fit into broader design?

Which is expected for me and great help. I'm more happy as a human to spend less time checking if you're managing lifecycle of the pointer correctly and focus on ensuring that code is there to do what it needs to do.

That’s the thing about any automations that are just aides. Humans are extremely bad at monitoring machines, and if aide system is good enough that trick you into thinking it’s actually stand alone and in control, you get complacent very fast, stop pay attention as you convince yourself that automation got it.

So bad level 2 driver assists are so bad, that no one will get complacent, as they give you only very minor help. Really good ones (like comma) can trick you into thinking that they can do much more than they’re designed to do.

And it's problem specific to software engineering. Any engineering deals with it - when you manufacture physical things, for example, tolerances, safety factors, etc, are all tools to deal with reality being messy.

Sora fading may just reinforce that companies need to continue to focus on sneaking in AI slop manifesting as content to drive adoption.

> Many times there are certain chunks which will occur many times in the code of a program. Instead of taking the time to translate them all separately, QEMU stores the chunks and their native translation, next time simply executing the native translation instead of doing translation a second time. Thus, Bellard invented the first processor emulator that could achieve near native performance in certain instances.

JIT is about as old as Fabrice, or even older depending on what you consider a modern JIT.

Most of flights today are glorified busses, with less room, that just happen to have wings attached and staff trying to sell you things.
