Trivializing code has reached an insufferable nadir. It is like saying math or medicine is the easy part, or cooking or carpentry. Often those who say it cannot code or read code, and are good at marketing, so they simply keep on promoting it and be dismissive of other work. Disillusioned to see it at the top of HN, and hand waving away methodical and substantial activities can only bode badly.

It's akin to saying "swinging a hammer is the easy part of creating a building". Or "inserting a needle into a vein is the easy part of medicine".

Both are somewhat true, and yet, I'll still be quite happy if we have AI that can do them.

I'm certainly not trying to trivialize the progress that LLMs are making. I'm trying to be realistic, noting both the strengths and weaknesses of LLMs, and what that means for the fields they touch.

Does it protect sensitive info like user intellectual property, financial info etc?

Of course - it's stored 100% safely and securely in plain text on Microsoft servers!

To be able to tell if the data is IP, financial etc, so that they can protect it, they have to use AI. See, how that works?

Let me go laughing for a while!

I have a Roomba 980 that I scored off a rich neighbor for $50. It cleans well, makes nice parallel lines on the floor and reliably does not get stuck. I can be out of the house, push the button for it to clean, and will always come back to a clean floor and a charging Roomba. Can't imagine wanting much more.

I've retired mine in favor of a Switchbot. Battery was tired and the cost of a new one is 1/3 the price of a new one so I got this K10.

At first I've liked it but the bruise rotor is already making rattling noises. It advertised itself as Matter compatible but I had to buy a hub thing to integrate it in HomeKit.

Worst thing it relies on Chinese servers for its metrics. I got China blocked on my router due to reasons so I can't check the status of the parts without leaving my wifi. I already bought a box of 1 year replacement parts for this but I'm getting rid of it as soon as I can.

The 980 was top of the line, and it was also quite expensive when it was new. No wonder it still works quite well (and being so old, it still supports stuff like maps and voice control).

I think they're just as smart as they need to be, and no smarter :)

What mechanism are you envisioning here?

iRobots were intended to clean up slop, not create more of it.

Linux sounds like a super toxic place now.

It's supply chain attack meets the physical world, and now might be replicated.

Your onshore contract handlers were definitely difficult to work with. The number 1 reason for bad work are bad managers. See Boeing.

Dang silly videos took down written journalism. Readers are mourning.

These are all trash questions. Find a way to ask them about deadlines. Deadlines should be estimates defined by the engineer. Estimates mean estimates.

I dumped it for Samsung too.

I would still say no because that's how i am built
