There are definitely real engineers being strongly anti-AI. The problem, in my opinion, is that they just didn't really try working with them.

They're incredibly powerful tools, and they don't only amplify bad developers, they amplify every developer that really tries to work with it.

The mistake people make is delegating the decision making to the AI. Let the tool be a tool, not a brain. You architect, you design, you order, it writes the code. You review the code. There you go, you have a pretty good quality code, better than most devs will produce, following your design and architecture, you controlled the entire decision making, and you did it in 5x less time.

I also think that it has become too useful to disappear in engineering.

They have long stopped caring about that.

Does this systemd change facilitate future verification softwares? Definitely. Will it become a part of systemd? Extremely unlikely. Should systemd rebel and refuse to include anything facilitating these disturbing laws? Eh, probably.

But let's not blow this change out of proportions. This is a way for systemd to not aggressively fight the laws, without enabling them either. This field changes nothing, and you will still be able to use distros that don't even employ the field at all. They might become illegal to use in the land of the free, but that's a separate issue that this change does not impact.

I'm not your search engine. If you don't see it and refuse to search for it, that's your problem. I'm not here to convince anyone.

I'll let you have a look at the difference of opinions between LFI and every other left party. All those differences are issues they refuse to compromise on :)

In general yes. Here the common denominator is that canadians are british and french colonists who never kicked their invaders.

They are the invaders. Just like the US. The difference is they didn't decide to go independent.

When I say "countries remember", I mean the people who take decisions in the name of the country remember. I should have been clearer.

The general population always forgets, yes. That's why the world is once again falling for fascism.

I assure you the countries involved have not forgotten anything. Same will happen here.

I'm not saying everything is lovely and we are at the peak of civilization. I'm saying that every form of progress comes with challenges and downsides, and this saying of "Next generation will be fucked" is a cognitive bias every generation has had for a pretty long time.

They also have positive sides.

I don't know if I expressed myself that poorly (I was pretty tired after all), but I did not mean at all that there are no downsides to any of these. I meant that despite these sayings, every generation so far has ended up as fine as the previous ones.

Of course! But sometimes, most often even, the optimization is not worth the development to get it. We're particularly talking about memory optimization here, and it is so cheap (or at least it was... ha) that it is not worth optimizing like we used to 25 years ago. Instead you use higher level languages with garbage collection or equivalents that are easier to maintain with and faster to implement new stuff with. You use algorithms that consume a fuck ton of memory for speed improvements. And as long as it is fast enough, you shouldn't over optimize.

Proper optimization these days is more of a hobby.

Now obviously some fields require a lot more optimization - embedded systems, for instance. Or simulations, which get a lot of value from being optimized as much as possible.

That's on the people to vote for people who actually care.

Green parties rarely win, and that's on us.
